I had to do my Set Up differently, my speakers didn't have the same input as the video has. Thank you so much. I haven't use Pro Tools since 2017. I am happy with everything here. Again, thank you so much. I am soooo excited to continue my major project.
Thanks for this video, as a new person to the whole Native Instruments MK3 & S61, I'm just trying to wrap my head around hooking it all up and getting it all meshing and working well together. I am finding your videos very informative and helpful, Thanks.
thank you very much it really helped me to start using the maschine mk3 although i learned on the app the Imaschine 2 . but am starting to feel the fun on the hardware rather than the software. thank you
Recently got one. Haven't had much time with it, but been watching some getting started videos and yours was by far the easiest. Subscribed, looking forward to watching the other tuts!
Hi Dave. Great video. When I play through my computer, I can hear all my sounds with effects but when I connect it directly to the MK3, I cannot hear any effects. Can you help me resolve this issue? Many thanks.
If I recall, the Maschine has a "performance mode" which allows the user to hear the metronome in headphones while the audience hears only the music. Perhaps your issue is related to this split-output functionality, somehow.
Hi Just got one of these how would I set up recording in ableton along with my Roland fantom which is already connected to my mixer via 1/4 jack cables Thanks
Hi Dave, not sure if you’ve come across this issue I’m having with my Mk3, I’m unable to see/get any signal on the line in inputs, if I connect the same cable to the mic input I get signal and can sample, which makes me think it might be a hardware issue? Running a MacBook Pro on Catalina
Good video but a suggestion - it would be much better if the Mk 3 hardware device itself filled the screen and, if necessary, the software in the smaller inset window. Difficult to make out what is happening with such a small image
hi, i'm new to this. At 3:40 into your video when you hit load in groups, i'm not getting a the pattern. The pads to activate each separate sound are working. How do i configure my settings so the prerecorded drum pattern will load onto the desktop project window?
Hi Tom, C=thanks for checking out my channel. At the bottom left of the screen you will see an oblong and the word '+pattern' in it. highlight that and it'll load patterns each time :-)
@@DAVEDigitalandVinylExpert Hi Dave did you manage to do this?? Any info would be greatly appreciated. I'm trying to work my MK3 alongside the scarlett 2i2
Hi JD I haven't unfortunately as time is flying by atm with a little one. But if you email dave@digitalandvinylexpert.com i'd be more than happy to help
Hi Dave, I'm downloading everything there is that needs to be downloaded apart of the software, but when I get onto the Maschine app, I don't see anything under "All Sounds". I see items under "All Instruments" and "All Effects", but nothing under "All Sounds." Is there any advice you can give to help me out here? Thank you.
Oh Cailon, that sucks. I’ll try my best to help. Can you send me screen shots of your native access and Maschine under what you mentioned and groups to dave@digitalandvinylexpert.com 🤞🏼
Hi Clarissa, glad you are enjoying my videos and I see you watched my response video to answer you question. If you have any other questions then don’t hesitate to ask.
you said "click here, select all, and then hit delete", to take out the preloaded sounds. but where did you click when you said, click here? thought you weren't using the mouse.
Right on DAVE thanks so much for your reply and help on the shortcut key. just got the mk3 and this is my first experience with the software and hardware. trying to learn this workflow and interface is daunting. i am coming from traktor and the S5. Love your videos, very informative. After your beginner video #3, you asked if we had any questions to send them along, i have about a hundered of them. Could you do a little more explanation on what buttons and settings you are using in video #3? much appreciated, there is a big need for these intro mk3 videos as NI does not give much help.
+Ryan Hirschberg thanks again Ryan. I’ll be covering every single button over these videos as I feel it’s important to truly know the products you own.

Have a good weekend.
Hello Dave! I recently bought a Maschine MK3. I've used native access to install various sound packs and instruments. However, after installing everything the instruments wouldn't load on my maschine. What should I do?
Hey Pleon That’s odd. Did you install applications and content onto your computer or external hdd? Email at dave@digitalandvinylexpert.com and I’ll see what I can do to help.
hey bruv! thank you for the videos they help a lot mate! i was wondering if you could help out with addressing how to expand the size of th loop and how to add sounds... I'm having trouble with the whole recording thing and adding sounds

Hello, when I turned my Maschine on, the UNDO pad is red, the A button is also red. Every button is inactive. When I press the BROWSE button (as you do in 2:30), nothing happens. Do you know what could be the problem? Thank you very much
@@DAVEDigitalandVinylExpert Hello Dave, I solved it already by unplugging it from the computer and from the power station. Thank you for answering man, you rock!
I love that Maschine screen that says Library... but where is it? I can't find it anywhere.... do you press a button, open some software... where is it?
Great question. I personally would buy the mk3 because I come from a drumming background and this makes more sense to me but if I was from a pianist background I would pick the Kontrol. I do have both and I use the mk3 as the main hub and the Kontrol for the pitch and ideas. Hope that helps.

Hi Dave, i have watched your videos over and over again and mastered my Maschine skills. Now i want to use Maschine into Traktor as send effects, how this should be routed im using Xone 96 mixer. Thanks in advance.
Thanks Rndy for watch my videos over and over. Very jealous you have the Xone 96 as it is awesome. So do you want to use the maschine controller to use the effects in Traktor or do you want to use the maschine software alongside Traktor?
Question, so in the first video, you stated that if we wanted to use the MK3s Audio Interface we would need to select “built in” but in this video you say to select MK3. I have my MacBook, the mk3, two 1/4’ male to male TRS, and mackie CR3s. I can’t get sound out of my speakers. What settings need to be changed on my MK3 AND MacBook to make this work?
My apologies for the confusion. If you want to use your mk3 as the interface to your speakers then you need to select the maschine mk3 and ensure the volume is up on the back of the unit. Hope that helps.
Hi Dave when I click on preferences and Audi I don’t see Maschine 2 I see Realtek high definition audio and AMD high definition audio device also I have hp monitor
Hi Clarissa, so you are trying to get the sound routed from your mk3? Ensue the mk3 is plugged in to your PC and and switched on. Then load up Maschine 2 software and you should be able to select it. If you have never seen it then you need make sure you have installed the software and hardware properly. If they don’t show still feel free to send me a message on one of my socials or email with a screenshot or video. Thanks
Great Video! I dont know why, but i dont have any Groups in MASCHINE MK3? :( Any tips whats wrong? Is it a certain Download in Native Access? Maschine 2 Library for example? Thanks!
Dave, I have an MK3 on Windows. I have somehow lost my visual representations on the left screen, for instruments and such. I had them at first but now it's gone. I think it's something I've done. How can I get them back? I still have access to everything just not the visuals.
Hey dave my Maschine 2 software just keeps loading library and on the Mk3 shows on sound 1 next to the bpm a loading sign as well? what do I do to make it stop
in 3:27 you say push load to a kit I do it too and you have a patern on your timeline I push load and there are only the sounds on a list left but not on the timeline why?
I was trying with 8 ball kit from maschine and I was stuck there so not all have pre set patterns thank you so much for the quick response @@DAVEDigitalandVinylExpert
Hi Philip, I have the same bug in mine. Whilst the maschine software is on, turn off your mk3 and then on again and it should work. let me know if that sorts it. Thanks
that's rubbish! I have not heard of that one before. I would contact NI support and in the meantime if you want to send me a little video of the your Access looks like then then your maschine etc. and send it dave@digitalandvinylexpert.com I can take a look to see if I can help.
Hey gang, I'm confused with the simple cable connection for line out. This video shows 1/4" TS plugs, but the manual asks you to use TRS 1/4" cables...? What gives ( and yes I know the difference between the two...) Thanks for the help : )
Hi Robert TS and TRS devices can be connected to the Maschine Mk3 audio interface. The Maschine software will send and receive audio as stereo, where software like Ableton live can use use the inputs and outputs as mono or stereo.
When I turn it on it just shows it lights up and then just shows native instruments in white letters nothing else is I just purchased it , is it broke ?
Hey Dave! Thanks for the awesome tutorials. I can't seem to get my audio to come through... I have the MK3 as the audio device. Does this mean that I need to connect my audio to the MK3 or can I listen through my PC? My apologies as this is probably a simple problem but I can't make music yet :/
Hi Tizoc, thanks for the comments and glad you like the videos. If the MK3 is the only interface and you have it selected, then you can run leads direct from the MK3 straight to the speakers. If you want the sound coming out of your PC then change the audio output to coreaudio or internal. Let me know how you get on :-)
So apparently it's a problem with my headphones... whenever I have my headphones as outputs 3&4, I get clipping and crackling in both speakers and headphone outputs. When I remove the headphones from the available outputs, the sound goes back to normal. Weird. I'll be getting new headphones anyway, hopefully it resolves that issue. Thanks anyway!
Hi again, That doesn't make sense for headphones to affect the speakers. If you want you could send me some screen shots of your preferences to let me have a look at to see if i can save you some money. send to dave@digitalandvinylexpert.com if you want. Thanks
Dave, here is a question, about something that people might run into, like I have.so My MKIII was working fine, but when I went to switch it on today, and I launched the Machine software, the software loaded on the MAC - and the samples and sound worked on the mac, but the screen on the MKII just said( Production and Performance System.) the shift+midi script in the screen was missing and the unit fails to work at all.any help?TaRussell.
Hi Russell, I have a similar problem a lot of the time when I switch on everything the mk3 starts up but is unresponsive. I have to turn the mk3 off and on again whilst the software is running. Does this help for you?
the Xml document was corrupt for the control App this is what happened when tried to reinstall the control.I also noticed that the hard ware was not selectable in the Machine DAW. you have to follow the support file to the letter, and it should repairsee belowsupport.native-instruments.com/hc/en-us/articles/214239865-My-MASCHINE-Controller-Does-Not-Start-Mac-
Hey bro kool video:) was wondering if you can help me out.... What laptop would be good too handle the software nd hardware? Trying too buy a new laptop. What would u recommend for music ?
DAVE Digital and Vinyl Expert like your logo too bro it's dope. & budget I would say around 1,500 - 2,000. & tbh I'm mac & Windows, for me it's whatever works better for music production. I had a ACER but broke down on me. So now i have my mk2 just sitting there not being able to make music... but other than that yeah what would u recommend? & by any chance do you know if i DO get a new LAPTOP, am I able to transfer the same account on the new laptop? All my expansion packs i baught nd stuff? Sorry man for so many questions... NI hasn't responded to me or helped... have a good day man.
+dominic garzon. Thanks love my logo. Going to be selling clothes with that brand soon lol. So this is the requirement you need Mac OS X 10.11 or macOS 10.12 (latest update), Intel Core i5, 2 GB RAM (4 GB recommended) I personally would recommend a Mac as that is what I use and never had any issues at home or live. Tbh I’d buy a pimped second laptop with a guarantee over a new one with less spec. Ideally a 15” MacBook Pro with a quad core and at least the spec above. Mine is a 15” MacBook Pro quadcore with an i7, 1TB hdd and 16gb ram its lasted 4 years so far and never let me down. And yes you can transfer your software and and sounds etc. Just need to down load native access on your new Mac and boom! Lol. Hope this helps.
DAVE Digital and Vinyl Expert bro.... so much love thank you so much man ! 🤘🤘 much love thanks for the help! Your awesome bro have a good day ! Fosures you should make shirts or hoodies that is dopeee logo :)
Hi Donald. I’ll try and help. To make it easier feel free to send an email with a description or even better a little video of what’s happening to dave@digitalandvinylexpert.com and I’ll do my best to get to going.
DAVE Digital and Vinyl Expert I just brought it off a second party (first time having one ) I was able to get it registered but I plug it in and the lights flickered and that’s it.. does the program has to be running in order to power on?
No it should come on straight away. Did the person mention any issues? Maybe run the native access and install software to see if anything else is wrong.
I’ve been trying for days to get a turntable to play through the mk3 and hear it come out of my macbooks interface it only shows sound when I have the mk3 set to mk3 then I don’t get the sound to come out of the laptop but it shows signal . This is driving me insane seriously. I would like to hear both at the same time coming out of my laptops interface . Any help would be appreciated.
Hey Super. So you have your mk3 plugged via usb to your laptop and the have an interface also plugged into your laptop? Then you have cables from the interface going to speakers? So when you have the audio set to your interface, what happens? Feel free to send a little video and/or screenshots to dave@digitalandvinylexpert.com and I will help you bottom this out.
Hi and thanks for your comment. I will be doing a video of this soon but there are a number of different ways. One way is to take your main outs from your mixer and put them straight into the line in on the mk3. Volumes up and hit sampling. You will see the waveform in there. Record and slice up. Like I said a video will be up very soon on this and I’ll send you the link once done. Happy new year.
DAVE Digital and Vinyl Expert - Thank You 🙏 I just bought the MK3 three weeks ago. I just subscribed to your channel. I’m looking forward to going thru the Maschine Journey of Music!
Hi. At the bottom left under the sounds on the software you will see in light grey ‘+pattern’ make that bold and it will add a pattern each time. Hope that helps.
2.40 he clicks on SOUNDS, but I dont see any sounds, just a MASCHIN pictures turns on. Same with SAMPLES. But im sure I downloaded everything...what can it be?
Hi thanks for the comment. When you press the browser button it will show all your ‘packs’ but if you didn’t buy any of the additional one then you will on see the Maschine icon. Don’t worry as there’s loads of cool kits and sounds on there. If you need anything else then don’t hesitate to reply. Hope that helps.
I just a MK3, and when I go to browser, the only thing that shows up is Massive. I downloaded all the instruments that come with it but none of the other stuff is showing up? Has this happened to anyone else?
+therush420 Well the easiest way to remove all the preset stuff is click on the arrange window, then select all ‘command and A’ and hit delete. You could also select the pattern then click shift and clear (9). Hope that helps
When i delete everything in the arrange window, it's not resetting the main knobs ie tune, decay, bend etc. Is there a way to reset them all at once or do i have to manually do it? Bc at 440 in your video it looks like they reset
+BAFFTM hi and thanks for the support. It won’t remove the tune, delay etc. because that’s how the sounds are set up. You can of course change them manually but if you don’t want anything then you can remove the whole sound/group and it will remove everything. Hope this helps.
@@DAVEDigitalandVinylExpert Yea I got the plugins going thanks . I dont have output sound yet . Can I use my built in sound card on pc ? i dont have monitors yet
+c-f-productions.com hi CF thanks for the comments. I assume you mean add another bar. Just hold down pattern and turn the rotary where it says length and make it as many bars as you wish. If you want to copy the entire bar to the next then you could just hold shift and press duplicate. I’ll be covering these buttons in part 5 of my video.
before i do subscribe to your video can you show the same process with windows version and with hardware setup with midi keyboard,machine mk3 and ableton push 2 please i need your help how you connect all of these in one computer windows.
Hi Dennis, I do not have Windows, but the install parts are the same. Apart from the drivers needed again it's similar, but I do teach this and happy to do a 1-2-1 with you if you wish. :-) calendly.com/digitalandvinylexpert www.native-instruments.com/en/specials/2020/certified-native-specialists/
Hey thanks for all the messages and checking out my videos. When you buy the Maschine you get the software and a large library of sounds. Sorry for not making that clear. However you can add to them and buy more if you want.
@@DAVEDigitalandVinylExpert Thank you. So in a way I had think it was dance ejay on the PlayStation. That kind of thing but obviously Alot more tech... But I can build tracks in the same relative way.
That’s weird I’ve never heard of that. I’d be intrigued to see it. If you want you are welcome to add me on one of my social sites and send a vid of you trying it. Out of interest are you definitely holding shift when pressing quantise?
DAVE Digital and Vinyl Expert i think i figured it out - i was expecting a significant move or something or maybe it already quantised without me realising ! Still learning - got it yesterday haha
Hi Will, I got your message thank you and I have just sent a reply but it says the email address you gave is incorrect. Would you please send me the address again please.

Hi Dave, how to you get "kits" in the "groups" section? Groups, sounds, and effects are all empty.
Hi Dajae,
In groups there should automatically be kits in there. I assume yours are not. What is showing then?
if you could only buy one would you get the mk3 or the komplete kontrol 49k keyboard at same price??
Great question. I personally would buy the mk3 because I come from a drumming background and this makes more sense to me but if I was from a pianist background I would pick the Kontrol. I do have both and I use the mk3 as the main hub and the Kontrol for the pitch and ideas.

Hi Dave when I click on preferences and Audi I don’t see Maschine 2 I see Realtek high definition audio and AMD high definition audio device also I have hp monitor
Hi Clarissa, so you are trying to get the sound routed from your mk3? Ensue the mk3 is plugged in to your PC and and switched on. Then load up Maschine 2 software and you should be able to select it. If you have never seen it then you need make sure you have installed the software and hardware properly. If they don’t show still feel free to send me a message on one of my socials or email with a screenshot or video. Thanks
Great Video! I dont know why, but i dont have any Groups in MASCHINE MK3? :( Any tips whats wrong? Is it a certain Download in Native Access? Maschine 2 Library for example?
Thanks!
Thanks Errol. You have to purchase them separately 😞
Dave, I have an MK3 on Windows. I have somehow lost my visual representations on the left screen, for instruments and such. I had them at first but now it's gone. I think it's something I've done. How can I get them back? I still have access to everything just not the visuals.
Hi Mike can you send me a screenshot to Dave@digitalandvinylexpert.com and hopefully I can help.
Hey dave my Maschine 2 software just keeps loading library and on the Mk3 shows on sound 1 next to the bpm a loading sign as well? what do I do to make it stop
Hi Jose
Oh no that’s rubbish.
Please email me at dave@digitalandvinylexpert.com with screen shots and let’s see if I can help.
in 3:27 you say push load to a kit I do it too and you have a patern on your timeline I push load and there are only the sounds on a list left but not on the timeline why?
Hi, it loads a pre set pattern, but not all of them do so you maybe loading a different group to myself. Hope that helps.
I was trying with 8 ball kit from maschine and I was stuck there so not all have pre set patterns thank you so much for the quick response @@DAVEDigitalandVinylExpert
Anytime Sub 😊
sub bassline - I had the same question too. It was driving me nuts!
Hey Dave. When I click on browser and plugin key nothing happens.
Hi Philip, I have the same bug in mine. Whilst the maschine software is on, turn off your mk3 and then on again and it should work.
let me know if that sorts it. Thanks
Its showing no results even though I have already downloaded everything in native access program
that's rubbish! I have not heard of that one before. I would contact NI support and in the meantime if you want to send me a little video of the your Access looks like then then your maschine etc. and send it dave@digitalandvinylexpert.com I can take a look to see if I can help.
What if I dont have speaker and headphone. Can I just use my laptop speaker? without any line plug-in, just USB
Yep 💯
@@DAVEDigitalandVinylExpert How do i set it up? on the software part
Soz should have said. Go to preferences and audio and choose your internal sound card.
@@DAVEDigitalandVinylExpert Do i need to install ASIO? or just use my laptop soundcard driver?
Just laptop sound card should be fine
Hey gang, I'm confused with the simple cable connection for line out. This video shows 1/4" TS plugs, but the manual asks you to use TRS 1/4" cables...? What gives ( and yes I know the difference between the two...) Thanks for the help : )
Hi Robert
TS and TRS devices can be connected to the Maschine Mk3 audio interface. The Maschine software will send and receive audio as stereo, where software like Ableton live can use use the inputs and outputs as mono or stereo.
When I turn it on it just shows it lights up and then just shows native instruments in white letters nothing else is I just purchased it , is it broke ?
Hey Dave! Thanks for the awesome tutorials. I can't seem to get my audio to come through... I have the MK3 as the audio device. Does this mean that I need to connect my audio to the MK3 or can I listen through my PC? My apologies as this is probably a simple problem but I can't make music yet :/
Hi Tizoc, thanks for the comments and glad you like the videos. If the MK3 is the only interface and you have it selected, then you can run leads direct from the MK3 straight to the speakers. If you want the sound coming out of your PC then change the audio output to coreaudio or internal. Let me know how you get on :-)
Nice I got it to work! Although I there is some clipping going on, how can I reduce it?
Turn down the volume of maschine at the top right of the screen.
So apparently it's a problem with my headphones... whenever I have my headphones as outputs 3&4, I get clipping and crackling in both speakers and headphone outputs. When I remove the headphones from the available outputs, the sound goes back to normal. Weird. I'll be getting new headphones anyway, hopefully it resolves that issue. Thanks anyway!
Hi again,
That doesn't make sense for headphones to affect the speakers. If you want you could send me some screen shots of your preferences to let me have a look at to see if i can save you some money. send to dave@digitalandvinylexpert.com if you want. Thanks
When I go to Machine Libary I see packs, they are all inderlit so I can't click on them, I see them but can't select sample sound?
Is it all packs?
Dave, here is a question, about something that people might run into, like I have.so My MKIII was working fine, but when I went to switch it on today, and I launched the Machine software, the software loaded on the MAC - and the samples and sound worked on the mac, but the screen on the MKII just said( Production and Performance System.) the shift+midi script in the screen was missing and the unit fails to work at all.any help?TaRussell.
Hi Russell, I have a similar problem a lot of the time when I switch on everything the mk3 starts up but is unresponsive. I have to turn the mk3 off and on again whilst the software is running. Does this help for you?
the Xml document was corrupt for the control App this is what happened when tried to reinstall the control.I also noticed that the hard ware was not selectable in the Machine DAW. you have to follow the support file to the letter, and it should repairsee belowsupport.native-instruments.com/hc/en-us/articles/214239865-My-MASCHINE-Controller-Does-Not-Start-Mac-
Great work Russell. Thanks
Hey I ran into a problem where none of my drivers have machine mk3 when I hit device’s
Hey bro kool video:) was wondering if you can help me out.... What laptop would be good too handle the software nd hardware? Trying too buy a new laptop. What would u recommend for music ?
+dominic garzon. Hey. Happy to help. Just need to know if you’re a Mac man or a windows kinda guy, and also your budget.
DAVE Digital and Vinyl Expert like your logo too bro it's dope. & budget I would say around 1,500 - 2,000. & tbh I'm mac & Windows, for me it's whatever works better for music production. I had a ACER but broke down on me. So now i have my mk2 just sitting there not being able to make music... but other than that yeah what would u recommend? & by any chance do you know if i DO get a new LAPTOP, am I able to transfer the same account on the new laptop? All my expansion packs i baught nd stuff? Sorry man for so many questions... NI hasn't responded to me or helped... have a good day man.
+dominic garzon. Thanks love my logo. Going to be selling clothes with that brand soon lol.
So this is the requirement you need Mac OS X 10.11 or macOS 10.12 (latest update), Intel Core i5, 2 GB RAM (4 GB recommended)
I personally would recommend a Mac as that is what I use and never had any issues at home or live.
Tbh I’d buy a pimped second laptop with a guarantee over a new one with less spec. Ideally a 15” MacBook Pro with a quad core and at least the spec above.
Mine is a 15” MacBook Pro quadcore with an i7, 1TB hdd and 16gb ram its lasted 4 years so far and never let me down. And yes you can transfer your software and and sounds etc. Just need to down load native access on your new Mac and boom! Lol. Hope this helps.
DAVE Digital and Vinyl Expert bro.... so much love thank you so much man ! 🤘🤘 much love thanks for the help! Your awesome bro have a good day ! Fosures you should make shirts or hoodies that is dopeee logo :)
No worries mate. Happy to help and thanks for the kind words. 😊
hey there i got the MK3 when i install it all has MK2 not 3 so what is the dealeo on this one any way cheers be safe thanks for video
Hey Aezon.
Do you mean when you’re in native access it says maschine 2?
If so that is correct as that is the software. The Mk3 is the hardware :-)
I can’t seem to get mines to turn on is there something I’m doing wrong or do I need to download something
Hi Donald. I’ll try and help. To make it easier feel free to send an email with a description or even better a little video of what’s happening to dave@digitalandvinylexpert.com and I’ll do my best to get to going.
DAVE Digital and Vinyl Expert I just brought it off a second party (first time having one ) I was able to get it registered but I plug it in and the lights flickered and that’s it.. does the program has to be running in order to power on?
No it should come on straight away. Did the person mention any issues? Maybe run the native access and install software to see if anything else is wrong.
cool video, but when I load my kit is only asign it to the pads but no midi song when I press play :/
Thanks. Did you install everything on native access?
If you have then bottom left you will see ‘patterns’ under the samples. Click that then it will load a demo.
I’ve been trying for days to get a turntable to play through the mk3 and hear it come out of my macbooks interface it only shows sound when I have the mk3 set to mk3 then I don’t get the sound to come out of the laptop but it shows signal . This is driving me insane seriously. I would like to hear both at the same time coming out of my laptops interface . Any help would be appreciated.
Hey Super. So you have your mk3 plugged via usb to your laptop and the have an interface also plugged into your laptop? Then you have cables from the interface going to speakers?
So when you have the audio set to your interface, what happens?
Feel free to send a little video and/or screenshots to dave@digitalandvinylexpert.com and I will help you bottom this out.
Ok I’ll send a vid today after work
I just decided to use mk3’s soundcard and now it’s doing what I need it to 🤘🏼
Well if you need any future help then don’t hesitate to contact me.
how do you get sound from pad mode? it looks like its playing but I'm only getting audio from this video
Sorry for delay. Are you still having issues?
Jebus, it seems to be installing everything BUT MASCHINE 2? It keeps skipping over it to the next install, that's not weird at all
How do you get the maschine software? It’s not already in the fkn box?
How do I connect my turntables so I can sample from records?
Hi and thanks for your comment. I will be doing a video of this soon but there are a number of different ways. One way is to take your main outs from your mixer and put them straight into the line in on the mk3. Volumes up and hit sampling. You will see the waveform in there. Record and slice up. Like I said a video will be up very soon on this and I’ll send you the link once done. Happy new year.
Thanks!
You’re welcome
DAVE Digital and Vinyl Expert - Thank You 🙏
I just bought the MK3 three weeks ago. I just subscribed to your channel. I’m looking forward to going thru the Maschine Journey of Music!
How do you record the MK3 using a DAW?
Hi Talan, when you say record mk3 using a daw, do you mean using the mk3 as a controller in a daw or playing the sounds from maschine into a daw?
DAVE Digital and Vinyl Expert as a controller, but I figured it out, thanks!
Help! How do you activate your headphones? I want to hear everything through my headphones, not the computer..
Hi, Shame you are having some issues. Are your headphones in the back of the maschine? and is your audio set up to maschine in the software?
Did you get this sorted?
How do you sample a mp3 on your computer also how do you sample from TH-cam on Apple mac
+c-f-productions.com thanks for the question. I will be covering this soon on this channel after completing the overview of the hardware.
when i load a "group" there is no pattern that loads up. do you know why?
Hi. At the bottom left under the sounds on the software you will see in light grey ‘+pattern’ make that bold and it will add a pattern each time.
Hope that helps.
absolutely did thank you
Great 😊
what kind of jacks are those?
Normal 1/4 inch male to male jack (TRS) leads.
2.40 he clicks on SOUNDS, but I dont see any sounds, just a MASCHIN pictures turns on. Same with SAMPLES. But im sure I downloaded everything...what can it be?
Hi thanks for the comment. When you press the browser button it will show all your ‘packs’ but if you didn’t buy any of the additional one then you will on see the Maschine icon. Don’t worry as there’s loads of cool kits and sounds on there. If you need anything else then don’t hesitate to reply. Hope that helps.
I just a MK3, and when I go to browser, the only thing that shows up is Massive. I downloaded all the instruments that come with it but none of the other stuff is showing up? Has this happened to anyone else?
Hi. Soz that is weird. Have you tried reinstalling? I know it’s long but worth a go.
DAVE Digital and Vinyl Expert thanks for the response. I actually figured it out soon after I posted the question. I just had to rescan.
Fantastic! Well happy producing 😊
at 4:40 what did you click to delete everything?
+therush420 Well the easiest way to remove all the preset stuff is click on the arrange window, then select all ‘command and A’ and hit delete.
You could also select the pattern then click shift and clear (9). Hope that helps
th-cam.com/video/PHlOSzRAOVU/w-d-xo.html
When i delete everything in the arrange window, it's not resetting the main knobs ie tune, decay, bend etc. Is there a way to reset them all at once or do i have to manually do it? Bc at 440 in your video it looks like they reset
+BAFFTM hi and thanks for the support. It won’t remove the tune, delay etc. because that’s how the sounds are set up. You can of course change them manually but if you don’t want anything then you can remove the whole sound/group and it will remove everything. Hope this helps.
How do I switch the board on ??
There is a power button back left.
and your software was in you computer by itself .... cuz that is what I could not figure out how to dl it
+Vilmos Horvath hi. Did you see my first video on how to download it with native access?
Hi Dave When I click on browser plugin I dont get sounds ?
Do you mean when you scroll and select a sound. At the bottom of the screen you will see a sample play button to select. Shout if you get stuck.
@@DAVEDigitalandVinylExpert Yea I got the plugins going thanks . I dont have output sound yet . Can I use my built in sound card on pc ? i dont have monitors yet
@@DAVEDigitalandVinylExpert I was able to get the sounds installed . Can I use my computer speaker? I don’t have monitors yet ?

How do you make a beat to be longer like for a song
+c-f-productions.com hi CF thanks for the comments. I assume you mean add another bar. Just hold down pattern and turn the rotary where it says length and make it as many bars as you wish. If you want to copy the entire bar to the next then you could just hold shift and press duplicate.
I’ll be covering these buttons in part 5 of my video.
DAVE Digital and Vinyl Expert great thank you I'm new to this mk3 so I'm still learning. I'll be here for your post keep up the good work God bless.
before i do subscribe to your video
can you show the same process
with windows version
and with hardware setup with midi keyboard,machine mk3 and ableton push 2 please i need your help
how you connect all of these in one computer windows.
Hi Dennis,
I do not have Windows, but the install parts are the same.
Apart from the drivers needed again it's similar, but I do teach this and happy to do a 1-2-1 with you if you wish. :-)

@@DAVEDigitalandVinylExpert i subscribed to your video thanks for replying.but this video helped me a little.
You have to buy the sounds?
Hey thanks for all the messages and checking out my videos. When you buy the Maschine you get the software and a large library of sounds. Sorry for not making that clear.
However you can add to them and buy more if you want.
@@DAVEDigitalandVinylExpert Thank you.
So in a way I had think it was dance ejay on the PlayStation.
That kind of thing but obviously Alot more tech... But I can build tracks in the same relative way.
By the way Clarkee dreamscape took me back a bit... Great mix 👍
Yes! I was the MTV music generator 2 kinda guy lol
My one doesnt quantize?
That’s weird I’ve never heard of that. I’d be intrigued to see it. If you want you are welcome to add me on one of my social sites and send a vid of you trying it. Out of interest are you definitely holding shift when pressing quantise?
DAVE Digital and Vinyl Expert i think i figured it out - i was expecting a significant move or something or maybe it already quantised without me realising ! Still learning - got it yesterday haha
Maybe you’re a human metronome and 100% on the beat! 😊 glad you got it sorted.
DAVE Digital and Vinyl Expert haha lets hope so!
Hi Will, I got your message thank you and I have just sent a reply but it says the email address you gave is incorrect. Would you please send me the address again please.

Hi Exotic, what are you trying to delete?
So I will need a laptop... I have a PC but no Ethernet to use it Just yet
Hi Liz
You will for the mk3 but the new one is standalone. Also it’s just usb not Ethernet
the length of this video is how much the maschine cost.
659?
