Jeff, you're a legend lol. Lucky me when i finally decide to do some research on how to put together a Maschine live looping set up after all these years...on the very 1st first video i have the pleasure of learning from my all time favorite online music teacher.
Thank you for everything youve helped me with. There is a very good reason you were the first youtuber i sent a "tip"$ to. You definitely earned it many times over lol✌️
U got the grand piano in there and everything. Everything in 1 place. I got 2 grand piano’s and stuff all over the house to but not 1 room to put it in together like you. You also got a really cozy vibe in there man! Motivation for me!
Great video, very thorough explanations, thank you Jef!
Nice, learned something and was inspired ....
I like this kind of „cheating“ with the built-in scales and chords. Quite obviously you can come up with some melodies or solo runs, that you‘d never have dreamed of before. So it’s only another way of being creative and I really, really love it, since I saw it for the first time (here on your channel). And it’s also thinking / acting outside of the box. Appreciate this, big thumbs up 👍👍👍
Plus with the built in chords people forget that you can add notes to make them more unique. Similar to the way he combined chords.
Really nice
That’s give lots of ideas too
Wow! Wow! Fantastic! Thank you for sharing🕺
Thanks so so much Jef! This is super helpful, sharing your process in this way!! 🙏🙏 i am using this past year of Corona to familiarize myself (for the first time) with making electronic music in a live improvised setting; as a longtime singer and guitarist, this is all quite quite new for me, and your detailed explanations are not only insightful, but very motivating as well!
i, too, hope to get back to live performance soon, and introduce this form of live electronic improvisation - yet as you make very clear, this art form takes a whole lot of study, experimentation, and solid working knowledge of the functionality of your gear.... i've only ever gotten as far as guitar pedalboards myself, i don't even use a daw yet 🤷♂️ So i really appreciate your commentary on how much brain power this all takes when live in the moment, IT makes me feel met and heard in my studies, as there don't seem to be a lot of videos out there detailing exactly how to perform electronic music in this evolving live improvisational manner.... Perhaps there simply aren't a lot of folks actually doing this as a liveshow....? 🤔
Please keep your commentary coming, i (and others) are able to glean and learn so much from your kindness in sharing your live process! 🎶🎶🙏🙏
Thanks for the comments! I'll keep the videos coming for sure... Keep me updated on your progress as well!
cool setup - thanks for sharing
I will be using M+ this way at some point
Jef: “I want to get away from the computer”
Also Jef: “check out my 90” computer monitor”
😂
Thanks a lot! Very useful tips! :D
Loved this so much! That song was a lot of fun:D Just got a Maschine recently, so I've been binging Your stuff learning:)
That's so great to hear! I love doing this kind of content... CZcams just doesn't reward me with the views when I do, so I love hearing that someone got inspired by it!
Thank you ! I wonder : how to create great breaks and transition during the performance. And how to be able to quickly ajust the reverb, effects and levels for the sample recordings and how to control the live sound coming from the microphones . And also how to deal with different length of samples and patterns (2/4/8/16 Free). Let's go for live performance in the streets !! And yes the tip about "perform" button in Grid menu is a fantastic tip ! Christophe from France
Great Video...great steady camera work also 👍
what a great video ❤
Love this 😀 another great video mate 👍
Thanks Karl!
Hi Jef! Love all of your awesome videos! I've been digesting all these great lessons from you and I'd love to see a video from you about your signal processing. For example your soundcard to preamp on through your chain, how and why. What's in the blue box man!? Lol
I've been working on music for a while with a Scarlett I818 and I've been considering some higher end signal processing hardware for vocals/instruments. Currently I'm using NI MK3 with Studio One 5 (Faderport 8) and Izotope.
Great stuff !
Thanks!
Been thinking a lot about getting into live looping on Maschine a là Marc Rebillet, adding in vocals and bass guitar as I’m a bassist primarily . Encouraging to see some new content coming regarding the live looping functionality of Maschine!
Nice! Yeah, it just works so well, I was pleasantly surprised as I went through the process myself!
dopeness
Hey Jef! Nice find on the piano sound! Could you point me out to some of your favorite sampled piano sounds from Maschine expansions? Sampled instruments are my primary need for Maschine+ expansions, and I’m struggling to find proper demos of these. Thanks!
Thank you for your great tutorials... Do you know of any way to adjust the Loop Range start and end points using Maschine+? I know you can move an entire Loop Range that has already been set, but I want to change the start or end point of a loop range. Thx...
Damn nice studio bro
💯💯💪🏾 Great!!
Thanks for the video and sharing your experiences so honestly!
A couple of questions;
How important is it to have the Maschine Jam as well, in a live set up?
Could you do it without it?
Thoughts?
Cheers again!
Hi Jeff can you do a video on the new auto loop feature a machine MK3 Next 2 times stretch Thanks
very inspiring video! look forward to your show when the quarantine is over. How about a Tim Horton show ;)
Ha! Nice one ;) I'll keep you posted!
FWIW I got a chuckle out of the triple Jef horn section. Thanks for this video. Do you feel that Maschine+ gives you a different way of thinking than just Maschine on a computer with the window minimized? I’ll rephrase that if it doesn’t make sense.
Hey Jef I love your videos, I just upgraded to komplete 14 and I have all the instruments in Maschine but I lost all the pictures thumbnails. Was wondering if you had any advice. Thanks.
hello Jef. it is possible to monitor mic input and stereo input at the same time, not record just monitor both inputs + fxs?
Hello Jef, Great stuff!
One Question though, is there an option to loop in "Dubbing mode"?
Meaning: after i played the 1st loop, i DON'T have to wait again for it to play out, just start another loop immediately?
Thanks!
I got my Maschine+ in November of 2020 and it's a little more difficult than I thought it would be, do you offer a course or are you aware of a course one may take to better their skills? I feel like watching the videos and printing out the manual was enough, but it really isn't even after working with it a lot. I'm really comfortable with it's workflow, but I'm feeling like I'm lacking things.. I know I am.
Is the s88 mk2 mapped out for the Maschine+ with recent update?
The Sounds section in Maschine are always over looked some of them on the expansions and maschine stock library were done very well before Maschine could use vst’s in the software these were the only option I hope NI does a auto sample feature like Akai in the future.
Agree 100%! Yeah, it’s worth it to dig through the sounds. I hope future expansions exploit this!
Hi,
But is it possible to connect Maschine Jam to Maschine+ without a computer?
Thanks.
Alex.
How many expansions can it hold
Well explained. Thanks 👍🙏
Most welcome!
Jef you showed me another great way to use my Maschine + thank you so much :) . is that a baby grand ?
Thanks! Yeah, it’s actually a “petite baby grand”! Fits in the studio the best!
Thank you . I would have a very difficult time playing anything else 😃
Jef, thanks for this video... it's great, as usual. :) Can I make a request? I've watched MANY videos by creators on how to set up the Maschine for recording/looping, BUT none I've seen explain PERFORMING once you've recorded all parts of the song. For example, I simply cannot figure out how to set playback of a (for sake of your video example -- a 4 bar sound you've recorded) to "sync" so that it starts playing at the end of the 4 bars. By default, each sound switches as soon as you hit the pad. But, I don't want it to function that way... I want more of a Ableton style setup where I'm triggering playback of parts, synced to the start of the next pattern/bar. Does that make sense?
Thanks! As for what you want, it sounds like you’re using “sounds” when you should be using patterns. You could have a pattern ready with your song part, then turn the pad on and as long as your grid is set to scene, it should start over once the scene starts over. I’ll check later to confirm that I’ve worded this properly!
@@jefgibbons thanks for the reply! I'll give it a shot... maybe this is the info I've been missing. I dig the Maschine MK3, but MAN it's a tough nut to crack!
Hello, I enjoyed your walk through, thanks for sharing the process. Is the maschine jam connected to Maschine plus in stand alone mode or through the computer maschine 2 software? Thanks, RMS
Thanks! It’s connected right to the M+ with the beta of the next version of the M+ firmware.
@@jefgibbons thanks for sharing, That is super exciting I thought for sure the jam was a thing of the past with future support ever since they discontinued it last year. Cheers RMS
Is grouping available within the groups ?
Also is time stretching available in the sampler ?
Great stuff :-) Cheers ....
There's 8 banks of 8 groups, each group has 16 sounds. Yes it has time stretching
The performance was awesome! A question. Would you be able to do the same performance without a maschine jam? As you may know that has been discontinued :(
Thanks!! Yeah, the jam was barely used here, I’ve given up on it due to the lack of support going forward, but it’s a great device!!
how do you do that slow track at 16:11?
I'm stuck at about min 11:30 here - it doesn't seem to be clear how to get the recorded audio (I want to record a synth arp) to re-loop once it's recorded. The whole concept is to "live-loop" so how do we get the sampled audio to keep going? Something's missing in the technique that's outlined. I'm guessing that's it's related to the "having all the parts in first" bit. Meaning- you need the pad to have midi information "playing" the single pad where you have the looped-in part pre-playing from what I can tell. This is very different from a typical live-looper or Ableton-push-style looping setup. Sort of annoying, but it's a decent workaround. I don't see how you could have multiple takes/layers working this way though. (Again, unless I'm missing something). I made it work this way but it feels like there should be a simple "auto-play-on-record" command that does all this for you.
Can you use an external foot switch (TRS) or midi foot switch to toggle recording functions? I currently use the BOSS RC500 looper and I’m considering switching over to the MASCHINE+.
It's got a Pedal input, and I remember trying the foot switch with it for basic record functions. That's about it I think!
@@jefgibbons Thanks for your response Jeff. Was it a single or dual foot switch that you used?
I have a maschine mk3, but from what I've seen on you tube..... The boss Rc 505 seems to do it best. Especially as you can have line in and mic in at the same time
I’ll have to check it out!
Loop length 3, 5, 6, 7, ... isn't possible? That's very limiting! I m used to the RC-505 Loopstation, and because i use lots of VST Sounds i wanted to transition to Ableton-Live-Looping, but that wasnt very satisfying because Ableton only shows 1 active Looper-Plugin at a time, ruining the overview. Since i m unexperienced with Maschine (i d target the MK3 since i always use my laptop) and all my info is this video here, i still don't understand whether it could be a good RC-505 replacement on its own, or only together with the Maschine Jam.
how do you set up your follow grid to scene
?
Right at 8:18 you can see that I pressed shift-grid, and make sure to hit the "perform" button at the top, then choose scene from that option.
Do you think the maschine plus is better than the Aeros looper for live looping guitar
Good question..
hey Jef, Does Maschine Jam work with Maschine+ without a computer somewhere?
Yes it does! I haven’t tried it for a while… but there’s a bunch of vids on it out there!
Using Helix Rack for looping into Maschine ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Im buying the Pod Go soon.. how does it record into Maschine? I see it uses usb cable?
Just audio outs to maschine and you’re good!
@@jefgibbons not usb? Does it have stereo 1/4 outs?
I dont like this......I love this. If I could double subscribe to this channel I would. I need to check your channel to see if cover video editing with as much depth. clarity and humility as all things music. Stellar job sir!
Ha! Appreciate it!! I don't have much on video editing, and I think it might be time that I do! This might be the kick I needed... thanks!
What’s the advantage of using send effects over just adding effects to master?
Good question! If you do that, everything gets the same amount of reverb. If you use a send, you can decide to put more or less on every individual track. Think of a full band mix: now you can put more reverb on the brass to make them seem farther away, and less on the vocals to make them seem closer… just more creative control!
@@jefgibbons That makes a ton of sense, thank you!
You probably earn money with it. Maybe film music? In any case, it takes many years of practice and knowledge. I do everything by feeling and listening, but have been a hobby musician for decades. And that's enough for me. To invest in so much great hardware, you need your own company or a very well-paid job. Investing in music probably never stops. You can get poor with it. Nevertheless, I like to watch your videos, even though I only partially understand English. Great, keep it up, very personable .
Yo
Thanks Jef!!! like your tutorial much!!!
I have a problem with my m+
When I was recording using the sample loop fuction
The first loop always cut off a little the 1st beat/ audio, while the second loop
I saw a CZcamsr has this problem as well
czcams.com/video/CLsKpFg1Yqk/video.html
2:10-2:17s
Do have any ideas?
Appreciate for the help
thanks
moving on!!! way too much info I dont need.
TO be honest i regret going maschine! I got the mk3 and jam..now for more than 2 years..results i have reached to play live is really not good! due to the lack of information and tutorials to perform live with them...Abelton beats them so much!! I dont recommend it for live performers at all..its a good tool for music production in studio and thats it. even the daw needs a lot of work to reach Abelton..and its a well known piece of information around the musicians and producers scene!
