[@Pagroove]

I laughed out loud when you mentioned you had used the loop in whole and said " which goes against all of my values" ;). That feeling when you almost feel guilty to use a loop as it is.

[@elliottross161]

I think you have the best tutorials around! Really making it easy for me to learn my way around maschine. Thanks, much appreciated. Keep up the good work

[@TheBirdHouse]

I learn something simple in every video!! Great work. Love your channel.

I see you have the Maschine Jam now! Can’t wait to see how you incorporate it into you workflow! 🙌🏾

Never seem to disappoint me.. always great content.. it’s Awesome to see a great preview like you always conduct.. before we buy a pack blind and get disappointed.. Native instruments been stepping it up with there packs I gotta say.. thank you for your Awesome videos brother God Bless 🙏

[@jefgibbons]

Same to you my friend! Thanks so much for the comments, I agree, the expansions are just awesome. So many times I've bought loop/sample packs for similar $$ and have been so disappointed, these ones always have a ton of inspiration in them!

Vielen dank Michael!

[@solowkeytv]

Nice review! I'm loving my MK3

[@c2damak]

I totally understand the epidemic of getting stuck in the loop. Maybe make a video of you flushing a beat out on Maschine. Arrangement is by far the most difficult/easy thing to grasp when it comes to the Mk3 and the Maschine DAW. Keep it going JEFF!!!

[@jefgibbons]

That's in the plans! Thanks for the comment!

[@Sydhavsportalen]

Hi Jeff. I see you’ve got the Jam now. Please make some videos about your new hardware. I love all you videos. You are a great teacher. 🙂

The Khalil pack, magnetic coast and faded reels are super buttery. In my opinion that's Ni's best expansions. Nice soulful beat there jeff!

[@jefgibbons]

Thanks David! Love these ones too...

[@chrismeiklejohn]

nice Spinal Tap reference

[@MatrixxSoundlab]

If you cycle through the groups with the jog wheel it'll play example beats using the contents of that kit.

[@Mu1974]

Please do make a video of your Magnetic Coast based full song and how you arranged it for a band. Sounds very interesting. As concerns "little ideas" - I think they are the equivalent to a writer's notes. Every once in a while you flip through your notes and flesh something out.

[@jefgibbons]

That's for sure... and great for when you sit down and try to make something and can't get anything going... pull out an old idea and see where it goes!

[@natelewis9453]

Hey Jef, I don't know if you already knew this, but in the part where you were doing the ADSR settings, I caught something. You can actually do the "select all" function on the board. Just press the "select" button and on the right screen, you'll see an "all" toggle. Once it's pressed, your setting will be applied to all pads just like you did with the mouse.

[@jefgibbons]

Nice one! Gotta force myself to use the hardware more, it’s old habits to go to the software, but the hardware way is so much more satisfying!

[@philippecamus6391]

Very interesting. Thank you Jef.

[@mdaddy006]

Alright, so after you played the first 3 seconds of the beat, I stopped the video and subscribed. I love it that much... I was thinking what artist would kill it and I was like Chris Brown and Usher would make this a hit. I’m gonna check our all of your videos now. Thank you for the inspiration!!!

[@jefgibbons]

Thanks Mack! Really appreciate it...

[@mdaddy006]

Jef Gibbons, not a problem. Thank you for the content. I actually just got a gaming computer and put a 2 TB SSD an 32 of ram in it, so I will actually be able to use my Maschine Studio now... I’ve had the thing for a couple years and barely used it because my laptop was a cub and I needed a grizzly bear to use it. Lol

[@jefgibbons]

Nice! Just in time to hide out and make some beats in this crazy world... stay safe Mack!

[@dbk555]

Hey Jef, i would really love to see your process on adding other instruments on top of the beats you just showcased. I'm struggling with this, never finding a good instrument that matches a cool beat i made in Maschine, so if you have any tips on this topic, i would really be hyped to find out. Thanks and btw your videos are great, even the lighting setup it's super awesome.

[@jefgibbons]

Sounds good! I did a little bit in the coming Lo-Fi Glow video, should be up tomorrow, but I'll take it a step further in a coming video.

[@ZX-6R]

Hi Jeff, you talk in this video about making your own kit, did you do a video on it? thanks a lot!

[@Sumiran_Rana]

I'm having trouble regarding installing. Like where do actually have to install the setup

[@allenanalog]

impressive!

[@SeanMadden]

Hey Jef, would it be possible for you to do a "sampling" video on tips/tricks on how to manipulate samples in Maschine to make them different and unique from the original. Not necessarily a video on "how to sample", but perhaps the after math on ways to work with a sample in creative ways. I love sampling, but end up struggling with manipulating the sample/chops so they don't sound exactly like the original.

[@jefgibbons]

Good idea, I need to do another song from found sounds, those always bring out more creative mangling of samples!

[@samplethis8103]

My Faded Reels won't show up on my Kontakt. Any Tips?

[@jefgibbons]

Very strange, you are definitely loading kontakt and not kontakt 5 by accident? Make sure it says kontakt (which should be actually kontakt 6)

[@samplethis8103]

Jef Gibbons I made sure it was kontakt ( Kontakt 6) but it only shows up with Maschine which i only have a demo for

[@WestbankRed]

where you got the wooden stand from?

[@PavanSibal]

Nice tutorial Jeff. QQ, why did you duplicate a sound to another group to play in keybd mode. Can’t we always select a sound and play in keyboard mode right in the group where it exists.

[@jefgibbons]

I always do that... I like having things that run like "tracks" on their own group... old fashioned that way. That way I can have independant FX on that track if I don't like the FX on the group layer of the other one.

[@matthoskins7988]

Hey Jef.. Love your tutorials.. Eternally grateful! Can you do a cubase tutorial on how to download upgrades using their manager?.. As an example upgrading from say 10 to 10.5?...and subsequent halion updates etc. That would be super helpful. Keep up the great work.

[@davidscott2095]

Hi, Jeff. I am a total newbie. I am not sure which way to go: MPC One or Maschine MK3. I want to focus exclusively on 90's style boom bap production. I have a question that might sound silly (remember: I'm a total novice) Are the Akai Expansions compatible with Maschine? I appreciate any insight you can share with me. Thank you again. Blessings!

Hi Jef, did you make your Maschine and mixer wooden enclosures?

[@neosoulmusicman]

First I’d like to say I so enjoy your Tutorials!! Please don’t ever stop and do more!! And could you please tell me how do you get That Stereo Sounds/Music from your Daw to your Video??!! I want so bad to make a video with my Music! Only thing that’s stopping me is it has to sound right ! Like wht I gear out of my Daw!! And wht editing software do you use?? I have the Mk3, Reason, Logic, Big Knob as my interface, and a IMac Computer. This video of yours here has the stereo sound I would love to showcase my Music!!Please tell me or show me how you do it!! Please help!!!

[@jefgibbons]

Hey Maurice! I run the audio out of my interface into a Zoom H6 recorder. I tried a program called Loopback, but the latency added was too much for me to play Maschine! I hear there are other options out there that don't have latency and allow you to record the audio internally, but I haven't bothered looking since this works so well. I then have to sync the audio manually afterwards. Next I use FCPX to edit. I used Premiere a long time ago, but FCPX is just so dang fast on my old Mac. Even at 4K. That's how I do it! Here's an older vid with the details: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i5Pan5aufMSKZ7c

[@neosoulmusicman]

Thank you so much for your response and help Jeff!! I haven’t tried it yet but looking forward to it. Actually I’m just seeing this for the first time, but I so appreciate that you even got back to me Jeff!! Again thanks so much for the information!!

You’re welcome! Yeah, you’ve got some great expansions there, worth digging into those first!

[@JBintheplacetobe]

Still interested in the mini beat that you turned into a song, sir! I think it's very true it requires a whole different set of skills to go from a basic groove to a fully arranged song. Any guidance on that would be extremely helpful.

[@samgoldsberry3029]

Awesome review. Seem to be lots of reverb and beat delay in this expansion. Sounds good though.

[@jefgibbons]

Loads of effects on these, which I prefer to those that are baked in... then you can turn them off if you want!

[@blahblaahblaaah]

Hey Jef, great video once again! Do you do anything special to avoid the effects of pitch shift on sample length when you load a sample into the sampler and play in keyboard mode? Whenever I do this, the effect is quite dramatic, but i never notice it on your videos. Thanks!

[@jefgibbons]

It just depends on the sample, some the effect is really noticeable for sure!

[@blahblaahblaaah]

@@jefgibbons ok glad to hear it's dependent on the sample, I thought I was missing something in the sampler set up! It's a shame some of the features of the audio module aren't present in sampler, since audio can do pitch shift without changing tempo

Can I have that beat that stuff was amazing

[@peteryoung9991]

Jef, as always: I enjoy watching your expert vids - but I am glad I quit using Maschine right after I bought it almost a year ago (which I never told you). But I use it as a sophisticated soundcard now to drive my external monitors. Learning Maschine was simply too much and complicated and being a linear producing type I never saw how I could integrate this device when composing a 3,5 minute song. BUT I have one important question in regards of your computer equipment: I guess you use an iMac (right?). Please tell me how many RAM you have build in. The reason why I ask: After I upgraded to iOS Catalina my Logic Pro X almost crashes due to lack of RAM left. I only have 8 GB RAM build in. So as my iMac is of 2016 and not to be upgraded I either dispose it off to the bin or (and this is more affordable) I invest a third of the money for a new mac into a sophisticated windows 10 gaming PC with at least 32 GB RAM.

[@jefgibbons]

Hey Peter! It’s a Mac pro with 32gb ram, I think 32 is essential these days!
