Maschine Tutorial: The Ultimate Beginner's Guide to Sampling!

[@ChristopherLakeWilliams]

I never comment but It would be a crime not to. This is THE BEST Maschine tutorial I have ever seen. Thank You!! Native Instruments owes you big time.

[@RADDAIE]

The best KZbin tutorial on Maschine I've seen. Clear and concise with attention to details. Thank you

[@jefgibbons]

Appreciate it!!

[@davidpogson5340]

What software are you using here?

[@DopamineOverload]

I may have forgotten to comment on this video but this is absolutely the BEST Maschine sampling tutorial I've seen, period. Period. I've seen a lot of them. Jef, PLEASE make a ton more videos on Maschine and anything else.. you've definitely gained a new subscriber. Brilliant work. Never boring, informative, and great explanation and you truly go over EVERYTHING. Thanks!!!

[@trevormalcolm4328]

I’ve watched a load of Maschine MK3 videos, and I find yours to be the most straightforward and easiest to follow! Excellent work.

[@salvatoret6146]

Wow I have watched thousands of videos about music Maschine etc this Jef is incredible. Best tutorial I have ever watched.

[@jefgibbons]

Thanks Salvatore! Really appreciate that!

[@dxtrs_mnpltr]

The kind of teacher i would have loved to have in school..the fact that your videos don’t get any thumbs down says loads about your teaching style and quality of your videos, you simply rock dude!

[@mbf6160]

factz bruh not everybody has that gift

[@dside80]

just upgrade from the maschine mk1 to the mk3... worth every last penny! this thing does so much amazing stuff and your videos are the best tutorials for the equipment on KZbin and I know because I've watched a LOT of them. thanks and keep em coming!!

[@needlenosemusic]

Piling on to say you have become my favorite Maschine instructor on here. I don’t even need to watch the basics anymore but here I am.

[@VACIPIDY]

Jeff your Mk3 Tutorial Videos are so easy to follow and understand, you don't rush through them and I just want to say thank you for these. Keep em' coming!

[@jefgibbons]

Thanks for the comment! I have more in the works, coming soon!

[@shortt7693]

I understood that wholeheartedly. Great at teaching. For the life of me, I couldn't figure out sampling. I'm glad I came across your videos

[@2shotDerringer]

Dude, hands down, you make the best instructional videos I've ever come across in the past 5 years of studying equipment and software functionality on KZbin. You really have a knack for explaining things you're doing along with your video edits... The way you vocally reiterate certain moves you're making that you've taught earlier in the video or previous videos without being redundant. I love it. I really walk away from your videos feeling absorbed. 👍🏼 So sick. My Maschine hasn't even arrived in the mail yet and I already know for a fact you took the learning curve out of my way. 💪🏼 Keep em' coming! Appreciate you! 🙏🏼

[@davidhall9756]

Man, you are a breathe of fresh air, I am 72 yrs old but still in the game! Jef you explain Maschine so even my Ol Azz, can understand it, you should been around when I got my first Maschine , that didn't't end well !

[@hazardmouth]

Best Maschine teacher on the net. I have severely benefited from these videos, your teaching style is perfect for me. Thank you for taking the time to make this.

[@jefgibbons]

Thanks so much, means a ton to hear it!

[@Akashic09]

I finally realized after all these years that Maschine is so much more than a beat maker. Mine is on the way in the mail. This is one of the better videos I’ve seen showing how powerful it is. The lock and morph functions really got me sold on it but the sampler functionality looks amazing as well. Thank you for the quality content.

[@strawboybeats3970]

Jeff you are a wonderful teacher and I cannot tell you enough how much I appreciate this series. Sampling is the reason I got my mk3 and you've made getting started tremendously easier. Thank you for helping me keep my excitement getting started with this maschine rather than spending the whole first day confused.

[@loqionthehits]

This is the best Maschine tutorial ever.

[@SIKKYBEATS]

I got a Maschine in the mail last week. Your videos are a tremendous help. Thank you!

[@jefgibbons]

Nice, have fun!

[@WhatsBiggin]

I can't believe the synchronicity I am experiencing on this journey. This channel and its tutorials are perfect timing, as I am getting my MK3 this Thursday.

[@jefgibbons]

+James Biggins thanks James! That’s great to hear, have fun with it man!

[@pzbeats2902]

By far the best tutorial on MK3 sampling I've seen till now. Thanks Jef (subbed, ofc)

[@whendoesthisend]

have you looked at Blezz beats? i think that is the name. Dude is funny and explains things in a funny way but delivers. IMO

[@pzbeats2902]

Legendary. Been fumbling on my maschine mk3 for a year and still got more than a couple tips from this video.

[@erichudson3223]

I just want to say this is the 1st best video i have seen on a tutorial of Maschine i have subscribed to your channel thank you for your VALUED effort 10 out of 10

[@jefgibbons]

Really appreciate it Eric! More coming this Fall...

[@daggerd4606]

You're the Goat! Easy to understand, nice commentary, no extra blabla straight to the point. Well done!

[@kurtborte]

This is the best maschine tutorial for all levels I have seen on youtube. Thank you, cant wait to check out the other maschine videos. Excited like i found a goldmine...

[@Geepstar]

Where would this world be without you Jeff? Thanks a lot!!

[@FrakBeats]

The MK3 has to be my favorite piece of gear. I just love the look and feel of it.

[@jefgibbons]

I agree, it's just fun to work with!

[@trigga5291]

Total novice, just bought a mk3 and came across your brief theory vid and now onto this. Very detailed, straight to the point and logical. Will be watching more. Cheers!

[@sautsitumorangkpk]

awesome .. thanks mate ..

[@robvelazquez9195]

You are hands down the best maschine teacher out there. No contest.

[@TheShapooriReserve]

What you said at the end was so true. The Maschine sampler can be intimidating at first, but once you take the time to sort of acquaint yourself it opens up a lot of different possibilities

[@james.schubert]

Thanks!

[@tykiddmusic]

Thanks bro. Your videos give me life on this Mk3 business...

[@jefgibbons]

Glad to hear it!

[@BLUEGOBEATS]

I would also agree working with the mk3 is the most fun with music ive had in a very long time! Thanks for the video!

[@pugflavatv6414]

I just want to say thank you .I look at a lot of videos and don't understand but yours i understand so well and they have gotten me so far ahead in my production thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@ernestm8884]

Man with you, Accurate Beats and Beau tyler I think I finally have sampling in the Maschine and Maschine DAW down. THANKS!!!

[@lorendigiorgi]

Another great tutorial. Right now I have a Maschine Mikro, but watching this makes me want to upgrade to its big brother.

[@jefgibbons]

Thanks! Yeah, the screens are nice!

[@lorendigiorgi]

@@jefgibbons That's what I'm thinking! Less interaction with the computer, and more hands on the Maschine.

[@stmmjd]

I enjoyed your tutorials Jef. My Maschine arrives tomorrow! You got me really excited to get started sketching ideas.

[@thabeachmaster324]

howd it go?

[@stmmjd]

@@thabeachmaster324 I love it! Also picked up a KK S61 about a month later. I've been loving Output's libraries as well as NI Komplete 12 Ultimate. There's really no limit to what can be produced. As primarily a guitarist, this has really opened up so many creative doors.

[@IneffableMysteries]

I haven't been using Maschine to its full potential. This is amazing

[@maxs489]

Thanks!

[@jefgibbons]

Thank YOU Max!

[@EyeTye]

Thanks for this video. I’ve seen it so many times. Helped immensely. Just got in my recommended feed, good times.

[@solidstatejake]

I just got the new Mk3 and have been following your videos to catch up with the updates from the Mk2. They've been really helpful. Thanks a lot for your work, Jef. If anyone is looking for a Maschine, I have on listed right now on eBay (It's limited edition gold, near mint). Keep making great content!

[@WavebeatsMusic]

Hi Jef! I just bought my Maschine Mk3 and I am learning a lot from your videos! Great job you are doing! thank you! :)

[@jefgibbons]

+WavebeatsMusic - Royalty Free Music perfect! Have fun with it!

[@rollitkvah4238]

Best tutorial I ve come across on the internet so far :) Keep it up, great teatching skills, honest comment from education department employee. Cheers from Canada!

[@frankschmidt9451]

Really excellent support and training! I have learned a lot and it is impressive, how quick and perciese you are able to samle and modify the slices

[@073JONJON]

awesome!!! got the day off cause of the storm and decided to watch your Vid and i learned more in 27 mins then i have in 2 years thanx boss

[@jefgibbons]

Thanks John! And man, stay safe!

[@edasilva8125]

Straight up, this dude knows what he's talking about so well that at approx. 5:30 he makes a mistake and it is a PERFECT teaching moment. Jeff Gibbons... You're the boss. Fan for life!!!

[@erichelgesen66]

Hey Jef, I'm a newcomer here. I have sworn to Ableton Live and Push, but got a good deal on Maschine a few months ago. It's always good to not restrict yourself too much, although I do actually find that limitations often help the creative process (not that Push is limiting!). I digress. Just wanted to say I really enjoy your vids for learning the Maschine, which I find less intuitive than Push, but still a nice piece of equipment. Keep them coming, truly inspiring for your talent and you're a really good teacher. Thanks! There is one thing that keeps me from using the Maschine more actively, and that is the problem Maschine has by clipping and slowing down way too early in the process, which stops the creative flow. I end up just exporting the clips to Ableton and take it from there. I would like to see your take on this.

[@8BitThoughts]

I had barely used my MK3 because it's just so overwhelming but these tutorials are nothing short of amazing. Thank you!

[@jefgibbons]

Thats great to hear, thanks!

[@AndyFerguson]

Good as this video is, am I just being an old grump when I write that this video is not about “sampling” but about manipulating “samples”. I was looking for “a beginners guide to sampling” ... that is making a sample from an input and THEN setting it up. Once I’ve found that video I can perhaps return to this guide on setting up samples on Maschine.

[@WaveBits]

As a new MK3 owner, thanks! 👍🏻 Love that you can Refine Start/End on next page while using Detect Mode.

[@GunninRebel55]

Big props to you for this! I have the MK3 and was struggling with sampling. You gave up a ton of useful and applicable info to work with. I appreciate you!!

[@ot-mills]

Finally found a video that explained what I needed to know within the first 1:25...Thank you!

[@hoovacant]

Recently I bought my own Maschine mk3. I really love to use it but I am little struggling with the function of the gear. This 27mins clip saves lots of my time in doing sampling with the Maschine. Thanks a lot.

You are most welcome!!

[@scottslonski1688]

Excellent!!!! Thank you for the help! I'm 5 months in with Maschine now and I'm already pretty familiar with the sampler but you showed me some more tipe and have opened up a bunch of new ideas for me.

Thank you Jef! Best Maschine teacher I know...

[@jefgibbons]

Thanks Oliver!!

[@freiermensch8156]

Thank you Jef for your super short and very informativ "The Ultimate Beginner's Guide to Sampling!" tutorial.

[@Hexspa]

I just applied 90 slices of the Amen via single mode to five groups. Ready for my lifetime achievement award.

[@Hexspa]

One thing for those who might be wondering: if you apply your slices to a group directly - without hitting Button 5/Single - then only the first 16 slices are exported. Not good in this case. If you have more slices, you have to 'apply' them all via single mode to different groups. Of course, each group can only have 16 sounds. Alternatively, you could pre-remove all but the 16 sounds you want; if you only want that many.

[@AlienBuddha]

Fantastic tutorial! You explain everything so clearly and give great visual examples. Thank you!

[@nokefo]

Man this video is the best ever. I've been searching for a tutorial that I can learn to sample and chop in MK3. This is perfect... Great job!!!

[@robmichael-phillips6051]

These tutorials are incredibly helpful. I owe you several beers for the brain ache you’ve saved me. Thanks a million. 👊😀

[@dangerbird64]

Jeff, thanks so much for the great Maschine tutorials. I've been really struggling since most tutorials i've found were done before major updates to the Maschine software. Yours have been the most helpful and i've learned a ton!

Glad to hear it Douglas!

Great stuff. You perform a great service for noobs like me.

[@DjDubStak]

U just sold me on this. I'm a bedroom dj that wants to dabble with music production. I don't like the layout on ableton but Push looks interesting. I think i can work with the layout of Maschine. U made the Mk3 look easy. I've used NCH software to edit mixes on my phone and this is similar........... Yea, I think u sold me

[@blaisefreeman]

This is so clearly communicated, thank you so much

[@malachisaydee5392]

You are just good at what you do.... I love all ur MK3 tutorial videos. Especially the scenes and patterns ones. Keep bringing them videos mate, you are the 👌

[@watchandproduce]

Very helpful. Your Maschine videos are great.

[@FotoMeijer]

tnx. specialy at the end, when you say not getting frustrated :-). But I agree also that it is absolutely great and nice to play with. Only the coop with Cubase stays a little difficult.

[@versatilestylegamers3874]

Wondering if anyone can help or is having or had the same issues! I get my sample in and edit it to change the pitch when i come to slice the sample it is the original and not the one i edited? I am using a Maschine Mikro Mk1. If anyone could help that would be amazing!
