For anyone having problems setting Machine MK3 up from when you first get it here is a Tutorial covering everything you need to do to get it to make sound and making your first beat. kzbin.info/www/bejne/m4rYkodtgtSKa5Y

[@doinitforthestreets]

This tutorial is SIGNIFICANTLY better than NI's tutorial videos which for a beginner are virtually unusable. They should be paying you for this

[@daspacechoechechoz9028]

I've watched this video about 5 times, with pauses...I'm 10 times better with Machine than when I started.

[@TheSoundTestRoom]

I’m really pleased this is helping people out, there is a Playlist at the end of the video with all my Maschine MK3 Tutorials and Demos

[@Unexplained65]

I've followed rather well but I'll use it as a reference extensively. very little of this isnt new to me

[@AntonyNorthcutt]

Serious this is the missing video we have ALL been looking for. Make an entire course like this and you will never work another day in your life.

[@TheSoundTestRoom]

Thank you, I do have some other tutorials and videos for Maschine MK3 with more to follow, just search The Sound Test Room Maschine MK3 and you will find them all

[@AntonyNorthcutt]

@@TheSoundTestRoom You are amazing!!!

[@umojaldn]

So true. Thank you so much. Will collaborate promise!

[@fpgold54]

You are the first person that made sense of the Maschine, thank you, looking for more video from you...

[@UTNO]

Thanks so much for this intro. Having no musical education nor understanding of how any of this works, I got myself the mk3 as a stress release tool/toy, and your tutorials are a great first step into all of this world. Cheers!

[@khmitcoaxum6204]

I just got my maschine mk3 and I must say a HUGE THANK YOU. I was lost until I watched your video. I appreciate the time you took to share what you know.

[@paulanderson73]

Please please please do more videos like this for beginners! You know how to teach and explain the why behind the buttons! Looking forward to your next video

[@h8h81]

Like, sub, all notifs. This guy makes it so clear and concise.

[@corbynista1912]

Very informative tutorial that perfectly covers the basics.

[@JacobAndJamal]

I really like this tutorial. I've had Maschine MK3 a year now, and just getting my head around how to use it

Check my recent beat I uploaded I appreciate it .

[@ahoughton]

Superb! You have made it alot simpler to understand! Thank you

[@dannyhernandez937]

recently got the mk3 having no prior experience, thank you so much from the bottom of my heart yor videos alone helped soooo much 😭

[@pedrofranciscozapataoliva4932]

Excellent video! It has served me a lot! I have a mk3 and did not know where to start... again excellent video. Please , more videos of this type!

Yay! I got mine! Have a nice day Doug!

[@Idonttakethisseriously]

had this for 6 years and still learned something new. amazing way to get into many details. bet te r than most tutorials out there bro

[@jackarts6901]

This is great. I've watched about 6 hours of maschine tutorials so far and I still picked a few things up from this.

[@NickPitmanUK]

Thank you very much Doug, got one this weekend and started using your very helpful video, cheers!

[@MrRayDupree]

Wonderful man!!!! Got a Maschine MK3 for Christmas and your videos will get my creative juice's flowing 💯

[@Ferrarist]

Awesome video. I just bought the Maschine MK3 and needed a proper start. This immediately got me going. Thanks a million.

[@TheUnrealChicken]

Brilliant, thank you so much for this video! Very good to start with Maschine MK3 - helped me very much indeed!

[@paulcogley8029]

I have been struggling with the Udemy Maschine class for about 6 weeks now, it is the worst ever. I learned more in the last 30 minutes watching this video than that entire 6 weeks...... I am not exaggerating! Seriously!

[@chrisdavies9143]

What a fantastic video. Really simple and easy to follow. So much better than anything that manufacturer has produced or provided. Will be working my way through the rest of your Maschine videos in due course.

[@normhogan]

Really good demo. I'm about to purchase an Mk3 and this was very useful.

[@cedrickivits4682]

Great tutorial man. Very straight to the point. Thanks a lot!

[@winkhead99]

Your videos are very easy to follow. With very clear instructions. Most instructors fly through the buttons and impossible to follow. This machine+ is a very complicated machine. Thanks

[@TheSoundTestRoom]

Great to hear!

[@sabrejj1809]

After having issues with my newly bought Maschine Plus, I was scouring KZbin for the right tutorial for troubleshooting. but couldn't find one video that helped me. Then, I came across your video and ended up fixing the issue! Thank you for the informative and clear demonstration!

[@Fern_Young]

Really informative. Literally the best Maschine tutorials I've seen. Thanks 😊

[@dodoolinooh7927]

Daaaamn u helped me so much with (6:58) pinning the pattern mode 😎😍 Very sympathic and good explainings in the whole video too. Greetings from zurich switzerland

I've watched several tutorials this one was by far the easiest to follow

[@TheSoundTestRoom]

Thank you

[@PhilipMantom]

Thank you lots! As someone swapping from my pc DAW to hardware this is what I needed. Too many other guides were assuming id memorised the manual. Great pace and clarity. (And a friendly local-ish voice!❤)

This was so so well explained !!

Thanks for this video. this is the best video for new user what I have found

Great intro! you covered quite a few bits that were very frustrating w/ zero knowledge right out of the gates -- like latch making Scene, Patter, etc stay visible. thx for that. I'm gonna watch the others.

[@samjvs9164]

thanks a lot lord, much love for this very clear tutorial !

You sir just earned my subscription, thank you for this

[@drt9424]

Hey brother! Thank you so much for the great tutorial...I plunged into several NI instruments all at once...the MK88 has been invaluable toward my theory learning...but the Maschine was a fun mystery until I watched this vid! I made my first beat and it's just fine...i'll move on to the STEP video and continue :) Anyone else reading this thread...take notes on each video and use them as a rough guide! TY x 1000!

[@DirtyJokesFan]

I installed mine and set it up yesterday. Thanks for breaking all this down for us noobs.👊🏾

[@klaytonvonkluge4905]

I still need to refer to this often, thanks so much Doug! My iPad broke down last week, ( I’ve sent it in, it was under warranty, they should be returning it fixed any time now) but I consider this a blessing, as it’s Forced me to install and work with different DAWs on my desktop and laptop, and also mess around with stuff like the Mk3, which I’ve pretty much had on the back-burner most of the time!

[@kentaccordionist]

Great Demo Doug.

excellent teaching and learning..... I have had Maschine for a while now and used in recording, knowing I am only scratching the surface thinly. In lockdown here in Aotearoa, now is the time for learning deeper than the scratch.....and your style and content really helps me amidst all the stuff out there I have used to try and get to this space before. A huge thanks....keep up the good work!

[@TheSoundTestRoom]

Thanks so much!

[@rogusratus]

Thanks for making this. The great thing about this particular video is that it only covers a few key things but those things are very important. As a Komplete user I assumed that you load instruments so the understanding of the Groups in the Maschine library was a revelation. I also couldn't see where that Abbey Road group came from and then noticed in Native Access that the Maschine 2 Factory library doesn't automatically get added - or even show as "Available". Looking forward to firing up another of your videos.

I have had the maschine MK3 for about 2 years got frustrated with the learning curve of it. I decided to try again last week as I know how powerful it is anyways your video has taught me so much already I haven't checked yet but I hope you do more videos on maschine cause you come across so well everything makes so much sense thank you, I am subscribing now! Big up

Same here, I almost sold my Mk3 again the other day, and I came back to Doug's tutorials, and WHAM! I'm already making patterns and scenes, I love it ! Big BIG UP to Doug

It’s worth learning . It’s stupid how fast you make make beats with the controller alone , specially in standalone !

[@InVisionsynthmindscape]

Nice tutorial thanks 🍻

[@jonhicks2795]

Excellent work mate ! I am not English but I detected a slight accent from you. I have watched your video 5 times in a row and I think I've got it . Very exciting I appreciate your willingness to help us newbs. I will search for your next video after I mess around for a day or so As my third grade teacher used to call me sincerely Timewaster

Interesting stuff Doug, I have been looking at the Maschine workflow just for another source of inspiration but most people approach it from a hip hop or trap perspective so really interested where you take it.

[@TheSoundTestRoom]

Thanks James, this really is just the very very basics, I will be doing many more interesting videos for Maschine MK3

[@0x80O0oOverfl0w]

Thanks for making this! There's a lot of videos about the MK3 but most are only updates or comparisons between the 3 and 2 or the MPC/Push. Not too many cover the Maschine from the start.

Amazing !!! Thank you sooo much. I feel way more confident now (started learning yesterday). I just have one problem : when i'm in the "mixer" section, each knob change the level of every instruments (like if I used the master level)... I cannot figure out why !!! Any idea ? Love from France.

[@JustMe-ue1hv]

Great demo,so much so that I'd be interested in this as a stand alone production recorder, mixer etc, can you please tell me if you can record electric guitars and vocals directly onto this machine and if so what are the quality of the onboard effects for the guitars and vocals? Thank you.

Simplified ...very well

Hi. Great video. How did you transfer the sounds into machine mk3, and get it to work stand alone without a computer? Anyone else I’ve spoken to says it doesn’t work in stand alone like the MPCX.

[@djba]

Thanks Doug …. I hadn’t even considered Maschine until earlier today and your video confirmed that it could be a good option for me. I was thinking about a NI S49 MKII but would really only use the keys to trigger Scaler 2. I am now thinking that I an do that with Maschine pads plus get the benefits of an audio interface and mic and line inputs. Have you tried to control anything on the ipad with Maschine? Thanks again for the video.

[@TheSoundTestRoom]

No, I haven’t used Maschine with my iPad

[@ehtaabbundhoo384]

Amazing tutorial! Very insightful for beginners and a good reminder for those who are more used to mk3. Just a little point! Does it say Induan Ocean on your map ? Lol It happens that I live kinda close to where it says Indian ocean lol

Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart 💓 bought about a month ago and now psyching myself up for the steep learning curve. Thanks for doing this video 🤟
