The best way to organize your Maschine Expansions (Feat. Crate Cuts) tutorial

[@patrickcurley6934]

honestly never knew I could find my expansion kits under projects like that

[@andrewhoyle2669]

That "Happy accident" was on point my dude

[@grrlinduluth]

thanks alot really good teaching-the duplicate method tip explains alot and solves newbie issues,since i got my maschine as a newbie going through all the sounds i did mark favs and figured i might as well save my ideas/loops i made from each i did it the hard way saving patterns in groups but not organized and duplicated...just got 18 expansions from the sale so this helps knowing ...

Great vid man! I wasn’t even looking for this content, but I also didn’t know it was what I needed. Thanks!

[@DreamslideProductions]

Glad I could help

[@TaiWyban]

Nice video. Thanks for sharing your workflow!

[@RyNeaSoulMusic]

Pretty cool tut, I'll try this out. Thanks for sharing. Your video is nice too. What programming are using to record and put the screens together?

[@DreamslideProductions]

OBS and Adobe premiere

[@RyNeaSoulMusic]

Really? I've been thinking about OBS but just haven't had the time to explore it. I will make some time.

[@DreamslideProductions]

@@RyNeaSoulMusic its very capable software that can do a lot when you wrap your head around. I probably only know about 30% of what OBS can do. But it's free so you can't beat that

[@DonHajicek]

Thank you! I love your music and thank you for sharing your knowledge, too.

[@DreamslideProductions]

Thanks🙏🏾🙏🏾 much appreciated!

[@astorcortes9537]

Excellent, really like your content man, just subbed... what do u do after this? I hope u can make a second part

[@DreamslideProductions]

Thanks for your comment. I should do a follow up to address some of the questions I got since the video, that is a good idea. But to answer your question. You can then right click on a blank group and load your fav sounds when you are in need of them, or have your fav NI groups on hand when you want to skip to only the stuff you like

[@BassZeke]

Please turn the volume down on the background. Otherwise, really insightful video! Thanks :)

Great vid! I’m new to Maschine and this will help with my workflow and finding sounds. 👍🏾💪🏾

[@DreamslideProductions]

Welcome to the machine family, feel free to suggest video ideas that could be helpful.

Why I cant copy/paste on my Mk3 Mikro like you do in minute 7:30? I even followed the instructions manual on page 191 which is essentially your method here.

[@DreamslideProductions]

I don't have a mk3 mikro, I have a mk2 mikro. Are you sure you are using duplicate for sounds or effects(have to use software for effects I think) ? Copy paste for events(midi info)

[@jexmartinez9343]

@@DreamslideProductions Thank you sir. I checked the NI Forums but they all post the same resolution procedure as you explain here in this video. It seems to work for some people. In software I have no problem, I copy paste sounds from one group to another with all the FX as you recommended, which is important. Also, I am using an new iMac with an M1 chip. Soooo, I wonder if that has anything to do, but hey the user manual tell you how to do it. Thank you.

[@DreamslideProductions]

@@jexmartinez9343 that's odd, hopefully it gets ironed out. Seems like something I'd need a video explaining what's happening, but either way. If it works on the software at least you're not stuck with no resolution. Good luck

[@juice__dabarber]

question once done do you save the groups in the user tab or how do you save all the groups I don't think you put that in the vid. thanks

[@DreamslideProductions]

..... you might be right, i should really do a part 2 to this soon. but you right click on the group you made and hit save. it will automatically go to the user tab (or you have to rescan in your user section of preferences

[@crashbang999]

Very good idea. What do you do after you have all your fav sounds? Do you make another group with a bit of everything from those groups and make a tune?

[@DreamslideProductions]

Yea that's the point, if you already found your favorite 100 sounds out of 700. Then you'll write songs that much faster without getting lost in options you won't use

[@crashbang999]

@@DreamslideProductions i tried it earlier and with 8 groups open and once I started adding to those groups plus auditioning the groups my CPU couldn't handle it so gonna upgrade my RAM as only have 8 at the moment then I will try again. Dope video though

[@DreamslideProductions]

@@crashbang999 I should have mentioned that as a possible issue. A good way around that is to mute your non audition groups that way no cpu is being used on the sounds in those groups but they can still save your samples/loops, and you can unmute one at a time to check and reference. Hopefully that makes sense. Thanks for watching, and your questions! I'm sure this info will help others too

[@crashbang999]

@@DreamslideProductions sounds good ill try that till I upgrade. Started doing this on Soul Magic expansion then was gonna work backwards on the expansions

[@ericwells7209]

Just saw your video and I did subscribe to your channel so let me ask do you save the groups with the sounds you like, and if so they will always be in that group correct?

[@DreamslideProductions]

Yes, and correct

[@ericwells7209]

Thanks again 👊🏿

[@socproductionsofficialtv1]

IM NEW in maschine and i cant understand how you can play in the same time tha drums and the melodys in pad mode....i mean the layers....for me it would be right to have the melody-sample to play on top of that me playing live the drums....but you make it in the same time how??? from 12:25 ane beyond

[@DreamslideProductions]

Oh that is the purpose a sound or sample being in "one shot". Once you find your sample's tempo you play according to that. And when you strike the sample it will play out it's melody or sound to tempo. With anything practice makes perfect. You'll probably be doing it in no time

[@agray1613]

I have the same Akia micro chord collecting dust. How do you use it with Maschine? Maybe I can implement in my system

[@DreamslideProductions]

you mean the lpk25? thats just configuring the midi settings in maschine once it sees its connected. i use it for a nice compact setup especially when im mobile

[@agray1613]

@@DreamslideProductions Cool, thank you!

[@zow7604]

I'm new to the MK3 Family ? may me a dum ? just wanna be sure after i finish organize my Maschine Expansions how do i say it ( save as or project )

[@DreamslideProductions]

Sorry just saw this, you right click the group header and save as group. Good luck and welcome to the maschine fam!
