How to Learn Arrangement & Sound Selection with Reference Tracks in Maschine [Any Genre]

[@bigboyblunden]

Amazing!!!! Would love to see you carry out the entire process so we could see end result of your own track with a ref as guidance 🔥

[@syntheticfauna]

Definitely you make the most comprehensive and interesting tutorials on Maschine! keep them coming!

[@MusicMemor]

Thank you 🙏 I'll try!

Great vid! This is actually similar to the workflow I use most of the time. I usually only use one group to “document” the reference track by typing info in the clips. I run out of text space when it gets crowded with many elements though. I’m definitely gonna try your way now. It makes more sense.

[@MusicMemor]

Awesome! I hope it works out

That was great! Best tutorial vid yet! Also is there a way to chop the reference track into scenes to add patterns or is it clips only? I would love to see a video on how to do this without the computer though. Is this still possible thru standalone? I would love to see a reference tracks with clips only playthrough thru standalone!!

[@MusicMemor]

You can do it with patterns, but it’d take some time to chop. One method I’d do is create a new pattern for the soundslot every 8 bars. Pattern 1 would play the soundslot audio from bars 1-8. Pattern 2 would play bars 9-16, and so forth. Yes, this would be possible with standalone if you have the audio file on your SD card

[@royfields8840]

Couldn't you use stems of a song separated by a program like RipX? Maybe import the midi files?

[@MusicMemor]

I'm not familiar with that tool, but I'll have to try that out and see!

[@royfields8840]

@@MusicMemor Cool, thanks for the swift response! 👍
