Mine differs. Today, I made a remix on Maschine 3.0. Yesterday, I synced up an MPC 2500 with Maschine, MPC master, Maschine (on an i13900f as a slave). I also sync my SP404mk2 with Maschine. In both cases, Maschine is used as a Massive synth using my CE 14.
I'm using a Komplete Kontrol S49, the Maschine mk3, and the MPC One+ with Studio One. And I'm using a Beringer X2222 mixing board as my interface, but I haven't been able to get my MPC to sync successfully with my computer. My cpu doesn't even recognize my MPC through usb for some odd reason.🤔 But after watching this video, I'm going to switch to my old Presonus Audiovox interface with midi inputs to get my MPC to fully sync with Studio One. I've never had any problems syncing my Maschine and S49 with everything.
I don't think you understand how much Jewels you just dropped explaining your setup and how this could possibly Inspire other folks to get more into the workflow! Thank you so much for sharing this, Queen! 👑🙌🏿👑✊🏿🎵🎶
I might not be a producer, but I had a good time hanging out here! I really like how you present and talk about often super specific stuff on your channel, it's relaxed but still engaging, informative, and super accessible even for new people like me!
Greetings, you can use Maschine as an instrument in Ableton. I do it this way and I route each sound to an external instrument so that I'm able to Arrange, Mix or whatever. Not sure if you've tried this method before or not. Been using Ableton since version 2, which is a long time LOL. Sometimes, I just drag the sounds directly from Maschine into Ableton as well when i'm feeling lazy.
Thank You for sharing fam! I am not a fam of all that just to use a VST in Ableton. Maschine needs to make it more user friendly. I’m glad you enjoying that method 😂😊
@@Sarah2ill I feel you on that. Once i got the shiz working I didn't look back because of exactly what you said. I used to work for NI and I already knew how the ball was dropped with Maschine and it's software. Now, my issue with your Midi set up method is I don't have the Maschine+, I have the MK3 controller and i can't figure out how to Link it to my MPC. The MPC Link I can see to Ableton but Maschine, isn't cooperating.
Or you can use the Akai Professional Network MIDI wirelessly via local home or office wifi(no Internet). It's apart of the driver files that comes along with your mpc on your InMusic account. Or the blue USB cable that comes along with your MPC Live n X.
Hey! Great channel! As someone who plays keyboards and is getting into music production, this has been incredibly helpful. There aren’t many channels that go into such detail about setups. Keep up the great work!
Wow! Your setup is really nice. My dream is to have the new MPC X and the new maschine coming out. You could literally do everything with just those two machines! Thanks for the video- very much appreciated!
curious about why you prefer chopping on the mpc, I think maschine has the best sample slicer ever made lol. but Im talking about the mk3, idk how it translates to the plus
@@Sarah2ill Just the OG's. I have a 4000. I'll try one of the moderns some day. What I like about the mk3 is non destructive slice markers, overlapping start and end points, pitch shift per slice, and zooming and selecting slice points is awesome. I got a push3 and is not quite there like the mk3. I don't like touch screens that much but for slice points may be a good idea indeed. Can you non destructively pitch shift per slice on the X ? Overlapping slice points ?
MIDI has always been elusive to me. Appreciate you showing how yours is set up cause it’s a very relatable setup. I have an MPC One Retro, SP404 MK2, TE KO2, Ableton Move, Novation Launchkey 37, Black Lion Audio Revolution 2x2 interface, krk’s, and a MacBook Pro with Ableton 12. All the tools but I am now at the stage where my priority is hooking them all up to work together not piece by piece. Thanks for the video!
I am happy to see your video I’m doing a similar set up with mpc 2500, mpc 37, Maschine and protools. I was excited like you thinking of all the possibilities. No one will understand unless they tried doing a similar setup
I’ve tried it and it’s a good idea but I literally have every expansion pack and that’s too much converting when I can use the hardware. I want to use the hardware.
@@Sarah2ill yeah you are right I forgot about it!! actually I never loved maschine because of it’s “impossible”midi editing and the lack of deep parameters controls on vsts. Mpc compared feels way better. Just hoping for an arranger upgrade to make it less of a math homework and more of an Ableton kinda thing.
Been followin you for quite some times. One of the best studios in my oppinion. Only thing i have to add is get a proper pair of speakers. Some genelecs or something that suits your needs. It will also make it clearer what exactly are you listening to. Keep up the good work! Have a nice day! :)
Thank You for the feedback fam! I rarely using my monitors due to my studio currently being in an apartment. I can’t hear things properly and I respect my neighbors so I typically mix in headphones. Once I get a better room, the speakers will be upgraded
Strange how things CIRCLE AROUND and re-surface! MIDI was the s*** in the late 80's through late 90's! Back then I had a BOSS drum machine, Korg X3 and Roland JV90 and I had ALL THAT in sync through MIDI without any issues! Then came all of the computers (RISE OF THE MACHINES🤣). But seriously, I'm happy to see that MIDI is definitely making its rounds once again and that you've managed to connect everything they way you want it to flow! Good job Sarah and KEEP ASCENDING!!!!
Good stuff Sara, that's awesome. I have both and was wondering how to get them to talk to each other. If I had know you were going to Nm this year I would have been there to get you. I saw your performance which was really good. Thanks for sharing!
I keep it simple with plenty sounds on the MPC and midi keyboard and turntable with huge collection of vinyl from the 60s too today. Endless beat making
Nice video thanks! I’ve opted to convert my Maschine expansions to ableton format and just stay in Ableton. The only external synth I’m routing currently is the Moog grandmother, pick one up, you’ll love it.
I love using midi to trigger and sync. My Mpcx controls everything whether I’m in standalone or controller mode. But I sequence all of my older samplers via midi (mpc 1000, roland ms-1, Yamaha su10) and some of the new equipment too. ❤
I love you’re vibes. You’re good people. Are you not using the push at all? I ended up selling the machine + for the push 3. Mpc is looking great these days with their new update though. Keep it up! Love your channel!
Sarah, the Ableton Link protocol works over Wifi. That means all your clocking is happening without your midi cables. If you are using MPC/Mas to enter notes into Live, then you need to connect midi cables. Likewise if you are using Live to send notes to your MPC/Mas, you need midi cables (or midi over USB) connected. If you are only using clocking from Live, like you are in this video, then Link over wifi will suffice and you do not need any midi cables connected. I hope this makes sense.
I record similarly. I make sure to record the midi notes in the midi track too though. Mute the midi once I recorded the audio in. All my synths I make sure to get them on the right msb, lsb, and program to recall the right preset on the external gear. Thats the only way to not have to find the preset all over again. Never tried with Ableton as the clock though. When recording the audio. I like to punch in and stop without looping for my reverb and delay tails.
Thank you for just making it known that it's possible. I've been trying to figure out how to combine both in ableton for over a month, and then I found your video. I can't wait to get time to try and put it all together. Just one question, with 2 studio monitors connected to my 4i4 audio interface, will I need a larger interface to have enough connections to accommodate?
i never knew how wild Ableton was for Live performance until i saw live video of a popular metal band called Northlane there gutarist was adding samples and effecting the stage production at the same time
I have two setups! One for djing and 1 for production. Basic: Monitors, Audio interface, Win Desktop and 16 Mac Pro: Fl21, Logic 10, and Protools Ultimate. 2- midi keyboards, 2!-Dj controller, 4 microphones ( different) software vst: LoopCloud , Arcade, Serato Dj,studio , Traktor 3 , …. I do a lot of live work!!
Sarah you would love the Digitakt 2 if you ever get that in your arsenal. I sold off a bunch of gear tol slim down my choices, but had to get the Digitakt. Even sold my Octatrack. it was too difficult for me to learn.
Its actually easier to open up the the Mashcine vst and the Mpc vst at the same time in ableton then drag out the sounds them out into the song section of ableton. Also you may want to get better quality audio cables for your maschine set up like moogami gold. You could be loosing sound quality. Love your videos and your set up!
Yep! Good to see someone discovering the amazing world of midi!💪🏽 A hybrid approach, utilizing midi concepts, allows a seamless link between the old and new gear. Combined knowledge and mastery will have you leaps and bounds ahead of any would-be "competitor(s)" 😤 . As is probably apparent already. 😜Blending the tech midi\usb\analog, etc.. exponentially extends the creative possibilities. Just ask any self-proclaimed midi master.😊 When you get new equipment, don't toss out anything old...midi it up, and add it to the setup!!!😂 Learn and implement everything you can! You won't be sorry. Have fun!🎶🎶 #StudioLife #TheWay #HybridMindset #BestOfBothWorlds #DontSleepOnMidi #TheOracle #PlatinumLogik 🎹🎛🎹🎚🎹🎸🎙🎧🎶🎶
Hey! Have you ever thought about using KitMaker to transfer your Maschine Expansions to your MPC ? 🤷♂️ Just an idea…so you have the mpc workflow and the Maschine sounds
Dope!!!! I just purchased my MPC1+ 2 days ago. Ive been looking at tutorial videos with the MPC1 and ableton setup since there isn't any how to videos with the MPC and Serato Studio. Ive managed to download the drivers for serato so the MPC App comes out but Im still not figuring it out. Is it better to just switch over to ableton? Or does serato have the same capacities.
Serato studio is extremely limited compared to Ableton LIVE. Yes. I would consider using any major daw to get the best experience and access to tutorials. You can also use chat gpt to help you with setting up your software.
Hi Sarah your content is very good keep it up, just a tip you are not actually using your midi cables you are using the ableton link, if you remove your midi cables you will get the same results you are getting now, to use your midi cables you have to remove the ableton link and you will no longer need to click at the same time to sync, set it to Sync Receive MIDI CLOCK and Sync Send MIDI CLOCK and then you will be using your cables and everything will be smooth :)
I had the very first maschine and haven’t used it years and years but back then you could insert maschine software on an instrument track like a software instrument. There were limitations then which I can’t remember but it worked inside of pro tools and ableton. I’ve also moved away from NI in lieu of dedicated instruments but understand the massive palette it gives you that’s hard to put down. Lmk if maschine doesn’t work as an insert…. Are you running maschine in stand alone on its own computer or r u running it standalone on the ableton computer?
Wait, so you have maschine software running on your computer in the background? Not as a plugin I see. I have a somewhat similar setup, actually crazier and more confusing than this lol. I use multiple computers (pc and mac) and multiple devices syncing and talking using network midi. are you just using the one computer?
the ableton link is actually via network. its much easier to setup and requires no cables. the midi sync options would use the midi cables though. you could even link the mpc and the maschine together as well. going out from mpc to the maschine then out to ableton. then you wouldnt need the usb midi cable.
Whoa! Lol I’m always blown away by the possibilities. Thank You for sharing!!! I gotta look into this! Is there a good video on this or do you have this set up?
Extreme contradictory statement incoming. Your set up is completely over-the-top and unnecessary. That being said, I really love your set up. I love how you chained everything together and made it to your own. People forget that, regardless of what anyone else thinks, what matters is how it works for you and if it works for you. My set up is different from yours, but not much less complicated. But it works for me. That’s a beauty of music production. There’s 1 million ways to do it as long as you understand that it works for you that’s all that matter. I love the feature that you can sync it, and it only records when you hit the down of the next measure. I’ve been using midi since 2005 and as much as there are newer protocols, it has been so reliable
Love to see females producing music ❤. I'm old and trying to get into the computer stuff I might need your help please. My weaknesses is hook up how to hook everything together and what to buy. If you have time please let me know I'm still in the stone age 😆
@ … I have not touched a drum machine in 10 years! I worry about my learning curve. I currently use Designer and samples. But I wanna try MPC or something I can take my melody and just add drums and kicks to create a full beat.
I been looking on Zz Sound and Sweetwater for equipment so far . I would view the history to show what types I need and what works with what I currently have.
what makes no sense to me on youtube i see people studio and they have great synths plugged in to crap budget studio monitors which mask frequencies how can one buy great synths but be happy to use budget boy studio monitors there missing out big style studio monitors should be the main thing people get right when it comes to high end studio gear
Well I live in an apartment. It’s a living room, not a recording studio. It already sounds like shit. I mix using headphones. Feel free to send me some monitors and get me some studio time ✌🏾
What is you current set up?

Try using the usb type b port direct to ableton into the VST or midi track in put. With out all the extra
Thats cool I like to daisy chain all my devices

People forget that, regardless of what anyone else thinks, what matters is how it works for you and if it works for you. My set up is different from yours, but not much less complicated. But it works for me. That’s a beauty of music production. There’s 1 million ways to do it as long as you understand that it works for you that’s all that matter.
I love the feature that you can sync it, and it only records when you hit the down of the next measure.
I’ve been using midi since 2005 and as much as there are newer protocols, it has been so reliable
Love to see females producing music ❤. I'm old and trying to get into the computer stuff I might need your help please. My weaknesses is hook up how to hook everything together and what to buy. If you have time please let me know I'm still in the stone age 😆
Next purchase of Drum Machine and Recorder. I have a volume of vsts and samples.
Sweet! Which drum Maschine and recorder?
@ … I have not touched a drum machine in 10 years! I worry about my learning curve. I currently use Designer and samples. But I wanna try MPC or something I can take my melody and just add drums and kicks to create a full beat.
I been looking on Zz Sound and Sweetwater for equipment so far . I would view the history to show what types I need and what works with what I currently have.
"wrapping my head around midi" *sitting in front of 8 midi controllers
so why dont she just load the maschine softwasre up in ableton and set a audio channal to maschine and record it that way
I explained in the video that I do not enjoy that method.
This is officially unofficial. Throw the ASR- 10 in the line up officially with the midi sync. Midi the MPC and ASR-10 to ABLETON
I still gotta wrap my head around the ASR-10. But I have the Audio going to the MPC now.
God bless you:)

Why is it important to have four drums machine in your studio?. The best Reggae Album for 2024 their drums tracks was played on an Arturia Keylab MK2.
Why are you focused on the amount of machines in my studio and note focused on yours? Does the amount of devices I have bother you?
I thought you literally drag and dropped midi chord packs instead of composing
what makes no sense to me on youtube i see people studio
and they have great synths plugged in to crap budget studio monitors which mask frequencies
how can one buy great synths but be happy to use budget boy studio monitors there missing out big style studio monitors
should be the main thing people get right when it comes to high end studio gear
Well I live in an apartment. It’s a living room, not a recording studio. It already sounds like shit. I mix using headphones. Feel free to send me some monitors and get me some studio time ✌🏾
