Getting Started with Maschine MK3!

[@mrsullivan]

I'll try to explain the mind smacking serendipity that I experienced tonight; in part due to discovering this video. I was researching the process to sell my MK3 when I accidentally came upon this video. The hunger to learn is back with a vengeance and I've at long last found my teacher! Thank you for a top shelf dose of clarity and professionalism. Whatever is next, just sign me up.

[@jefgibbons]

Wow Michael! OK... I better keep the vids coming! Another basics one coming soon... Thanks man!

I've had the MK3 mostly collecting dust next to me because I was missing simple instruction like this. Thank you!!

[@Likeatruck]

Had my mk3 almost a year and was using it for a paperweight the last few months I was so frustrated trying to learn how to use it from tutorials which usually frustrated me more. They went so fast that I would have to rewind and watch over and over to finally figure it out then stumbled across your tutorials and now I'm proud to say my Mk3 is totally dustfree and I'm actually starting to have fun with it! You the man Jeff!

[@jefgibbons]

NICE! Thats what I like to hear! It's a confusing device, but once you get going on it, there's no better fun to be had on a musical device (IMHO)

[@brucecopeland-saffa]

Agreed!!

[@bhaskarville]

I have a Groove 3 subscription and have bought a Udemy course, but nobody has come close to explaining Maschine like you Jef! Thank you for doing this! 🙏🏾

[@billbradleymusic]

Jefferson, you are the best teacher of maschine on YT. Hands down. I search for more and have come back to you multiple times. Reason being, in my mind, is that you have a lot of valuable content in short segments. It's hard to digest fully. You do slow it down to reiterate certain things, other's get passed...but, it's like Rague, "it's in there" . I just have to revisit and learn the parts I missed while grasping the first bit. Thanks a million.

[@nick3795]

Jeff, I don't have Maschine but have promised it for myself some time in 2022! Your video was recommended to me, you have a very patient way of explaining and that Analogue Dreams melody was impressive! Thx :)

[@tuliobs]

I just got my hands on a Maschine MK3 and I'm amazed at how much fun it is. As a total newbie, your videos are going to help me a lot, thank you.

[@jefgibbons]

That's great, I agree... it's my fave way to create new ideas right now.

[@Rebla01]

I gave up with my M3 about a year ago, Was going to give it one more try before letting it go. So so glad i found Mr Gibbons. Take a bow Sir, i'm all fired up & looking forward to a fresh outlook & perhaps even actually learning how to use this amazing piece of kit. I too have looked at so many tutorials in the past but just found it so difficult to keep up & had almost decided i must be particularly stupid or just plain dumb ! You're delivery style really works for me & i'me able to take in a lot of info without being totally bombarded! Great effort thanks Jef.

[@jefgibbons]

+Andy Gladish thanks so much Andy, I really appreciate your story! I need to pass this on to NI!

[@annaloake6637]

By far the most useful and clear intro demo I’ve seen to date - thank you!!

[@jefgibbons]

You're welcome Anna!

[@nicksonnehansen5375]

finally! this should be one of NI's own introduction videos! this was just what i needed! you come across so clearly and i wish i had found this video before all this frustrations i experienced throughout my 1 week of owning the product! It is almost as if there is just shortcuts explained no menu dives thank you so much Jef!

[@peteryoung9991]

Jeff, greetings from Germany. This vid is absolutely priceless. Thank you for all your work and effort. Since 3 weeks I try to figure out on youtube how this works, and i am hating and loving the idea of this maschine as a new approach to making music. Yesterday for the 1st time I went here to a professional store to watch a demonstration by one of the guys there. So far I only know keyboards and Cubase to make music but I guess I will order one of them soon and enter a complete new world.

[@jefgibbons]

Thanks Peter, it took me a lot longer to get my brain around than it should have, it's just a very different way of making music, but after forcing myself to dig in, I really love the workflow.

[@SKimbrough]

Jeff! Thank you for making this. I know you pushed this out back in February, but I just discovered it by accident. I have never used any of the Maschine products from NI but a family member has the Mikro and told me that if I want to create and be very portable, Maschine makes more sense due to the on screen editing features. The closest I ever came to it was testing an MPC many years ago. Of course, we both know every person creating a tutorial has their own style. I've watched a few tonight and am so glad I came across yours, young man! And yes- I had to subscribe because your content and delivery to a future newbie is spot on. The multi camera angles are a nice touch and your video is nice and clear. You're organized and make good examples of what could happen using longer methods as opposed to shortcuts ("macros", right?). I looking to get my first Maschine in a few days. It also appears that you are using a Mac for your creating. Are you making magic via a Mac Mini or the Mac Pro? Asking because I am trying to minimize my setup at home while retaining portability. If you are quite familiar with MacOS, would you happen to know if this Machine Mk3 will work well with the iPad Pro with it's upcoming iOS 13 (or iPadOS)? I know generally you have to connect this to the laptop/desktop computer, but I am asking to see what your experience reveals. I envision the 2018 iPad Pro, Maschine Mk3 connected via a USB-C (Thunderbolt 3) cable, and a SanDisk portable 1TB SSD. Thoughts? Well have a great day and please keep making more great videos where you simplify the processes for the uninitiated! Have to finish your video then visit your channel for more! Be well and take care. Much respect.

[@pauljones1527]

Thank you for this easy to follow, straight to the point intro to using the MK3. I was beginning to lose the will to live with trying to fathom how and where to start. Whilst there are plenty of other 'Beginners' tutorials out there, the ones I have so far watched are overly feature rich with 'do this, hold that, press shift and stand on one leg' type instructions. Overwhelming to say the least. What you present here is exactly what I needed :)

[@jefgibbons]

I have to admit… I made the video as a beginner, but forced myself to read the manual… that’s probably why it resonates with beginners, I was one!!! And since then I love the maschine!!!

[@MSS-g7f]

Hands down the most instructive intro to Maschine Mk 3 compared to MacPro Video, Ask, ADSR etc. Essential viewing for anyone new to the NI beat ecosystem. Thank you for sharing.

Have fun with it! If you're new to drum pads, I recommend forcing yourself to play on the pads every day... play along with other songs or just make up your own beats from the different kits. It's amazing how fast you can train your fingers...

[@solomonrobertsjr9772]

Thanks for doing what many others say but don't. You make it easy to follow as if you'er truly new to Maschine MK3. You use examples with sound that usually come with the MK3 and show us how to discover many of the fine points that others leave out or assume you already know. Thanks for knowledge.

[@thejoeblaculaperspective9656]

@@jefgibbons WOW!! Thanks for the reply Jeff! It took me a few days to figure out an appropriate answer and to pick thru the videos that you have. But the ONE constant/consistent video that is needed for former AKAI MPC users is the need to learn how to Sample properly in the Maschine! I worked on the AKAI MPC series for almost 30 years, and know that I was a SURGEON with it, so im lookin fwd to being able to do the same, if not MORE with the Maschine. If ive watched 10 different videos, then ive seen 10 different ways to do it, which is very confusing for those like me. ALSO, what is the ultimate purpose for GROUPS?? There's 8 group pads, BUT, can there be a Group A2, B2, C2, etc?? I understand the concept, took me a minute but I got it, and its actually good to know, especially for my OCD having the need to stay organized. BTW, your attention to intangibles are UNMATCHED!

[@fromoutwest]

Hey Jef, great beginner vids for Maschine. Suggestion for a future topic could be using Maschine software on the Komplete Kontrol keyboards. I was surprised to see just how much one can do (I also have an S61 MK2) and opted to not bother with the Maschine hardware at all. May be others in this situation who would benefit.

[@jefgibbons]

Not a bad idea, but I just love the Maschine ecosystem so much, I feel at a loss when I don't have the pads!

[@domtoulon6202]

So always LOVE your tutorials Jef that I find myself revisiting them all the time. Maschine MK3 is indeed the best.. reminds me of my old Alesis HR-16 & MMT-8 days but throwing in so much more.
