I’m an Ableton user for composition but use Traktor for performance. Not really played with Maschine much but this looks great, so definitely going to invest in the software and probably a controller.
I don't have Maschine, but interested in Traktor techniques I thought I'd give this a watch. Blow me, you can do this with Ableton too! Drag & Drop an audio clip straight from Live into a deck in Traktor. Sweet! Thanks for the inspiration Dave!
That sounds cool I'm going to try this. I want to input my own sounds in real time/live then scratch them using controller/dvs. This method might work for it I think?
can I combine the Akai MPC one and maschine mk3 together makes it a power house ---- MPC one for as your main station for drums and you can use the Maschine Mk3 for sampling, leads ,chords, atmospheres etc!
Je vois que ça discute et échanges pas mal d'info sur ta chaîne, alors je m'abonne pour découvrir le reste de ton contenue. Merci, et merci à la communauté.
It seems like the best usage of this would be to have a song base in traktor along with some of the special tramsitions so you can get more complex transitions as well as keep the music going while maschine is swapping out projects.
Ive seen some other videos matching the Maschine Mk3 with the new Traktor X1, what are your thoughts on X1 Mk3 with Maschine vs the F1? Im looking to build a hybrid DJ setup without jog wheel.
Hi Dave, liked your series here a lot =) I'd love to see a Maschine video on Ableton intergration. I've been playing with Ableton and Push2 for a couple years and I'm pretty ok with it, I'm starting to know my way around in Maschine (I've learned some good stuff watching your series!), but establishing a good workflow in Ableton is taking up most of my time. I've set up individual tracks in Abes for each pad on Maschine and have worked out a way to drag and drop midi... but working with the Control Editor and trying to figure out templates and trying to get all my controls on Maschine working in Live is driving me insane!
Thanks again Michelle. You may have seen this video but might give you some ideas th-cam.com/video/0Z1H5nXMgts/w-d-xo.html I personally run my Ableton and maschine software separate at the same time and flick between them. Creating some ideas on the mk3 then dragging them as audio in Ableton. You could look at using the mk3 as a controller in Ableton but you have the push so it’s far superior in the daw. If you want you can email me at dave@digitalandvinylexpert.com and chat more about ideas and if you would like a lesson to run through things and give you more ways to go. Thanks
Hi Mike thanks for your comments. If you check out this video it’ll show you native access and a bit about Maschine. Shout if you need anything else. th-cam.com/video/9DFAZOUE1uw/w-d-xo.html
@@DAVEDigitalandVinylExpert thx dave. Always wanted to add flavor to my dj sets creating or adding loops via remix deck on traktor. The maschine way looks awesome. Now looking in getting a used maschine mk2 or a studio version. I have a micro mk2 but how does one start like a complete newbie video would certainly help some of us old dogs in the game. The old ones that never caught up. Lol
Never too old :-) I have a series of Maschine mk3 and remix decks if you are interested. Check out my playlists. Feel free to ask any questions you need.
can traktor play with maschine in real time? say can i link them and play sounds quantised with the music from the decks? i fancy adding machine to my kontrol s2 (which will be upgraded to s8 or s4 soon)
Hello Dave, nice tutorial and good informations, as always via your channel ;) Got two questions: 1. Is it possible to controll the steps of Drag & drop from mk to Traktor only via the hardware ( I‘ve noticed that you used the mouse pretty much & think it would be much better without beeing forced to use a laptop screen )? So can everything be controlled via hardware only? 2. I‘m working with Maschine software and noticed the cpu glitching ( i‘ve set up my Mac as good as possible and know the drill;) ,but we all know that Maschine software isn‘t the best choice when it comes to composing layer after layer of sounds;) How does Traktor work? Does it have any performance glitches as well, or do you recommend Traktor as live software ? I‘m thinking of buying Traktor and hope, that there won‘t be any cpu glitches when it comes to playing the more complex sounds and layers! I do use Logic as main DAW, of course! But I‘m still in search of the perfect live performance software! Keep up the good work & cheers :)
Hi James, glad this had helped and thanks for the questions. Question 1 is unfortunately not that I am aware of as you are drag from one program to another so the mouse is essential. 2. Check your buffer size to help with cpu usage. As you know logic has a tendency to lag and crash as well. I’ve never had any issue with traktor myself and my set up is traktor, maschine and ableton for live. Hope that helps.
Hi Dave! I have a remix set with diferent sounds. The problem is that while im djing and harmonic mixing changing the key, my sounds wont fit with it as they are on a diferent key. How can I solve it? Thanks a lot mate
Yo dude. So you need to make sure the key lock is on all cells and you have the screen in advanced mode (or use the F1) and you can change the pitch. Boom 💥 Check out this th-cam.com/video/0cfka83haFE/w-d-xo.html
So whats the best way to link maschine and traktor? Still having issues routing the audio. I got it to work a bit but have to push the gain on both machine and traktor for proper levels. Any advice?
@@DAVEDigitalandVinylExpert I finally figured the routing and levels out. Everything seems to be working fine. I really appreciate all the help and all the great videos!
Hi Davide, thanks for the comment. You can do this using Serato instead of Traktor. The only way I can find to make it work perfectly is to use the flip record mode with it. I can do this on a TH-cam video if that’s of interest. Thanks.
Hey Dave, could you do some maschine 2, song arrangement because I know how to do it, just want to add fx n build ups plus drum fills with scenes before my drop patterns, I find scene system a bit limited there, I wonder if you could clear that up in future video cheers mate nice 1
DAVE Digital and Vinyl Expert ...The audio. It’s one of those pitch sliding basses..it probably only recognises files with very defined transients..but what if you want to add efx to your rmx set then?
Couldn't you just sample a note and run it through the F1 sequencer in Traktor, and then make your patterns there? Wouldn't that give you more flexibility than just pre-making the loops in Maschine, and importing the loops into Traktor?
You could indeed and it would be great in step sequencer or different pitches in remix decks. I think using maschine alongside traktor gives you way more possibilities and you could make a longer loop and put it in a remix deck and change the length using the F1 as well. Basically there’s loads of ways of doing it. Whatever works for people. :-)
Hi Torres You don’t need another software but if you are seriously going to go into then you will want to go into a DAW at some point. There are lots to choose from. I personally use Ableton and Logic.
DAVE Digital and Vinyl Expert Thanks for replying Dave so I can still use the device without any other software right ? Am I gonna be able to create, save and maybe sell beats with the software included? sorry but im a little to newbie into music production

This is 🔥! Thanks!
Fantastic. Thank you.

Thank you very much I had been looking for a long time to learn how to work with maschine and traktor in that way and now you have helped me a lot
You are welcome!
Très sympa cette petite astuce, moi qui adore jouer avec la F1 en Remix deck, je vais pouvoir intégrer de nouvelles choses ✌️
Excellent!!! Love your Videos!!! You got me hocked Kontrol F1 and S8. I wish you had a video on Maschine Jam!!❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉
Thank you. I have the Jam and I am still working out to best utilise it. Do you have any ideas?
Hey D.A.V.E. could you please tell me why a 4 bars loop in MASCHINE is 16 in TRAKTOR ..? Thank u so much for your videos !!! Love it !
Great question. Traktor has it in beats not bars. So 16 beats in a 4/4 song is 4 bars. I had to brush up on my 4 times table 😉
Nice tutorial as always Dave. Thanks
Thank you 😊
Thanks for sharing!
I don't have Maschine, but interested in Traktor techniques I thought I'd give this a watch. Blow me, you can do this with Ableton too!
Drag & Drop an audio clip straight from Live into a deck in Traktor. Sweet! Thanks for the inspiration Dave!
Thanks Sapir for the kind words. I actually did a video last week for ADSR brining stuff from Ableton into traktor. So much fun. :-)

Absolutely! I just wanted to show what’s possible but very good point.
Great stuff does maschine need a software
Awesome
🖤🔥🎼😊
could the mk1 be used similarly?
Thank you you’re the best 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Lol thanks 😊
I wonder if you could use traktor standalone with Maschine Plus
Ive seen some other videos matching the Maschine Mk3 with the new Traktor X1, what are your thoughts on X1 Mk3 with Maschine vs the F1? Im looking to build a hybrid DJ setup without jog wheel.
I think it’s a great idea. I personally love faders so the F1 can accommodate that, but it’s all preference. Let me know what you pick :-)

Nice video! are you still going to explain the buttons above at the left side?
Hi thibo
Lol yes that’s my next video coming out next month. Been major busy but that will finish it off nicely.
Cool info, thanks! I am looking for some way to play my beats and I will definately check it out.
Can I ask is this all I would need to make my own tracks?
Where do all the sounds come from?
Excuse me for being a compete absolutele novice
How exactly did you start the whole thing.
????
Where does one get the sounds in order to Play them on pads?

Hey dude what model of maschine are you using I can’t find the one with the faders anywhere
It’s the Maschine mk3 and the unit with the faders is the F1
DAVE Digital and Vinyl Expert thanks bro

Hi
Yes it can. The link works super well and you can even play ableton live in sync as well
nice touch.... too bad Maschine software doen't come with Komplete Keyboard!! Imagine what delight!
Thanks Benoit. Lol definitely

I use the link button to sync them and then you run them both physically into an interface or if you have loopback then that would work great.
@@DAVEDigitalandVinylExpert I finally figured the routing and levels out. Everything seems to be working fine. I really appreciate all the help and all the great videos!
Does it works also with serato?

Sure I can add that to my list.
I can’t import my basslines into Traktor. I get a message saying that it could not find transient data..
You moving over the midi or audio?

Hi! can anyone tell me if I need some other software like FL or Ableton in order to use Maschine (create beats,music) ?
Hi Torres
You don’t need another software but if you are seriously going to go into then you will want to go into a DAW at some point. There are lots to choose from. I personally use Ableton and Logic.

Not a problem. Yes you will be able to achieve what you want just by using the maschine software.
DAVE Digital and Vinyl Expert Thank you so much for your time Dave new subscriber right here ty!
Very kind. Thank you 😊
