Hazy Days... a perfect Lo-fi Hip hop expansion and instrument combo!

As always, dope!

Is it Bill Evans?

Sometimes your Maschine screens get blown out or overexposed on camera. You should Bring maschine brightness down in so we can see them better

Bill Evans

benny goodman?

Sounds great. Would be great to know what notes you played in the first piano riff. I’m trying to learn how to play

Jeff, dude....this is one of the coldest melody tracks you've made bro! Wrap it up in a bow and sell it man!

I’ve enjoyed all of my favorite content YT creators about this NI expansion pack but this was by far the most enjoyable because you actually play!!!

My foolish heart...

Nice video, Jef!

I stumbled up on it just as I was looking to upgrade to Komplete 14 Collectors Edition (currently on K13 Ultimate), in another tab.
So, I take it these two are fresh out of the NI oven and probably not included in said K14 take-all-my-money edition?
Would have been great to just make it easy and pop those into the bundle!

On a related note, and perhaps you've covered this in the past but...
When you end up with so many expansion packs, how do you know where to browse for them specifically?
If I end up getting Hazy Days, while I don't own a Machine but obviously have Battery et al....how do I just get those sounds or even the loops?

I know I have a bunch of expansion packs from my current K13 but to be honest I have no idea where they are or what genre or sound each one focuses on! lol..
I'd have to go back to the NI site and look for it, read the description, see which instruments they are compatible with, etc.
Is there not an easy, more intuitive way?

Thanks for any tips!

Of course is you on the T-shirt…This or somebody forgot the iconic waves in the hairs of Dave Brubeck 😏

Nice beat Jef, and nice plug in!

Jeff, just such a great talent I can’t get that theme out of my head. Damn.

There’s a lot of assets in Hazy Days, kits for Battery, presets for Massive and 400+ loops - all curated for you! Similarly, Sway has cool sounds, but not enough to sell it as a completely new concept. I do like the familiar layout of Play Series instruments too. I just find I buy some of this content and rarely use it! I presume there are creators that have bought into everything NI releases so any new expansions provide the creativity and inspiration they’re looking for. It kinda makes sense - especially if you’re using a Maschine+ device. But in my case, I have 153 virtual instruments (sum of Logic, Komplete 14, Spitfire Audio, Arturia V, Korg Collection and dozens of 1 offs from u-he, Soundpaint, Vital, XT Surge and on-and-on). So I’m not as hooked in to NI and Maschine expansions - but often think it would be easier than learning all these different VSTi’s 🥵

Cool demo, as ever man. PS Is that Bill Evans on the Tee?

Love the sound of Lo-fi music! Great video! 🔥

Loved your vocal mangling!! — And I just hope, NI doesn’t get too lazy or crazy these days of summer!

I don’t know if you played piano like Bill Evans, but one thing is sure: you’re the best with Maschine !

Is that you on the shirt? Jef Gibbons March dropping soon???

Awesome! Thanks for your videos! ❤

You must believe in spring, Jef!

Looks like Glen Miller Jeff?

Hi Jeff, I can't seem to get your affiliate links to work.

NICE lil tweak on that second vocal snippet

Man they pump these expansions out like it's candy

Sounds terrific

Thanks Jeff, Appreciate You & Your Talent and Your Knowledge!

Sounds like some Kaytranada type stuff. I dig the Lo Fi vibe I'm hearing though

Nice, dig it 😎

I mean, that T-shirt image is *you*, right?!

There are so many other styles, Synthwave, Chill out, Cinematic, etc. but nothing, everything is hip hop in NI. 😞

NI only drop expansions, they don’t do anything to update Maschine or Maschine+
