Maschine Clips Hot Tip: Comp audio like a pro!

[@elketerbentzadik]

Okay, this is something nobody else has done a tutorial on. Nice work. And thank you!

[@vumixHD]

YOU SHOULD HAVE A LOT MORE SUBS. YOUR TEACHING IS VERY GOOD AND QUALITY IS ON POINT.

[@DennnisDubeau]

You're definitely helping me and all of us here... you deserve your equipment!!!! You're experienced and it shows...!!

[@cbf2thinkaname]

I feel like I have learned such a useful skill for all my music production from just 13 minutes. Thank you very much for making this!

[@jefgibbons]

Thanks!! So glad it helped…

[@MakingMadBeats]

A very interesting approach to comp takes. I would have never thought of using the gate function for that but instead would have worked with start end endpoints of the different samples. But your method seems to be quicker. THX, Jeff!

[@WaveBits]

This is extremely useful. I enjoy your videos a bunch. Especially when it’s centered around maximizing Native Instruments products to get the most out of them.

[@jefgibbons]

Thanks Cory!

[@m_smart]

You are second to none, when it comes to explaining this. i have really learned a lot from you. thank you!!

[@fiscaldisco5234]

Thank you so much! That would’ve saved me an hour yesterday trying to get a perfect 2 minute keyboard take.

[@AnjaEve]

Awesome, I'll definitely try this out! Your tips are pure gold for vocalists working with Maschine!! I bought the MK3 a while ago, because of one of your videos (where you showed how to record with monitoring FX.) Now with the new clips feature I'm even more committed to learning what I can do with it. So fun! Thank you!

[@mxo1210]

Thanks for doing this tutorial. Also finally know how to use the fades to fade out samples! Awesome!

[@kronos893]

Dude... you're a true hero for explaining these very specific feature of Machine. Keep it going!

[@SONWU]

Exactly what I was looking for. Looking forward to applying this to my vocals when my Maschine+ arrives! Thanks for the video :)

[@jefgibbons]

Look Wu it is!! Looking forward to the vids, I'm a big fan of your channel ;)

[@SONWU]

@@jefgibbons Thank you, likewise!

[@RickN_007]

Thank you Jef! Appreciate all you do! Clip creating/ editing on Maschine can be frustrating, you make it easier for us...👍

[@EncounterCaneCorso]

Thanks Jef. This will really help my workflow on Maschine Plus.

[@joshuadavid1804]

Hell yes! Been waiting for this video. Excellent work keep it up man!

[@jefgibbons]

Thanks Joshua, will do!

[@muitosabao]

This is a great idea. I've been recording a lot of vocals, so this will be super handy! Just one suggestion, you can record directly to audio device and so separate sounds (since you had it set to sampler). Select loop mode, then instead of take choose sound.

[@jefgibbons]

Good suggestion!

[@Martin1519]

Thank you. I already knew a lot about clips, but this video taught me a lot about clips I didn’t know yet. It really was such an awesome video. Do you think you can make a tutorial on how to layer vocals in Maschine? For example make a chorus sound like a crowd of people, or just simply enhance vocals with layering?

[@lrojas305]

Dude, This is exactly what I was trying to figure out. Thank you for this!

[@chrisrobinson4154]

You are the best! Really appreciate all your tutorials

[@elchorepunk]

Great video as usual Jef! Cant´wait for the next video about clips. Thanx a lot bro

[@azziz4biz]

Thank you Jeff, I appreciate all of you're insight and great work.

[@julienDrcq]

Okay, this is something nobody else has done a tutorial on i will ove to see more tutorial on machine with clip mode editing recording audio instruments and vocals PLEASE THANKS

[@morgan8937]

TY Jef, just come from your very helpful patterns and scenes tutorial. I heard that they introduced clips at a later date. Where is a good place to start finding out about clips, tutorial-wise, for someone who is unfamiliar. Can't thank you enough for sharing how things work in such an un-convoluted, clear-cut, and systematic kind of way! Happy holidays to you!

[@coreybarnett7659]

Nice tip thanks Jef.

[@KaitavSapreMusic]

Just brilliant. Thank you for this great tip, Jef!

[@reubenmckenna732]

So helpful. Thanks for these tutorials Jeff!

[@julienDrcq]

I Hill love to see more contente like that on Maschine something that NI doesn't show, we need more content on record instrument on Maschine

[@czemail]

Hey Jeff, been looking for a full tutorial on CLIPS mostly based around hands-on with the hardware MK3 controller. I’m really trying to use the software interface as less as possible. I really love your video… thx so much!

It's neat that you can do something like this in Maschine now, but as a Cusbase user you know how much easier this is in Cubase.

[@davidleasterlingjr2038]

[@IamNiiTeiko]

excellent video @jef. excellent

[@petrknedlik]

Great video once again! :) I wish in new maschine DAW it will be possible to do this more easily. Compared to e.g. Cubase, Fl Studio etc this is just soo slow to do.

[@thewzmusic]

Great tutorial as always!

[@MoorishNoble]

Damn Jeff you jamming on that guitar!

[@JoshElliottMusic]

This looks very useful! I’ll have to try it on the Maschine +

[@WONDERMALT]

definitely more producers need to know about comping.

[@jefgibbons]

definitely an essential skill!

[@TheBiggerNoise]

Nice video, Jef. One thing that I have noticed is that having the second group to house Guitar Rig may not be needed any more. I just put GR6 on the group and can hear the effects while recording and the recorded audio is dry. So, I think I am getting the same results with a little less setup. Please, let me know if you think that I might have missed something.

[@GarfRichards]

Great video as always, Jef 🤙

[@jefgibbons]

Thanks Garf!

[@TSOmac]

Thanks again Jef.. You're the best!

[@jefgibbons]

Appreciate the support as always!

[@DUVI1974]

Hey, awesome video’s! I from Belgium and have my maschine+ only for two months now. I’m still figuring it out but your video’s are a real help in that proces. You mentioned in this video that you will record a video focussing on Clips. Any idea when? I’m struggling with clips, mainly in the standalone mode. I want to exclude the pc a much as possible and work standalone. Anticipating your video on that! Keep it up!

[@Yahoomediaclub]

Awesomely Cool 🎸

[@EricRabb]

Very informative sir!

[@YouriBotterman]

Thanks for that super useful tutorial !!

[@WilmarBoer]

This is such a great tutorial! Thank you! I’m still having difficulty with recording a vocalist track. And with that I mean the recording process instead of the comping. In a ‘normal’ DAW you can punch in and out and start and stop recording at any moment in the timeline. But when I got a song length clip for the vocal track I can’t let the singer quickly re-sing (is that english?) parts like overdubbing a bridge or repairing a high note and start just a measure before that. Are there ways in Maschine to record like that? Now I just let the vocalist sing the whole song a few times as a workaround and comp the good bits out. It would be awesome if you could invite a vocalist or gitarist in your studio and record a whole track with hem/her to see the process. And thanks again, you have a talent for explaining!

[@jefgibbons]

You should be able to start anywhere and punch in… I’ll have to take a look!

[@WilmarBoer]

@@jefgibbons Thanks! I did look into it today but can't get it to work. Starting halfway a pattern and record new audio always replaces the sounds current audio and puts it at the beginning of the pattern.

[@raymeda]

Hi, your video is very good! I have a question, how did you do to enlarge the "Sound" boxes? The zoom on the 16 sounds.I don't speak English well, I hope you understand me ... Thank you very much

[@GodzillaGoesGaga]

Excellent. This is exactly what I'm after.

[@studiodude1711]

How did you get all of your takes? Did you have to record the first, stop, hit start on sample and start again over and over? I can’t tell, but it would be amazing if there was a mode where you could play take after take (until you hit stop) and have each take automatically be assigned to the next sound slot.

[@MRThomaster007]

Hey Jef, awesome video! I do have one small point though: Instead of using the internal sampler to record your comped take, you can use the pattern audio export button all the way to the right of the software (the squiggly wave next to the pattern length) to export the audio of your pattern/clip. This could save you some time :)

[@jefgibbons]

Thanks! I did look for that icon as I use it in the ideas mode all the time, but I couldn't see it in the clips arranger window. Am I missing something?

[@MRThomaster007]

@@jefgibbons My bad, I use it all the time as well, but that's with patterns. I'm also missing the export button in the arranger view when working with clips... I haven't used the clips that much, so I thought the button would be there as well. I hope that's something that NI will add in the future then, because it would speed up the clip workflow.

[@jefgibbons]

@@MRThomaster007 Yeah, I definitely looked for it, it seems essential to me as well!

[@muitosabao]

Yeah it's not available in clips unfortunately. Hopefully it's coming.

[@simonc8265]

Thankyou for putting up. been wondering if clips could be used for comp swiping. really good demo. I have an old boss br1200 studio in a box. as soon as clips came out it felt like this would make maschine + into a 21st century recording studio in a box. takes it completely away from EDM. hugely powerful.

[@MickBenjamins]

Awesome video!

Thanks brother!

But I want to make backing tracks from anything I like n play guitar over it

[@iiaaiiaannaaiiaaii]

Hey Jef, Thank you for this series of Maschine videos, it was actually watching them that tipped the scales in favor of getting an M+. I have an odd question and you seem like the person that might have an answer . Is there a way to sequence clips on Maschine via external hardware?

[@pierrefitch]

I can’t get my guitar sound to work it’s plugged into mic output and I turned on the monitor on but all I hear is feedback from laptop mic but can’t hear my guitar 🎸 i hear there a way to routing audio some how to hear it hope you can help

[@magnuseriksson8081]

I would like to understand how you can convert a vocal pattern to a clip and use it along with the whole song in Maschine plus, without using the software on your computer? I got this vocal pattern that is really long and if I use that in the scene it will be a very long scene and I do not get the changes on the song that I want. Please show how it all can be done within the Maschine Plus

[@samprock]

Interesting. Looks like more creating process, than just a mouse in daw. I usually just leave original chops without bouncing, religiously. Though I missed the part with recording. Do I just continually record in loop and Maschine spreads takes over the pads to do what you did? TNX!

[@torymayek3226]

Thanks Jef - Quick question... I'm trying to manipulate my audio files. But I've found that once I turn my samples to audio files, to time stretch, the audio file defaults to starting on the one. I can no longer draw it in or place it where i once could if it was a sample. How do i change this? Please Help!

[@kielhall8363]

Jeff, what’s the difference between re- recording the clips and dragging a audio file from the group?

[@thomasdelfs]

Thanks Prof G! With Maschine finally getting Clips, I’m at a bit of a crossroad: carry on learning how to work with both Maschine and my DAW (LPX) for finishing, or persist with learning the intricacies of Maschine as it evolves into a fully fledged DAW (as rumour has it)? As a newbie, I’m now not entirely sure which option I should invest my time in. Thanks in advance for your advice!

[@jefgibbons]

Honestly, you can't go wrong working with both. Just keep writing music, and let your style of music dictate which platform works best. I still do all of my sound design and video composition in Cubase for obvious reasons. But I love creating music in Maschine the most!

[@thomasdelfs]

@@jefgibbons thank you, makes sense. All the best and look forward to more of your fun and super helpful videos.

For a stand alone it seems to me your using a lot of computer, or is that just a monitor somehow hooked up to the M+?

No, if I’m using only M+ standalone the videos have no monitor. Just to be clear you CAN use M+ with the computer just like a regular Maschine MK3…
