Literally the single most clear explanation of scenes, patterns, etc. I've ever seen. This cleared up a lot of lingering questions in my head and helped a lot of things finally 'click.'

[@jayfoster]

100% this

[@radpix]

Very true and helpful and finally makes me understand more the weird but also bam helpful structures of Maschine Just got my designed Mk3, really fun

[@TheWhistleMan]

Same!

[@dariofromthefuture3075]

Agreed

[@codename9988]

it taught me how to use the software. Jef is the man

[@alexanderkollock3468]

Best explanation on arranging in maschine on KZbin.....thank you!!! Keep it coming!

[@jefgibbons]

Thanks so much Alexander, will do!

[@fishbear999]

@@jefgibbons First time I've REALLY understood this Jef - keep going because these are SO useful!

[@DoctorJRx]

agreed !! very comprehensive.. only other video is from NI and they only released that video in 2018

[@bjlevi5768]

agreed! subed

[@nmagain24]

Word.

[@bonniebartulovich4909]

Hours of tutorials and the first 2 minutes of this has already simplified everything SO MUCH! Legend!

[@jefgibbons]

Thanks Bonnie!!

[@leebrown143]

same here i couldnt find a video which showed how to create groups, scenes and to basically build a track its not that obvious in maschine compared to other DAW's

[@rbouknight921]

I am new to Maschine. I've been watching dozens of videos trying to get helpful information on how to use the system. YOUR VIDEO IS THE BEST. The people from NI and other channel artists have not been clear about what's going on. They jump all around with no clear workflow pattern (at least not to this newbie), they move too fast (as if they don't want you to learn what they're doing) and they're camera shots and audio are not always in the best positions for one (me) to learn. Your video, on the other hand, is the absolute best instructional video that I've seen. You were concise, deliberate and you took time to explain and show what you were doing. Your words, your hands and your screen shots, etc. were always in sync. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. Now if youwcould just make a video on how to use Maschine Jam. Lol.

[@WarrenSpelunker]

There are so many videos out there by people who seem to know what they're talking about, but finally here's one by somebody who knows how to talk about what they know. You're such a clear communicator.

[@jefgibbons]

Appreciate it Warren!

[@mellaytheghost]

"So let me just put in a pattern" plays a loop that would take me 4 hours to come up with

[@Emotionz223]

4 hours though lol

[@YungPlumber1]

Its just GOTTA be a faster way....

[@moibahsmenu1851]

Been feeling soo bad about not even producing one beat on my machine, now I finally get it! Thx boss!

[@jefgibbons]

Nice! Makes my day man, thanks!!

[@mike58greenberg]

This tutorial is a Godsend. I was feeling frustrated and now I can’t wait to jump back in!

[@Jiiri]

Jef, thanks so much. I am a former professional trombonist trying to learn new ways to interact with music, and I bought a Maschine MK3 recently in order to play with samples and arranging in a more intuitive way than I was getting from my DAW. I have subscribed to multiple learning sites, ordered courses from Udemy, and watched dozens of KZbin videos in an attempt to learn more quickly. It has been tough, because most of the videos gloss over concepts that are taken for granted, or they blow through the concept so fast that I don't have time to understand it. Your videos are the first that move at a pace and with a clarity of communication that, for me, are the best available that I have encountered. Thank you so much. (I also picked up a Kontrol s61, so I hope you do videos on using that with Maschine Mk3 if you haven't already!) Thanks a ton, Jef. Music enriches lives in a non-trivial way, and these tools allow for a democrtization of music that further enriches lives. Facilitating that should make you feel like what you're doing matters, because it does.

[@jefgibbons]

Thanks for the great review! It really is incredible knowing that these videos are helping people out!

[@dragonprototype3883]

Finally someone that explains and makes it easy to understand. Does not stutter, pause or go off point. Thank you.

[@jefgibbons]

Thanks! I do a fair bit of editing out the ums to be honest though ;)

[@nonyabizness8692]

it always amazes me how simple songs sound so alive with the right arrangement.

[@livingroomgroove]

Great job here... ONLY video on youtube that logically breaks it down.. thanks

[@ProdbyJoshMack]

Finally first time in years that someone explained it in simple terms

[@klaytonvonkluge4905]

Between Jeff here, Doug from "Sound Test Room" , AG Got Beats , and a few others , (there are many out there) this stuff is finally starting to make sense, I haven't had time to sit down and figure it out until last months, but FINALLY getting somewhere! Thanks to all of you .....

[@hectorsalcedo1851]

One of the clearest, simplest, straight forward tutorial ever. Thanks a lot!!

[@BreHill74]

I now know what was holding me back. I really appreciate your kindness. Thank you!!

[@nomad3036]

So clear, so well made, NI themselves couldn't do a better job. Thank you! I wish Maschine was better integrated with Logic or Ableton.

[@BattleBrosGaming]

Agreed..it would be awesome if it could be exported directly to Ableton!

[@stephanedeheselle8810]

It's the best tuto vid on youtube about Patterns, Scenes and arranging , thank you !

[@discjunkiesDGT]

DUDE!!!!! Finally, someone puts it together in a way we can get! Thank you~

[@SamSilk]

Man you have a talent to be clear and straight to the point, I like your videos. And your image quality is awesome.

[@joeymc5272]

Best Tutorial i have seen in awhile. You literally explain everything perfectly in detail and simple terms for people to understand who are new or want to have a better workflow. Most youtube videos who write tutorial or beginners guide do not show step by step guides. They give broad explanations and just want you to watch them filming themselves making a beat. Awesome man. Definitely get a thumbs up for this one.

[@clevelandrockmore656]

The BEST tutorial on creating scenes and patterns I have scene in 3 years! Thank you kind Sir!

[@jeffthomas4246]

Hey Jef! This is Jeff from California. I just wanted to wish you a Happy and Prosperous 2022. I know you're going to take it to the top!! I wish you tremendous success! Your success will help me be a better producer. So I stand behind you 100%! Thanks again Jeff

[@tytreats]

Thank you sooooo much...your the only one who really breaks this stuff down. Learn more from you than anyone else. More more more

[@MCCollet]

I love the way you teach structure in context of use. As a newbie on Maschine this is priceless!

[@nickcyr5071]

Jef these videos are amazing, thank you so much for putting these together!

[@Duskybuka]

Once again, thank you so much! Your teaching style works so well for the way I learn. I have used my Mashine more the last few weeks then I have in the previous 12 months and that is all down to you! 😊

[@ron2298]

Thank you for these videos. You are a really good teacher. You explain every step in full and go over it a few times. Awesome thank you again. Stay safe

[@southlandrecordings]

first tutorial that i watch from the beginning till end without skipping.. this video makes it easy to understand. Thanks!

[@Cactuspractice12]

2 mins in and subbed. Clear and without waffle, which is what ALL the tutes are bogged down in. Excellent!

[@sinitarium]

It is so enjoyable to learn from passionate people on youtube :-) Thanks again very much for you amazing tutorial videos! You really do have a gift for teaching this.

[@aleksandrakuczynska8334]

Jef, the best explanation how to work with machine. It's so easy. Thank you very much. I recommend to anyone who begins the adventure with Maschine.

[@brokenorbitmusic9724]

Hands down one of the best Maschine tutorials 🏆 Simple and to the point. Much respect from Texas. Thanks 🙏

[@yodjjc1710]

This is by far the best tutorial on how to read ideas view and utilize it effectively!

[@griffinmusicinc]

I have watched many tutorials on this and this is by far the best understanding of the scenes, patterns, and append mode. Thank you!

[@jefgibbons]

You're welcome Curtis!

[@dennismcmurray436]

I've been getting dizzy for years from all of the tutorials I've tried to learn from and ended up just making my own way but it never felt fluid or productive. With this tutorial I feel like I finally get how to use the software in the most efficient way. Thank you so much for making such a clear and easy to learn tutorial, felt like I was in a Masterclass!

[@Sol-In-Seoul]

Maschine is extremely confusing; not at all intuitive.

[@averagedudeusa9722]

every time I watch your video I learn something new and feel more empowered to play! Thanks Jef!

[@jollygoodtime9197]

Probably the second channel I’ve ever subscribed to in 10+ years. You’re an absolute legend and a saint.

[@mechanicalbreaks8319]

Very good tutorial. No fluff. Moving at hyper speed is so important and this video helped me see the flow clearly

[@rbthaproducer]

I've watched hundreds of tutorials for Maschine and your tutorials are the easiest to understand. I have learned more in three of your videos than I have watching 10 other tutorials. Good job Jef

[@lyricalstorms]

Another great and helpful video. It's good to know I can count on you to deliver focused material without all of the extra jargon or crazy stuff..... clear and concise material with great screen views! Thank you. Please don't ever stop. I really need you. 😁

[@leoglen6662]

Thank you. That’s by far the most easy to understand and concise explanation of the pattern and scenes modes I’ve seen on KZbin. You have a great way of teaching your know how. You’ve totally changed the way I now work on this wonderful machine...sorry, Maschine. I’ll definitely check all your other Maschine tutorial videos and will be sure to subscribe.

[@leebrown143]

this is by far the best beginners video av found, its exactly what i needed to know to start building a track and explained better and clearer than the rest. its thorough and explained simply, whereas others ive watched fail to break it down like this and assume you have a basic knowlege. i have looked high and to find a tutorial which showed how the arrangment is done in maschine. so thanks for this.

[@toecalldronefootage.7408]

Love this Jeff. Well done! This tutorial is fantastic mate.

[@CheesyGhostOnToast]

Your videos are awesome! Just got my mk3 today and I have lots to learn. Thank you!!!!

[@thegraybeard]

Excellent. Very organized and streamline instruction. Thank You.

[@WeCreateMusicTV]

Thanks Jef. This was very informative!

[@philiplantay1980]

I love you Jeff Gibbons (metaphorically of course). This video has taught me more in 20 mins, than a 900 page manual could. Thanks heaps for making these easy and very effective learning tool. You have made my day!!! Thank you.

[@stephanmarkgraf825]

Hi Jeff, just wanted to thank you for this outstanding tutorial.I've just bought the Maschine Mikro, got it two days ago and thanks to your tutorial I've been able to actually create music and arrange it.Thank you so much and keep up the good work

[@jackpink6849]

I have scoured KZbin for concise instructions on arranging in Maschine and always came away slightly understanding but a little confused still. Your tutorial is the best and it finally just "clicked" for me. Thank you, kind sir.

[@angelmolines2040]

I've found these tutorials very useful I'm considering to buy the MK3, so I decided to do some research when I found these series They give a very clear idea of the capabilities and posibilites of the MK3 specially for the people who has no experience on the field. 1000 thanks Jef!

[@dh8950]

Outstanding, I couldn't get a handle on the new maschine user interface until I saw this video . You're a great teacher and composer THANK YOU

Fantastic Video! Thanks so much for your help...I'm getting better everytime I watch one of your videos!

[@jespinal]

Ive had a version of Maschine for YEARS now, and I never really understood, nor had the time to mess around with it. Now with lockdowns happening around the world, i finally have some time to dive into my MK3 and your tutorials are by far the absolute BEST on the internet. FAR better than native instruments and all the other videos I've seen before. Thank you so much!

[@sandrashermanjazz]

As a graduaded jazz guitarist, I have a horizontal (song view) arrangement way of thinking. Your tutorial finally helped me understand working with ideas (patterns) in a vertical dimension. Highly appreciated! I can now enjoy my Maschine+. Thank you ❤️

[@jefgibbons]

Great to hear! Yeah, it’s a weird way to work at first!

[@hjkhhjkh3635]

Your comment helped me understand his video 😂

[@darylw-m9549]

Thanks for the video Jef. I really appreciate the clear explanations and you sharing the way you create songs.

[@RandomMusingsUK]

Hi Jef. I've had a Maschine for over a year and just not been able to get my head around it. Stumbled upon your KZbin channel and your presentation has allowed me to experience that 'lightbulb moment' where suddenly it all becomes clear. Thanks for taking the time to help others, like myself, get a valuable insight into how to use Maschine.

[@brycepoole7697]

Super helpful, starting to get the hang on this Maschine thing thanks to your tutorials. Thank you!!

[@esmwakavi]

Excellent and timely tutorial! I'm new to Maschine and your labeling method and seeing the various patterns on/off state in their different Scenes also helped me to understand the organizational mindset of Maschine. Very useful!

[@JustKyle2]

This whole video was very easy to grasp thank you for that. The part that blew my mind was holding the zoom bar and dragging in and out to zoom. I've been working all the way zoomed out for months and it was killing me not being able to get in deeper. Thank you.

[@sunraged]

Genuinely thank you. As said before, the best tutorial I've seen on YT.

[@jefgibbons]

Much appreciated!!

[@Blomm11]

Very well summed up! Thank you for a great guide!

[@TheLordsDJ]

I've been in music production for 25 years, and I've always used the MPC products. I started with the MPC 60 and moved to an MPC 2000XL 20 years ago. My MPC 2000XL had problems with the Mother board, and I had planned to upgrade to the MPC One, but they didn't have any in stock for more than a month, so I decided to try the Maschine MK3. I have to say I'm truly enjoying it, and your tutorials have been very helpful, and especially this one on the groups, patterns, scenes and songs. I really like the MK3 so far. Thanks for the tutorials. You have saved me a ton of production time in gettng familar with this new production tool.

[@jamesharmer7686]

You made this so easy. I am afraid I am too lazy to read the manual when I start out and just want to play with my Maschine. You made the perfect video to show me the basics. Excellent stuff thank you!!!

[@Far-be]

Wow, really clear tutorial. Had a hard time grasping the concept just by reading the tutorial but this made it very clear, Thank you!

[@robhammond7118]

What up Jeff! I'm so glad you like teaching because you are very good at it. Thank you bro.

[@jefgibbons]

Thanks Rob! I really appreciate it!
