Alex Fain LIVE SET Using only MASCHINE PLUS (Techno 140 bpm)

[@adidai]

Yo!! Fellow M+ owner and lover here. Been trying to tell and show people how great the M+ is, finally a live performance that showcases the massiveness of the M+, made by someone who knows wtf he is doing!!!! You are one of my favorites to watch, how you work with different units! Thanks a lot for this set!

[@AlexFainDj]

Thanks ☺️

[@BrianHaag]

Ten-year Maschine owner here: my advice is to 100% adopt the workflow. Don't bend it or try to adjust it. If you really get it under your fingers, these things are just so much fun to play. Great set!

[@igorbeuk4068]

Super 👏😃🎶 you are ready for Live performing and I hope that you already playing

[@AlexFainDj]

@igorbeuk4068 Unfortunately no. Nobody considers me for live gigs, I'm not famous and I'm probably too old 😂😂

[@JustTEKKNO]

Very impressive skills, I like your jams! 🤟

[@johnpaullovetek1809]

A TRUE SPIRIT HARDGROOVE TECHNO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@DawlessHouseMusic]

Techno with heart and soul.

[@Mark-vs5xx]

Sei bravissimo. Spettacolo Maschine. Sembra molto intuitiva, e pronta a farsi suonare.

[@AlexFainDj]

Intuitiva proprio no! Mi ha fatto sudare sangue capirla.

[@igorbeuk4068]

​@@AlexFainDjit's was not more demanding then Video Games today. I can play for hours without stopping but I am I aiming more towards the Music without Drums... offcourse I play Psy Trance and Techno/House and Tech but as a Shadow or for my self...I don't know I I grew up over Music I wanted to produce but I love to listen and to see Maschine Users taking advantage . I miss USB storage device as File manager in both directions but I like that I can place Lock States on Time Line accurately almost as Automation ( same is with Scenes and Selection but it can be acces by external environment and... it's not that important to be honest, it's just great to have that option

[@AboutHouseMusic]

A great performance. Thanks for putting this together.

[@AmelioMedardo]

Grazie per questo video .. fino adesso mi sono frenato ad acquistarlo purché non ho ancora ascoltato nessun demo in rete con un kit drums acustico .. solo roba troppo elettronica per i miei gusti essendo un chitarrista mi chiedevo se ci sono suoni più realistici ... forse mi servirebbe una dritta se si potranno istallare altri pacchetti più acustici

[@AlexFainDj]

Si ce ne sono molti

[@AmelioMedardo]

@@AlexFainDj grazie di avermi risposto .. ma dove posso ascoltare qualche demo di batterie più realistici ?

Thanks Stephan 😍

[@LeinVons]

Alex my friend, I was wondering how to do livesets on my Maschine MK3 and I came across this video, it might change my whole workflow, thanks, banging set!

[@AlexFainDj]

It's a pleasure to be able to inspire other musicians

[@jordansipla6012]

Just bought a mk3 in February in hopes of doing stuff like this. Thanks for posting.

[@jeynyfer3509]

Hey Great job ! What SD card do you have in GB? do you only use expansions or are there vsts? it's nothing 55cpu well done 🎊

[@denohmwas]

Got my Maschine MK3 5 months ago. Its been really stressfull figuring it out. Bit this here inspires me to get back into it. Thanks alot. Maybe make a seperate video on your workflow sir.

[@Jiggeer86]

Make a course, it's Worte it. I do make actually a techno course with machine

[@AlexFainDj]

@Jiggeer86 i’m not a professor … i’m a performer 😃

[@Jiggeer86]

@@AlexFainDj you're a great performer. Respect

[@sbim1373]

Nice set! Is the Maschine plus stable and no bugs ? :)

[@AlexFainDj]

Stable is stable and no bug. The big problem is the cpu atom, very poor. You can’t open 3-4 vst plug in + 2 drum track… by the way after some time, you learn about this limit and with some trick you can make It ( resample the track and using loop for example 😂) in my live I use 90% loops made by me.

[@superdisco101]

Wow. Great performance.Is it less stressful to the cpu if you load just 2 groups per bank? Didnt know that. I had the same approach. Each group a song, but when i used 8 groups a bank, the cpu went nuts and the audio had hiccups.

[@AlexFainDj]

I load 2 groups ( 2 songs) then I cancel the last and load the next and so on and on. With 2 songs uploaded my cpu is about 55/60 % . The song is made by 8 loops in 8 pads . In this case 8 is the magic number 😃

[@superdisco101]

@@AlexFainDj ah now i understand, you are working just with loops here, not patterns. Hm i should give it a try.

[@marcus268]

​​@@AlexFainDjHow many bars could that sample be ? I.e. 8x 32 bars, would be about 32 mbyte per track, 240 mbyte per group? (shorter KB loop) to save memory ? Each group has a simar fx setup?

[@AlexFainDj]

@marcus268 you can use long samples, this is no cpu limits. Cpu goes in crisis when you put plugin fx .

[@____mteus]

Hi alex, great set and performance!! How do you load the groups? I can only do this with samples one by one

[@AlexFainDj]

You save the group and when save It save with samples , when you load a group press shift and push with pattern and so in this way you get the group with samples and relative patterns

[@KUSHGRAM]

Alex qui sound mostruoso!

[@Heathcliff_hensel]

Nice one, i just bought a M+ this was fun.

[@maus3454]

Techno and M+. Yeah yeah yeah

[@michalk452]

Hello Mate! Can u explain me how it works ? do u use your own loops/ loops from packs? full tracks?

[@AlexFainDj]

Read the description. Inuse internal sounds, my own samples , loops and loop pack.

[@tarekben7368]

Nice Jam👌🏾 where can i stream it ? What’s the name of the song?

[@AlexFainDj]

No name.

[@youaintseenmeok]

Great use of mixer , why did nt i think of that 😅

[@nicolasquinonez5111]

How did you learn to play live on the maschine? Any tips i just got mine!

[@altberg__]

What is your worklow. Do you prepare your stems in a daw and load them in machine and combine it live? Researching right now if i should buy the machine+. I never used machine before, but i looking for a sampler for a long time now and the machine+ i think fit my needs of do exactly what i described or asked you. Preparing stems from my scribble and tracks and play them live at some point.

[@altberg__]

Great set btw :) 🙌👏

[@AlexFainDj]

You can, but I like prepare all with Maschine plus, in the box. I create the loops with It. Not with daw.

[@__FA_B_]

Man, you have a talent with that machine + !! Great sound! Have you ever heard of Stef Mendesidis?

[@AlexFainDj]

Yes Stef is my Ispirator 😄

[@__FA_B_]

@@AlexFainDj Friend, we speak the same language then🫶🏻😭❤️ Stef is my biggest inspiration in my productions, I've always had Ableton Push, and after I saw that he bought the Machine Plus, I can't think of anything else and I can't wait to buy them.

[@AlexFainDj]

@@__FA_B_hahaha , I discovered Stef after 1 month I bought my firts M+, in fact I bought the second one. Here the result 😂 Alex Fain -150 bpm Techno 60 min Live ( Maschine Plus x2 ) kzbin.info/www/bejne/mp_YiGajqaipjbM

@__FA_B_ ma sei Italiano? Mavainfiga va 😂

[@diegotc9713]

It is possible to share the project to can practice this wonderful workflow?

[@AlexFainDj]

Sorry but no.

[@leesimz_]

Is each group a seperate track? With patterns and loops etc..

[@AlexFainDj]

Yes Sir!

[@pedroebenitez5550]

ven a tocar en argentina!!! hay mucho publico amante del techno

[@ammuinorchestra]

when you upload a new song to one of the two active groups, what do you basically upload? from the browser menu I don't understand what loads: groups/sound/one shot/loop/instruments or what?

[@AlexFainDj]

Browser: groups . When you sace a group remember to save it with samples and patterns

[@ammuinorchestra]

@@AlexFainDj thank’s i’m gonna try!

[@igorbeuk4068]

It's click lack workflow but ones you do everything - Music

[@maximmiernik]

So you always load two groups inside, but what is with the patterns of the Group, they will not get exported too or is there any possibility to bring the created patterns you made with all the groups?

[@AlexFainDj]

When you load a group , in the left screen push WITH PATTERN

[@maximmiernik]

​@@AlexFainDjoh shit, you're opening my eyes now 😂 Thank you very much, I would love to hear an industrial set from you with the Maschine too ❤️

[@maximmiernik]

​@@AlexFainDjoh man, glad to have you with your amazing set. You just opened my eyes now, thank you very much I would love to see an Industrial 160 BPM Set from you

[@AlexFainDj]

@maximmiernik 😂 industrial is not in my vibes..

[@themarcvelazquez]

it makes me so mad u aren’t playing this at huge festivals

[@AlexFainDj]

Only famous djs play at Festival 😂

[@igorbeuk4068]

Yes 😂 interesting topic but one's you learn at home you are going to attract many eyes and ears. I keep Unmark Quad connected to main Mixer just in case but I didn't have any crashes or waiting for loading group while my track playing in solo Mode. It's great device and I hope that simplicity will be more clear and knowing what are limitations it is easier to do impossible or brake the rules...like different independent Tempos on every track-Pad or something that will make you do new things compared to Mouse or Surface Controller and Write Automation because it can be boring while on Maschine you ajust one point - Pad - Lock State - Snapshot and later just turn MIDI back to M+ and use empty group and Pad to control Lock States as they are Notes which are triggering them precisely. Huge Festivals are "fake" and movement is happening around the Mixer EQ...OK Trumpet is playing the real instrument but that time is passed Long time ago. I was watching live Astral Projection with 23 Hardware Instruments , Mixer , Amiga Cubase and it was expensive because we didn't buy those Hardware but rent them... result was different but enough for majority not to care.

[@animaliamici8621]

hey hey hey

[@youaintseenmeok]

❤love it just brought one , how would you mix different bpms , any ideas

[@AlexFainDj]

I use the same bpm for all

[@djNair]

I recommend adding Machine Jam to make your work easier🙂🎛

[@AlexFainDj]

Yes but I have no space in my case

[@jaylow759]

Nah, creative minimalism. Too much toys and you lose focus. M+ is enough to give you a headache ;-)
