UPDATED COMPLETE WORKFLOW: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qYqTfmSXZ7CDmbc Use the transport buttons on the Maschine MK3 inside of Logic + Pads.

[@DaZeDmerlin]

Man, thank you so much for the video, but can you please tell me what option I should use instead of MIDI active, since that option is missing now.

[@DaZeDmerlin]

EDIT; Oh, I got it, it('s just Manual now, I just leave this here for other people to see.

[@inalect]

Hey Stefan! I tried using this trick but when i click on input it doesn't give me the option to check the midi to be active?

[@JTFuller]

If this is your first time to this channel, you will love this kid. He is very thorough and easy to follow and very informative.. I am so blessed to have found this channel.. I hope to see more from you Stefan. I knew nothing about Logic till this channel and I will post a song I recorded from 2 weeks watching this channel.. THANK YOU SO MUCH AND GO UK... I love the sound that comes from over there. Many blessings to you Stefan...

[@djcoolcliff]

JT Fuller Right on JT!!! What's crazy is you got my dad's full name!!!!!!!!!!!!! So right on with this young brother!! Very blessed!

[@TamahrBeats]

For your info Stefan: This comment stimulated me to subscribe. I agree with JT, you are very easy to follow =). Greetz from The Netherlands.

[@incatlus]

To fix the velocity to only play at one velocity: on logic, go to inspector tap, click the 'region' dropdown menu, click on 'dynamics', click on the 'fixed' option. *may need to click on the 'more' tap within the 'region' menu to see the 'dynamics' thing*

[@stefanguy]

Hey guys, some people have been having some issues with this implementation when it comes to actually recording. Make sure you put your Maschine in MIDI Mode (Shift+F1 on your actual Maschine). I thought it was due to an update but I've updated and this implementation still works perfectly fine. Logic Pro X 10.3.1 - Maschine 2.6.1. If you have any problems comment under this comment. Thanks again!

[@3STEEZ]

I was creating just fine for almost a year now with this work flow exactly. All of a sudden just a week pull up everything to record a drum pattern into Logic through MIDI...and no sounds at all. Best I could get was to fix to have the actual midi being recognized in the scene...but no sounds play as the curser goes by the notes. I take it off midi and I can hear the sounds per normal...but not sure how to trouble shoot this. Not being able to use it as midi for other VST's either. I was also using to to control Serato Sample in Logic...as a midi controller and now nothing...in Serato Sample it says to switch the octave...but with MIKRO there's no way to do that. I'm really stuck and haven't been able to create with this work flow for almost two weeks now

[@timmynawmanmusic]

Stefan!! Awesome video dude!! Can’t wait to try this later! 🙌🔥

[@lowlowseesee]

i read comments first to see if people like the advice and everyone loves this guy ahahahah awesome. time to learn then create

[@stefanguy]

🤣 I do the same thing, time is precious haha. I have a couple updated videos on this topic depending on your set up. If this doesn’t work for you, head to my channel and search maschine. It’ll bring up my other videos on using it in Logic. 🙏🏾

[@TheMetronomic]

2 years i was waitin for this. Thanks a lot !!

[@stefanguy]

No problem Julien!

[@tuckerxclips]

What do you mean by workflow?

[@dwaynemusik]

work flow means your individual way of working in your daw ...daw means digital audio work station in case you didn't know that either

[@derhans2619]

good to see another Julien

Haha awesome, glad I could help man!

[@stayboystereo]

Stefan - DUDE! This is the silver bullet. I too, have been looking for a way to not have to deal with two different arrangement environments when creating a track. This is so sweet. Thank you so very much. Great channel - keep it up. Cheers

[@stefanguy]

You're welcome brother! I hope they really do make it easier in the future though! Thanks for the kind words Stuart, all the best bro!

Probably the most comprehensive video to one of the biggest obstacles for me to finish tracks and/or integrate Maschine into Logic. Gonna try this method 🔑

[@stefanguy]

[@noahbaltrushes3032]

Awesome, thank you so much, the way I figured out how to use maschine in logic was so much more cumbersome, this is amazing!

[@philitupproductions]

I've been seaching a long time for this video!!! Thank You!

[@RaghunathRajaram]

Hey thanks for this video! To fix the velocity issue just open NI control editor and in the templates section set the 'Pad Velocity Curve' setting to something softer. I like Soft 2 or 3. They work well for my style of playing. You can also go into individual pads and increase the min velocity to something higher than 0.

[@stefanguy]

+Raghunath Rajaram thanks man!

[@RaghunathRajaram]

Hey no problem!

[@tylerlombardmusic]

Newb question, but where is the NI Control Editor located?

Thanks bro!!!

[@CultureMilk]

Hey mate, just wanted to say that I finally stumbled on your video while looking how to solve this issue in logic. I would have to say this is the best one so far. Fast, informative, straight to the point and easy to follow. I use Logic Pro 9 with Maschine Mikro, so I hope this still works, but you've also convinced me to start messing around in X. Best!

[@stefanguy]

Hey Jelani thanks for the great feedback man! Let me know how it goes!

Hey bro! Thanks man, let me know how it goes when you try it out! I've heard a few people are having trouble with this workflow since the latest update. I haven't tried it out yet myself as I'm taking a break. But if you get the chance to do so let me know how it goes. Thanks again bro.

[@commentscorner617]

how do you play the drum kit as one in logic instead of playing everything (kick, snare etc) separate

Thanks for the info bro it's much a appreciated, I've had a nightmare with youtube this last weekend! Thanks for letter my know about Trap Attack II too!

[@chiefedit]

Thanks for the hard work you put into this video! This works with beats but is there any way to use the Maschine in Keyboard mode with logic? Let's say I wanted to lay down a bass line.... Will Maschine transfer that one sound across the keyboard in logic?

[@HommyMuzik]

Stefan Guy Hi, do you have a video on how to create our own drum and snare samples in logic using esx24?

[@kazumafujigen]

First of all, thank you so much for your explanation. However, I could not record those sounds even if I could press the "Record" button on Logic Pro X software. I could hear those sounds and see all mix/volume values on Logic Pro X. Now I use Maschine MK3 Ver.2.7.6. Please let me know how I can record the sounds. Besides I can't see the same words "MIDI" and "Channel" on Machine's "Group"- > "Input" page as 2:18. (My Maschine mentioned just "Key Mode(Off, Drumkit, Manual)" and ROUTINGS)). I cannot figure out how to fix the issue..

[@cthulholmhastur5317]

Stefan - just had to drop some gratitude. I've been f**kn around with Ableton, since I picked up my Maschine Studio, for the last month or so... I'm sure there is a way to do what you have done in this video with Ableton, but to be blunt fuck that. Logic may not be quite as "friendly" or whatever, but in Logic it seems there is always a clear cut path to get the exact result you are seeking. Also, I know that sonically there is not much difference between daws, but Logic always gives me.. really clean, imaged mixes. Anyway thanks a lot for the vid, you solved for me a monthlong quest in 15 minutes. peace - r.

[@stefanguy]

+Rick Duffy hey Rick you're welcome brother! And I totally feel you man, I'm trying to spend a bit more time with different DAWs so when I jump on Ableton I'll give it a try. If I succeed i'll do a tutorial!

[@trevorbrooksphotos]

great tutorial , just got maschine studio and its not easy to get good information , top man!!

[@stefanguy]

+Trevor Hamlett thanks Trevor! I'd love to upgrade to the studio someday. I just don't have the space for it yet!

[@phobicrobtic]

Hi Stefan great vid. Hey I have my channels set and each sound is coming from individual tracks but I can't record into logic. Whats going on with it. I am using maschine 2.6.8 with Logix X 10.2.3

[@dlopour88]

i would suggest looking at maschine as a loop factory, rather than a controller for a daw. instead of channeling all of maschine tracks to logic's or any daws, just make the loops in maschine and stem them out. you will save yourself a huge headache.

[@entyce66]

dave lopour as in looped audio tracks?

[@sebbef]

dave lopour I get a feeling that it degrades the quality a little, in a nitpicky kind of way

[@CEBrown1]

yeah i agree and I've tried that method before and to me it just seems more time consuming than just recording straight to logic

[@NickQuinn1986]

No midi though. All audio

[@HyperProduction]

Nice video dude! Really well explained and concise!

[@stefanguy]

Thanks man!

do u know how to use it on studio one I'm having trouble with it

[@rocreatorsprotege2397]

On my maschine software, where you have toggled on the “active” switch in the group input, I seem to not have that option. How can I get that midi active switch? Cheers

[@mattealysr6517]

I have this same issue. Switched to drum kit but still don't see the option..

[@KylerHallThompson]

@@mattealysr6517 Same here dang

[@ant4dna]

So this method looks like it’s left you playing in a pad at a time into logic. How can you jam on the pads as usual and have a stack of midi channels record at the same time Into logic?

[@machineboyCom]

I think you can have fixed velocity on the pads by creating a midi template for Maschine with Native Instruments' Controller Editor.

[@stefanguy]

Ah ok thanks bro that would make sense. I'll check it out!!

Can you use the note repeat with the settings like this?

[@stefanguy]

You can't isolate the note repeat to on note unfortunately. Believe me I've tried lol.

[@Meekismwisdom]

I have too lol thanks though

[@markmendozamusic]

Hey Stefan, I've been searching for so many Maschine tutorials as I have purchased the same product as you. I feel like its a huge beast and can be a little overwhelming. I was wondering if you could do more tutorials on Maschine as I pretty much go to you as a "one-stop shop" for Logic Pro X help. Cheers

Hey David, yeah I have Sierra Grove and a couple other expansions and they work fine using this same method. Are you referring to the expansions by Native Instruments or another third-party? And thanks mate I appreciate it!

No problem bro, thanks for dropping a comment!

[@smalltownhermes]

great stuff. is it possible to use your lbm trap kit inside maschine?

[@stefanguy]

Hey...oooo good question! Partially. The samples would load and play inside maschine as they do in the exs24. But we would still need the Logic MIDI FX and smart controls for it to function the same. I hope that makes sense.

[@LJOS21]

Just what I need bro!!! thanks a lot. Could you make another video on how to get an octave up and down and note repeat and that kind of stuff!!! I just got a new Machine Mikro and its difficult to used for me. Cheers.

[@mekheiali346]

Stefan Guy, I found a way to level out the velocity with Maschine in logic x midi mode DOUBLE CLICK MIDI TRACK FIRST TO BRING UP MIDI AT BOTTOM OF PAGE, THEN( MAC SHORTCUT, CMD+A ), (UNDER FUNCTIONS TAB), ( SELECT MIDI TRANSFORM) (FIXED VELOCITY) in the BLUE BOX , you choose at what velocity level you want, then click (SELECT AND OPERATE) I wrote it in detail for those who don't know their way around logic x as swiftly as others, NOT you Stefan, Im sure you already Know.

[@jatnng2]

HI Stefan thanks for the tutorial. But i wonder if it is only able to record the kick snare hi hat and whatnot session by session. What if i want to record it when i play it all at the same time?

[@stefanguy]

Hey, you can most definitely play them simultaneously as I do. You can play them all on the same track. As long as they have their own outputs in the mixer you can then export them as stems with their own individual files. I hope this makes sense. Let me know.

[@FreshRichi]

[@dmitrykarikh2265]

Thank you, brother! Nice tips and hints. Sweet. Peace!

[@HAFLifeEntertainment]

great video! thanks for the help. one question tho, how can i make Logic record patterns already created in Maschine prior? for instance, i made the beat first on Maschine, then routed all the sounds into individual channels on Logic Pro.. is it possible to record like this?

[@stefanguy]

Hey man thanks! and yeah it is possible, I don't have a video on this but it's similar. Most of the videos on KZbin will detail this technique as oppose to the one I have here.

[@HAFLifeEntertainment]

+Stefan Guy and it is possible as midi right? I saw one video that showed how to do it as an audio file, but I want to be able to still manipulate and edit the notes. So recording it as audio wouldn't work.

[@HAFLifeEntertainment]

+Stefan Guy nevermind! I found a video that explains a solution to my issue

[@stefanguy]

Yeah you can do it as MIDI bro!

[@angel_v_]

Nice tutorial man! thanks for this. I've followed this step by step, everything seem okay but...when i launch record, the first track only is recorded (with all the kits in the same track) . Is there any step that i've missed?

[@stefanguy]

Hey brother. Not at all, it's a limitation with Logic. If you want each drum element on its own track you'll have to record them separately. The most important thing is that they have their own channels in the mixer. With this you can use one track in the arrange window but still mix them separately. You'll also still be able to export out every drum channel to its own audio file for stems. Even if they share the same track.

[@viewch5094]

[@stefanguy]

+Dimitri van Eetvelde you're welcome brother!

[@kpax9852]

do you do a video where you can trigger individual or group of midi regions to a single or multiple maschine touch pads. For example one pad triggers kick snare hats, other pad triggers kick snare hats and say an arpeggiated synth pattern. So that your essentially triggering parts of a song with each midi pad.
