Dope beat, S/O to the MASCHINE Mafia.

[@squalley]

Maschine all day, everyday… sometimes in my sleep 🤨🤔 sounds about right 😎🥃

[@TonyFlorean]

All my music is made with the MASCHINE 🔥

[@notsogood9449]

I've used all these beat making software programs and I still think Maschine is the easiest, fastest and the most fun software and on top of that Native Instruments has the BEST sounds.

[@DJWOLFLIVE]

I have a maschine+ and a maschine studio as this is absolute facts!!!

[@richardburley1552]

Can you guys send me some video links for learning how to make beats with the mashine software I bought it last month been trying to figure how to work it....I need some help lol

[@kevlew.mrlew_mrlewmedia]

I agree but Akai hardware is superior. Maschine Plus is priced similar to Live 2 but spec’d more similarly to MPC One. Should not have been priced more than$999 imo

[@thenet3d]

@@kevlew.mrlew_mrlewmedia yep 100. The live 2 is my go too. And I don't need a billion sounds. The supplied library has got it all covered and the plugins allow me to customise the sounds easily as well as craft my own. Haven't needed to craft my own. I found that having komplete ultimate just had me spending ages going through different sound packs and not really finding anything that inspired me..I think for the EDM folk massive is great but for me just a whole lot of noise.

[@babysunn2]

Question... Can You Take The Machine To The Beach, In Its Original Form Without It Being Doctored up With External Batteries And Whatnot And Create A Masterpiece? Of Course Not... Only The MPC Live 2 Is Capable of That... That Being Said Tupac Nor Drake, Are Considered Fast Rappers, Its About How You USE YOUR CONTENT, That's Why Their Performances Are APEXED! Its Not Always About The Fastest, Especially When The Word ART Is INVOLVED. 😁.

[@DMV-SaxTv]

Yo Bolo ... welcometo the NI family. As a long time Maschine user, there is so much to explore with NKI integrations, etc. Great 1st start! Just know that you can use all 16 pads in the bank for all of your collections. No BS ...try the various NI sponsored Maschine vids. They will get you up and running quickly. Happy exploring!

[@BoloDaProducer]

Will do thanks!

[@squalley]

Bolo, shout out to you fam for sharing this experience. As a long time Maschine user, I get jazzed when I see people use it for the first time 😎🥃

[@billiemack2993]

Quickest way to get to main mixer. 1. Click on mixer tab with the mouse. 2. Click on a group with the mouse. 3. On the MK3 or Maschine+ push the large knob up or down. The main mixer will show.

[@BoloDaProducer]

Thanks!

[@camdonhill]

I just got the Maschine Mikro a few weeks back myself. Really made it so much easier, and fun to make beats then anything I’ve tried before. I wish I would’ve got one sooner! Dope video! 💪🏼

[@funkylizardman]

I just do this as a hobby but you are one of the best channels to learn from. Thanks!

[@samgoldsberry3029]

The Maschine workflow is sick. I want to see you experiment with the swing settings. Great vid Bolo!!

[@MrScrooge1980]

I know one thing, the Abbey Roads kit is the best sounding live drums I’ve heard on any piece of software, has that round robin effect, dope presentation as always bro

[@zackarydriscoll9770]

Really gonna enjoy you rocking with the machine my guy!!

[@jeffthomas4246]

Hey there bolo I'm glad that you got that MK3. When you learn how to work that along with that acai, you going to another level baby! I know you going to make some good beats! Can't wait to hear your projects.

[@7Wounds]

Look at you Bolo! Making Maschine Fun Again! I love it. Maschine is VERY underrated in my view.

[@mcdan2696]

Very nice! It's definitely a Club Banger!

[@prettyjohnflipsta8350]

Mane u so dope it’s crazy. Go Bolo Go!

[@ps5gurus508]

proud of you bolo!

[@klaytonvonkluge4905]

Man, bolo, I love having my Mk3 Around, I used to fight with it (trying to figure out how to master the learning Curve) but once I got into it more, I find it indispensable; it will go nicely once I upgrade the rest of my home studio (a paid and pro Daw) so I can have Less hassles sharing files and all the other minor headaches free DaWs come with… Great job, nice to see you rocking that thing!

[@christibugmusic]

I've been using Machine Studio and NI for several years after reluctanly parting with my MPC2000. I am always amazed at how versatile this system is...especially when you use it either within or outside of your DAW ( logic pro X in my case)...I like your work and enjoy your channel. Thanks for sharing as I learn something new with every episode I watch...keep bangin!!!

[@southernfellaproductions]

Keep going unc I see the 100k subs on the way.💯🔥

[@DJ_TideWave]

Sounds so awesome! Dope beats!! 😊🔥🔥🔥

[@CDMESD]

This was so cool. You like that Maschine work flow. Its EASY! Dope beat!

[@HUMZMIC1]

YO...You killed that jawhn that beat is FIRE AWESOME JOB (I LIKE)

[@audiofeverkeepithot]

The sounds in Maschine are the best in my opinion and Everything you did in the daw you can do in the hardware, in due time you’ll get the hang of it

[@jamescox1750]

Bolo great job with this beat, for the first one with MK3 you cooked it up real nice. I truly believe you know the maschine software good already. Keep up the good videos, you give me good ideas.

[@glendwellz]

Soundin good for just a week man! I always set up drums in single group and add to sounds in each pad. Good when u wanna get the feel and finger drum the drums. Been using maschine mk3 for three years now(changed up to the plus 6months ago) and I love the workflow with maschine.

[@randydaboss1097]

This is solid for a 10 min beat💯. You can also use the "shift + quantize" buttons to quickly quantize 808s and whatnot. If you can keep making videos like this and any discoveries you find using the software that'll be incredible 🙏🏾

[@BoloDaProducer]

Will do

[@saucemoneybeatz1977]

ALL WAYS DOPE BOLO

[@kevlew.mrlew_mrlewmedia]

Bolo, I believe ‘Default’ Full Level is at 100 velocity. If you go to ‘Pad Mode’ and press the right arrow until you get to the last page you can change the velocity to 127. That will give you harder hits in ‘Full’ mode

[@illy2066]

What Up Bolo!! Illy here from Baltimore , welcome to the maschine family. Heres a tip , If you use all 16 slots in the bank , its easier to mix the levels in the mixer because they'll all be on the same page. For instance , if you had put those first three instruments in the same bank , when you pulled up the mixer you wouldn't have had to go bank to bank to level the sounds out. They would have all been in the same mixer.

[@jaleah2306]

This just helped me learn how to arrange in maschine!! Thank you!!

[@CORNERSTOW]

It gets way betta 🚀🚀 the touch strip , the time stretching 💯💯💯

[@albshore8]

You dig great ...I have a micro mk3 still trying to wrap my head around ....You did what you usually do just different knobs.

[@unique863]

there's a volume button on the hardware if u hold the group and volume button at the same time u can use the rotary knob to turn it down.. also if u hold an individual pad and volume button at the same time u can turn down that one sound in the group

[@biig5]

🔥🔥🔥 that beat hitting bro

[@MusicWizard85]

I've never used Maschine but you made it look easy! Well done, sounds great for a 10 minute first try! I agree with you about the workflow. It looked pretty intuitive and easy to use. I still say Akai Force & Maschine are the two best non DAW all in one creation stations. I wonder if NI or Akai have anything up their sleeve for the NAMM show coming up in a few weeks.

[@leoopokat8235]

native will never show up to these

[@PierreBurnaugh]

Started with Maschine MK2, nine years ago (haven’t released one thing as of yet, plan to soon, another story), still trying to learn Live and Push2, can’t seem to get MPC to cooperate (started with Beats then Studio). When I can’t deal with the frustration of the other two I always return to just pressing that little button on the back my MK3, see those colors light across the pads and I can turn out beats in minutes, like you did here. Nice beat btw and video as usual. Really enjoy your channel. Starting with the ease and simplicity of Maschine has got me used to that workflow, the sounds and quality are top notch and it keeps improving as a complete DAW itself.

[@HULK373]

It's going,going, It's gone! Fire! On your first time out! I can imagine when you really get the hang of Maschine. I too am a Maschine, MPC head. Watch Jeff Gibbions, Uncle Knock and Low Heat. Those brothers are Maschine Master!

[@exootikkmusic]

That’s Hard 🔥🔥🔥

[@RANDOMZ161]

This my 5th time watching this video because of the beat and how easy he makes it seem I'm still learning this machine mk3

[@BigChiefPrinceVision]

Great job bro,

[@whoisdfunk931]

i would love the see a Maschine MK3 FL Studio integration video. like how to drag and drop the midi from maschine or play into FL Studio with the Maschine. That would be awesome

[@notestradamus1977]

Fire Love It

[@16scott17]

fire bro

[@EricRabb]

BOLO, I use each instrument volume and keep all my faders @ zero db, mixes sound way cleaner that way. Some NI instruments like the Poly Synth doesn’t have a volume knob, so what I do is use a plug in with a variable output. A simple NI compressor should do the trick.

[@coreywallace8147]

Click on view at the top of the screen ( I'm using Mac) and select mixer. Or while on mixer tab of the MK3 console press up on the dial and it'll show the full mixer. Press down to return. Glad I could help Bolo!

[@chucktaylorbeats3998]

Dope.beat been rocking the maschine since 2015 all need is that komplete kontrol Mk2 keyboard and it’s over I got the Mpc live 2 but I just can’t put my maschine down

[@deriodagreat2714]

That"s Hard!!!!

[@DiamondThief444]

glad you like the maschine!!!

[@mbf6160]

I love the MK3 and the maschine workflow I bought the mpc studio a few months back but still having trouble with the AKAI MPC workflow and software

[@retroriggs195]

@bolo to get the entire mixer you need to click over the word master on the master track at the far right of your screen when in mixer mode

[@BoloDaProducer]

Thanks, I figured it out right after I stopped filming lol

[@billbradleymusic]

Bolo! It's a very good idea to keep your drums separated brother! I appreciate you, man.

[@Pauluz_The_Web_Gnome]

Tips 1.) Change Mixer layout and back, click down and up with your encoder knob. (You see little white leds near the encoder knob, which direction you can go to ;-) Tip 2.) Watch your mainvolume to avoid it to go in the red, set Mainvolume to -3.5 dB. I hope this is helpful to you! and your beat is realy good for first use!

[@kingentertainmentevents6418]

awesome

[@Noizy_Katz]

I got my mk3 but I had the mikro for years it’s a big step and would love more of your videos and tutorials

[@BoloDaProducer]

Will do!

[@mbf6160]

You can change the sensitivity of the pads and knobs for the hardware in the software preferences also if you hit the mixer button on the hardware and then switch to group it will allow you to see all your groups so you can mix right on the hardware so you will then be able to export a file send into another program and export a MP3 with the mix you did in maschine unless you like to mix things in another software then export and trackout your song

[@jeffthomas4246]

HeyBOLO this is Dutch! You wanted to know how to control the mixing level! Instead of mixing every individual sound level, turn the group setting on. When you turn the group setting on you can control the volumes of every instrument in that particular group. Remember to look for the tab that says group and that will allow you to control the mix on all the instruments in that group!

[@Pauluz_The_Web_Gnome]

Yeaaaaaaaah Boooooooooloooooooow’s da Man!!!!

[@MJ-xm1jb]

Dope!

[@MIxstarsOnline]

That 💣💣💣

[@wesheriveaux9325]

Dope beat

[@AdrianP225]

Mashine Gang! 🔥

[@squalley]

7:30 NO DONT DO THAT!!! Put in the same group with the closed hat so you can easily cut them off when one is playing. Also learn how to use patterns, it will make your workflow soooooo much easier 😎🥃 Hot track and you’ll find that Maschine is a low key cheat code 😉

[@mba9869]

Let’s hear it 🔥

[@kvmoore1]

Nice beat!!! This proves that it's not about the gear. It's about talent. A talented beat maker can make a nice sounding beat on ANYTHING!!! Just stick with the gear you are most comfortable working with and doesn't get in the way of the creative process.

[@squalley]

7:46 you cans change the sensitivity in the software in settings. Also you change how your colors are 👍🏾

[@dubbytatif-production.9112]

hello from France ; for the 808 , you can put for the polyphony in legato mode , it gives the glide function ; thanks for all your work .

[@tekis0]

Bolo!!👍👍

[@DuckyDeVito]

Yeah That beat came out riding frfr!

[@John-lv6uj]

You know how to get DOWN. You are doing it for real. MK3 MK2 is still HITTING HARD. Great job.

[@KONSEP1er93]

If you wanna get quicker check out DDS, he's a beast at using the hardware for tracking out an entire beat. Switch to group mode and it will pull up the mixer for all groups.

[@CORNERSTOW]

Gracias buen video

Another banger

[@majorstacks23]

Yes sir! Maschine Mob.

[@ricokornegay9472]

🔥🔥

[@umanoid1523]

I use Maschine to sketch out my tracks but use full kits on groups. I often use several kits while writing, i create 8-16 measure loops and export them all to Ableton. Ive been using Maschine since it first came out but am only using a micro these days. I have an original Maschine 1 sitting in a box but never used it fully so the Micro is enough for me. Nice start with a quick beat and look forward to seeing you pick up more knowledge using Maschine.

[@dijital4588]

When you export to Ableton. How are your audio files exported? I was in Ideas mode when I exported to FL Studio, it created an audio file for each scene. I’m curious if I should separate/organize the audio files differently.

[@umanoid1523]

@@dijital4588 I export each scene as well. Some times its a lot of splits and there’s usually some renaming and organizing in Ableton.

[@915Boss]

You can adjust the pad sensitivity in the settings options

[@motivationnation5290]

Yooo Bolo To see the mixer bigger after you have the mixer open click on the 🔍icon that should turn off whatever sound, kit, etc open to show the mixer in the larger screen. And good looking the clips settings makes it easier kinda like fl studio ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾💯💯💯💯💯💯

[@paulallyngoff7472]

I’m coming to this from being a rock musician…it’s a lot of fun.

[@dkillathagreat]

🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@lenenigma2977]

Go to Group, then hit mixer and then you can get to the main mixer. If your in "sound", you will only get the mixer for those sounds within that particular group.

[@drewhjava]

That's interesting you are creating in Song mode vs Idea mode. I've never tried to do that before. I always go to Idea and layout scenes then go to song mode. Convert scenes to clips if needed

[@fk9464]

Thx for the quick tutorial how else to do this. Thx alot.

[@LegenDarien313]

I always work in song mode....also I usually place all the sounds in one group....maybe just thr 808 in a separate group for scratcher effect

[@HOLLASOUNDS]

Bolo do you think you might be kinda stuck in your ways? I notice that regardless of what you use you kinda similar beats alot, this sounds very similar to the beat you made on beat maker 3 to Me, still dope you did it in 10 minutes.

[@leogolive]

I’m a try making my next beat the way Bolo did by just using clips. I’m so used to using the patterns that I forget about the clips option now. I’m also used to putting all my drums in one group so I might try using one drum sound per group too.

[@stilltrippin6100]

please tell me you're not giving up on MPC .. Lmaoo .. Bolo you're dope beat fire and im convinced about maschine now .. im gonna try it.. thanks Man

[@action903]

Wassup Bolo. I appreciate your videos. I use FL Studio and machine mk3 independently, sometimes I even use machine software as a vst inside if FL studio. I been working and doing other things and haven’t made many beats lately but you’re motivating me to dust off the mk3 and get back to it. I know u are a MPC guy but please keep this maschine mk3 series going for a while I’d help motivate me and maybe I’ll learn some new tricks along the way. Also if anyone know how to make the bass/808 really hit and thump like in other daws on the mk3 let me know. I honestly think it’s a mixing thing but maybe its something in the mk3 vst/software itself also… oh yeah I also have the machine keyboard but don’t know how sync it with the mk3 and use them together, plus I suck at playing the keys.

[@BluePhaze24x7]

It might just be that the default velocity in "full" for Maschine is 100 instead of 127. You can go into the settings and change it to 127 to get that full hard hit sound.

[@darrelldavis3540]

To get to the main mixer, click on the highlighted section in that mixer, it take you to the main one..if it goes back to the clips just go to that mixer and click it again...let me know if you get that bass and kick to bang out loud enough like the Mpc..Hood Luck with it man....Nice Beat tho..💥

[@trackmusic252]

you going like maschine

[@Steve.Dennis]

I’ve never used the maschine software. Might have to give it a spin!

[@chilli_studios2686]

Happy to share some tips bro... Workflow is vital... Use Maschine MK3 to Navigate and mix etc.

[@MRDa_Producer]

What's up bolo you don't have to use separate banks for each sound you can use each pad per sound per bank, It's a lot easier that way.

[@BoloDaProducer]

I know but I like to edit in clips when I arrange. I like using individual clips with one sound in it when I arrange

[@Stormmy314]

You can click on the mixer button on the the hardware to pull up the mixer board

[@savyswindler]

Brooo holy shit I came here bc I heard that troll beat on insta and I just this prod tag NIGGA IK YOU😂😂😂😂😂 Love from Texas my boy☝🏾

[@thenet3d]

Tip number 1... Get an mpc live 2 or X. Yeah I know you got them already. I had the machine MK2 and just made the switch to the MPC live 2. I guess I'm old because the MPC just makes sense to me. It's incredibly powerful and I keep finding new features that are so easy to use in production. I never figured out the maschine it just wasn't for me. I'm betting you will be back to the MPC. The live 2 especially feels like an instrument. Looking forwards to more videos when you back on the MPC ☺️

[@credible-way]

killin me with all these groups for 1 sound. dope tho

could you please make a series on how to use machine , i do not understand the other tutorials ,

[@herbertdoucet6183]

Yoo bolo idk if you figured this out yet but to view your sends in busses in the mixer you have to press the small little plug-in sign on the side to display the sends and then do the same to view plug in
