[@iamrocketray]

Got my Maschine + 3 days ago and this is the first vid that makes sense and explains properly how to arrange a song without using a DAW, so Many thanks Man, you helped me get over a hurdle that was starting to bug me.

[@mr.amazing.speaks]

I really needed this. I have bought courses and watched countless videos. This is the only one that makes sense to me and is easy to understand.... thank you.

[@Landmarq]

Glad this could help!!

[@backstreetbeats2716]

Good video bruh but I’ve got a question. What happened to your sister she was supposed to come back on and we haven’t seen her since the first time? She got some talent. Don’t sleep on her!

[@camp7203]

The most thoughtful, logical approach to working in Maschine. You should work for NI.

[@Landmarq]

Thank you. I appreciate this so much

[@upnokshius]

this is the best workflow tutorial for Machine I have seen, and I've spent a good part of the last few weeks looking believe me. Sounds make up groups, groups make up patterns and patterns, scenes. The way you set it up made it all make sense. Thanks so much for this.

[@DONTWATCHTHATYEAH]

Thank you so much for this, I've has sat through MANY hours looking for some simple advice about scenes, you've really helped me out with your explanation.

[@kennethbullock3765]

I come from a keyboard workstation environment and recently bought a Maschine. I have been bangin my head against the wall trying to get the same vibe I get from my board with this piece of equipment and been searching for a tutorial like this for two months. Thank you and yes, yo ass does need to work for NI. Their own tutorials suck sh!t compared to what you are doing. It seems as though all the other tutorials just give you enough to somewhat understand but, not enough to do anything good, like the teacher does not want the student to grow type sh!t, know what I mean? this is a great tutorial my G. Keep the flow goin.

[@angelbrand6734]

I always thought I was always working way to much to get some small transitions and maybe even small textures here and there till I literally just watched this. Now I realize other that work in your daw this is just the way to do it. I'm glad. This motivates me more to work harder thanks.

[@soundmathematicsmusic]

Hey @landmarq, to rid the silence at the end, just drag your loop points a bit past the end of you song, then export. Also, instead timing the cutoff for a buildup to drop, just use "gate" mode instead of loop mode in the sampler (press and hold the pad to play the sample, then release when you want the sound to cutout. If you didn't know these two tricks, I hope this helped. ✌🏾

[@Landmarq]

Thank you!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@soundmathematicsmusic]

@@Landmarq your welcome beatfam 🙏🏾

[@Nit3Guy]

im still new to this. what do you mean by loop points ?

[@soundmathematicsmusic]

@@Nit3Guy when "loop" activated, you'll see a grey bar above your scenes, that grey bar is your "loop points". You can drag to adjust what you want to loop. Hope that helped.

[@musikone1780]

Thank you for the tips.

[@leotapia399]

Man, i been watching your videos like 5 years! Always on the point! 👌

[@arcanebeats_]

I watched 100 maschine videos and this is literally the only one that helped me. Thank you x1000

[@Landmarq]

Glad I could help!!!

[@CorneliusKatz]

Thank you for that in depth explanation! I just got the MK3 about a week ago and its still kinda confusing. These kinds of videos help me a lot to get to know different workflows and therefore finding my own. Love the EP btw! 💪🏼✨

[@CokFamous]

I think using machine is a lot faster 😁 it just has to be broken down the right way for us to understand it. A lot of my friends told me I should start making tutorials as well on it. I think I will really start to listen to them and help you guys out also 😊 have a nice day and keep producing!

[@b1exican]

Mann, thanks for simplifying idea mode. Your perspective is clutch.

[@kavehteimori9575]

Thank you for this tutorial, insightful and inspirational!

[@gphiproductions]

Thanks for explaining this. 👊🏽 I'm new to Maschine 2 software and it's very confusing to me. 😧 Still working on trying to understand it. 🤔

[@CokFamous]

[@A4ANT]

How’d you get on. Haven’t used reason for over 1 years, thinking of getting Maschine

[@basscliff55]

It’s been about 4 months now that I’ve put my Machine back in the box 📦 and said forget it, I can’t understand how this damm thing works. But thanks 🙏🏾 to your explanation of your work flow, I’m taking it back out and start all over again. Thank you for not only putting this out but explaining in something simple details your work flow. I really appreciate that bro.👍🏾

[@Landmarq]

Sometimes I take my workflow for granted. I’ve used this for so long that I forget that there are people that haven’t used it before and need things broken down. Glad I could help in some way 🙏🏽

[@harrythompson9315]

Keep it up man machine is amazing once you get it down. It was very frustrating for me at first I almost sold it. Trust me if I can do it you can do it too

[@unknownakuma6599]

Damn bro, this video really helped me understand maschine a whole lot better! Great work! Now it's time to work on some sweet beats.

[@corlinpullen8758]

I love that beat, this is my 5th time playing it. I will definitely get the Mikro Mk3 👌

[@EnioBeatzOfficial]

Thank you for this tutorial, this video helped me understand Maschine much better. Greet Job

[@अमनचोपड़ा]

I used Machine Jam yesterday properly for the first time and I really wanted to know how other producers arrange without exporting stems. Thank You for this video man. Keep creating.. I will listen EP now. Cheers!!!

[@Sinosure]

OMG!!! The way you work in Maschine is a MIRROR to my style of working in Maschine!! We do the SAME EXACT THING bruh!! I thought I was the only one putting midi at the end of patterns to make transitions!! You basically make the whole pattern, then erase from the front of it all the way till almost the end! DAMN!! I do this a lot to create "drops"!! With Maschine you can press play & physically "mute" things & bring them back in, but you can't record mutes like that unless I'm missing something.🤷🏿‍♂️ And the Audacity thing!! I do that too!! I experience the same thing where there's 5 to 10 seconds of dead space at the end of each beat I do!! So I take it into Audacity, just like you & edit that space at the end!! That's crazy!! If you haven't heard of The Producers Corner challenge, I do it almost every week because it's a weekly sample challenge. And when I make those beats, I have to do that just about every time. Take it into Audacity & eliminate that dead space at the end before I submit the beat in mp3 form. Wow, I didn't know there were others experiencing Maschine the same way I do!! I like Maschine in standalone, but if they make a few more changes, it'll be straight!! Great video!! Wow, I thought I was the only one!!😁😁😁😁

[@jayfarrell9723]

Yo my man that was a good tutorial. I haven't dived into the ideas/scene relationship yet. I especially like the transition part you showed from one scene to another. thanks again & keep up the great work.

[@jeremyrodriguez9828]

I LOVE YOU FOR THE MXWLL VYNIL IN THE BACKKK (he's one of my favorite producers)

[@DopamineOverload]

Great vid man! I'm finally understanding more about Maschine and arranging in it. I used to despise Ideas view until I finally understood how to use it. Thanks to DDS, Grits & Gravy, and your vid... it all finally makes sense. The key to getting the most out of arranging in Maschine is NAMING the Scenes, the Groups and the Patterns... and using the mouse even a little bit.... something I always neglected doing. Once this is done, everything is so much smoother. Thanks again, Landmarq! Also, recently subscribed to you. Really enjoy your content.

[@professionalhater2809]

I liked how you explained how you do the transitions in maschine , I found myself having to do the same. Why do you send out the finished beat to be master by a third party? Can't it be done in Maschine? Who do you use and why?

[@seriouz_d]

Nice video. Good to see that i‘m not the only one working like this in Maschine SW. Keep it up. Peace from Germany ✌🏼

[@theofiliorga1785]

Great job man this is the best video explanation about machine mk3 ever!

[@rubadubgavle]

Thank you so much dude for this great tutorial!!

[@renagarcia6433]

thank you so much for this man. by far the greatest tutorial on Maschine I've seen

[@16BarIndonesia]

So good to see you back on these videos man, love from Bali

[@PlayExe-jl5fi]

The example track has such a great vibe to it. Thank you for sharing!

[@DjDubStak]

This was really exciting. I'm new to Maschine and music production. I really gotta learn how to do those transitions. That was cool.

[@alroccbeatz788]

Dope tutorial bro..coming from mpc maschine can be a bit overwhelming..but your video explain the issue I was having with ideas mode and patterns thanks bro💪🏾

[@djITALYLaChanceDeGonza]

I never use that way, but you made it look way better. Good looks & EP is dope! Thanks Marques#! G!

[@Adam-franka]

Simple and great, thank you 🙏

Man appreciate it 🫡 definitely one of the better tutorials

[@SiRReiLL]

OMG, I SO LOVE MASCHINE. SO FUN TO MESS AROUND AND SAMPLE WITH IT!! :D

[@damelos4039]

Interesting video. Thanks. I was wondering how you might do this while in Maschine. You're right though, transferring to audio and working in a DAW would be easier.

[@IasonXexakis]

I just want to thank you man! Super comprehensive and helpful! You deserve my subscription!

[@Landmarq]

Thank you 🙏🏽 🙏🏽

[@IasonXexakis]

@@Landmarq I saw you in a video with other beat makers in That Berlin thing 2019! How awesome was that!!!

[@SiRReiLL]

Thanks Bro. Very Helpful. I just got a Maschine myself and I'm a lil ecstatic.

[@SiRReiLL]

unfortunately, I can't do anything right now til I get a new computer cuz the one I am using is only 4GB of RAM. lol

[@jaydub7776]

Thank you my brotha! I'm new to the Machine software. never been on it nor the hardware. and by me following you through the process.....it's really cool I really understand the concept. I'm a reason logic and protools user. I wanted to get more sounds and things in my collection box and decided to try native instruments out and I'm digging it so far. thanks for the big help! :} I have been fallowing you for a long time also you do very nice work love the music you do and the help you put out thanks again!!

[@official_kemist]

Bro I’m new to maschine only been a couple months I definitely dig it so far I use it to build my beats in my home production lab but I still use protools I’m the big studio can you please do a video showin how to get them into protools?

[@lowwcookproduction5845]

Really good video. I've been trying to start using this DAW more but without a NI controller it's a headache lol. But It looks like my main workflow for beats will always be FL studio. Machine is dope though.

[@AChi__]

Great vid man. Keep them coming fam 👍🏽👍🏽

[@715keeks2]

THANK YOU SO MUCH! this was insanely helpful

[@fabiwasabi7787]

very useful information, thanks man!

Thank you so much. I learned a lot.

[@jeremiahshepherd81]

This is fantastic information; thanks for providing. You got a new fan in me :)

[@leviprentice5689]

Idea mode seems pretty dope especially if you're REALLY unsure of how you want to lay out your beat 👨🏾‍🦱👍🏾

[@markfletcherakadjfletchfla1537]

Thank you for this bro 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@felixstrange5158]

you helped me so much thanks for the video!

[@Dewabarasunderan]

Nice workaround. My songs always lacked transitions cause of the maschine workflow.

[@Landmarq]

With the new clips feature, you don’t have to do these work arounds now, but you still can do them this way

[@DAllanRixxTV]

How do you get your Metronome to do a 3 count before it begins and you record? Mines starts recording automatically for some reason. I am obviously a beginner btw lol.

[@everythingrandmallc6704]

Setup in preferences you will see in record tab.

[@kettlecup]

Shift and record does a count in

[@everythingrandmallc6704]

He is talking about in the preferences window. The general tab is where you set up Metronome and if you would like things like quantize on or off during record

[@alienforce7688]

Wow! Glad i found your channel really nice EP btw👍

[@marcos22571]

Thanx now I can arrange my music.

[@aletsiz77]

so cool bro, thanks for sharing

[@Dissonantgamer]

Hey bro! Bad ass Tutorial. Honestly is very useful to see another artist's perspective on this DAW. I do have a question. When you were recording this video, how did you get the audio from your Maschine 2 to go to both your headphones and into the recording? are you using a 3rd party audio drive like blackhole or somethings? would be great for some help on this. For some reason this shit does not want to work for me lol.

[@ww3rd]

Your album was beautiful ⭐️

[@marcos22571]

Thank you for showing us about the second pattern trick. Marquees.

[@marcos22571]

Thank you so much. Oh by the way theres a fire burning down here in Phoenix, AZ maybe you can help aswell man. We need all firefighters as possible. Thank you!

[@MakingMadBeats]

Just listened to the "From The Soul EP"! Nice one ❤️🔥! Is this available as FLAC somewhere, e.g. on Bandcamp? THX My workflow on building a song in Maschine is quite the same. Although I name my Scenes and patterns, e.g. Intro, Verse, Variation, Hook, Break, Outro. Transitions is really annoying in Maschine. It really gets frustrating when you have elements that start into one scene that should blend over to the next scene, like rises, vocals, cuts. Another big feature for arranging would be if NI finally implemented the ability to record pad and sc ene mutes and allow us to use Perform FX not only on group level.

[@hakdwak]

boss i learned a lot!! thanks

[@elgee7255]

Awesome man Thankyou..😃

[@chriswalsh5925]

After watching this video I understand the logic behind ideas/scenes/arrangement more: basically ideas mode should have been called 'scene design mode'... instead of scene1/2/3 if you imagine scene names as 'intro, verse1, chorus1'... then 'ideas' mode is basically designing the intro scene, designing the verse scene, designing the chorus scene etc... then arrangement view is really how you place your scenes to build the final composition. When you think of it like that it totally makes sense. It's actually a pretty good system, because you can go back to change your verse1 scene and it will update in your final arrangement (if you re-used verse1 twice for instance). I remember when they first introduced scenes mode I was like 'no this is horrible!'.. now it makes sense.

[@aphzalart411]

you make the whole thing in Maschine - does that include mixing and mastering ? Im stuck at how to go about truely "finishing" my songs by at least mixing but im unsure on how to go about it. does it produce decent results/is it a cardinal producer sin to doing in maschine or are you better off using Logic ?

[@MITTEL.PUNKT_13]

Landmarq is ... amazing till germany

[@trapptunezz4512]

Hi love your videos how do I set chords mode keep doing videos I’m a big supporter

[@kolibri_at1591]

Thank you for this helpfull video :)

[@wonderchild53]

I am using an A-25 ...thanks for this but if you could use that as a Controller it may help faster...

[@damelos4039]

Where do you send for mastering...what service? So many people do it themselves (especially at your high skill level), just curious why and where you send it.

[@JustDoitMen]

Men u helped alot!!! Big thx

[@NurseMasterCharlieRN]

HELP!!! Thanks for the tutorial!!! ONE question....I followed everything you did, except use a drum kit from my instruments...and made a beat, patterns, in the scenes. When I tried to open arranger mode, and click to add the patters/scenes, it would not open any drop boxes. Is / are there any particular settings in preferences that could be blocking me from doing that??? I'm super NEW to this Maschine world!

[@JTDoubleO8]

Dope! Thanks for the Refresher, as well as your presentation of new techniques. ✌️ (Did you use three of the same hihats on the same row for finger drumming)

[@CarolineJones1994]

Do you select loop optimize when exporting? That might get rid of the dead space at the end

[@dmitrylyubosey9842]

Thanks, man

[@babymixswing2269]

11:00 What is the shortcut key for doubling the pattern? on the keyboard. Or how to click in the maschine software??

[@ww3rd]

Thank you for this info! Very helpful ✨ Quick question, you send your WAV file to get mastered or the complete maschine file?

[@Landmarq]

I send the .wav file

[@komplex_the_producer2819]

Do you know how to do drops in machine?. Is it possible to add effects like the sp would be my second question.

[@Semyaj3]

Thx 4 The Tops

[@arcademcFLy]

do you know how to add the restart button into your scene ??? like if i press restart in sync at the beginning of a song 4 times as an intro then let it play do you know how to add in the restart intro into a scene ???

Cool 😎 great lesson thank you Peace

[@ericzehendner8128]

[@godreign9556]

lovely, please what is the make of you headphone thanks

[@alehope6779]

But the problem is in the maschine standalone: if you got a sample at the end of a pattern for example with a delay and its jumping into the next scene, the delay will disappear. how are you going to fix this problem? you did it with the sample GROUP A - 16, but its not working in my software. i got this problem for years now..

[@jeromewallace1038]

Hello I have a question to ask at the end of the video you exported the song file from maschine into audacity to remove the dead space. Why did you choose audacity instead of a daw to perform the task?

[@nomadptgalexandrecarvalho2133]

Audacity it's a Daw, a basic and free one, but it is a Daw.

[@unitedmogulmediagroup]

Do you mix it at all and if so I'm assuming you do it in Maschine?

[@Landmarq]

I usually mix in pro tools. But can be done in Maschine for sure
