Recording Audio with Live FX in Maschine! Maschine FX Hack-2019

[@Peejbayou]

I remember years ago when this video first came out this video didn’t apply to me because I didn’t have the mark three so I skipped it but now I have the mark three and I’m watching this video. Life is very full circle and I appreciate your work.

[@jefgibbons]

So glad to hear that, thanks!

[@BeauTylerMakesMusic]

Back here watching this video again because there's always a step I skip. You've now saved me about 20 times lol. Thanks, as always, brother.

[@jefgibbons]

Thanks dude! If it’s any consolation, I’ve come back to this video at least twice just to remind myself how to do it!

[@SeanMadden]

Quickly becoming my favorite channel on KZbin for Maschine tutorials. Another great one Jef.

[@jefgibbons]

Thanks again Sean!

[@dazeja]

I completely agree. I already know Maschine pretty well, but I learn even more with this channel . Even with the beginners videos.

[@thearkuhtekt]

Yup. I've been following Jef for a while now, and I have to agree as well. If there's a one-word description for him, it's "clutch".

[@rogerpearson3043]

Excellent - love the comping procedure in maschine. Thanks for explaining it. I’ll be watching this video a few times no doubt.

[@broocewhane1142]

"Becoming"?!?😮 If you have a favorite thats not Jeff PLEASE fill us in. I'm uber curious to know who breaks it down better.

[@TimothyDempsey]

I realize you likely haven't thought about this in a year or so, but I am so grateful for the time you saved me. Thank you. One of the clearest, most jargon-free, direct/concise videos ever on Maschine. Best wishes.

[@RaidenMotion]

May be is that the most best channel i have visited, i am glad to be aprt of that content, thanks

[@zacharyjames4121]

This lesson just blew my mind man. The ability to essentially track playlists seemingly is pretty awesome

[@dark1p]

Jeff is a treasure trove of info. I didn't realize how easy it is to record into Maschine--and not have to deal with my tempermental, off-putting Cubase software. Thanks, Jeff!!

[@mano123456]

Fantastic tutorials, thank you. I've used Maschine (Studio) for a couple of years, and although I've made quite a few songs with it, some of the concepts have remained confusing. Your videos have made everything crystal clear. Native Instruments does not explain it as well as you do.

[@jefgibbons]

Man I appreciate that! Glad it’s helping!

[@conceptualbrim2585]

YOU'RE AWESONE MAN! GREAT TUTORIAL AND THAT TRACK IS DOPE !

[@DanBaileyPhoto]

Another helpful tutorial. Was trying to record guitar into Maschine and couldn't figure how to make it work. It's definitely different than Logic, but I'm starting to get a feel for the Maschine/Komplete ecosystem, and I'm finding it to be a great platform for sketching ideas and quickly recording demo tracks. Thanks, Jef! You're quickly becoming my go-to reference for help with any Native Instruments stuff! 👍

[@sergiocar98]

Thank you I was able to use it when I rec rap vocals thank you

[@ryanoshaughnessy1109]

First I learned to sample because of your tutorials over quarantine and made over 100 beats. Now I’m ready to start recording my guitar and bass. Wouldn’t be possible with out your help. Thank you man! 🙏

[@RD-qn4gt]

Wow, your a very good teacher. Every question I have had in my head of "How to" and then I do a search to see, you pop up. And trust me these How to are very important if I am going to replace what I am currently doing. Never knew MK3 could be a complete DAW. You just have to think in different terms.

[@jefgibbons]

So great to hear. Let me know if you have a video in mind you’d like to see from me!

[@kenholz4321]

This is exactly what I was having issues with. Great video explaining how it’s done correctly 👍

[@CosmosnCarnage]

This is going to completely change the way I work, this is sooo helpful Jeff thank you!

[@mau-zap]

Great one. I set my Guitar Group Output on None, and route the Sounds to the Guitar-Rig Pads instead.

[@jakobzimmermann5686]

Why didn't i find this channel earlier? I was looking for so long how to properly record guitar in Maschine. You had the solution. Thank you so much Jef!!!

[@dmytroromantsov9847]

Thanks a lot! Hope in some versions NI will make some change that allows more intuitive flow.

[@zebra404]

I was wondering for months how to fix this problem. Thanks for sharing

[@HowieStephens]

Five years later and this video is still a great start for getting this working, thanks! But I actually just figured out that you can do basically the same thing all within one group now. (I don't know if this was possible in 2019 or not ) Say I'm in group F. The group input and output are just default (out to master). On sound slot 16 I've loaded my VST: Fortin Nameless Suite X (an amp sim). That sound #16 Input Audio is "In 1 R" from my audio interface, and Output Audio is "Group." At this point I can already play the guitar and hear the processed audio live. Then on sound slot #1, go to Output parameters, set Audio to F1:S16 which refers to that slot where the VST is loaded. Switch to the Record page (the little waveform icon) and set the Input Source to "Ext. Mono" and "In 1 R" again. Start recording and play the guitar, and end up with the *clean* audio recorded. Maschine automatically gives the slot the internal Sampler plugin. And now when you trigger that Sound either in software or on the hardware pad, you hear the processed audio. I'm super new to Maschine myself but can already see the possibilities in having a group full of cool riffs to then record a pattern with.... fun stuff PS I also just accidentally figured out how to record *processed* audio into the sound slot instead of clean, by changing the Input Source on the Record page to Internal - slot F16 (again, that's where the VST is loaded) instead of Ext.Mono. I guess in this case you'd want the sound's output to just go to group instead of F16 otherwise it would be processing it through the VST twice. Maybe this is all obvious stuff to a Maschine expert but I ended up watching this video cuz I had no idea what I was doing and now I feel like I'm on the right track. Thanks!

[@Sing4DLaughter]

I was almost breaking my gear here... lol thanks a lot pal! huge sub, you're a life savior

[@jidbangaz5705]

i was about to buy uad to remove latency issues i have with my focusrite. this is a nice way to do vocals tracking in machine with effects

[@ZX-6R]

So interesting that I was going to take notes until I heard the conclusion. Don't even need to take a pen..... Jeff thanks so much!!!

[@Seriouspup]

yup works, tried to do this myself and idk where I went wrong but thanks Jeff. Another needed Maschine workaround into the memory bank

[@JD-np9ii]

Jeff you are awesome brother! You are a true gift the music making community! God Bless

[@oschu7820]

Great Video again! Even if i do not play guitar it helps to understand how to route signals through effect-slots. Fantastic lesson for beginners like me! Thumbs up!

[@jefgibbons]

+O Schu78 thanks!! Yeah, I’m getting my brain around maschine signal flow, it’s a different way of thinking!

[@joshuawilder5199]

Hi Jeff, thanks again for everything you do! I have a question about this and a prior video. I'm curious as to the biggest differences & advantages/disadvantages to using the aux channels in the output section vs the audio channel. It seems that with certain tweaks they can do very similar things?

[@Isaacthompson]

Really helpful video! Thanks 😊

[@cyborgchimpy]

thank youu so much! I so needed this. I hope you know you are a standard recommendation for tutorials in multiple individual Maschine communities! you do a great job

[@fabriceletourneur5191]

Awesome tips, thx very much. The only downside to this is if you want to record one track with a clean guitar rig sound and a solo with distortion on top. I haven't found an easy way to do that.

[@wkhatch]

I'm a big fan of your tutorials, and this one in particular, as I'm a guitar player primarily, but I love the composition capabilities of maschine. As a relatively new user to Maschine, this was a definite missing link. Thank you!!

[@jefgibbons]

Glad it helped William!

[@eddievolondo]

More golden tips from Jef, thank you so much. I'm applying this to my voice during my little live skits and it's been a brilliant addition.

[@Cmarcellusboc]

dude............ you saved my life today! thank you!

[@blacktminister415]

Brilliant. Thank you very much. I struggled with this for a long time. Very clearly explained!

[@jefgibbons]

Thanks +Black T Minister ! Yeah, I spent a good chunk of time scratching my head over this...

[@lofi_soul_jazz]

thank you Jeff, was pulling my hair out on this one and now to try and see if i can get it to work myself!

[@nonokbh]

Brilliant video, thank you. My problem though is to add another effect (Group F) for another group of guitar (Group G). The new guitar sampled in Group F will systematically be routed to the very first effect I defined in Group A even though I am routing to Group F:S1. Tips ?

[@danielstaff4742]

What about recording wet? I've been enjoying some looping with machine the past few days but I can't seem to find how to apply FX on the way into the sampler so that every take that comes in has the FX applied

[@joreilly]

Did you ever figure out how to do this? That's what I'm struggling with now too.

[@mikepatrick1263]

Same

[@elsunmusic3130]

This scenario brought me here. Any luck?

[@DanielStaff_]

Sorry no luck in the end

[@coreymonk]

Bus the sound back out to another channel and record wet on that one

[@guylloyd200]

Hi Jeff, great video. Very helpful content! Can you do this with microphone? I've tried this exact way but doesn't seem to be working the same?

[@Yahoomediaclub]

Fab Jeff...I use Helix Rack, is there vids on a similar set up please? Going via a mixer Thanks

[@toecalldronefootage.7408]

Love your maschine vids Jef!

[@jefgibbons]

Thanks so much! Glad to hear it!

[@futurewillow3269]

Thanks helped alot, so I have an mk3 and a jam. What I cant figure out is how to change a group on either the mk3 or jam without changing the group on the other device.

[@maztektrends6223]

Awesome, works for tracking effects on vocals too THANKS!!

[@XHuntinatorX]

Good stuff Jeff. Would I need a DI box if I were using the MKIII as my audio interface? I don’t get a very good line level going into L1 but I can if I go through the MIC input. I’m sure that isn’t the proper way, though it does seem to work. Thanks for the info.

[@djembeboyzach]

Great, I have being trying to figure out how to record guitar for sketching and jamming for years with total fail. This looks like a good work around. I see this is old, did you ever come up with a way to do with using one group?

[@paulpetschnig5883]

Thanks so much, i tried it for days and that made my life so much easier now!!

[@bunkabeats]

I have one problem, What if I want to have two different sounds for my guitar? How do you switch between the two sounds?

[@Lavonda_Rocks]

I have the same question, and can't find any info...Josh, did you ever find the answer?

[@nonokbh]

Same here. Even though I am defining a new sound or group with Guitar Rig and link to the guitar input also in a new group it will always route through the very first Guitar rig effect. I am stuck !

[@812JB]

What do you mean?

[@billwallace2755]

You should be able to add more than one effect to that one sound.

[@dontaskalexmusic]

just like on the first sound with guitar rig on it you can create a second one with guitar rig aswell. Now you can just switch the outputs quickly on the other group. You can add more aswell

[@NGAPFWEJEPANBDIS]

Exactly what I was trying to figure out!! Thanks man!

[@theviewfromthepanopticon1852]

been trying to do this since buying machine studio....thank you so much :]

[@MatrixxSoundlab]

This was helpful in that, I have a track with Performance FX on groups G and H. Everything is routed to G. And G is routed to H. Now I'm ready to track out stems in my DAW, but I want them raw, with Performance FX on thier own tracks. I'm still trying to figure out the most efficient way to do it WITHOUT having to do multiple passes, one for every individual sound.

[@nick3795]

Unlocking the power of Maschine! Thanks Jeff great video, it must have been cool to discover how to do this, peace :)

[@jefgibbons]

It was! Took me a while to figure it out…

[@drewb9995]

Huge thanks with the routing issue Jeff! So stoked to get that working, but am wondering how can you also record the effects? Is that not possible? I'm very new to Maschine...

[@812JB]

Hell yeah. I've been trying to do this for vocals.

[@MichaelSmith-mb1gm]

Little gems all the time sir! Thank you=)

[@jefgibbons]

My pleasure!

[@iknikblackstone9082]

awesome tutorial man, straight to the point . thank you very much

[@agentlead]

i could never figure this out myself..thanks for the tip.

[@kevinbel5661]

I was looking for this for a long time ! Thank You very much ! :)

[@Yahoomediaclub]

Great Vids ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🎸 more guitar with Maschine sampling/ looper ideas pls 🤞🤪🥳

[@jefgibbons]

More coming!

[@vlove888]

Great vid sir! This was vid I was waiting for, it helped a lot thank you.

[@jefgibbons]

Glad it helped! It stumped me for months....

[@AnthonyGrau]

Thank you so much !!! Your content is very appreciated. I'd like to see lessons about composing songs in differents genres with maschine and Komplete if you ever lack of inspiration ;) See you !

[@jefgibbons]

Thanks for the suggestion Anthony!

[@krazykane783]

Awesome! Think I found the video I need. Will this same setup work with my banshee talkbox while using massive to record live?

[@manvince]

Thanks for sharing this Jef. I really appreciate your lessons. I'm new to maschine but I still prefer to record, edit and mix in pro tools. This will be a nice addition to my workflow. Cheers!!

[@jefgibbons]

+manvince glad to hear it! Yeah, it solves a very specific problem, probably doesn’t come up that much!

[@5starstudiomedia]

Thanks again Jef for another great instructional video.

[@pauldrzal4431]

Thanks so much Jef! Exactly what I needed.

[@julienDrcq]

Thanks mate you doing a great job!, this tutorial of how to record instruments in machine a very missing!, so thanks for your great job mate! NI NEED TO DO MORE TUTORIAL ON HOW JUST TO MAKE A PRODUCTION WITH RECORD INSTRUMENTS AND EDITING THEM GUITAR acoustic, electric, amps guitars, voices!

[@Zer0Spinn]

Thanks for making this video but having to do this is just dumb. I like maschine, that's why I don't sell it, but some things about the workflow need to be fixed asap. Let's see what they bring us in the future updates now that they're going for the full DAW experience.

[@brettcollums3555]

I agree. Having to do all this is just stupid

[@falazarte]

Dang!! Great video. Maschine is so powerful

[@thabeachmaster324]

Sidechaining we're ducking the purpose of that is to allow two different sounds or instruments to play together without one sound overpowering the other sound. in this case it's not my bass that is drowning out the drums. it's the guitar sound when I record and then play it you can't really hear other instrument sound uhm well like melody or bass sounds. drums come in fine along guitar but other instruments are ano go. so should I go to like the EQ plugin of the guitar and cut out some of the frequency from the top and the bottom to allow other instruments to be able to be heard? What can I do is it because of the signal, from not using a do box?

[@gibson2623]

Aren t those inputs line level? The guitar is not.....the signal from guitar must be very low, since it s not hiZ the preamp.....Right? ....I supose for this scenario a DI box would be needed for better results. In maschine + we can use a soundcard with good preamps, as the maschine can host it via usb. I got an mk3 recently and I could not see myself recording a guitar in it since I have all this kind of audio interfaces with good preamps. Anyway, was a very nice video, and learnt new things. Thank you.

[@Fons909]

Interesting tutorial Jef. I read in the Maschine manual that it is possible to insert an fx plug-in on a sound or on a group. Do you know what difference it makes?

[@peaveyimpact]

Puttin fx on the group will affect ALL of the pads in that group; putting fx on a sound will affect only that individual pad.

[@fritzhuber6832]

How about automation? I'm using an fcb1010 to control Guitar Rig inside Maschine. How do I record eg pedal movement for wah, button press for turning fx on/off? Can it be done with guitar rig in another group? Thanks for your help - appreciate this channel a lot!

[@keyvonsilva3297]

thanks jef Aways serving heat

[@freddymatthewsmusic]

Great tutorial, thank you - I'm wondering about editing the guitar audio / synth audio once it is recorded. I'm newer to Machine but it looks like there has been some added capabilities with editing audio (edit, split, normalize, fade in, fade out, etc.) I haven't been able to find any tutorials that demonstrate how to use the maximum editing capabilities in Machine. Reaper is always my go-to for DAW and fully editing as it is my first love, however I'm seeing some very cool advantages to work flow with machine and added ability to (easily and intuitively) edit sound waves as I can in Reaper would mean that I wouldn't need to go outside of Machine for very much. Seems its on its way to being a competitive and unique powerful DAW in its own right...

[@NematSolat]

Thank you Jef, this was really useful 👍 😊

[@joshuadavid1804]

I'm hoping for a clips mode tutorial soon! :)

[@ZakariahsMusic]

Thank you so much for this! Great for vocals

[@OUTSS1]

Helpful video! Keep maschining bruh!

[@jefgibbons]

Every day!

[@Adler0]

This so awesome!!! Thank you so much!!! What a game changer!!!!

[@addiegirixx7581]

I tried recording my guitar straight into maschine. The sound wasnt that audible. Do I need DI or is there any way I can use my audio interface with maschine?

[@jefgibbons]

Definitely can use your audio interface. Just go to the Maschine prefs and select your audio interface as the Device from the audio list. Hopefully that sorts you out!

[@Jbsantos54]

Thats wat im trying to learn Record guitar on it👍🏻🎸

[@HowleySounds]

Man! You are a life saver! Thanks so much for your videos :)

[@EurocorpFx]

Thanks, man! You're a life saver 🖤

[@EurocorpFx]

Man I tried this right after I found your video, I think I need a mew guitar because it's on fire 🔥

[@jefgibbons]

That’s great!! Thanks for letting me know… love hearing this stuff!

[@arkpnbf04]

Awesome video, does it work the same way for vocals?

[@DJOPELISHERE]

Cannot figure out to have the Machine Jam sound out and into the Traktor S4 MK3? Also, Do not under stand Machine Record that is not recording at all.

[@swiftmello123]

Great video! I'm assuming this will work with my keyboard also as long as i set the input on machine to the correct channels on my interface!

[@edgardmartinez4170]

Hey great tutorial. I have a question. What about if you want to have to guitars with 2 different guitar gig ?

[@toonappeltans]

Another awesome video Jef, exactly what I was struggling with! Maybe it's because I'm coming from a more traditional DAW workflow, but it feels like Maschine does make us jump through quite a few hoops to integrate live sounds into your compositions. Just to be clear: when you're recording an external instrument without any effects, do you just use a single group and turn monitoring on in the sample editor? Or are there any other benefits to working with two groups?

[@jefgibbons]

+Wouter Appeltans thanks! Yeah, as you said, if no fx are needed, just one group with monitor on, then add fx to that same group later if needed.

[@rekomusic633]

You… made my day!!! Thnx a lot men!

[@juanpablogiraldo3113]

Hey Jeff! Greetings from Colombia 🇨🇴. Huge fan and I've learned a lot from your videos. Thank you for sharing all of this great content. Something really annoying that happens to me when using the loop function with Maschine MK3 is that every time I record the loop and it loops for the first time, there is a weird lag that makes it sound terrible (even if the performance was perfect and everything is where it should be). I realized this doesn't happen to you on your video, and I am wondering if you know what the cause can be. I am using Maschine MK3 inside pro tools, so maybe that has something to do with it. What I'd like to do is to record the loop, and for Maschine to loop it perfectly after the rec is off. However, the first time it loops right after rec is off is terrible. This is really a shame because I'd like to use it for live performances where I am making the loops live. Finally, it's not that the timing is wrong because if I stop playback and play it from the start, the loops are fine. It only happens on the first turn of the loop right after the rec bars are over (which in my case is after 4 bars). Hope it makes sense!

[@klausherbert3040]

Thanks! U got an advice about how you record performfx?

[@patrickziegler4071]

Having issues recording external audio. When recording to a group. everything is ok as long as in Ideas view. But, using the group in a scene in song view, the track doesn't start when it should. starts late and continues after the scene is over. I must be doing something wrong... Any help?

[@tomasdada8136]

Hi Jeff, I really like your tutorials, I appreciate it very much the way you explain. I would like to ask you something about fx in maschine. I will work with maschine mikro mk3 (I will receive it in a couple of days). Maschine mikro doesnt have any knobs. If I have other midi controller, can I control the fx parameters with it in order to play live performances using the effects in real time? I know I can use fx perform function, but If want to manipulate just one specific sound with fxs (fx perform, you know, just allow some effects and only for groups). Thanks for your attention and your tutorials. Greetings from Spain!

[@fatherloz2800]

Yes you can, search google for "midi mapping controller for maschine". EX: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iF7admZprsyDlas

[@axelpteeg]

Thank you so much !! I had been struggling with this for a while !! let's play guitar !!

[@Dee-o5h]

Can I add effects to vocals for one shots with sounds like talking piano

[@petrknedlik]

Awesome, thank you!

[@jefgibbons]

Most welcome Petr!

[@toecalldronefootage.7408]

Hi Jeff just wondering what audio interface you use?

[@Love1taps]

But what if you want to print the effects

[@HowleySounds]

Hey Jeff! I had a related, but slightly different question and wondered if you had any insight: If I had two different audio channels, and wanted to have them both set up to loop, is there some way to keep each channel set to different External mono input sources in the sampler? Or perhaps make the sampler input follow the Sound Input source? I've been digging through the manual and scouring the web for hours now.

[@stonibaloni]

Have you ever used a foot pedal to start/stop record in while looping in sampling mode? For some reason when I use a foot pedal it waits until the next bar to stop the loop recording where as when I use stop at the top of the right screen it stops recording the loop instantly. Such a pain in the ass and can't find anything about this.

[@tansentunes2736]

hi Jef, Need your help in connecting my guitar to mk3 and do live sampling. My Flow is acoustic guitar>Komplete audio6(input1), output balanced L>Line 1 to Mk3. I have changed the settings in Mk3 as per instructions provided in Komplete portal. Still I am not getting any signals to record. Can you please help

[@Laederon]

Check the connections, it should work on external mono 1 left ch

[@buchanannny]

So dang helpful. Thank you

[@jefgibbons]

It’s a puzzle that one!
