This was the MOST HELPFUL walkthrough of the MK3 I've seen! Most people just show you how THEY make beats super fast but don't explain in detail the thought process behind each instrument and how to arrange everything...man...amazing vid!

[@WatanabeDarko]

One of the best tutorials I have seen for Maschine MK3.

[@JohnnyVinceEvans]

Other than making us worry that you might slip and fall into RED HOT LAVA, this is perfect. Thank you! 🌋

[@RandomNoiseMusic]

I just watched 20 minutes straight of a video with no multiple angles, endless jumping and cutting or someone try to sell me Distrokid, and it was extremely clear and easy to follow. Quality content right here, you are a natural teacher 🙌 subbed

[@holden4764]

I’m so glad I found this. 4 years ago I bought my MK3, and couldn’t find any tutorials. It was hard for me, as it was my first daw experience. Sad to say that the first time I gave up, and it sat for 2 years. Finally some better tutorials are out including NI’s own. These helped me to at least try again w my mk3. But your videos are what I was searching for when I first bought it. Super simple, and easy, and not rushed. Really friggen great set of videos.

[@Adam-franka]

This is the clearest explanation I found on the internet so far,,,,,,,,gold ma man

[@TheSoundTestRoom]

Thank you, that’s very kind of you to say 👍😊

[@Imagineunicorns_zm]

Most people teaching how to use Maschine just show us their skill. But you my good Sir are a very good teacher

[@klaytonvonkluge4905]

Man, thanks so much for these, this stuff is FINALLY starting to click!!

[@briansherling5515]

You really do cut to the nitty grittty basics. No showing off, Step by step. I really appreciate your style

[@thomaswilliams7601]

Geeeeza we need more People like you man. You slow down on the important bits whereas other people just skim quickly over stuff that leaves you just straight up angry as you know your gonna have to find a howl nother video or message people to get the I information concise and clear. Big respect and ting. Just got a second hand push 2 and feel in love with this way of working but the buttons especially in the drum sequencer mode are just stupidly hard to push,plus I have all the NI software soo be it on!! Thanks again man

[@Alexthegreat1967]

New User From Italy, You are the best Machine Teacher I have ever met on KZbin... Perfect!!!!👏👏👏👏

[@TheSoundTestRoom]

Thank you

[@DJEKLIPZ]

I like the way this guy takes his time and teach you how to do it and not teach the way he do it

[@JoeBlacula]

Initially your videos seemed very quick and not very helpful for someone like myself that has been working with the MPC for the past 30 years. BUT after having calmer mind, I was able to finally receive this info clearer. Thank you VERY much for your help and I will be watching your other videos.

[@barthandelus8340]

I've learnt more on this channel than anywhere else.

[@domakesaythink2]

I like your pace and the way you deliberately use your fingers to clearly indicate what your pressing while saying the name. Easy to follow and I never have to pause rewind to figure out what you just did. Thanks for the Maschine tuts!

[@hypgnosis3159]

This is the best one out there for machina mark III ..bar none. Trust me, we've seen em. All

[@garygrenus9042]

Wow this is the first Machine+ Video that was helpful. Thanks for keeping the focus on the screen and moving step by step in the most organized fashion. I almost gave up on this machine until this video. Many thanks! Now would love to see a video that builds on this one.

[@raze6669]

I'm a complete beginner...and i understood everything ;) Thx!

[@josjo8574]

Love and enjoyed how you explain over and over again, and repeat what you say- I am going to keep watching until I get it 😊- hope to catch up with you,,,Very nice explanation…….

[@Yahoomediaclub]

Really helpful, Im a fairly new owner of Maschine Mk3 + S88 awesome controllers with second to none library’s of quality sound. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Looking fwd to next video.👍

[@octavemarbot8474]

This is a perfect beginners guide! Straight forward - easy to understand - no distractions

[@djba]

Thanks Doug for a really helpful video. This is the best video I have found that explains the relationship between Scenes, Groups, and Patterns.

[@TheSoundTestRoom]

Thanks Bill, I'm really pleased you found it helpful :)

[@nota76]

The best tutorial with gear I ever seen.. Thank you so much! Wish you good luck! Stay healthy!

[@nota76]

Please make some more... I am beginner, i was searching and watching so many videos and no-one gave me understanding- only you! Thank you!❤️🙏🏻

[@TheSoundTestRoom]

There is a link at then of the video to more, I have nine so far, just search The Sound Test Room Maschine MK3

[@isasearch]

I’m glad that there are still people like this, thank you for your amazing tutorial, you definitely have that teacher skill on level 100+ Faith in humanity restored 😊

[@purplehazeto]

Very useful tips, thank you!

[@afmfintech]

This is better than the paid course I was taking! You’ve got something here, if you want to take it further.

[@klaytonvonkluge4905]

There's quite a few paid courses out there, are they all really not that great? I've had my mk3 goin on 2 years in the fall, and there's STILL stuff I don't know how to do!! Kinda disconcerting

[@afmfintech]

@@klaytonvonkluge4905 No, they're fine. There's just something about the way Doug does it that resonates. Maybe the context of doing a song, rather than just going through the interface. I learn by doing, so I really like step-by-step tutorials.

[@klaytonvonkluge4905]

@@afmfintech same, I GOTTA have step by step, or I'm lost ... see, I got a new iPad last oct, and discovered "GarageBand", so, it kinda put my Mk3 on the back burner, GarageBand is so intuitive and user friendly... but I'm gonna endeavor to persevere over this Mk3, if it kills me! haha..... or, I'll be selling it on eBay and getting some stuff for my dslr 😁🤣😂

[@Talentman18]

You couldn’t have made this tutorial any easier. Straight to the point easy to follow along with. You’re a lifesaver. Thank you again!!

[@ChristosGeorgiades9]

Amazing tutorial, thank you! The fastest way to start using the Maschine Mk3!

[@kcreative7293]

Absolutely love the vids but they should be in some sort of order from the start of your absolutely beginners vid. don't know where I'm coming from or going to after this vid. thank you.......you are great, clear, and slow enough to understand and follow along.

[@LesTutosdeHuito]

so useful and straight to the point! many thanks!

[@slimyelow]

Finally a lightbulb went off in my head.

[@MrJhosep23]

you are the best, not even de native instruments tutorials que macth you , thank you very much

[@torrunelade3004]

This is the best tutorial for arranging on the device! So much fun when the workflow suddenly falls into place and it did thanks to this. Cheers!

[@Yahoomediaclub]

One year later and I’m really loving the workaround on the hardware. Brilliant videos

[@wlwhistlelucy1868]

I don’t even have a machine and yet I sit and watch the tutorial lol

[@gmaxxbln]

Thank You very much! It‘s a really good tutorial! 🙏🙋‍♂️

[@AntonyNorthcutt]

Another smashingly useful tutorial. Put these into a Teachable course and you'll make a fortune! There are now tons of us hanging on waiting for the next tutorial!

[@gtamediaproductions1]

I just bought this several days ago and find myself continuously experimenting with it day after day. Your tutorials on this are so clear and straight forward. It's the way every tutorial should be. Thank you. I love learning from you.

[@TheSoundTestRoom]

Thank you😊

[@bigjayrillah3508]

These are definitely the best videos to start out with if you are new to the Maschine.

[@pianoyan]

This is great, Doug. As much as I enjoy the boom bap tutorials, Maschine shines when it’s used to arrange a whole song, and there’s not so much on KZbin covering the process. Will keep watching you, Jeff Gibbons, and Blezzbeats. Most fun I’ve had with a piece of gear for years, and I’ve only just got started. Keep on keeping on!

[@lt-pn1wh]

Can you do a maschine mk3 series on how to use everything like in episodes I love your videos I'm a fan and I learn so much from you

[@theboombapkingdom8628]

Peace to you and a big shout out! I am new to Maschine. As an MPC and SP1200 guy this was very helpful. Simple and to the point and I like that you used only the MK3 because I have the Maschine Plus and it is almost an identical process. Thanks again.

[@hvhvgitaar]

this is very clear and helpful. Haven't made the jump to maschine yet, but this definitely shows the smooth workflow....

[@andycordy5190]

Thank you so much for working on the hardware. Please tag this up as suitable for Maschine + until you get into arranger. So well presented.

[@jefferykirkland2346]

Really enjoy watching your videos! Makes me appreciate my MK3 much more!

[@TheSoundTestRoom]

Glad you like them!

[@daspacechoechechoz9028]

This product is one of the most counter-intuitive products to ever exist. Thank you for your wonderful explanation. Way better than udemy. Nice job!

[@deterrentdubz9116]

dunno how you think that, its so simple and intuitive its basically cheating.

[@primalfunction6315]

Best Maschine tutorial for a beginner like me ever, so logical and thorough. look forward to song mode one. 🙂

[@amrikdillon4527]

simple, easy to understand and follow. great beginners + guide. thank you.

Very nice and clean explanation of basic building blocks for the Maschine. Thank you very much for creating and sharing this :)

[@ambrosesimon]

Excellent - thanks for this! I hope this series continues.

[@TheSoundTestRoom]

More to come!

[@kevinmiller-sk1fi]

As others have said, this is a good video for people like me who have just got a Maschine and are trying to understand the basic structure and workflow of the system. It is absolutely one of the best I have found so far on the subject Having spent 20 years my working life writing and delivering demonstrations and tutorials of creative software for major software companies including a certain fruit named colossus, I appreciate what goes into producing a video like this. Maschine looks to be incredibly powerful tool, but getting ones head around the basic logic and terminology can be a bit of a head scratcher. It's my experience that software with its roots in Germany has a different feel than from other parts of the world. If I had a criticism of your presentation as it stands, it would be to cut out the little asides and diversions and to keep focussed on the matter on hand. I would also rehearse my button presses more before committing to a final recording, or edit out miss pressed buttons etc. I like your vocal delivery and the overall way you have structured the tutorial, just think it needs a bit of a polish in the post production, some judicious editing, and maybe including some close ups and or graphics/call outs. I understand that this takes more time and effort, sometimes a lot more, and obviously that's your call. I absolutely appreciate your generosity in sharing your knowledge/experience. Keep up the good work and look forward to many more tutorials in the future. I have liked and subscribed

[@royevans4581]

Wow!! Light bulb moment. Just got my Mk3 today. Made a killer beat already playing around. I was wondering how I could change the arrangement around. Amazing video!!!

[@cedrickivits]

Another excellent tutorial. Amazing explanation and perfect flow troughout the whole video. So constructive and so clear. Your tutorials are AMAZING! They are even a bit ASMR triggering haha. You got a relaxing voice, and cool accent. Thanks for these man! Really helps me out and i'm having a great time learning about my hardware!!!! Thank you!

[@tsherman727]

Great information in this video. Thank you so much !!

[@GrootsieTheDog]

Here's a great video idea for you: Making Brian Eno aleatoric (random probabilities) ambient music in Maschine. There is very little in this genre for this software compared to other DAWs and it actually lends itself wonderfully for it. PLUS a great angle is making it with pattern mode vs clip (and both together) as both have their plus and minus for this genre (e.g. sustained (held) notes at the end of a clip dont carry over to the beginning of the clip - in patterns they do so great for continues drones). But there are work around in clips to do that of course. Having empty space at the end of 15 bar pattern, for example, can create the same quality as clips mode as far as a linear quality of parts lining up in different places and coming in and out at various times in a compostition. etc etc. :)

[@MrFkinel]

Excellent

[@JohnMcGFrance]

Really well presented. Very clear and easy to follow. My only complaint is that I’ve got the Mk2 hardware and now I’m desperate to have the Mk3! Having the extr functionality and those 2 big colour screens looks to aid workflow a lot. I’ll keep the Mk2 and use in as a controller in Cubase using midi remote. Just need to wait and see if the Mk3 pops up in a sale later in the year while I save my pennies. Thanks for your work on these videos. I’ll be checking out done if your others. Much appreciated.

[@wilpas1050]

Frankly great, I managed to do it, thank you we will have to remember it and practice now but it's normal, on the other hand a stupid question can be: at the end is it possible to play the scenes in a row automatically as a whole song in a way

[@TheSoundTestRoom]

Yes, there is a way to creat songs, that will be another tutorial
