Literally the single most clear explanation of scenes, patterns, etc. I've ever seen. This cleared up a lot of lingering questions in my head and helped a lot of things finally 'click.'

[@jayfoster]

100% this

[@radpix]

Very true and helpful and finally makes me understand more the weird but also bam helpful structures of Maschine Just got my designed Mk3, really fun

[@TheWhistleMan]

Same!

[@dariofromthefuture3075]

Agreed

[@codename9988]

it taught me how to use the software. Jef is the man

[@bonniebartulovich4909]

Hours of tutorials and the first 2 minutes of this has already simplified everything SO MUCH! Legend!

[@jefgibbons]

Thanks Bonnie!!

[@leebrown143]

same here i couldnt find a video which showed how to create groups, scenes and to basically build a track its not that obvious in maschine compared to other DAW's

[@alexanderkollock3468]

Best explanation on arranging in maschine on KZbin.....thank you!!! Keep it coming!

[@jefgibbons]

Thanks so much Alexander, will do!

[@fishbear999]

@@jefgibbons First time I've REALLY understood this Jef - keep going because these are SO useful!

[@DoctorJRx]

agreed !! very comprehensive.. only other video is from NI and they only released that video in 2018

[@bjlevi5768]

agreed! subed

[@nmagain24]

Word.

[@rbouknight921]

I am new to Maschine. I've been watching dozens of videos trying to get helpful information on how to use the system. YOUR VIDEO IS THE BEST. The people from NI and other channel artists have not been clear about what's going on. They jump all around with no clear workflow pattern (at least not to this newbie), they move too fast (as if they don't want you to learn what they're doing) and they're camera shots and audio are not always in the best positions for one (me) to learn. Your video, on the other hand, is the absolute best instructional video that I've seen. You were concise, deliberate and you took time to explain and show what you were doing. Your words, your hands and your screen shots, etc. were always in sync. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. Now if youwcould just make a video on how to use Maschine Jam. Lol.

[@mellaytheghost]

"So let me just put in a pattern" plays a loop that would take me 4 hours to come up with

[@Emotionz223]

4 hours though lol

[@YungPlumber1]

Its just GOTTA be a faster way....

[@nonyabizness8692]

it always amazes me how simple songs sound so alive with the right arrangement.

[@WarrenSpelunker]

There are so many videos out there by people who seem to know what they're talking about, but finally here's one by somebody who knows how to talk about what they know. You're such a clear communicator.

[@jefgibbons]

Appreciate it Warren!

[@moibahsmenu1851]

Been feeling soo bad about not even producing one beat on my machine, now I finally get it! Thx boss!

[@jefgibbons]

Nice! Makes my day man, thanks!!

[@Jiiri]

Jef, thanks so much. I am a former professional trombonist trying to learn new ways to interact with music, and I bought a Maschine MK3 recently in order to play with samples and arranging in a more intuitive way than I was getting from my DAW. I have subscribed to multiple learning sites, ordered courses from Udemy, and watched dozens of KZbin videos in an attempt to learn more quickly. It has been tough, because most of the videos gloss over concepts that are taken for granted, or they blow through the concept so fast that I don't have time to understand it. Your videos are the first that move at a pace and with a clarity of communication that, for me, are the best available that I have encountered. Thank you so much. (I also picked up a Kontrol s61, so I hope you do videos on using that with Maschine Mk3 if you haven't already!) Thanks a ton, Jef. Music enriches lives in a non-trivial way, and these tools allow for a democrtization of music that further enriches lives. Facilitating that should make you feel like what you're doing matters, because it does.

[@jefgibbons]

Thanks for the great review! It really is incredible knowing that these videos are helping people out!

[@nomad3036]

So clear, so well made, NI themselves couldn't do a better job. Thank you! I wish Maschine was better integrated with Logic or Ableton.

[@BattleBrosGaming]

Agreed..it would be awesome if it could be exported directly to Ableton!

[@livingroomgroove]

Great job here... ONLY video on youtube that logically breaks it down.. thanks

[@hectorsalcedo1851]

One of the clearest, simplest, straight forward tutorial ever. Thanks a lot!!

[@malditoklee]

So grateful that I found your channel and this video, it finally all makes sense!!! Thank you!

[@jefgibbons]

+Bishop Bautista that’s so great to hear, thanks for posting!

[@malditoklee]

Jef Gibbons Can I ask you, do you find arranging music with a machine more efficient than just doing it in logic Pro X for ProTools? It seems like it requires you to take a lot of extra steps that you could do quite quickly in a straight linear the DAW? I’d love to get your take on that!

[@mike58greenberg]

This tutorial is a Godsend. I was feeling frustrated and now I can’t wait to jump back in!

[@yeahthatsonbrand]

I've been getting dizzy for years from all of the tutorials I've tried to learn from and ended up just making my own way but it never felt fluid or productive. With this tutorial I feel like I finally get how to use the software in the most efficient way. Thank you so much for making such a clear and easy to learn tutorial, felt like I was in a Masterclass!

[@Sol-In-Seoul]

Maschine is extremely confusing; not at all intuitive.

[@dragonprototype3883]

Finally someone that explains and makes it easy to understand. Does not stutter, pause or go off point. Thank you.

[@jefgibbons]

Thanks! I do a fair bit of editing out the ums to be honest though ;)

[@sherwinS_13]

Just got my MK3 literally two weeks ago, been watching a lot of KZbin videos on "how to" with the Maschine MK3... BUT this video is the first one that really explains how Maschine workflow works...THIS HELPED MORE then any other video I've watched so far...THANK YOU, Jeff!!!!

[@jefgibbons]

Glad to hear it Sherwin!

[@yodjjc1710]

This is by far the best tutorial on how to read ideas view and utilize it effectively!

[@griffinmusicinc]

I have watched many tutorials on this and this is by far the best understanding of the scenes, patterns, and append mode. Thank you!

[@jefgibbons]

You're welcome Curtis!

[@jimedwards4901]

This video has made me finalize my decision to buy an MK3. I thanked you by subscribing ✌️

[@jefgibbons]

Thanks Jim, much appreciated!

[@joeymc5272]

Best Tutorial i have seen in awhile. You literally explain everything perfectly in detail and simple terms for people to understand who are new or want to have a better workflow. Most youtube videos who write tutorial or beginners guide do not show step by step guides. They give broad explanations and just want you to watch them filming themselves making a beat. Awesome man. Definitely get a thumbs up for this one.

[@sandrashermanjazz]

As a graduaded jazz guitarist, I have a horizontal (song view) arrangement way of thinking. Your tutorial finally helped me understand working with ideas (patterns) in a vertical dimension. Highly appreciated! I can now enjoy my Maschine+. Thank you ❤️

[@jefgibbons]

Great to hear! Yeah, it’s a weird way to work at first!

[@hjkhhjkh3635]

Your comment helped me understand his video 😂

[@leebrown143]

this is by far the best beginners video av found, its exactly what i needed to know to start building a track and explained better and clearer than the rest. its thorough and explained simply, whereas others ive watched fail to break it down like this and assume you have a basic knowlege. i have looked high and to find a tutorial which showed how the arrangment is done in maschine. so thanks for this.

[@BreHill74]

I now know what was holding me back. I really appreciate your kindness. Thank you!!

[@stephanedeheselle8810]

It's the best tuto vid on youtube about Patterns, Scenes and arranging , thank you !

[@discjunkiesDGT]

DUDE!!!!! Finally, someone puts it together in a way we can get! Thank you~

[@SamSilk]

Man you have a talent to be clear and straight to the point, I like your videos. And your image quality is awesome.

[@ProdbyJoshMack]

Finally first time in years that someone explained it in simple terms

[@averagedudeusa9722]

every time I watch your video I learn something new and feel more empowered to play! Thanks Jef!

[@Duskybuka]

Once again, thank you so much! Your teaching style works so well for the way I learn. I have used my Mashine more the last few weeks then I have in the previous 12 months and that is all down to you! 😊

[@indradarni2232]

I just bought Maschine and had no idea how to use it. Watched many KZbin videos and finally I found this video that clearly explains everything. I now know how to start using my Maschine. Thanks!!!!!

[@jefgibbons]

+Indra Darni that’s great! Have fun!

[@indradarni2232]

Jef Gibbons you’re a genius really!

[@tytreats]

Thank you sooooo much...your the only one who really breaks this stuff down. Learn more from you than anyone else. More more more

[@sinitarium]

It is so enjoyable to learn from passionate people on youtube :-) Thanks again very much for you amazing tutorial videos! You really do have a gift for teaching this.

[@rbthaproducer]

I've watched hundreds of tutorials for Maschine and your tutorials are the easiest to understand. I have learned more in three of your videos than I have watching 10 other tutorials. Good job Jef

[@MCCollet]

I love the way you teach structure in context of use. As a newbie on Maschine this is priceless!

[@lyricalstorms]

Another great and helpful video. It's good to know I can count on you to deliver focused material without all of the extra jargon or crazy stuff..... clear and concise material with great screen views! Thank you. Please don't ever stop. I really need you. 😁

[@jasonmoody8265]

This video made maschine finally click for me! Jef is soo good at explaining things. Best explanation ever!

[@HardwareLust]

I've watched a good 1/2 dozen tutorials on this, and this is by far the clearest and easiest to understand one I've found. NI should hire you to do their tutorials Jef.

[@jefgibbons]

They keep trying to! I just don’t have time to do them… maybe in the future! (I love their stuff so I don’t mind doing them just for my channel)

[@ahaaha8753]

You are a great teacher. You know what are the essential topics to cover and how to explain them. Big thanks!

[@jefgibbons]

Thanks for commenting! Much appreciated

[@productpusher1]

Thank you for this. It feels like every other video skips steps or assumes that folks already know the little things. You explained it great!

[@jefgibbons]

+Ben Walton thanks so much Ben!

[@ron2298]

Thank you for these videos. You are a really good teacher. You explain every step in full and go over it a few times. Awesome thank you again. Stay safe

[@tcr333]

Jeff it's been an absolute pleasure watching your tutorial. You deserve far more views, the quality is outstanding. Thank you.

[@jefgibbons]

I appreciate it... but it seems to be growing every day, so I’ll keep at it!

[@clevelandrockmore656]

The BEST tutorial on creating scenes and patterns I have scene in 3 years! Thank you kind Sir!

[@richardwillis8726]

Awesome video, super clear and exactly what I needed. I've learned so much from your videos. Thanks a million Jeff!

[@leoglen6662]

Thank you. That’s by far the most easy to understand and concise explanation of the pattern and scenes modes I’ve seen on KZbin. You have a great way of teaching your know how. You’ve totally changed the way I now work on this wonderful machine...sorry, Maschine. I’ll definitely check all your other Maschine tutorial videos and will be sure to subscribe.

[@jollygoodtime9197]

Probably the second channel I’ve ever subscribed to in 10+ years. You’re an absolute legend and a saint.

[@chenchaso39]

OK so new to Maschine here and i have to say im glad this video is still up. This is the clearest and most easiest video i have been able to find that i can finally say (without trying yet) that i can now understand how to arrange and complete a beat on maschine. Thank you for this.

[@aleksandrakuczynska8334]

Jef, the best explanation how to work with machine. It's so easy. Thank you very much. I recommend to anyone who begins the adventure with Maschine.

[@JonMurray]

Another awesome video Jef! Learning loads from these! Keep up the great work!

[@darylw-m9549]

Thanks for the video Jef. I really appreciate the clear explanations and you sharing the way you create songs.

[@user-cw4uv3ki7z]

I don't give you this much information on machines in private lessons, but thank you for giving me the details. I will buy a beer when you come to Korea.

[@jefgibbons]

Might just take you up on that! Been to Japan many times, Taiwan a few, Korea is next on my list!

[@angelmolines2040]

I've found these tutorials very useful I'm considering to buy the MK3, so I decided to do some research when I found these series They give a very clear idea of the capabilities and posibilites of the MK3 specially for the people who has no experience on the field. 1000 thanks Jef!

[@stephanmarkgraf825]

Hi Jeff, just wanted to thank you for this outstanding tutorial.I've just bought the Maschine Mikro, got it two days ago and thanks to your tutorial I've been able to actually create music and arrange it.Thank you so much and keep up the good work

[@XHuntinatorX]

This helped a lot... putting the operations in context and not just doing the " This button does this, this one does this..." method. Maschine is an awesome tool. There is a lot under the hood.

[@jefgibbons]

+XHuntinatorX for sure, thanks for the comment!

[@gregthill6139]

Jeff, such get vids, I was about to sell my mashine but you have brought new hope. Can't tell you how refreshing these videos have been so far, unlike most I have watch that just want to either show off their talents or hook me into buying something. Either way you don't really learn much. So again bravo and I look forward to more of your wonderful tutorials.

[@DoctorJRx]

maschine is alot of fun !! don't sell unless you going mk2 to mk3 ... I use it like a sketch pad or could do an entire track in it. I also like how you can use any plugin within it !!!

[@damonsiegiel7855]

Jeff you're killing me man. Every day I'm putting in work on the Machine and every video I learn another short cut from your vids. THANK YOU !
