This was by far the clearest and most helpful tutorial for this, I knew it had to be this simple haha! Thanks! definitely subbing!
Ahh, thanks for the nice compliment, I am really happy this was helpful and thanks for the sub!
Thanks so soo much.
It's frustrating that other people aren't as clear as you are.
I'm dyslexic and really struggle with information but you came to save the day.
Thanks
Sammmeeeee
I appreciate that this video gets right to the point. I started using Ableton more seriously abt three years ago, and haven't really touched my Maschine controller since then. I kinda wanna pick it back up again. Thanks for the video!
Thank you for this video!!! I’ve spent my entire winter break trying to integrate Maschine into Ableton and Logic and nothing I’ve found has been as clear as this video. 🙏
Ahh, thank you for such a nice compliment! I am glad to hear this was helpful and that you had the time to devote to making music over break! I am dreaming of the day I can get a solid block of time to make music, so much learning happens when you can just focus solely on your craft! Thanks for watching!!
signed into my youtube after getting this maschine + retro, being a native ableton and push user i gave up on it twice already after having an mk3 2 years ago and selling before i've gotten to the point im at now. i can actually understand what im doing on the device itself, but learning how to manage the maschine software with the instrument (i love being hands on and playing things) and ableton is a HUGE plus for me. thank you so much for your time, and the fact you were juggling so much in life at the time and still took the time out of your busy day to educate us and teach us how simple things can be i have great appreciation for you as a human being. thank you so much blake!!!!!
Hey, I am glad to hear that you gave another go at it - just keep going, that's what I tell myself because I am not anywhere NEAR to being an expert at Maschine, I have my own struggles, lol! Thanks for watching, I appreciate you!!!
New subscriber here:
Hi everyone, I have a Maschine Plus and was frustrated for weeks because I could not get Ableton to "see" the Plus as a controller. I eventually found the solution -- the solution is this: I had to hit "settings/system" and then hit the "controller" button to take the Plus out of the "stand-alone" mode and Ableton could "see" the device and details in Blake's video work perfectly. To return back to "stand-alone" mode you reverse the process by hitting "settings/system" and hitting a new button now called "stand-alone."
Hey, thanks for sharing this information here - it will definitely be helpful for others!!! Appreciate it and thank you for subscribing!!!
As an old British Rock n Roller (yes recorded our records in London on Ampex in Pye #2 studios) I needed to let you know what a great explanation of this murky cavern of Mashine to Live!!
Glad it was helpful!
This has saved me so much time. I was messing around with templates and trying to use Maschine as a vst but this is so much better.Thank you!
This is great to hear --- have fun making some music now!!
Awesome. You have a new random Swedish synthwave producer follower. Notifications on.
Lol, hello and welcome! Thanks for subscribing, now I just need to make some more videos!
hello @blake, your videos truly helps on beginners that are struggling to find a workflow just like myself, this changed my game, and i truly appreciate this, thank you very much ! keep doing videos, your great ! i hope you reach your goals you most desire !
Ahh, this is the nicest comment. Thank you so much for taking the time to watch the video and write out this compliment, I really appreciate it! I try to make videos about things that work for me -- in areas where I have gotten caught up myself. Glad to hear it is helpful for you! I wish you the best in your musical journey!!!
@@BlakeHeart i believe this is the way to evolve music and youtube content, is to feedback artists when they do good ! Atleast in my opinion ! Thank you !
saaaaaame!!!!
What a fantastic and very informative video, thank you.
Yay, thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment!
excellent... elegantly simple
Even if I find content useful on a channel I rarely subscribe - but not this time! This was so clear, definitive, and easy to digest as a beginner with these 2 systems. Love your attitude, engagement, and approach! You brought so much value towards helping me establish a wf, thank you! Can’t wait to see more.
Thank you so much, this is such a nice compliment. I appreciate you and these words motivate me to make more videos!!!
Great job, sis. Maschine was kicking my butt. Great info that really helped me. Subbed!
This helped a ton! And.. now I'm sure that I will get Ableton next to Maschine and keep Logic for mastering. Fantastic workflow!
Yay, glad to hear and thank you for watching! I appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment and I hope you are out there making awesome music and having a fun time doing it!!
made up my mind for me ! Thanks !
By far the most informative video how to use Ableton Live and my trusty ol' Maschine Studio together. Keep up the good work. You really helped me here. Many Thanks, and stay creative.❤
Thank you so much for this!!!! I bought my MK3 and Komplete keyboard not realizing how non-linear workflow would be with ableton. It’s not bad at all! This video helped me so much! 😍😭🥺 sending you love and positive vibes.. Merry Christmas to you and your family! 🙏🏻
Yay, that's awesome to hear, glad you are enjoying the process and having fun making music!! Merry Christmas to you and your family as well!
This is hands down the best MK3 video I've seen on TH-cam. You've got a new subscriber in me!
Awesome, so happy to hear that this was super helpful for you! Thank you for subscribing!!!
Thank you sweetheart. Really Appreciate the video. ❤
Really good explanation
Thanks, for the info. Just about everyone that try to explain this it seem like they were explaining how to get to the moon and back, but you explained for dummies like me, so good job.
Ahh, what a nice compliment! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this comment and I am so happy that I was helpful!

Wooo i'm playing with my maschine for 2 months now and i didnt saw thoses options to export midi and .wav files directly like this.
THANK YOU !
Oh, that's awesome this was helpful! Hope you are having an awesome time making music and sorry for this super late response to your comment!!
Amazing! Blake you helped me with a number of things that I was struggling with! Greatly appreciated!
Glad I could help!!! Thanks for the kind thank you!!!
Great video. It would also be good to see a whole workflow of say, working in Maschine and then taking it into Live to finish a track. Utilizing Push 2 as well.
Yeah, I need to find the time to get into live streaming so I can really get into it! Thanks for watching!
i'd agree with pierre B on that....just picked up maschine today...and have push in my system and really want to see how it might work having both controllers inside of ableton.....
Thanks for the great info!
You're welcome, thanks for watching!
This was very helpful. I couldn't figure out how to get individual tracks until I saw this. Thanks Blake ! Subbed
Great, thanks for commenting and subbing, appreciate it!!
thank you so much, it help me a lot!
I really have been wanting to get out of sitting at my desk when making music. I've been stuck between MK3 and Push, but I think MK3 is the winner. Easily explained. Thanks!
Thanks for watching!!
Great work, Blake Heart!
Very helpful thanks!
Thanks for watching!
Awesome video, exactly what i was looking for, thank you so much!!!!
You’re very welcome, thanks for taking the time to leave a comment!!
lifesaver that was so so helpful and your passion is beautiful shine on
Ahh, thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment! So glad this helped you!
Nice tips !
Thank you, thanks for watching!
This makes much more sense than the audio routing route
Made more sense to me too, which is why I made the video!
thank you for this, instantly subscribed!
Thanks for watching and subscribing!!
Great tutorial! :)
Awesome, glad it was helpful!
You can organize your samples into folders on your own.
Awesome video. Thank you
Thanks for watching!!!
Thank you, Blake. Loving the drag and drop of both audio and midi from Maschine to Ableton.
Never one to hold back on running before I can walk, I bought a Maschine plus as well with the idea of using it live and condensing my Ableton tracks so as to be able to set them up on Maschine plus for a live set. Does the drag and drop work the other way?
Thanks a lot, you are awesome. Very well explained and simple, you gave me the answer a was searching for !!!!
Woohoo, thanks for watching and I am glad it was helpful!
Blake - THANK YOU!!! These tips were SO fucking great. You're amazing, stay wonderful. :D
Hey!! Thank you, appreciate you!!! Glad this was helpful!
great video. thanks. i've had Maschine since late 2011 (and Jam) but i just bought Live Intro a couple days ago. the software is weird to look at, so seeing how Maschine can be integrated like you've shown is pretty amazing
Awesome, I am glad this was helpful!
yo best tutorial ever fr!!!!
Ahhh, thank you, I am glad this was helpful!
Awesome tip!!
Love the video !
Awesome, thanks for taking the time to comment, glad this was helpful!
Really clear and useful. 😎
Great to hear, thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment!
Great info. Thanks. Would like to know how I can use Maschine Mk3 as a MIDI instrument to actually record the MIDI notes from the pads hits.
I believe there are some instructions on how to do that on the Native Instruments website, I just did a quick search, this might be helpful for what you want to do -- support.native-instruments.com/hc/en-us/articles/4413367278097-How-to-Install-MASCHINE-Templates-for-Ableton-Live
Yo this was so informational and well articulated. It’s apparent you have Komplete Kontrol 😉 of Maschine/Ableton integration. Appreciate you sharing. Liked. Commented. Subscribed. ✌️
Hey there, thank you for watching and glad to hear this was helpful!!
awesome ..... thanks for tips and tricks.. regards ..

@@BlakeHeart You most welcome
Juhuuuuu thank youuuuu!!!
Thank you for watching!
Very informative! Thank you
Thanks for watching!
This is so helpful just subscribed I have been with maschine for a while still learning a workflow. Thank you 😊
Awesome, thanks for watching and subscribing!!!
this is great thank you, one question.. is there a way you can fade in and out with the midi clips like you can with the audio clips?
Awesome video! Great info 🙏🏾 thanks
Thanks for watching, glad this was helpful!!!
really instructive and well explain, great work, please make more with maschine jam :)
Thanks for watching, glad this was helpful! The machine jam is definitely forgotten by many people, I should get back to using it!
Great video! Thank you.
Thank you for watching!
Super helpful! Thank you so much.
Awesome, glad it was helpful, thank you for watching and taking the time to leave a comment!!
Really informative.. great video.. and you've improved a lot! Keep going :)
Hey, thank you -- with every beat I make, I improve, and I am determined to keep going!!
So helpful, thank you.
You are VERY welcome!
Thanks.
I use Logic Pro X but this tutorial was helpful for me nonetheless! I'm still learning my way around the Maschine so this was such a cool video! Thank You!
Thanks for watching!
I don’t know if I’m doing something wrong but when I open the maschine vat in ableton 11 shift and record don’t work, normally you get a count in but nothing happens
Really great video, subscribed!
Thanks so much! I am glad this was helpful!
Blake, I really like your style of teachine with Maschine and Ableton, and producing in general. I am currently trying to figure out how to best set up my live tracks for my church using Maschine and Ableton Lite, and the songs we do are subject to repeating or jumping to another part of the song. Trying to avoid buying the standard edition if possible since I already had to pony up the dough for Logic Pro (needed some of the tools and sounds). Anyway, thanks for the breakdown.
Hey, thank you!! Glad this was helpful. I wish you a smooth journey in creating your tracks!!!
I'm confused - what IS the Native Instrument's software, if it isn't a DAW?
Thanks, this was really helpful!
Thanks for watching, glad it was helpful!!!
so is there no way to just load maschine up as a vst and use it as a midi instrument istelf? i.e have ableton midi tracks triggers drums in maschine?
Does the play button etc work in maschine in ableton? or do you need to map maschine etc...
Hello !
I have a Mikro mk3 and I know that still not exist teamplate for it . But I saw (even in official site of NI ) that it is possible integrate Maschine software in Ableton as VST. BUT now I can't find this information . Maybe you can help me with this dilemma ?
Thanks for answer !
This video is awesome. Thank u
Thank you for watching and for taking the time to leave a comment. Glad to hear it was helpful!
Did the software (firmware?) update that you mention at the outset ever appear? If so, has it transformed the way you use Maschine with Ableton? Thank you.
I haven’t found a simple explanation like this anywhere. Very good job!!! And for that you get a sub. I have both and I like to switch to keep things fresh. Hey, how’s it work in reverse?
What a nice compliment, thanks for watching and subscribing. I just try to make videos that I wish someone would have made for me to find on TH-cam! I have no interest in going in reverse, generally start with Maschine to flesh out the ideas, and move over to Ableton...
I hope I get this. This is like my 100th video on Ableton with machine mk2.
Hah! I hope it gave you some new ideas of how you may want to work with the two.
I just want to sequence machine in ableton while playing on the pads inside maschine (not midi mode)
Thanks!!!
Thanks for watching!
Great Job Friend!!!!
Hey, thank you!!
This is epic. I was so confused lol starting with maschine. Thanks!
Ahhh, I loved reading this comment. I am really glad that this video helped you out. Both Maschine and Ableton are awesome, and as you use them you will develop your own workflow that works best for you! Have fun making music and thanks for watching!
How can download the maschine software as a plugin in ableton? do i need a maschine hardware?
If you own a serial to Maschine, you can download the software and yes, use it as a plugin in Ableton. But you need to have a registered serial number in Native Access to be able to download it...
@@BlakeHeart thank you apreciate it
Workflow is only ever an issue if you have a deadline; I don't work with deadlines
can you load random sample packs to Maschine? like any wav sample pack not Expansion Packs
Yes you can, I don't have a video on it -- but look for some, they are there.
I think the best way is using NI's script for Ableton Live which gives Maschine a ton of functionality. It's on NI's website along with instructions.
Right, you can use Maschine as a midi controller inside Ableton - and there are a bunch of ways to use Maschine with Ableton, this was just something that was working for me - in terms of my personal workflow, and I thought I would share it BUT yes, you definitely need to find out what works best for you...it will be different for everybody.
so can you just use maschine studio as a midi controller for ableton or other software-are the keys programmabled for other software,meaning not using maschine sofeware like this video shows
You can use Maschine as a midi controller in Ableton BUT what I am doing is actually using both with Ableton. It is a workflow thing - they are different pieces of hardware, similar, but different just as maschine software is different than Ableton Live. For me, I like using them both, I get the ideas flowing with Maschine - and build them out and finish them off in Ableton. Best of both worlds!
How can you record instruments such as bass and synths straight into Ableton? Thanks
Search for exactly that on TH-cam and you should fine a ton, you will need an audio interface of some kind to bring your signal into your computer.
Can this be done while also using Maschine’s pads for piano roll in Ableton?
Just responded under your other comment....
Brilliant thanks Blake! Ableschine could be good?
I like that!!
Brilliant. Subbed! 👍
Awesome, thanks for subbing!!
My machine is not showing either the audio or the midi icon on the timeline, can someone help?
Are you in clip mode -- just found this -- www.reddit.com/r/maschine/comments/q664od/maschine_214_dragger_icons_missing/
Thanks, it only took two years.
Great video and topic! Question: can you drag the full midi patterns from Maschine to a drum rack? I think you said you could but last time I tried, something weird happened.
Great question, I should have been more clear - as best as I know there is no way to drag all into a drum rack, but you can move a drum rack into the midi clip once the drum midi is there and if you want all your drum midi in the same drum rack, you can just copy and paste it one by one into that one midi track, which is a bit tedious. You would then need to move it to the corresponding note, because all are on C3 by default I believe. I personally like to keep all my drums separate and then place them into a group, this way I can have individual control over each with effects, etc., but then also easily apply effects to all the drums in that group.
This is great but when I drag over a pattern from maschine into Ableton. It doesn't loop properly. It always has a tail end of blank sound. How do I fix this issue?
Did you figure it out -- sorry but I don't know what the issue is...
So by default, how/where can i find the samples I imported/dragged from Maschine to Ableton?
If you choose collect all and save in Ableton you should be good to go - and will have all samples within the Ableton project folder. I am always on the same computer, don't move around -- and don't collaborate with folks, so not an issue for me generally. But with any DAW, if you are collaborate and moving around - make sure to save with samples, collect all and save, etc., whatever the DAW calls it because they label it differently. Hope this helps!
Muito bacana!
Obrigado... Continuo um pouco perdido com tudo, estou com a maschinemk3 a pouco tempo e agora usar junto com o ableton, mas continuo perdido, mas seu video me ajudou bastante... muito obrigado
I translated your comment, so you will need to translate mine, lol! Glad this was helpful, and congrats on digging in deeper, be patient, there's a lot to learn and it takes time -- but I promise if you stick with it, and keep moving forward, even if slowly, you will be really happy you stuck with it!!
@@BlakeHeart obrigadooo!!!!! Continue firmee.. Abraço
Does your maschine mk3 have latency when your finger drumming (vst) into ableton live?? I need answers to fix the latency there's no latency in standalone mode!
First place to look is buffers.. Dunno if maschine in plugin mode has buffer settings, but if so, make sure they match up with ableton's.
I suck at finger drumming - hopefully other people can help you around here. Sorry!
really friggin helpful, thanks
Awesome, glad I could help you out! Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment!!
@@BlakeHeart I love you
