NI Maschine tutorial - Arranging Tips (Part 1)

[@thatfunkymusicwhiteboy]

WOOOOOOWWWWWWW single handedly the most informational video I've watched since purchasing maschine. Routing individual sounds into FL or Logic seemed to be the only way to be able to sequence for lengths of time proportional to workflow, and I exclusively use maschine for a plethora of reasons. Should've watched this months ago, you god send!

[@lancegambit9851]

It can be interpreted in a couple of ways but i think he means to say that there are multiple reason he only uses maschine software. If this is the case then the grammar is fine.

[@DylanBuckle]

Another really great tutorial. I can see that this video is well worth repeat viewing. I really like your style of music and your style of teaching, its really clear and easy to follow. You've produced some of the most useful tutorials on Maschine. I've had mine for about three months and I've already done a couple of gigs with it thanks to you.

[@Adsrsounds]

Dylan Turbulence Thanks for the kind words, the support is much appreciated!

[@martinthe3rd664]

Thank you for this! I just completed a general Maschine tutorial and got instantly stuck on how to start arrangements as it seems quite different from how I do it in Logic. Extra points for a soothing voice and lack of "it's ya boiiii, like & subscribe and smash that notification button" etc.

[@WrvrUgoThrUR]

Yeah, I’m so sick of ”ishaboi” it’s almost an instant click of the thumbs down.

[@rawstatustv2358]

Lol,these creativity lackers copy Bkack culture,but hate on Black culture. Sick bunch of dolts.

[@Beavswanee]

Hands down the best video on this I've seen so far. Thanks for the video and keep doing what you're doing!

[@gtothewall]

Damn that beat is super groovy. Probably the best tutorial for arranging I've seen yet. That is where I've been having the most trouble when learning Maschine and my MK3. This really helps a lot! Thank you!

[@theStepFamm]

definitely the best site on youtube. thanks yall

[@Adsrsounds]

Thanks!

[@djsmoothc39able]

This helped me to understand better on how the sequencer works since I'm so used to coming from a MPC state of mind thanks for this tutorial🙌

[@Adsrsounds]

CARL g Glad I could help out!

[@LOGANrenz]

Fuck all these haters bro ! I've been learning so much from your tutorials. Thank You for spending YOUR OWN time to try and help others create music for this world. Your voice isn't plateau at all, i understand why your talking slow, because theirs some dumb ass people out there that need to hear things slower to understand like these lames "trollers" lol anyway great vids and keep them coming man ! You getting views because you're being real and i can tell that your being real . :)

[@Adsrsounds]

Thanks for the support, much appreciated!

[@raelsbro]

Excellent, concise and well produced. Thanks.

[@Adsrsounds]

+Brian Powers Glad you enjoyed!

[@Meekismwisdom]

Yo, I really apprecite you sharing your insight ! The more I learn about this istrument, the more fun I have making beats. That highpass fx is fire ! I

[@speedriff]

Ok, I have subscribed but...where do I start? This video is way advanced and takes for granted that the viewer knows what you are talking about and has an already advanced understanding of Maschine workflow and knows all the shortcuts. I don't and judging from the questions below, I'm not alone. I keep trying to find the video packs (here and elsewhere) that explain workflow in simple consise terms...from a novice view. You are obviously a pro at Maschine but are way above my head. Other people's videos are either too advanced or completely disjointed. Can you point me in the right direction or make a recommendation? To me, Maschine feels non musical and is like trying to speak with an alien. Thanks!

[@hamad.learns]

Amazing video. Extremely useful, I like how your process is very deliberate. Bravo

[@Adsrsounds]

Thanks !

[@musicprotutorials]

So much better seeing the controller.. nice video!

[@RahShanProductionsMTU]

Andrew Chellman great tutorial. Now that i know how to use my controller these are super helpful.

[@OldSchoolVisions]

one of the best adsr videos. thanks a lot

[@DennisOsipov101]

Hi Andrew! Didn't expect to see you here :D

[@vincentpurnell860]

Excellent instruction and examples used in teaching. Excellent job...

[@Adsrsounds]

Vincent Purnell Thanks for the feedback, glad you enjoyed!

[@jaeheda1]

The sample is "Submotion Orchestra - All Yours"

[@Hexspa]

Nitpicking: 5:16 - Recording parameter changes *within* Maschine is called "modulation". When using an external source such as a DAW or other device it's known as "automation". See Chapter 7.5 in the manual.

[@Adsrsounds]

Hexspa Oh cool, I didn't know that, thanks! Also, apparently when you add a pattern to a scene, it is called a "clip." I probably miss a good bit of their terminology... I just hope the overall point comes across!

[@Hexspa]

I didn't know about the clip term. Thanks.

[@cordovastyle3]

man Im so happy you sampled this song love it you killed it mang inspiring for sure keep it up

[@chestergray7956]

I was getting do frustrated with this and finally a tutorial that broke it down exactly to what I needed

[@PhaktTheIsolationist]

Submotion Orchestra - All Yours............... Nice job doing something original with it.

[@williammangus5526]

I put my instruments in different groups but this seems more condensed...maybe I may try this approach for now. thanks for this vid

[@williammangus5526]

this may have changed my whole creative process rs thank you

[@JupiterKidzEnt1]

Great Videos and they're Very Helpful for an Individual such as Myself

[@Freddy_VHS]

one word: Intresting!

[@____i]

good stuff bro. solid drum line and solid sample. can u tell me if you created that kit entirely ? if not, how ?

[@omarbonifacino2230]

Very nice tutorial friend 😊

[@Dewabarasunderan]

Saw this video a little to late...;) Thanks for the video!

[@cyrusjulian187]

Almost 2019 and this video still very helpful. Nice song too btw

[@TenSuns1914]

Great video but being new i cant see what "hot keys" youre using on the pad. Most of us new folks still use a mouse. Im still lost and cant find a video for beginner beginners.

[@shiftskee8049]

WHATS THAT VOCAL SAMPLE???? I NEED IT

[@norisknofun98]

How did u put on the filter? (i have maschine mikro mk 2 and i don t know how to add efects to a pattern from a scene) Is there a way to do that using just software?

[@Btone33]

How do you get all of your instruments on one group?

[@captainmarvel69]

Hi, I just began with maschine and start to understand everything, but i kind of understand with this videos why the last "ideas view" update was a huge and good update for users !!! You can try different combination more easily !! am i right ? Thanks for vids really great ! Cheers

[@mariomiles-turnage2445]

With the sample, did you time stretch it to match the project bpm or just chop it up as is?

[@MrUdontknowme11]

How did you duplicate the drums and then mute some sounds on the duplicated kit without affecting the original? I can't figure this out. Please help. Thanks and great video!

[@MrUdontknowme11]

How did you CLEAR the sounds, not mute.

[@obshaky]

+Juven Maldonado Having the same issue. Seems the easiest way to do this is to create another PATTERN (i.e. pattern 2) by COPY?PASTE the contents of PATTERN 1 then delete and add MANUALLY. Yes, it's a drag, yes it suck, yes NI should add ways to better music composition, but it is what it is. If you have a better way please share away.

[@MrUdontknowme11]

+obshaky Thanks after picking at this Maschine for too long I figured it out! Hey do you know where I can find a tutorial on how to implement effects from the EFFECTS tab? I have yet to learn how to do that. I'm not exactly sure where I'm supposed to APPLY those. Thanks for the help bud!

[@theserulesoflife]

Is that a specific drum kit or drums you sampled?? I need that kick and snare!! 😍😍

[@WrvrUgoThrUR]

Great video and great ideas.

[@beattender]

Hi, are the drums a Machine preset or external sample pack? Same question for the vocal sample! Thank you.

[@PoeticJ21]

when your duplicating your not duplicating to a new scene your staying on the same one right? and if so is this how you are able to change something in the pattern without changing the whole thing?

[@melodyman1662]

How do I move the individual kit sounds around, to different pads?

[@christianjamesmpls]

Where are those strings from? :D Love'em! and thx for the video!

[@Dub_AR]

Good video. Im a little confused on scenes & patterns. I don't fully understand them. Like I don't get the correlation of scenes/patterns & their lengths. Does the scene length have to match the pattern length? & when I'm making a drum pattern for instance, how do I know what length to make it so it flows well? Im all over the place with understanding scenes & patterns

[@TDTMFM]

I'm new too, but I believe that a scenes length is based off of your longest pattern. U can extend a scene, but it just plays the longest pattern longer. Most patterns are 4 bars in length. It's best to stick with that rather than creating an 8 bar pattern. U can duplicate the pattern if you need to make things longer. It's easier to manipulate a 4 bar pattern in an arrangement than anything longer.

[@arcademcFLy]

i have a problem with my new maschine 2.3 upgrade...when i add a limiter the sound just changes and sounds distorted and grainy...unlike the old maschine limiter..but when i turn the limiter feature off...the sound of my beat sounds just fine but it peaks and clips...do u know how to fix this??

[@Adsrsounds]

Trap Beats & Cartoons ★☆ You can try the new (transparent) and old (legacy) modes in the limiter effect. I find the transparent mode to be perfect for my needs - a slight increase in overall volume while preventing clipping. Try to eliminate clipping before adding the limiter and see if that helps.

[@arcademcFLy]

***** i did that and when i put it back to legacy mode...the beat sounds worse for some reason...is the limiter the only way you can lower the volume without clipping???

[@markosotirovic8983]

Awesome! My BIGGEST struggle is tracking out into a DAW (without breaking the flow and being a buzzkill). Do you just do standalone? Was looking for the easiest way and preferably midi still in case I want to edit later...

[@Adsrsounds]

Marko Sotirovic I work just in standalone, yeah. This keeps everything editable for later! Just have to re-render the audio

[@thomasgarrett1996]

hey out of curiosty does the quantize setting 76.2 give you some type of swing.

[@seanh6080]

how did u do that automation? do u have a video on that?

[@Adsrsounds]

Sean H kzbin.info/www/bejne/j3uvlqJnfdloidE should help, if not, just leave another comment!

[@princebutler2239]

i have a big question um i have a loop in one scene and i have the same loop in the next scene but theres always a pause in between scenes before the loop starts again i want the loops to go right into the next one perfectly can you help me?

[@Adsrsounds]

Prince Butler You have to fill the patterns entirely - your scenes are as long as the longest pattern, so make sure that pattern loops well and the scenes should loop well, too.

[@thatfunkymusicwhiteboy]

Btw how do you duplicate a sound and edit it? If I duplicated then add or delete anything it does it to the scourge it was duplicated from. And are you highlight and dragging with keyboard short cuts?

[@jlittlefield1402]

hes using just the maschine i think and holding clear and the button for the layer hes removing

[@estebansanchez5583]

Question: lets say you were to record this in full as a whole beat. wouldn't the certain scenes selected just continually loop itself since you're manually changing to the different scene? how would you go about recording the final beat to put out in it's final form and have the scenes go from one to another without just looping the scene currently selected over and over again? sorry if its a dumb question, im just super new and super confused about loops.

[@jlittlefield1402]

step 1: hold the scene button down and do not release until after step 3 below step 2: select the start scene (whether this is scene 1 or not is of no importance) step 3: select the end scene

[@seldomjoy]

how do you make scenes independent? like i want to repeat a scene but slow down the pattern with out it effecting the 1st scene

[@CM-dq1yy]

+Yung Childs you have to make second pattern for that

[@seldomjoy]

+chris moye so you can't copy a patter?

[@CM-dq1yy]

you can. You press pattern + Duplicate and u pick the pattern u want to duplicate and click pad u want to duplicate it too.

[@CM-dq1yy]

but if for your second scene you want it to be slower than the 1st, then u just have to make a new pattern and put in the notes at a slower rate because no matter what the song will always be at a specific BPM or time signature

[@MikeDeanOfficials]

This is great! What sample is that?? Dying to know

[@Adsrsounds]

Thanks! Your tutorials are great

[@Adsrsounds]

nicos808 Thanks

[@mixxndj]

Very nice video! Thank you!

[@CandyStockBackgroundMusic]

This was really helpful. Thank you!

[@juanabrate4189]

I have the different scenes but it just loops one and doesn't get to the next one, how I deactivate the loop?

[@beckerzineo]

You can drag the edges of the loop selection above the scenes on the timeline. It always loop though, you can only change the size and position of the loop.

[@beckerzineo]

Below the scene name, above the patterns, actually, try dragging the grey bars

[@adolfolopez2609]

Awesome video, I see how it all works and fall into place....I have the MASCHINE MIKRO and I cannot get anywhere near this video demonstrates....ANY HELP, ANYONE!?!?

[@CM-dq1yy]

keep up the amazing videos dawg

[@condoradoGAMES]

where can i hear the finished song? :)

[@soulsynthesiscreations]

Submotion Orchestra rule, great video

[@shiftskee8049]

great tutorials as well!

[@Trizlar]

Dope idea.

[@hueyschemin3135]

any way to make a pattern start "offbeat"? not just a pause but making a pattern come in not right on time? kind of off measure?

[@anxiousmindmusic]

deinrene amazanhall just play it and don't quantize it. Or turn off the grid snap by clicking the hash key symbol on the pattern editor so it's greyed out and you can draw off grid notes

[@AD-rt1ny]

Also, select whatever midi content you want to shift around by highlighting it, then hold shift + nudge and use the wheel to slightly drag the selected midi content to the desired location. This works especially well with making high hats behind the beat and many other effects like that.

[@dashow2003]

Thank you for your post helping me out a lot​

[@DJMeriMero]

where can we get the kits plz?

[@Adsrsounds]

The drums are from Helios Ray, I remember that much!

[@DJMeriMero]

Thank you *****! Helpful tutorial out here people !

[@StackCityEntOfficial]

Whats that sample?

[@daveed0923]

I made a sample in maschine using massive. But I'm trying to start the sound low and gradually bring it up higher but I'm unable to figure out So simple yet so frustrating, I know that on my mk2 I can hold down shift + auto and move around the master volume nob on the massive file while recording and it will save. I know there's more ways to do so but I'm hitting a wall I can't get around on my own. On ableton you can just go to the volume envelope adjust how you prefer. But it's just that simple lack of knowledge I'm missing on maschine any help out there? Thnks

[@Adsrsounds]

infamousd You can do this a couple of ways. You could use the amplitude envelope (ADSR or AHD) in the sampler, or go to sampling mode, then edit, and then do a fade-in. Check out my video on editing samples. I would recommend the amplitude envelope method because it is non-destructive.

[@Adsrsounds]

***** my bad, someone from the ADSR team already got back - so you got a couple of options!

[@princebutler2239]

what sample is the song from?

[@Robinexs]

Genius ! Impeccable tutorial but... HOW IN THE WORLD you remember every single step of the path you followed when composing the track??

[@rodneypope9451]

man, i was like wth at first. i usually do my arranging within the software using the mouse. but i learned a lil hardware here.

[@joshie290]

I'm currently very new to maschine and i used to work with fl studio and some midi devices. i REALLY wish you would have slowed down and said what buttons u pushed and explained things out more. alot of your tutorials you assume that the viewer knows certain things about the maschine that they dont, such as myself. bottom line all i know how to do is slice samples.

[@dinomirez]

Enlightening thanks for the video

Wouldn't it be something if Maschine JUST LET YOU DRAG PATTERNS TO WHATEVER THE F**K BAR LENGTH YOU WANTED?

[@tuffluck83]

Sean C man helll yea just like reason just straight to the point this shit seems complicated to me idk maybe I’m just slow

[@wingsofsteel3246]

@@tuffluck83 this shit IS complicated, I swear they make it this way on purpose; I've had a Maschine mkIII for over a month now, and all I can make it do is play some songs some loupe artists made for ppl to sample the kit/sounds ; This shit is waayyyyy more complicated than need be

[@brodiemeans7161]

I don't even care about the tutorial that beat was buttery

[@DamianC]

This is actually one of the first times I've seen a tutorial where the beat is dope too. All these other cats still spreading that Kick on every beat B.S.

[@Reaching1]

Great tutorial, .......not. Just got my Maschine MK3 today, worked my way through the "quick" start guide, which is 200 pages long, lol, and I still don't know what you're talking about. I can record a drum loop, duplicate it and thats it. how do I arrange this shit?

[@Maxified666]

Thanks bruh.

[@frogarmour]

most tutorials have some shiity ass songs but i have to say man, this joint slapped

[@shadowhenge7118]

Maschine, even now in 2020, is really only a pattern looper. Its just too diffucult to insert anything interesting without a ton of scenes and pattern variations. We need fills and conditionals like elektron has.

[@dbXseven9]

I'll have to watch this 3 times to catch on to what you're saying. Your voice is plateau and there are no changes in tone to know you're talking about something else.

[@Adsrsounds]

dbXseven9 Is there anything I can clear up? Sorry.
