Making a deep acid house track on the Maschine MK3

[@spikemoss]

If I’ve learned anything from instagram it’s that the plant on the desk is a prerequisite to making good music.

[@DjHilarioV]

Watching this vid reminds me how much I miss my Maschine MK2. Nice job!

[@PeterRobotMusic]

Thanks man! 🙏 I'm sure it misses you too

[@louissman]

Thx man! I can really progress on the maschine with your vids! I got mine for about 2 months and it is so cool to see your jobs

[@PeterJoslynHarris]

Great to see you back producing! And seeing your procedure always inspires me to do something right now instead of just thinking about it.

[@PeterRobotMusic]

Yo Peter! Yeah I've been eager to get another video out. Let's kick it sometime!

[@PeterJoslynHarris]

Definitely! This week is great for me if you're free. And I finally have a track I'm happy enough to ask for your feedback if you're willing. 🙏

[@PeterRobotMusic]

@@PeterJoslynHarris I should be free most evenings this week - Also yeah send me that track, I'll be happy to give you some feedback!

[@joaosousa-tj9un]

Nice one!!! What course did you enrolled in?

[@PeterRobotMusic]

@@joaosousa-tj9un Thank you! I took a course at IO Music Academy in LA called Claim Your Sound

how the mud do you do this i need a lesson

[@deniswastaken]

after listening AFX's analord series, I was looking for something similar to it for days and now I have found something that matches it's vibe, I was creating sample based music and now transitioning to acid house for a change, I was not able to find any good tutorials for it, I really appreciate this video, it helped me alot. Do you have any other similar videos which might help me? I would love to watch them too. Thanks.

[@PeterRobotMusic]

Glad you dug it! I don't have anything else on acid house specifically, I'm also not sure where there are other tutorials on the genre, it's a little less common. The song in my video "Track from scratch on Maschine MK3 - minimal tech house" has kind of a similar vibe though, and I go into a little more depth in the walkthrough so that might help

[@deniswastaken]

@PeterRobotMusic I only have one question, let's see whether you know about it or not, afx's made entire analord series with hardware sequencing ( or atleast that's what many people say ( on reddit )), so how come the sounds are constantly evolving rather than repeating his drum patterns are very minimal and groovy in the entire series so I just wanted to understand the thought process behind his acid house style creation, like it consumes almost 80% of my brain all the time but I still haven't received a good answer because Mr. James prefers to live a quiet life so no-one really knows well.

[@PeterRobotMusic]

@@deniswastaken Hm. Yeah I haven't read up on the equipment RDJ used for the Analord series. But I can say that hardware sequencing is very capable of creating a lot of infinitely evolving sounds if you're using the right hardware, so it wouldn't surprise me too much that he did it all on hardware. As for his though process, if we only knew.

Nice bro, just got the Standalone and I make House, Hip Hop and Jungle. What course did you do. Love this bro keep up the great work and don't worry about what people say about Splice they all use it trust me mate they just want to try and stop your progression.

[@PeterRobotMusic]

Dope! I did a creativity/workflow course at IO Music Academy in LA. Thanks for the love man!

[@phooka]

Fantastic breakdown and nice incite on how to structure a song. Arranging is kind of odd in the Maschine DAW.

[@PeterRobotMusic]

Thanks! Arrangement is completely unintuitive in the Maschine DAW... they did not nail the design on that section unfortunately. I definitely do most of my arrangement in Ableton

[@AKU1911AKU]

Yeah ima need a step by absolute step idk what a bus is but that’s the sound I’m lookin for

[@xcvc777]

I would love to see guided detailed tutorials. Good work.

[@PeterRobotMusic]

Thanks! I've been thinking about doing some talk tutorials where I walk through with a lot more detail.

[@alsimonuk]

@@PeterRobotMusic Yes please do!!!

[@matthewbushkes420]

Very nice, did you use any expansions?

[@PeterRobotMusic]

Nope, just samples and Massive in this one

[@h-dawg969]

Do you bounce out each instrument as stems and do mixing and final edits in another Daw or do you get your whole arrangement done within Maschine?

[@PeterRobotMusic]

For now, I do the whole arrangement in Maschine. Whenever I finish & release some of these tracks, I'll bounce out the stems to Ableton for a final mix

[@h-dawg969]

@@PeterRobotMusic sweet. I can get a really nice main part of a track going. & then can play with muting groups or individual pads etc to begin to lay out an arrangement but haven’t learnt how to actually arrange it all out yet via scenes, patterns, timeline... Do you post any tutorials or anything? Would love to see you go through the process from the initial main loop to an actual arrangement. Really nice couple of jams you’ve posted bud. Cheers. ;)

[@PeterRobotMusic]

@@h-dawg969 Thanks man! Glad you're liking the jams. I do actually have a tutorial on arrangement in Maschine: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iIC9qYqijteqfa8&ab_channel=PeterRobot I'm definitely thinking about making more tutorials on specific production concepts like this :)

Dope as usual! I’m always looking for new content from you, I’m a bit late on this one lol. What course were you taking?

[@PeterRobotMusic]

Oh thanks glad you dug it! It was a creativity / production methods course called Claim Your Sound at IO Music Academy

[@danielrobinson6204]

@@PeterRobotMusic Sweet! I’ll definitely check this out! Thanks for sharing and thank you for always inspiring 💪🏾🔊🔊🔊

[@piotrkowalewicz9494]

so sick !!!! Nice work :)

[@samritter7057]

Can you make some progressive house or Melodic Techno? Will love to see it on machine !

[@PeterRobotMusic]

Definitely started to write a couple melodic techno tunes here and there, might see what I can do on the maschine

[@king6463]

What's that bass used on the 5.08 mark called?

[@PeterRobotMusic]

It's called BouncyBassOneShot from a sample pack called Triad Bass House One Shots - it's an external sample

[@DJ_TideWave]

Love this! Sound so good! Subbed! 😊

[@Unifono2012]

Nice

[@alsimonuk]

Nice job Peter, great insight into seeing the mk3 work in a project. I wonder if you did the sidechaining in the mk3 or in a DAW?

[@PeterRobotMusic]

Thanks! I do the sidechaining in the mk3. I'll use the internal compressor or the NI buss compressor, and set it to sidechain to the kick.

[@pascalchyba9256]

Nice
