Dude, thanks for this tutorial. I can't thank you enough. I 9 minutes you made me learn what I didn't learn by myself in basically 2 days. Seriously. This Maschine software is insanely complex. I hate they tried to create a freaking DAW rather than just relying on what everybody uses. thanks!
Thank you so much for making this! I recently got the Mikro hardware for my birthday but I normally use Logic, so it's great to know how to integrate the two!
I know this is an old video but it helped me a lot just recently bought myself a maschine mikro mk3. Just one suggestion, if the volume on your vocals could be turned up that would be awesome haha. thanks for this video bro bro really appreciate it!
Not sure if this has been mentioned but you just use Maschine 2 by itself then export all the audio. Everything will be separate including the drums, then you can mix it properly. You don't want to mix all the drums together.
yes can you make a tutorial on using both maschine mikro mk3 and logic (basic set up and recording) please thank you . I'm bout to actually upgrade to mk3 from mk2 mikro
I'm actually not on Mac anymore and I own the full MK3 now instead of the Mikro so I don't think I'll be able to make the video you requested. I'm sorry about that!
@@somestreetphotos There is a little icon next to the audio file icon, which is the midi icon. So yes you can, but I think you would need to create separate groups for each instrument
Yes you can. Stefan Guy published a video tutorial on using the Machine w/ Logic. And his tutorial, he showed how to use the machine micro MK three with logic pro. He showed how to export the media data to their own individual tracks and then call of the sounds from machine plug-in in logic pro. It’s pretty dope. I mostly prefer to use this option also or method also so that I can have more control over everything
3STEEZ I’m desperately looking for such a tutorial. Maschine needs to be useful outside mashing plug in. Anybody with a video like that pls tag a link . Thanks
Is there a benefit to using NI hardware and Mashine over say, any MIDI pad controller and Battery or any drum synth ? It seems like more middle steps to disrupt creative flow
How do you organize kit elements for export though? As in kick on audio track 1, Snare on audio track 2, snare on audio track 3 etc etc? Would make it difficult to mix otherwise I think. I'm sure there is a perfectly good workflow to cater to this but it isn't obvious on first look.
Scott after composing a tune using your method, could I then mix and then have the whole tune mastered even though the mikro mk3 tracks are audio files? Thanks for a good tutorial Dennis Gallagher
I would say so. If each one of the audio clips arr in their own channel such as kick, snake, bass, you can use the mixer to mix the levels and then master each channel after that. Hope that helps!
That's a great question! If you go in your Maschine plug-in inside logic, go down to where your sample has been played in. It should default to viewing the whole kit and having a bunch of individual orange blocks all over the place. Go over to the side of the played in view, to where there is a little mini icon of a piano, click this icon. This puts the plug-in in keyboard mode and is used for altering the pitch of the sample. Without clicking or dragging anything (unless you also want to change the pitch of the sample) use the export audio button, the same button I used in the video to get the audio file into logic, drag it into your project file to an unmuted audio track or below all existing tracks to create a new one, and there you go! You have your individual sample as an audio file inside of logic! Hope this helped! Let me know if you run into any more issues!
I agree with other comments on this page. all that mouse dragging and copying and pasting, just might as well used a lot cheaper akai controller along with mpc software if that is how you want to do things. the tempo and record button will work a lot better. using maschine daw and controller inside another daw just really not called for.
If you go to the link below and go down to where it talks about the IShowU program and follow that. It's a little of a pain in the ass but it's worth it. lofi-gaming.org.uk/blog/2016/09/17/capture-mac-desktop-audio-obs/
Can someone please help me with this Q? If I wanted to make a song similar to SIA, (I play guitar already) can you please tell me what I should buy ableton with push 2 or Logic with (what kind of midi keyboard? And what kind of drum pad?) please help? Thank you so much 😊
Yes, the Maschine comes with factory sounds and you can also use other native instrument plugins. If you're having issues I'd recommend checking native access to make sure you have everything installed.
Good day Mr Wilson, I have a question. First of all thanks for the review and your honest opinion about the Maschine. It's hard to find people who are not influenced in any kind of way. I want to start with digital based music and found this Maschine online. Do you really have to have a MIDI keyboard or is the Maschine all you need?
Thank you so much! I’ll do my best to always be unbiased, people look for honest reviews but rarely get them lol I have a midi keyboard as well and honestly I could see not needing it. Just last night, I started making electronic music with the Maschine and I wasn’t even intending to which was super cool! Since the Maschine has a keyboard and chord mode, I feel like you wouldn’t really need a midi keyboard, I certainly have used mine less and less. That being said, since you are just starting, it may be good for you to start with a midi and then move up to the Maschine, or have both. I come from a music background and already know my way around a keyboard, chords, and melody, but if you’re just starting it may be a good idea to have a keyboard as well. This is the one I use - www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/LPK25--akai-professional-lpk25-mini-key-midi-controller You could also go for this one which has keys and pads so you don’t feel like you’re missing out or if you can’t afford to buy the keyboard and Maschine - www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/MPKmini2--akai-professional-mpk-mini-mkii-keyboard-controller For the record I’ve never used the second one BUT I know a lot of people that have it and love it. I hope all of this helps!! Let me know if you ever need anything else!
I think the new A-series keyboard are worth giving a look if you are planning to get one. A-series keyboard and Maschine Mikro MK3 can make a great combo.
I see a lot of videos that show to open maschine logic in and click multioutput use the mixer in logic and add aux and all that, do u ever feel that’s necessary?
I find it’s easier with less steps to just use the Maschine 2 plug in and transfer the audio from there. Could totally be personal preference but that’s just what I found to be the best way. Thanks for bringing that up though, I’ll look into it!
Scott Wilson no prob! Was just curious, because i knew of your method already was just confused when i seen other videos like Stefan Guy showing to open that multi16output! Dont know if you get better quality out of that or what it is lol
Thank you man! I honestly have no idea, I'm sorry! I haven't even heard of that program before so I don't think I can help you Haha best of luck though my man!!
2 possible reasons. 1 is that you havent turned down the volume of the kits u dragged into maschine. every kit is mostly mix and mastered so its always good to turn the volumes down on each channel. secondly you once you drag it into logic, its a good idea to mute the channel the maschine controller is on.becuase it sometimes acts a doubler and keeps playing the loop in the maschine software as well as the dragged audio. hope that helps
It's not perfect to not be able to export the midi on different tracks for separate processing and do this with multiple patterns using different groups.
I guess you would just need to mute the other instruments and then drag in midi that way? i.e. create your beat in Maschine, mute everything but kick, then drop in midi kick. Create new channel then do with snare and so on....? Just bought one and it's fucking ace!!
Sorry I didn't see this before! I think if traveling and portability is any sort of plus for you then you need to go for the Mikro, hands down. I don't think there's enough of an advantage with the full size mk3 to justify the pain of carrying it around. That being said, if you're more stationary and have the budget, I don't see why not! You get 2 functional, pretty screens as well as finer knob controls so if you can swing it, I say go for it!
Ok every please let's contact Native instruments. Why in the heck does maschine always add the extra bar on the audio file when importing to logic. This is so annoying and it makes your audio file pop. Can we start a discussion on this issue please?
7:50
in the file menu, go to export audio (ctrl + e) and highlight loop optimize to remove the tail.

My buddy is a Logic user but I use Maschine. Your video helped me convince him to get the Mikro MK3. Thanks!
So good to hear! Happy I could help!
wow.i searched many vids last night and yours helped me get going the most. Thankyou :)
Thank you for making it simple to understand. I just got a Maschine Mikro and this is great to know how to use in Mac on Logic!
Now this is the first good tutorial of mikro mk3 in my opinion; not too much opinions, just showing how to do it.
Yes!! Thank you so much! I’m hoping people will appreciate that haha
Not sure if this has been mentioned but you just use Maschine 2 by itself then export all the audio. Everything will be separate including the drums, then you can mix it properly. You don't want to mix all the drums together.

Great video, thanks!!! 🙏🏽
Ah yes!! Just what I was looking for before purchasing Logic Pro. Thank you sir 👌🏻
No problem!! Glad I could help!
This is the only tutorial that worked for me..thanks!
hey scott i will be upgrading my MAC ,mikro and adding logic to my set up so yes i will be checking back with you when i do upgrade.
I'm actually not on Mac anymore and I own the full MK3 now instead of the Mikro so I don't think I'll be able to make the video you requested. I'm sorry about that!
This is great but I’m wondering if you can export it as midi files. I like to edit than as midi files and you can’t do it as audio files
Not to my knowledge, I could be wrong though. I'm sure it's up on NI's website though
@@somestreetphotos There is a little icon next to the audio file icon, which is the midi icon. So yes you can, but I think you would need to create separate groups for each instrument

Please do a full maschine tutorial!
I'll try to film an get it out this weekend!
Thank you , my buddy just gave me his Mk2. Just need to register it. I also use logic as well. Thanks again!
You have all the drums clumped together on one track this way.
what about using the Mikro mk3 to control and play midi sounds and instruments that come with Logic?
3STEEZ I’m desperately looking for such a tutorial. Maschine needs to be useful outside mashing plug in. Anybody with a video like that pls tag a link . Thanks
The Note Repeat button work in Logic as well?
Cool video, but why didn’t u open another group in 1st instance of Maschine? Do you have to open a second track in order to sample?
Can i only use the undo/redo/start/stop etc using the maschine plugin?
what are the advantages of using Maschine for making beats/triggering samples versus just using your MIDI keyboard as a controller?
Is there a benefit to using NI hardware and Mashine over say, any MIDI pad controller and Battery or any drum synth ? It seems like more middle steps to disrupt creative flow

IT WAS UNDER AU INSTRUMENTS THE WHOLE TIME! I was getting CRAZY trying to find that shit !
Scott after composing a tune using your method, could I then mix and then have the whole tune mastered even though the mikro mk3 tracks are audio files?

Dennis Gallagher
I would say so. If each one of the audio clips arr in their own channel such as kick, snake, bass, you can use the mixer to mix the levels and then master each channel after that. Hope that helps!
I have a Akai mini Mk2. Should I have this mikro mk3 beside it or should I get something else?
How can I drag each drum sample separately to Logic? I like so separate them for mixing purposes
That's a great question! If you go in your Maschine plug-in inside logic, go down to where your sample has been played in.

Not a bad way to work, Only which the audio was louder.
Thank you for Video.
Great tutorial!
Thank you! I appreciate that!!
Great! 🙂
Thanks Gooseberry, hope it helped!
Yes, it did 😉
Why is the capsule on your mic smashed in? And that’s not exactly a handheld mic...
It's a Blue Bluebird, that's how the capsules look. And I didn't have enough room for a mic stand in that room so I held it.
Nice!
How did you get your internal Logic Pro audio to play with the screen recording?😲

Omg, this is exactly what I needed! Thank you so much!!!
Oh... and 100th comment! Wooohoooo! :D
do any sounds come with the drum pad? i have the same one as you but my library is completely empty when i open Maschine in logic.
Yes, the Maschine comes with factory sounds and you can also use other native instrument plugins. If you're having issues I'd recommend checking native access to make sure you have everything installed.
Look for Maschine 2 Essentials, Maschine 2 Factory Selection, and Maschine Drum Selection

Tutorial on Mikro MK3 please!
I've been using it more and more so I feel like I may actually be able to to put out a tutorial. I'll start writing!!
Awesome thanks man!
Also with the workflow...do you think the Mikro is sufficient or the full MK3? I'm aiming for the Mikro just because of its compactness.
Sorry I didn't see this before! I think if traveling and portability is any sort of plus for you then you need to go for the Mikro, hands down.
