I don't know if I missed this but when you resample the amen break, you can scroll to the right in the record menu and have recording mode set to sync and pick how many bars you want. This way you will not need to edit the sample to get a perfect loop. It will do it for you.
Thanks David, yes I should have mentioned this. It’s the best way for resampling rhythmic material that you need to be precise. I think I skipped it as I sample a lot of external audio so it’s set to manual the majority of the time.
I bought a Plus and I will say that it is daunting! It took a month to get the light bulb in my head to switch on. It all seemed so overwhelming…..then IT WASNT! You helped me really get my clutter cleaned up! I can see SO MANY OPPORTUNITIES FOR LICE PERFORMANCES! I’ve not integrated with my Mac Pro…..I want to get my motor memory established. Thank you for your videos
fantastic video and tutorial. your patience and attention to detail covering all of the different features is really appreciated. thank you for sharing this!
Yeah there’s a big divide it seems with how people take to one over the other. Ive sold mine since as I didn’t like the file management and how it handled large audio files, but there’s certainly lots to live about it. Sounds amazing and the effects are excellent.
Another great video, educational and very transparent in regards to the features throughout the whole session. A must watch for anyone who has Maschine + or who is possibly considering buying one. 😊👍
@@jeanbeezy It certainly is. I think the cpu going through the roof when using the cut down versions of NI VSTi’s didn’t help its reputation. It should have been promoted as a resampler as that is where its real power is. Hopefully it’ll get updated soon following MPC 3.
@@TUBEDIGGA ... for exactly that reason, i bought it like 2 years after the initial release, when it was considered as stable, which i would say it is now. NI actually announced 3.0 in their forums for later this year - lets see if it really happens. i do hope they keep the core workflow.
@@TUBEDIGGA one of the reasons why i bought it like 2 years after the initial release. im almost certain they will release new hardware along maschine 3.0 (confirmed by NI in their forum). i do hope they keep the core workflow and just add or improve things. what i like about NI's approach to hardware is, that they actually want to create an instrument that is enjoyable to play. they care about the layout, the buttons, how it feels etc. you dont get that from a lot of companys anymore.
Really good bit of kit, needs a few tweaks though. GUI's needing updating so can see the adsr envelopes and not the tacky mini plugin logo. A seperate assignable lfo. Midi clip import would be nice from SD card. Minor-ish things... Great Vid again @tubedigga ❤️
Listen @Pioneer @Toraiz: This could have been your SP-16 how it should be!!! @Tubedigga: nice video! i own this baybe since yesterday and already love the maschine
I feel like as a modern standalone sampler this thing is probably best on the market right now. That grain stretch automation moment makes me not want to think about Octatrack for mangling samples.
This is great help great tips! I think the problem with the M+ is too many people were expecting and comparimg it to a DAW and not realizing its a really powrful groovebox.
I’ve just reordered one after selling it a year or so ago. It’s one of the best resamplers out there. It’s effects and synths are excellent at generating sound, you just have to get good at recognising what to capture from them and bake them down as samples. Then the cpu isn’t an issue.
The auto sampler is a gamechanger - Now I can go into "contoller mode" and use non Maschine+ instruments, autosample them into the Mascine+ - not only can you get thm in now, but they will be considerably less taxing on the CPU :)@@TUBEDIGGA
Best feature is build quality, especially encoders. If I didn't already bought Mk3 than upgrade Komplete I would definitely but this + version and just to add that all Maschine product missing special feature that unable to costumise Pads to play Chords of your choice/ "Costume Chords to Pads" 😉
Really great video. Very well put together, and a lot of great info shown here! Love my M+. So quick and easy to use. (and really quick sampling if you compare it to old MPC models like the 2000xl, that's what I moved from!)
Awesome video! Trying to figure out of its possible to export stems with performance effects? I arranged a few songs in maschine and now want to mix them in logic. The only problem is with some automations that include performance effects. It seems I would have to export the master to keep the effects as is.
Thanks for the vid bro! Question : do you know if it's possible to move an event within the group grid? Similar to using the pitch knob in the piano roll but on the group grid. I chop breaks into 16s on a dedicated group so I can process each hit. So naturally in the software it's as easy with a mouse to add variation and stutter. So far I can't see a means of moving hits up or down just l/r. Am I missing something?
No but you can use the STEP SEQUENCER and enter specific percentage values for the start parameter. I did it the other day on a breakbeat and basically divided 100 by 16 which is 6.25, so I set the start point of pad 2 onwards in increments of 6.25 (so pad 3 was 13, pad 4 was 19.25 etc). You just press the pad relating to the step and adjust the start point parameter to set the value..
Very good, the effects definitely have some extra punch, the filter per pad can be set to EQ mode which gives your sounds some great clarity, definition and separation. The workflow is very different from the MPC so I’m not half as quick on it when it comes to sequencing but when it clicks I think it’ll be a very powerful device. Not as loud as the MPC but I think that’s on purpose to make room for the effects, which as said can really make your mix come alive. The transient shaper is excellent.
@@TUBEDIGGA Cool.That was a concern,i know the MPC is pretty loud.Raw.Which is good generally.But i like what your doing with the samples here in Maschine.Very clear but punchy too.Refined.
@@TUBEDIGGA Great vid! I was wondering if you could share a bit more vision on the output levels of the MPC live vs the Maschine+. Is it really softer or does the output of the M+ just have a bit of headroom for the effects. Having a dry shootout, does the MPC live really adds some extra character on its output? Also when summing all the sounds in the groups for example, do you notice a difference in 'glue' of some sort that's different?
@@jellebolijnlive The answer your your first question is above, yes it seems to me at least that the MPC is louder from the get go, and the Maschine is quieter to accommodate the effects which are powerful. Your last question is a good one, id say the effects on Maschine help glue the sounds together better, particularly the EQ insert effect and the transient. The MPC takes a bit more tweaking to achieve a glued together sound. Overall I prefer the workflow of MPC and can finish more tracks but that may be just because I have much more experience with them.
Just got this yesterday and very happy so far....Can really do the edits i need no problem.Lots and lots of potential and had done away with the need for some other boxed for now.Just keeping an eye on the CPU !!!!!!But tbh with resampling that should not be much of a problem.Very streamlined workflow/interface too.Thanx for the videos!!!!
Tubedigga, I'm sure people have asked this 1000 times but one more time, if you had to choose between the mashine + and MPC X, which would you buy? Or what's the best buy? I'm in the market for one but I'm fairly new to the game. Let me know bro.
Keep an eye out for my Maschine Plus Course - go to my website and sign up for updates, should be available by the end of November 21. www.tubedigga.com 👍
how did you get back to group 1 around 14 21 and program the amen pattern without chops on the pads in pad mode? i was with you until that point and after. some great tips, thanks
The effects are better quality but there’s less of them. The chopping and automation is also very good. I have an online course for Maschine Plus if you’re interested: courses.tubedigga.com/maschine-plus-video-manual
I think I prefer the MPC One pads for finger drumming (even over the MPC X) but the material and quality of the Maschine pads are better. But over time who knows how either will stand up, but Maschine seems very well made overall.
@@TUBEDIGGA hi there, Ive had the MK2 for about 7-8 years now and one of the pad triggers automatically when i hit another pad close to it. Can send it to native instruments though, they said they will check it out. But i thought it was a shame, even though 8 years is pretty long considering the usage i had on it
Hmm, interesting "machine" 😊 I like to play instruments, and therefore create realistic sounding instrument i can enjoy. A process that have worked out.... somewhat okay, but not to satisfaction. Maybe i need my self to finally buy some Tube Digger courses. The audio quality of the MPC have so far not really been to my full happiness, so i wonder how Machine+ stacks up from the point of realistic sounding instruments (drums, bas, guitarr, rhodes etc). As a Patrion, do you do realistic sounding instrument banks or is it just like 99% of the Akai libraries, because thats the thing with it, launches or synthts only. Im at the point that i would kill for realistic instruments on ny MPC Live. I get a lof music created with the Live, its a machine for many situations in life to be creative and write songs, being on battery and all, i just wish i could get more out of it so i dont need to rebuild songs on the PC with "real plugins".

Can you step automate the start points, as in plock style to get more defined increments ?
