Certified Gold was the only expansion that I paid full price for, as I got all the others with vouchers that I got from people and some expansions were bought from KVR forum for about $15. Since last August up until now I've bought Soul Magic, Neo Boogie, Aquarius Earth, Crate Cuts, Certified Gold, Faded Reels, Pure Drip, Anima Ascent, DJ Khalil, Sierra Grove, and Headland Flow. That sent me on a 'expansion crave' after buying my first one. I ended up buying Faded Reels and was actually surprised with ALL of the content that was in this one expansion the kits, loops, one shots, and sound presets. Then I thought 'might as well use the last 2 on something before they expire.' That's when I really looked into Maschine expansions for the first time and seen not only do they contain premixed drum kits (usually around 50 per expansion) but some of them come with sound presets for Massive, Monark, Prism. Last year when the Cloud Supply instrument first came out I checked my email and saw that I had 3 unused e vouchers. I thought it was only a few drum kits for $50. I've been a Maschine user since 2013 but had NO CLUE what the expansions were. There are other alternatives too, things like Samples from Mars that include Maschine formatted packs or sounds that work within Kontakt. In addition to this YouTube is littered with videos of people demoing an entire expansion pack. On the NI site, all of the expansions detail what sounds and drums are included, with track demos, so it's worth checking the description. They also have the odd bundle sale here and there. In more recent sales they have let you choose. The Cloud 9 sale repeats, I bought it the first time they ran it, and you couldn't choose what you wanted, albeit there were less packs available at the time. It's also worth checking places like Knobcloud and eBay for cheap packs, I've sold a few on both sites in the past. Their bigger sales tend to be 'Summer of Sound' and whatever they do around black Friday and winter. There are always NI sales and they tend to repeat, so if you're not desperate I'd hold out. And like another member said, I've since upgraded to Komplete Ultimate Collection and now have the majority. I've been a machine user since the MK 1 released, and have bought more expansions then I can remember, sadly lol.
