Ahahah I know I'm sorry about that, it was bad man, no denying it. Had to boost the camera sound about 20 dB cause my dumb ass moved the mic out of the way 😂
@@BlezzBeats all good. Your videos have been super helpful and helped me decide to order the Maschine+ yesterday. I've had MKI since 2012 and stopped using it because it's not standalone and I felt too confined by having to stay inside patterns and scenes. Hoping clips finally solve that.
Thanks bro, honestly I had maschine+ for a month and couldnt figure it out until I seen your channel, much grattitude for actually showing what your hands are doing and explanations for functions, keeper comin fam. Much apreaciated.
Thanks so much for this tutorial have wondering how to use maschine as a looper for yonks, never realised it was so easy. Dude your videos are really good by the way. For me the best maschine content on the tube keep up the good work!
Dude, you’re beyond nice on the MK3. I feel like a child building a Tesla right now. Good shit keep the content coming. 9k is an absolute shame for the amount of knowledge you have.
I appreciate that man! True according to my calculations it should be around 90.000.000k around now, but with some slight tuning adjustments and help sharing it should be there in no time!
Microphone delay do you mean you have latency or a delay effect on your mic? If you have problems with latency check your soundcards buffer size settings in preferences.
Im trying to use this with turntables and scratching but its slightly annoying as it doesnt wrap the sample and i always get a moment of silence at the start of each loop and it makes the loop out of sync - is there anyway around this or do i need to get my cuts to an inhuman level of accuracy and timing ....or get a boss ?
Blezz, I am wondering if you have a tutorial video or advice on recording from the line in while in song mode? That is super important for my upcoming projects. I'm also struggling with transitions to new parts in my songs while in loop mode. I probably need to spend more time working through the looper problems. Your vids are the icing on my maschine plus cake bro!
Great stuff man! Loved the rhymes at the end! I'm hoping to do the looper thing with a little jazz combo I've got going... everyone take turns at the mic... get this Maschine+ out of the studio! Wouldn't it be nice if we could just hold down the delete key when renaming stuff? Or even better, a blank screen when we go to rename anything!
You GOTTA get that on film! Yeah that would be a bit more intuitive, I get excited about pressing buttons in general haha, but when you rename 8 groups in one sweep it gets a little labory. Voice detection through the mic to spell out words? 😁
Hello Blezz, Great stuff! One Question though, is there an option to loop in "Dubbing mode"? Meaning: after i played the 1st loop, i DON'T have to wait again for it to play out, just start another loop immediately? Thanks!
Thank you! It’s been a minute since I used the looper mode so I’d have to double check, but I think you can’t unfortunately. With a few small fixes like that, and jumping in to overdub or record to a track anywhere it would be almost perfect. I will push for it again with their beta program
I say this with the most respect possible: This may have been the most annoying, and yet incredibly useful tutorial I have ever seen for an instrument -- thank you so much! Question: Do you have any experience with the Akai Force (or MPC in general), and do you think this could function as a suitable audio mangler? The Octatrack is the standard for that, but I can't stand it's workflow, and so I'm torn between this and the Force. Thanks again!
Damn I need to upgrade my Mk2. Browsing through a Komplete Ultimate sized set of sounds with those crappy non-colour displays sucks balls. Nice, didn't think of keeping the sends in the same group. Much easier than using a separate send group, like I was doing. Cheers! Subbed.
you probably got your answer by now, but yes, you can then go into Edit mode or Slice mode, and simply slice the samples in any way you would if you were to be working with any other sample in maschine.
When trying to change the "Audio Source" "INPUT" from Channel 2, mine's doesn't show the ability to change the audio source, it says MIDI instead. How do I change it so that I can assign audio to the pad?
Avocados are on! Takes - uuh, super cool! (x pattern x group). I am not improvisationalist disclaimer is unnecessary, cus what it makes us :P Rocking and great demo BB! time to hook gtrs for no guilt on the fly looping :)
How are you able to run playback live? Cause my KRK are running through my controller and i cant have a separate input and output device. How have you go it set up?
I'm only using a separate input to capture the audio, so essentially my setup is no different from yours except it goes to my soundcard instead of my monitors. I show the routing in the video, mic is plugged into the mic input and under channel/input, audio source you can select an active source to monitor.
Yo what's the best way to strap fx over my mic and then send that out to my external effects delay and then back in to maschine to loop with? I'm trying to figure it out and its a headache i keep getting all sorts of feed back n shit. thanks my dude I subbed the other day!
I think the best way would be to cue the processed signal of your mic out to your headphone and sample it to another pad, check out my talkbox with maschine video it would be a similar technique, I think you could figure it out if you watch that
@@BlezzBeats ok after fiddling around major, I had somewhat of a break thru last night. Ideally what I want to do is Process my mic with OVox, send that out to my zen delay, put a reverb and compressor over the effected signal and then use perform effects but have all that be what the loop sampler receives, while Macroing the reverb n shit on and off. I can do all this in ableton but would be a game changer if I could do this all in box with Maschine. The routing is just difficult to comprehend. One technique I was gonna use was the loop back feature of my Audio interface but of course BIg Sur ruined that capability. Does this sound possible to just do in machine? Going to watch your talk box video now, thanks for getting back to me homie!
very interesting! i tried to switch from BOSS RC505 to Ableton, but i couldnt deal with the Latency which appeared by just adding a simple pitch shift effect on my vocals. (even with my RME Babyface @48 samples and 5.94ms overall latency shown in ableton, adding efx to vocal channel creates too much latency for vocal monitoring ruining the timing and fun) It seems you have no latency when adding efx to your mic input. I wonder if that's because Maschine+ is standalone - maybe the MK3 wouldnt work as smoothly without latency? - Also just based on this video i can't see if the Maschine really could replace a RC505 loopstation because: the overview of all the loops going on seems to be missing (rc505 shows the status of all 5 loopers at the same time) - also a direct way of controlling the volume (rc505 has 5 faders) ? Maybe there's a way to address the different maschine loopers via another Midi hardware?... i dont know. AND: Loop length 3,5,6,7 ... isn't even selectable=possible? Or does Loop length = FREE mean that when you make a 2,8 bar long beatbox, it automatically quantizes upwards to a 3 bar loop? I guess not, because usually that is called Looplength "AUTO", which appears to be nonexistant within maschine. Sorrry for my many questions.
Can you trigger the loops from an external device? I’m trying to tie my guitar into my electronic/midi setup. I’m controlling everything from the new Roland fantom, I would love to be able to record my guitar and have different loops triggered with different sequences from the Fantom if that makes sense. I’ve been researching everywhere. Any insight would be huge! Thank you. Great video as well! Just discovered your page and I love the lingo if you k-now what I mean
yo blezz, is it possible to nudge the loop like you would in say logic/ableton? So if I had something that starts essentially on the end of the fourth bar as a lead in to the beginning of the pattern? I Love the loop features but cant seem to figure this one out.... Much love brother
Yeah you can with the new clips! So you would record your loops into clips instead of patterns. Check out the clips video I did for a more thorough look on that
@@BlezzBeats but would that loop then with a pattern, or is that only in the arranger mode? I guess when I’m recording my loops I’d want it to capture the audio earlier than just on the “one” so to speak, and then loop from that point. Being familiar with recording them I know the different loop capture modes, but the editing is the tricky part. Instead of nudging the clip, or sample, I’d want to nudge the audio maybe? Rather complicated to explain.
Maschine MK3 I can’t get my guitar sound to work it’s plugged into mic output and I turned on the monitor on but all I hear is feedback from laptop mic but can’t hear my guitar 🎸 i hear there a way to routing audio some how to hear it hope you can help
@@BlezzBeats my laptop is on headphones sound that’s were my Audio is plugged in for my studio monitors . My maschine works fine with laptop I hear all the drum pads and ect just not the guitar
If you have your guitar plugged into the Maschine you have it plugged in to the Maschine audio interface. The Maschine interface should be selected in your audio settings, your headphones plugged to the headphone out of the Maschine, and your monitors to your line outputs of the Maschine. The guitar should be plugged into one of the line inputs. I’m not sure if you’re using any other interfaces such as the laptops internal audio or an external interface, but you can’t mix and match, only one can be active at the same time. Next step is to make sure you’re monitoring the input, easiest way is to go into Sampling and turn it on on the 3rd page.
I didn’t think I could forgive you for the noise at the beginning but after listening to your freestyle I forgive you
Ahahah I know I'm sorry about that, it was bad man, no denying it. Had to boost the camera sound about 20 dB cause my dumb ass moved the mic out of the way 😂

i didn't know about sending the inputs to a group. changes the game for me
many of these features have been there since ages, most people just don't know them :)
Yeeap!
Yep! Just changed my whoooole life
Good stuff as always sir! Keep it going! Keep it funky fresh!
could i use a condenser mic from my interface instead of a dynamic from the maschine line input? if yes please explain
Yes but if it needs phantom power you need some sort of preamp to power it before it goes in

@@BlezzBeats Really? Cool, I keep my eyes peeled.
awesome man !...thanks
Does this apply to the Maschine Mikro, too? Can you use the Maschine Mikro and the standard (non +) Maschine as standalone loop stations, too? Thanks
Yes, not without a computer connected though!
Hi man, do you know if its possible to slice the loops afterwards? How fast and easy is to do it? Specially for a live performance situation?

One tip when using sends: Turn the mix amount of the chosen FX to 100% wet! Otherwise you slapping the shiat out of that nu' Maschina, mengggg 😎👌!!!
Yeap always 100% on send fx!

so cool
How do you loop a sample from a song
😂😂😂 first time i did like a video cause the youtuber yell it at me, SMASHH IT
Hahaha 😂😂
U a god
You just saved me several hundred dollars
Can you do the same thing with the mk3?? And how do you plug your microphone into the unit?

ah busting rhymes lol
Wtf is that buzz
Just sending some subconscious information
but what if you wanted to make another 2 bar pattern to add onto that.
I cannot stitch 2 2 bar loops together to save my life.
Yeah it is a bit too basic to do that smoothly on the fly, you could make another pattern and make two scenes with the two different patterns in them.
