How to make a hypnotic amapiano track with MASCHINE | Native Instruments

[@aaronbazil]

Just from the thumbnail I knew it wasn't going to be exactly accurate Amapiano; but I clicked cuz I knew technically I was going to learn so much more than the original genre producers since I highly doubt those guys can explain in such detail as much as this guy did. Great job! And thank you!

[@NativeInstruments]

Appreciate the kind words Aaron and happy to read you've learned a trick or two with the video 🙌

[@aaronbazil]

@@NativeInstruments I'll keep grinding and hope to work with you guys one day too! 🫡

[@TheHedgehog]

Loving the Maschine content over the past 6 months! Please keep it coming with Boris. He's a great teacher and so damn creative. Upvote for more maschine content!

[@MarkoProximo]

Complainers, chill. This is a Maschine workflow showcase, not the amapiano producer of the year contest. Engaging lesson as usual, Boris & NI 👍

[@del-marmare1646]

Hahaha, well said.

[@Bangastarch]

Facts but I think they could have found a Dj or producer that they’d have collaborated to make a sick tune.. it’s all marketing right ? Might as well go all out

[@2slikkUK]

Great comment Very true!! But amapiano??? 🤣🤣Is he sure?? I hear different

[@menzihxni]

And I was about to comment about how bad this beat is.

Hello from South Africa. Mzanzi in the house.

🔊Best NI tutorials ever, exactly the skill sets I am inspired to learn, I have the mikro and still found this to be very helpful. This is currently my favorite musical technical adventure drama series, can hardly wait for season 4 🔊🔊🔊🌋🌋🔥💃🕺🪩

[@kvkcoils8011]

I think it's great how Boris explains exactly how he got inspired, shows step by step what and how he worked it up, and of course he's not gonna do something overly complex , as far as amapiano goes, he wants the less initiated to feel inspired and feel like they can easily do something similar , as well..... Great stuff THANK YOU BORIS and NATIVE INSTRUMENTS #TeamMaschine 🙂

[@andrewlnguyen]

Thanks, Boris. I learned many new things today!

[@themindasmusic]

A great walkthrough of Maschine's features, thank you.

[@sbrocos]

With each new video I love more my MK3. Thanks you for these videos, because they are illustrative and educational

[@NativeInstruments]

Thank you 😇

[@NC17z]

Thank you for the Tip at 1:45,... I really appreciate it. Like more than you can imagine.

[@mikebryant4146]

As a new Maschine+ owner, this shows me the deep potential of this instrument. Thanks so much Boris, there is so much info here, I will be re-watching this and extracting ideas for weeks to come.

[@YosiOren]

I love maschine. but afer this video I love it even more. This was an amazing video , so inspiring. thank you.

[@HUMZMIC1]

Man the way you explain and show how you do the sounds is FANTASTIC keep up the amazing work!!!

[@dannravv]

Top top teacher! Brilliant sir

[@skillmaticwayne]

This is incredible! Thank you Native Instruments for keeping your customer base in mind. This is why whenever I look at any digital instruments that I will go to Native Instruments as best as I can. I’m still waiting on a master class subscription from you all!

[@Datsunn]

Boris, the legend himself!!!

[@blacktminister415]

Great tutorial again. Good follow up to the ‘everything with maschine series’. Glad to get some more knowledge about working with clips. Thanks, and keep them coming!

[@jackveranda]

That was realty enjoyable man, your a very mellow dude, I like people who teach life this. Thank-you and I love the track. Have a great day. 👍

[@simbarashezuva582]

If you want to continue on this series, I recommend getting more off-market soundbanks (there are no official ones in the genre). They are always good you wont need to edit them but this is a good step in the right direction

[@andrewsun4385]

Awesome!!!🌟🌟💯💯

Like the left and right split with layers, really good idea I’m going to try this.

[@robertshamansky1912]

Nice track and it was a great tutorial!

[@jabulilematyana265]

This is great, people are just hating. This sounds expiremental. Has Broken beat, Piano, and techno elements. Cool intepretation. Would love to see this on Maschine Plus as well. 🇿🇦

[@boo-la]

More videos like this, please 🙏🏼

[@kiingboy]

Yes sir! Expansion update in coming 🤷❤️❤️

Really nice one

Loving it! In fact what is actually happening 19:30 with the duplicated notes is not phase cancelling is actually magic! Great video and awesome beat

Merci pour ce super tutoriel… Tes vidéos sont vraiment géniales !! Encore, encore, encore…. 😜 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏

[@criticalwoodhip-hopforever2657]

Hi @NativeInstruments We are craving since a while a good Afrobeat / Amapiano expansion . Are we gonna see one coming soon or that is not up to date please ?

[@quiz2424]

i like how you break down your process

[@angelopearce2420]

Music is a language and it should be shared. This interpretation might be bad to some, but end the of the day the idea Amapiano is being spread across the world. I love that Boris Mezga also mentioned that the genre is from South Africa. South Africans are amazing at this genre and I hope that we continue to develop and grow.If you want to show Native Instruments how it is done properly ,buy the product and upload your KZbin tutorial..Easy Mense

[@issiewizzie]

You finally brought it to native instruments I think there’s an expansion that focuses on Afrobeats you might just wanna expand on that for your next expansion

[@mzwenhlanhlamkhunya9011]

My brother I'm a South African and I'm in (province) of KwaZulu-Natal (town) Durban . Im not a fan of amapian but u just did it I like the sound that u did . And I was here to check how to use this Daw

[@SuperFaceless1]

I learned something so this is a awesome video! Year two with mk3!

[@modiashole1604]

We need a Amapiano expansion ASAP

[@NativeInstruments]

Why not!

[@metvibe]

With the real LOG DRUM Sound.

[@auntheforest]

very cool✨

[@stevecut]

Thank you, Boris. Found the coverage of clip usage very helpful. Also, hope the storm blew over or you caught the fish, whatever 😜

[@naminirecords5377]

Great job! Please Boris, can you tel me the brand or maker of that acoustic treatment of your room ? Thanks and all the best!

[@anaphylastiks]

The panning shaker idea is cool. I'd go further and try to humanize or have slightly different swing on each pan.

[@0ebt95]

I fuckin love Boris. Could watch him all day (which I have done before. Twas a good day)

[@marriebandz5769]

Installing al my maschine software as we speak 💪🏾🤣🤣 thx for this

This song is dedicated to all the DAWs out there 🎵 DAW de do de.. DAW de dedo DAW 🎵

[@williamgoodwin9667]

Hi there I’ve been watching a heap of your vid😂is thanks heaps for the content it’s just great. As for the noise you hear it will be due to the frequencies of each noise cutting each other out. Hope this helps with the diagnosis. If they are not playing at the same time the actual noise will eliminate frequencies.

[@beatmekkerz]

How do I get the amapiano expansion. I can’t find it in the library online.

[@Thomas-ym5cm]

Yeeeesssss!!!!!!!

[@signas9896]

gotta say, after watching this video and listening to some actual amapiano it's not the same. I don't know how to even describe it to you. it sounds the same.....Literally sounds the same. But the spirit isn't the same at all. IT'S CRAZY I KNOW!! But that's the best way to describe it to y'all

[@ronniboi312]

Well... each to their own, but i think you're actually missing the point here. Boris has just given us a showcase tutorial on Machine and it was brilliant to watch and learn and take away a couple of new ideas on workflow and production. it's not trying to be anything else

[@signas9896]

@@ronniboi312 Oh yeah, no doubt about that. He did sidestep some issues that does plague the Maschine though that veteran users constantly mention in the forums but from the point of showmanship in what maschine can do, Boris did a fantastic job. However, as someone who does listen to Ama piano on a consistent basis, I simply made an observation and pointed out the weird sense of incongruity I was hearing or lack thereof.

[@ronniboi312]

@@signas9896 Fair comment, I must admit that I am completely unqualified to judge the feel and authenticity of the demo, as Amapiano is not my bag

[@unclehomunculus]

this is more ichbineinpiano

[@IDEIYIONI]

Yeah, this is not Amapiano at all.

[@uploadmusic69]

I think it’s time we have the capability to automate performance effects on the mater channel 😏 and automate group mute come on … 😏

[@DragDealer]

Question! I’m starting with Maschine but got a Mk2 could a more advanced user tell me if I should spend the time watching these tutorials? Or is the hardware/software too different and I should look only at Mk2 videos? This is my first week with the hardware Mk2

[@NativeInstruments]

Hi Andrex, the MK2 lacks some of the MK3 functionalities but you can definitely watch these tutorials for some workflow inspirations. ✌️

[@leobonnes921]

not a fan of the genre but this video is truly awesome love you guys

[@porchmann]

how do you get the frequencies back when you need low frequencies for the baseline? do you do it separately for the instrument? for me it just creaks in the sound

[@qobomasuku5951]

Next time please feature DJ Maphorisa and Kabza De Small. They can illustrate this genre very well.

[@MannyXO]

I enjoyed it so much! Learnt a lot, first time ever from a Maschine tutorial 😂 cause its always some weird housy experimental weird stuff going on no offence.

[@2HEstudios]

Por favor más vídeos así ya sea con machine o el teclado , o como sea pero está muy buenos y una buena lista para no perdernos nada 🥵🥵. Amo demasiado está empresa.❤️

[@NativeInstruments]

Thank you so much for the support ❤️

[@TMOFD]

Thanks again Boris. Nice tutorial as always. Thank you of reminding me of the octave and semitone buttons on the pads. Sometimes I forget the most obvious thinks on Maschine and do thinks more complicated.

[@anaphylastiks]

I bought maschine mk1 when it first came out, and continue to use it. I have a maschine studio too. I have never used the actual computer user interface to do anything. Took me 25 years to learn FL studio in depth, and still ain't even getting close to the complexity. I don't ever plan on using the NI maschine software computer interface. I think you guys should focus on incorporated screen on maschine like a laptop, and have a touch screen. This should have happened years ago.

[@NativeInstruments]

Thanks for sharing your feedback 🙏

[@bammo1988]

All these videos are so helpful because maschine is far too complicated for me

[@NativeInstruments]

Glad to hear you like them!

[@cozmicrahop9415]

As a south african producer who been making beats for years and recently delved into amapiano, i want to say this....."re squeezeng in le rena re kgone go tsena mo industring"

[@AveSongsmith]

The intention may have not been malicious; but just to demonstrate a workflow. However the execution is far from the style, it's actually not Amapiano at all. For some this inaccurate interpretation will be their introduction to the genre. Considering the historical nature of how black artists have routinely been exploited, sidelined and their music "white washed". The natural thing to do when an exciting new style emerges, birthed in the townships of South Africa by black youth with very little resources. Is to platform them and let them show you how it's actually done. Please do better next time. 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦

[@jolloffestival9123]

This, right here. Ha

[@andycordy5190]

My second time trough. I watched this before I understood the value of clips. I got very confused. Now I understand. The title is misleading IMHO. It's so powerful as a tutorial! What about "Creative use of clips. A groovy Amapiano track from scratch"

[@djyaslo]

Use SOUTH AFRICAN Producers who actually make Amapiano, this is NOT IT ...Respectively :(

[@ELLIOT8209]

The FM8 Logdrum is super different from the one in DX10. Try the free DDX10 vst if you don't use FL

If you were trying to imitate the amapiano log drum thats too far from reality..

This feels like an early 90s video.

[@SelfHealingRhythm]

What a horrible interpretation of amapiano. I’ve enjoyed these new tutorials but this one is the most disappointing by far

[@maramé.r]

Interesting informative video but that studio needs some heating. Making music in outdoor clothing is no fun

[@metvibe]

So are you telling us the great NATIVE INSTRUMENTS couldn't find a real AMAPIANO producer/DJ in South Africa? I like everything Native instruments, but this is very disrespectful to African music.

[@politicum8113]

US attacked Nord Stream and now NI is freezing

Guys you’re NI. Are you telling me you couldn’t find any actual Amapiano artists from South Africa to demo this?

[@DataScientist268]

Log Drum was completely off.

[@issiewizzie]

Complainer- I’m sure,an Amapiano artist will probably showcase in future expansions … This is just my opinion.

I love this tutorial cause you kick it as a beat maker ,you respect the workflow to make it , but amapiano is not from South Africa, is from Nigeria (west Africa) Africa is big with a lot of country ;-). every country have his specificity and there own pattern and subtlity.Peace out and enjoy music .

[@jolloffestival9123]

Amapiano is from South Africa, sir, chill. Lol

Lol his logdrums were also horrible.
