  • can you use this in fl studio?

  • hey man really great sampleing ive always to sample a track and got down to even making a sampled track. but it doesnt sound great. so do you got any tips to give to a rookie?

  • sick sampling and a funny finish ;D

  • is this also an effects machine like the KP3? can you modify your vocals or samples

  • hahahaha had me rollin' at the end haah

  • that was fucking awesome bro, cheers. unreal sample too. You see so much garbage on youtube where guys think that there beats are banging, when in reality they sound worse than a dying cat. Nice to see some quality beat production. I need that Maschine too, shitt.

  • this beat knocks ! great tutorial do u think i could use the beat for a mixtape? i wont make any money off it i just really like this beat

  • @KnockSquared hey where did u get the sample of the singin guy

  • Good tip on stopping the samples over play each other.....beat was tight and the "finale" at the end was hilarious! Question...how do you select the bar or measure length for each scene? Getting my maschine this weekend....HELL YEAH!

  • @therealmelmac not sure what you mean by select the bar. You can use the transport left rigt arrows to scroll through your sequence (if thats what youmeant)

  • Nice vid bro... Very helpful.. just curious how you set up to make this video? I've been wanting to try making a vid but not sure how to set it up. Thanks.

  • yo man i have a question.. im about to get a maschine but i dunno if there is a big difference between a maschine and a maschine mikro - what do u think ? im a home producer, hiphop. Thank u ! p.s. Nice Sampling !!!

  • @dulebmw Maschine. Mikro is cool... but mikro takes a few more steps to do the same thing in Maschine

  • @KnockSquared Ok, I have a question. I was just asked what I wanted for Christmas, and I wanted some piece of equipment to help me make beats. Right now I have nothing. Just my computer. But anyway, I've heard a lot about the Maschine, but I want to know if there is something else that I should invest in first. Basically, what I am asking, is what are the NECESSITIES for getting started on producing. I've been making beats seriously for 6-8 months and I am on FL Studio 9. Please let me know!

  • @BALbeatz Whats up man. You got what you need now. FL Studio is Crazy. Regardless of what ANYBODY may say about it, its one of the best programs out for creating music. I got pretty much every daw and I be on FL studio 10 Hard. Not ashamed to say it. Of course Maschine is my Weapon ! If I were you I would consider getting Maschine only if you are ready to learn it. Its not terribly complicated, but there is a learning curve. And you probably wont move as fast as you do on FL.

  • @KnockSquared About the DAW, I was wondering what are your thoughts on komplete (if you have that), also if i got a midi keyboard would I be able to use it with just the maschine software or would I have to use another DAW for that

  • @sikwitit123456 I love Komplete. I Have Komplete 8 . You dont need a Daw to use Komplete..you can open it in Maschine. Most of the Programs in Komplete run stand alone also.

  • @KnockSquared Ok thanks, but I didnt know whether or not I should get a good keyboard first. And is the setup easy for the maschine on FL?

  • @KnockSquared yeeep, I got mikro and i realized that if you take like 1 second in maschine to I don't know to change a parameter like a FX in mikro you take like 3 seconds...which is not bad...so the few more steps are more like few few! great skills knock squared

  • AFE MARIA HAHAHAHAHA MANDA MUITOOO

    I LIKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

  • jajajajajajjajajajajaj the end is perfect! jajajaja

  • Hey there awesome tunes man!

    Where do you find your sound/samples?

    What program etc?

    I just bought the Maschine and tryin to learn it..

    Take Care

  • What's funny about MPC's is that when they came out............people said wtf is this........making music with a computer (box)..................now ppl criticize the computer.....hahahaha funny shit....................still millions on songs sold...........a synth is a computer......................­.a least that's what those circuit boards say to me...................DEDICATED COMPUTER SYSTEM, limited but dedicated.......along with Motif, and Roland system..maschine is just a smart tool!!!!!!!

  • call yourself rass kass... you sound just like him boooooi

  • Great tutorial! Usefull for me...

  • man you are so fucking great ... damn ...

    i got a job ... now i get money for buy maschine...

    tell me... can connected one midi keyboard on maschine?... or need to conect on pc ?

  • Comment removed

  • What is that sampel ?

  • hey bro sweet vid, plz answer my question, mpc 500 or maschine? and can you use the maschine with pro tools?

  • @DrQB0Y Maschine over the MPC 500 all day. And you can load Maschine into Pro-tools

  • @KnockSquared thankx man :) but my bro (supa padd) he produced a soulja boy track a while ago, always has used mpc like 1000 2000 all that, so ima experiment cuz im just geting into the game. thx for the comment response!

  • @DrQB0Y

    hmmmm...... can I answer this? i had mpc 500 & 1000 for two studios, but sold that while i could  and bought maschine........... your workflow with protools will be FANTASTIC.........Just drag and drop midi / audio from maschine directly into separate tracks on protools, logic, or cubase.

    Giggn

  • man i love your vids jsut found you your so inspiring :) anyways which do you prefer mashine or a mpc or a mv im trying to make my discussion keep in mind im new to sample producing, thanks mike

  • This answered the last comment i made on the 7 minute workout.

  • Man, this is a DOPE song, no kiddin' !

    MUCH MUCH love from Belgium.

    I'm looking out to buy a maschine, but wonna be as good as you, NEVER!

  • I really don't have the money for one of these. I mean, I do, but it would be better spent on non "toy" things, or saved. Should I buy one? I'm not a very good producer and I really just do it for fun.

  • how can you sample if you dont have a turn table i got the mv and i like the fact you can just throw a cd in and sample i turnd around and brought the maschine got everything set up and havent touched it since collecting dust i use my reason 5 and mv800 more than anything but folks keep telling me the maschine is the move any suggestion on the sampling

  • Nice job Knock. I've had my maschine for a little over a month and I'm learning it pretty fast. Faster than the MPC.

  • how much is that thing ??

    

  • @Pena1123 $499

    

  • Great stuff man, just bought one of these and your vid is very instructive. Love the tune, keep it up you're a frood.

  • shit man this is good. i have a maschine and im looking to get the mbox and pro tools 9. can u giv me some tips on how to make pro sounding songs and stuff? im on it like all day and i got the dedication but idk how to make it sound legit and stuff. im just a begginer

  • ''the beat was so hard the fuckin' computer fell over!!'' XD

  • Hey how'd u get them samples/

  • @SVRReelMaker  off a record. Sampled from turntable

  • Hi, i wanna to know how you change your pads to oneshots cuz when i press a pad the beats continues

  • @skipmous look where it says "one shot" and turn that knob to "ADSR"

  • @KnockSquared thanks man, good job

    

  • good shit

  • the beat is nice bro keep up the good work

  • You m ake it look so easy ffs! The end bit was funny but as you said, nice way to end lol. Keep making your videos!

  • @MrBobbyDolow only looks easy cause I am on it all the time. Anybody that stays on maschine will get this fast. There are dudes faster than me..lol

  • @KnockSquared you also have to get familiar with it to learn how to do shit fast right?

  • Need to flex that "While you stand outside" sample faster, rest sounds cool doe.

  • @RusslaDJ thanks for that feed bro. I appreciate that.

  • @KnockSquared I have mass respect a person who can both make awesome tracks and take peoples feedback positively even if it's criticism. just sayin

  • 5:20

  • This is some Fire bro!! I swear, if it wasn't for you and these videos you post, I probably would have sold maschine!!! When I first got it, only videos were you and some cheesy other ones that didnt tell me shi***...now seem like you have a video for everything I was tryin to figure out!!! Mad Props, keep the videos comin bro!!!

  • gd shit man keep it up

  • what songs did you sample here?

  • Bloody AWESOME MATE,,,Seems you got it down REAL SWEET....!!!!!

  • I might purchase this to play around with in my free time. Would you say it's relatively easy to use/learn and switch up the samples in accordance with the buttons?

  • Konk just wondering what do you use to sequence if you wanted to live record stops and pauses? just wonder what would be the best daw or the best method. thanks

  • how did you hook up the turnable with the maschine

  • that was ill

  • hahahah that ish was fire! Lovin the "Oh Fuck" moment. classic.

  • @licterhymen LOL..thanks man and it scared the %$#% out of me.

  • what's that cowbell-type percussion you have in the high-mids?

  • Hahaha funny ending ;) Dude, you´re dope! I don´t have the maschine BUT wacthing this vid and you handling it, makes me want it bad, thanx.....

  • HEY knock! is there anyway that you can load a sample by its tunes into all the 16 pads without manually setting all of them?

    i end up setting each pad into a sample source and then adjusting the pitch for each one... is there any other way to do this?

  • HEY knock! is there anyway that you can load a sample by tunes into all the 16 pads without manually setting all of them?

  • a hommie can u school me on how to take a beat and put it into and mp3 format, cuz i have website but cant upload them and till then....Ooo!! and how do i sample something for a cd that i like?

  • hey I was wondering how to connect your maschine to your soundcard. I just recently bought mines, but the maschine doesnt seem to pick up whtever im trying to sample. and yes i have a soundcard and an audio interface. Thanksss

  • LOL - good job...funny ending :)

  • That was dope funny at the end !!lol

  • what would you say the benefits of maschine were?, i dont understand why people pay so much money for this when you could just buy any midi pad controller and hook it up to kontakt or battery ?

  • My Maschine is on the way, and your videos are hella dope inspiration.

  • Peace Knock...i really enjoy the jam you did on the MASCHINE...so impressed , I think I have to find me one of those. Even thou the samples you used was so FIRE and your own....I can only imagine that I can get so good vibes like you did by finding my own. Good Blessings to you..and may you continue doing great work. THANX ALOT !

  • My first exposure to your videos, they're great man. I really like how you explain everything, it helps. Keep on making amazing videos.

  • Does the Maschine n Traktor s4 / X1 Work for Windows 7 64-bit Please let me know!

  • Beat had my head nodding so hard toward the end I was like what the fuck when that shit fell over definitely ILLTrackery love it!!!

  • Hey man good stuff, just wondering are all the sounds your using the ones that came with the maschine?

  • do u need a computer to use this ?

  • @DJBelowz no you do not, it is stand alone, has in and out midi ports on the back

  • Nothing spectacular my ass, shits dope son, on the wall about copin one of those thanks for getting me off. Much respect dude keep em comin

  • INSANE!

  • Yo knock! great samling and putting together skillz! you defently stand out from the usual YT Squad. -thx for inspiring and teachin the world to do MUSIC ! right on. 1

  • Maschine is it better than the mpc 1000 or what? what do u think is better

  • I've been watching your videos for months and you've pretty much sold me on Maschine.  I got a second hand one on the way to me now. Your beats are sick, your videos are entertaining, and you have a great attitude keep it going.

  • Nice Beat + funny ending = Me to subscribe

  • lol the ending is so funny :D

  • Nice vid man, now I want a maschine.. THANKS ALOT! ;

  • hey that is dope

  • Whats up! I was just wondering if it's possible to change the settings to where the volume of the pads is not pressure-sensitive? I would really appreciate if you could help me with this!

  • @LilFireworkz yep. all you have to do is set it to full level. Easy to do .

  • @KnockSquared mad respect, u should post that beat so i can spit to it n shoutout to knock squared all day

  • @KnockSquared yeah just change the velocity setting

  • @KnockSquared great work man, like the vid..maybe i'm just unexperienced and i liked it because of this but i think you're good, experienced or not experienced. was the main line a preregistered piece? i'd like t buy maschine but i'm afraid it would be difficult to put on it the music i like and i don't know how vast is the NI collection of sounds in the software and where i can find packets of sounds for it.

  • @LilFireworkz This is definitely an option in the software. I did this a while back when I still had a computer for Maschine. I can't remember the sequence but you can basically turn off the pressure response.

  • @LilFireworkz If you haven't figured it out yet you can hold the "pad mode" button and select the velocity tab. From there you can do 16 velocity or fixed velocity then set the desired velocity

  • @LuigiBoVerFinal

    press the "first button" after pressing pad mode to "hold" ............. you folks gotta read the manual ......pffft

  • nice beat with or without the cow bells.

  • just got maschine i love just having a problem when i make a beat using the stock drums for some reason each drum cancels out the ohter when i play at them same time if you can help i'll appreciate it

  • @ShellRoxx check my vid that says "explicit sample" go to the part after i play the beat and it explains your pad situation and how to get it working.

  • yo word up you can do all that on the MPC's but anyway the only problem I have with Maschine is the Processor dam it has to be PC based so they is no way that can compare to the MPC's I dont care what no one says. Ok you can Plug this and plug in that to enhance it but have you ever MPC real sounds from akai with software plug ins added OMG sun. Yo im not knocking maschine im thinking about coping me one to try it but fat trak said it had problems does it crash? heard you cant pitch bend either

  • @DigitalMuzick LOL.....bro EVERY one of those things you said maschine DOES do..LMAO. No diss to Fat Trak...but he obviously aint messed with maschine for a length of time. 1. 6update brings VST?au plug-ins. I owned MPC 2000 3000 and also MV 8000 ... Maschine is just as good if not better. Plus who says you have to look at the computer screen??? I dont even look atthe screen.. And also when i click save... its instant..LOL. Go try one out man... dont let people who obviously dont know tell you

  • @KnockSquared Thats whats up So it does have pitch bend , so the note varation slides and all that just works differant , I guess its just hard to picture lol with out a slide control lol

  • @DigitalMuzick oooohhh wait a minute. I meant when you use a midi controller with it. Pitchbend on the midi controller and it works on Maschine. as far as with the unit alone...I havent tried that..lol

  • Beat goes hard brah. Nice.

  • Great !!

  • Hey man. Thanks for the videos.  Got the maschine and was a little overwhelmed. Getting the hang of it thanks to your videos.

  • im wondering if this shit is simple like could i do it without any knowledge of the hardware and how to get samples from other songs thanks

  • This is spectacular, good job knock!

  • the color of your nails are tripping me out dood

  • your the color of your nail are tripping me out bro

  • Hahaha Funny ending and thanks for the tips.

I do my drums live in one take....and it seems when I try to play 4 sounds at the same time it cuts the 4th drum note one out.. I know it's probably something real something I'm missing too..Keep Doing Your thing...im subscribed!

  • Hey man. I always check out your vids to give me ideas and help me think of stuff i usually wouldn't do. I got a question for you and the answer may be really simple. If i hear something on youtube or anywhere on the internet, how do i record it as a sample into my maschine library? Thanks man

    What do you think?

    Check my tunes :D

    Peace.

  • Wow dude thats totally awesome !

  • knock thanks for getting back...so you do use reason..my question is can you flip a sample in mashine and rock it with the reason instruments.. i wanna be able to

    flip the sample and bring it into reason record and layer the sample with reason sounds..can this be done ?

  • knock whas good homie...good stuff..just wanted to know have you ever use the mashine with reason.. im really diggin the mashine,,think im gonna pick one

    up..i use reason , so if you can tell me something i would appreciate it..peace

  • @meandminespro7 I have reason also. I have used both together on my MAC (I havent tried it on my windows computer). Maschine has a virtual midi on the MAC side and you have both Maschine and Reason open and have reason be controlled (midi) by maschine. Its not to hard to set up. Only problem you may have is if your audio interface is not "multi-client" which means it allows you to have more than one program open.
