Maschine 2.0 tutorial - Overview

[@jordacheh4076]

hi, i tried it and it worked. its is only now that i can say i,m staring to understand maschine and i can say i like it . my baby is growing up now and have more time to sit with my software .

[@AlbertoDelacruz92]

I love the fact the you touched on some Logic stuff this is a perfect overview!

[@bustogw]

why when i export a sample from adsr into maschine, i sometimes dont get the entire sample

[@mikeadams8708]

Bought Komplete 10 Ultimate. Same problem here. Getting stuck on "Retrieving Download Information". Contacted support. A day later the guy first tells me the problem has allready been solved. I tell him I don't see any changes. Next answer again a day later. Has me install the NI support tool, I send him the generated file. Another day goes by. He tells me I should "run the downloader as an administrator from my desktop" or try using "another internet connection". Former obviously doesn't help, latter... surprisingly I do not have several internet connections in my house. A day goes by, no answer. I send him another mail refering to this forum, saying this is obviously nothing new and I ask if there's a workaround or if NI is working on a fix or if I should ask for my money back. Support doesn't answer for 2 whole days. So I call the German support line. Guy tells me he can send me the direct download links. Okay. So he sends me 75 download links for .iso files. That means: download, mount, accept user agreement, define install path, wait for installer, close, next. 75 times with no automation whatsoever. So I'm a patient guy and I did it (took me about 8 hours all together), but only to immediately run into the next problem, namely the one described in this thread: www.native-instruments.com/forum/threads/battery-4-01-live-9-02-loading-times.192760/ Again a known issue - Battery freezes my DAW for about 15-20 Minutes each time I start it up and Kontakt does the same when I close it effectively rendering both unusable. Being two of the most important components in Komplete Ultimate I decided this is the point where I will ask for a refund so I called the support again. Turns out the 14 days return policy doesn't apply to downloadable products at NI. So I got transfered to the technical support where for the first time someone at NI actually tried to solve my problem. But after 2 hours of moving the apps around, editing the registry, disabling hardware the guy finally tells me they have never encountered this problem before (really?!) and he has no idea what to do so he will start the refund process. So a few hours later I receive an email from NI saying: "Please note that usually download sales are final and can not be returned - see terms & conditions § 5: www.native-instruments.com/e...rms-and-conditions/terms-and-conditions-gmbh/ In your case, we could nonetheless make an exception based on goodwill." I didn't see the point in arguing, but I would like to state here, that refunding me my money after having sold me a defected product for 700 EUR should not need any "goodwill", considering the nature of the problem, being that NI is either not willing or not capable to solve 2 mayor, reoccuring issues with their products. All together, with installing and uninstalling all the apps, time spent on emailing and talking to support, trying to figure out the problem for myself and so on this little adventure cost me about 25 hours of my life and a stellar phonebill for the 2 hour support session with the office in Germany. After this, I would have felt better receiving some sort of apology and a coupon with my refund then hearing about NI's fine "goodwill". So, for anyone who intends to invest in NI products: according to my experience, it seems to be kind of a gamble. If you're lucky, the stuff might work with your hardware, if you're unlucky, it might not. And if it doesn't, apparently you are dependent on NI's "goodwill" wether you ever see your money again or are stuck with a disfunctional, occasionally unusable product. I personally will not risk to buy anything from NI again.

[@BongChongy]

Can you help me please I downloaded everything from Native access. And none of my sounds are in the library

[@zeus1117]

Im surprized the most obvious difference is not even mentioned here! How do you handle and select different (midi) patterns for a scene ??

[@WHYSOSERIOUSIST]

I'm having problems. "All Groups" and All Sounds" are empty. But "All Instrumentals and" All Effects" have items in them. I don't know how to get all the sounds.

[@WHYSOSERIOUSIST]

And no "samples" either.

[@Adsrsounds]

WHYSOSERIOUSIST Make sure you have installed the Maschine factory content DVD and that you don''t have "user" selecterd in the browser

[@LionMode5761]

I have a question about your screen layout.I believe I have an older layout even after updating to 2.0 I'm confused, I can't follow along . Help

[@nm181]

6:37 tap what to get to the mixer?

[@Emotionz223]

can you use your own samples in drum synth and manipulate and layer with drum synth sounds

[@Adsrsounds]

No, as it's a synth, it has an 'engine' providing the sound. You could always layer a drum sound with a drum synth sound, and manipulate the drum synth later

[@walt9427]

Could you do a video on how to create a full song using the 2.0 software? I can create scenes but have no clue how to put multiple scenes together to create a full song.

[@Strinner]

we recently did a tutorial covering the basics of arranging patterns and scenes in Maschine: /watch?v=zF7bQlYj_r0

[@AA-dr2rx]

Hi I have a question about exporting my completed beat. Everytime I export out or drag it out, the final size of the file is ridiculously large. By ridiculously large I mean like anywhere from 20-50mb(the beats are anywhere from 2:00-5:00 minutes long.) So my question is, how do you export it to that average 4-6mb size. I tried looking through tutorials and researched it and have found no answer. Please help!

[@Adsrsounds]

Ar Al Exporting results in a high-quality WAV file, which is why the file size is so large. You can convert this to an MP3 using other software (any DAW or audio program should work), and that will be compressed (smaller file size).

[@thatstheguy07]

At 6:35 what are you tapping to switch over to the mixer?

[@Adsrsounds]

thatstheguy07 the tab key switches between mixer and arrange/pattern view

[@Dron3_]

can someone tell me whats that on/off switch up there next to volume and cpu? I cant find it anywhere and for some reason maschine shows noooooooo info inside the sofware for it.

[@Adsrsounds]

the power button? It's not showing on your software?

[@Dron3_]

it doesnt do anything. I thought it might be well a power switch. but it didnt change anything.

[@Adsrsounds]

It should stop the output and playback when you turn it off.

[@Dron3_]

oh I see. thanks. it was puzzling for me.

[@callofduty0323]

Can you please do a tutorial on how to get this working with logic pro 9 I can't find anywhere on how to get it to work

[@Adsrsounds]

Hey there, we already did a tut on getting a nice workflow for Maschine & Logic: /watch?v=jmezSy5UfBw It's with LogicProX, but will work just the same with 9.

[@callofduty0323]

Yea I tried I get the routing right then when I go to drag n drop the midi I get one sound playing on each track

[@Adsrsounds]

callofduty0323 If you follow all the steps in that tutorial carefully, everything should work ok.

[@Adsrsounds]

callofduty0323 Make sure you make midi input active in Maschine on all the sounds you're routing externally.

[@callofduty0323]

?I got it working do you know how to have it set up say a 808 on a track and you want the 808 to follow the melody or does it already do that when you drag n drop

[@Black_Lycan]

I have 6 bars of music i created. How do i copy what i made and paste it making it 16 bars?

[@Adsrsounds]

You need to make sure your pattern length is 16 bars - click and drag up on your pattern length number to 16, then hold alt and click and drag your pattern to double it. Or on the hardware, you can quickly double your 4/8 bar pattern and keep doubling until you have 16 bars.

[@aaronshaw3815]

The first software I had was maschine so do I got a remove maschine to get 2.0 on the computer screen

[@Adsrsounds]

no, you should just be able to update from version 1.8 to 2.0

[@N8north]

Amazing work guys. Great editing and pacing. I've been using the new Book of Echoes expansion with Maschine 2.0 and being able to load in unlimited kits is really helpful.

[@timkimbrough]

Thank you so much for posting this tutorial. This will help me out alot!!!

[@aaronshaw3815]

Hey I got maschine 2.o and if it days activated but still goes to the demo mood what do I do mines is real new

[@Adsrsounds]

Not sure - best to ask NI support Aaron Shaw

[@SpookoutOfficial]

How can I change the scale I’m playing in like from C to B minor scale in the software without the mk3?

[@kevinhernandez9817]

My Maschine Mikro will not start up. When I plug it in, it lights up then after that nothing happens. Screen and Pads are both blank and it looks like it is turned off even though it is plugged in to the USB port. I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling, and did all of the steps Native Instruments provides in the knowledge base and still nothing. Any help is appreciated.

[@Adsrsounds]

+Kevin Hernandez do you see anything on the display screen? you should see the dimmed out NI logo. What happens when you load Maschine software?

[@kevinhernandez9817]

+ADSR Music Production Tutorials No there is no dimmed out sign and when I open up the Maschine software nothing happens. I've updated all drivers and control editor and still nothing, I am running Maschine 2 with the first gen Maschine Mikro Hardware controller. Could that have anything to do with it?

[@Adsrsounds]

+Kevin Hernandez you might need to do a firmware update? This is definitely something Native Instruments support will be able to help you with, have you contacted them? It may take a day or two for them to respond but they always respond.

[@kevinhernandez9817]

+ADSR Music Production Tutorials okay cool I will try a firmware update..and Yes I'm still waiting on a response from them. Appreciate you trying to help though, it is much appreciated.

[@ghdrum]

I really don't understand Maschine. If you have all your samples/audio/plugins/presets already organised within your DAW, what's the point of this plug-in when you have just as many (and more) editing options within your DAW.

[@harleensingh2531]

It's for the hardware, isn't it?

[@damongaines6683]

I just got my maschine mikro and I was wondering how to download maschine 2.0. can someone help? I just need to know how the file looks and wheres the safest place to download it.

[@damongaines6683]

Damon Gaines if you could reply then message me on here that would be very useful thank you

[@Adsrsounds]

Damon Gaines You will be able to download the Maschine software from your Native Instruments account, you could download to your desktop and then run the installer from there.

[@damongaines6683]

thanks man I appreciate it

[@derricklyles6918]

ADSR Music Production Tutorials Hey how are you doing I have a big problem sir I have the 1.8.2 maschine try to update to 2.0 maschine download software from my disc original no update nothing its showing on my account not registered to my account seems Native won't do nothing or don't care can you help me buddy.

[@TheCooliHighh]

I'm a beginner I need help with everything from hearing sounds and actually getting to use the pad ?! Help lol 😒

[@Adsrsounds]

Cooli Highh You might want to take a look at one of our production courses:www.adsrsounds.com/adsr-courses/ We cover a variety of in-depth content, accessible for both newcomers and more experience producers. We have a lot of free tutorial content on the site, so you can sample some of what we do and then make a decision on where you wanna take things. In particular we have lots of free Mashcine tutorials, which should be really helpful for you: www.adsrsounds.com/category/maschine-tutorials/

[@Adsrsounds]

***** Here's a hardware walkthrough of Maschine MKII which should get you well on your way:kzbin.info/aero/PLlsEknwQnAoSl9Yq_1KkVdReCjizSz09F

[@michaelmccord9419]

I'm having issues with the maschine software and when I downloaded it none of the sounds are there. Is there something extra that I need to do?

[@Adsrsounds]

Michael McCord You should have downloaded the factory content too?

[@michaelmccord9419]

I figured out the problem lol my bad thank you!

[@AbstractRule]

Michael McCord How do you fix it? I have the same problem.

[@michaelmccord9419]

In the top left corner under library there should be a bunch of icons you have to make sure that the Native Instruments logo is pressed

[@AbstractRule]

Michael McCord thanks a lot it was pissing me off I was about to throw my laptop

[@KaitavSapreMusic]

Very helpful. Thank you so much!

[@maartenmedtoaaer3744]

Great tutorial. Made for a lot of aha moments for me

[@aryepack]

I have almost had Maschine 2.0 for a year now and I still don't understand patterns!!!

[@R3N5HAW]

You are not alone... I seem to make everything on 1 pattern to increase work flow and then screws the mixing part up.... did you ever figure it out?

[@aryepack]

R3N5HAW do you have ig for me to explain to you?

[@R3N5HAW]

@@aryepack ya I literally just got ig never posted anything and still don't understand it

[@marquisepalmer1146]

ARYE ima need you too bro , to explain the patterns if you can.

[@marquisepalmer1146]

Vid is not helping me tbh

[@Bigbootiemike]

Can anybody tell me how to save samples? I slice up a song with samples on each square, then when I disconnect my Maschine and reconnect it later I have to do everything all over again. I've tried to "save project with samples" but it still starts me back out from square one.

[@Adsrsounds]

+Michael Parrish I'm assuming once you've sliced your loop you're hitting apply to create the pattern and assign those slices to notes on the keyboard?

[@AbstractRule]

When I open the Maschine program it stops all the other sounds on my computer, how do I fix this?

[@Adsrsounds]

AbstractRule are you opening it standalone mode or as an instrument inside another DAW?

[@AbstractRule]

***** Standalone I think, just plug in the Maschine, then when i open up the maschine program it mutes all my volume.

[@Adsrsounds]

AbstractRule have you checked your audio preferences in Maschine? Go to File>Audio and MIDI settings> and make sure you have your device set to whatever your sound card/audio device is.

[@AbstractRule]

***** that fixed it, thanks so much.

[@Adsrsounds]

AbstractRule No worries, glad we could help.

[@GlitchBeats1]

I'm having trouble updating my machine to software. It says I need the machine to content library and I can't find the download for it on the Native Instruments website.

[@Adsrsounds]

***** Make sure you have installed the Maschine factory content DVD and that you don''t have "user" selecterd in the browser.

[@The1mrpmrp]

Does the GUI not pop up like a normal vst in maschine ? When you selected massive ? Or does it work differently . ( to alter oscillators or other parameters ) 👍

[@Adsrsounds]

Yeah - Massive will pop out so you can see the whole synth... but you can also see just the 8 macro controls for ease / less screen clutter.

[@jordacheh4076]

hi . thanks i watched your tutorial a while a go and lost track. but now that i found it i can say thanks ,i mostly had a problem with workink with the scenes. thanks a lot

[@Adsrsounds]

jordache hartze No worries, glad it was useful for you

[@TynaKeelan]

dope tutorial man ... good overview...

[@Adsrsounds]

Tyna Keelan thanks!

[@OgDj2024]

Very good to tutorial, definitely helped me out a lot.

[@juniorshandsom101]

I have no idea what I’m doing being This high isn’t helping

[@shanem6156]

1st 10 minutes could've just been a video titled drum sounds in maschine and there was no tutorial about this vid.

[@TwoKrispy]

Hate that they changed this program. I had maschine 1 down perfect. Now I don't even have the option of using that format after my old computer broke down. Such a joke.

[@aryepack]

Almost 30 minutes to watch a tutorial is too long. The steps on how to use maschine to the fullest need to be explained in a quicker way. It is tough trying to learn and switching back and forth from this video to my maschine window.

[@Adsrsounds]

+A R Y E My advice to you is starting with the manual, there's a set of exercises in there that will get you familiar with the everything in Maschine - sounds, group, master level, patterns, scenes ... Once you've grasped the basics you'll be able to revisit the video content we have on our channel and navigate it much better. This video is a v2.0 new features overview, rather than a step by step guide to using Maschine from scratch.

[@Rich7714]

I "fink" this Maschine 2.0 "fing" and the "synfs" are really cool. Got to learn how to pronounce "th" mate - it's not hard!

[@Official360]

The "gooey''!? No Gee Yooo Eye

[@omayrag4]

alll that talking and no point!!

[@spel2024]

I'am sick of this beatschool guy.... I feel ashamed that i'am the same species.
