Danke! verrry helpful yes indeedee! ;)
sir ..can we create live loop with external input like boss rc 505 loop stations ???
Sure, Maschine MK3 has a looper! Check out our video tutorials to get an overview of the feature 👉 bit.ly/2XFP6Bj

You guys started out using my demo song in the tutorial. I really was not expecting to hear that. WOW, Amazing!
Very cool, I bet you're humbled and honored
@@klaytonvonkluge4905 I try to be
Congrats homie!
No permission you suppose to claim copyright infringement if you are the owner of the content,
Been waiting 5 years for an official tutorial video. Finally and thanks
Sorry we're a bit late to the party 😇
This was sorely needed, the official tutorials are always clear and consise. Glad there's an upto date one now that covers everything.
@@NativeInstruments ☝️that emoji looks like two chics are squatting down halfway while leaning on each others back with pants pulled down and squirting 🤷♂️
@@NativeInstruments ok one question.if we have for example an arturia minilab mk2 alongside with the maschine hardware.and activate the keyboard or chords mode.does the midi data goes into the maschine grid if we perform from the minilab/m32 etc?😁 edit: i own the mikro mk3 but also a minilab mk2 and i am curious if me or everyone actually can take the advantage of the scales and chords feature inside of the maschine.
I agree and Boris is an excellent teacher
can we create live loop like boss rc 505 loop station in mk3??
To have an actual tutorial without stupid jump cuts, weird sound effects, unnecessary crap music with a long ass intro, stupid faces being made. As soon as I click into those type of videos I click out of them so fast when I notice stupidity happening. Now this tutorial is professional, clear and right to the point. Thank God for people like you! ✌🏻
So true - I found the online manual daunting - this is amazing
What a pleasant surprise. Can’t wait for part 2. Nothing beats tutorials from the actual product makers.
I’m here to be schooled. I have a Maschine+ that has been sitting for a bit. I’m waiting to learn how to use this from A to Z!
Everyone: I like Native Instruments! But that whole maschine thing is very hard to understand! Native instruments (13 years later): let‘s make a tutorial where we actually explain how that thing works! - Genius
Please ! More OFFICIAL TUTORIALS !! Thanks a Lot !!
So long we haven't seen you. Great come back. Please more of this from him.
MASCHINE ! what took you SO LONG, Native Instruments?!? Great job, thanks to Boris and all of youz guyz
BORIS IS BACK ..!! THANK YOU FOR 🙏 THE TIPS ..!!
Finally an official tutorial
The real deal 🚀
Please keep 'em comin' like you used to back in a day
This was a long awaited official tutorial. I've been using MK3 for 4 years now and still learning some crazy new stuff thanks to this video. Much appreciated :)
We're glad to hear that Berkin!
Can this device be used as a keyboard? Let's say I take it with me to my night shift work . Can I compose music on it? Thanks.
Yes you can. Maschine MK3 works like a controller designed for music production; although it doesn't serve as a standalone keyboard, it can seamlessly integrate with your computer or laptop to facilitate music composition during your night shifts. @@Rustam3469
Great tut.
Excellent vid required viewing for all Maschine newbies this tutorial is the best yet.
This movie is a real gem. I have been using Maschine for some months, I have made through many tutorials, but have never found so comprehensive introduction. I have learned new things in every chapter - especially the things that need to press a button longer, press a shift - therefore are not visible at first glance. After the movie the Maschine seems not only the versatile tool (it already did), but also very easy-to-use. Such everyday tips making life easier are the things we all need. Thank you very much, you are doing excellent job. I am looking forward to seeing next part. P.S. Thank you for mentioning Jef Gibbons's videos - I am a huge fan, his masterclasses are also invaluable.
We're super glad it helped you get in the flow, thank you Piotrus for the amazing feedback 🙌
Is there a tutorial on how to load/import a track from a Daw, let's say Mpc beats or studio one INTO The Maschine as a track,scene or pattern so I can lay Guitar & other layers?
Boris ! my man ! Comfort fit for president !
This was long overdue. Thank you
Now that I likes! Can we please get a performance record mode please? Great tutorial by the way! The host was great!
Thank you so much! And note taken!
@@NativeInstruments Yeeeees, I would love to be able to connect it to my DAW and just record all that I am playing. Please Please, make it easy for us to create a full song.
That was probably the most thorough intro to Maschine I've seen yet on the basics of getting started. I'm pretty familiar with Maschine but every now and then I watch these to learn something new I've missed. I picked up a few things from this tutorial and I thank you bro.
Really helpful overview. Jef’s Maschine videos are a great shout out too! He takes a deep dive into a lot of Maschine features.
Providing this much clear and direct tutelage for free, is why I just picked up an MK3 (and upgraded Komplete after years away). Thank you, Native Instruments (and Boris!) for providing this series.
u are a dr sample and dr groove BOSS in one! ) thanks m8! now new times arrived with mk3 and machine jam!!! salute NI!
Thanks Boris.... 😘👍
congratulations I'm a maschine user since mk1 and if something has hurt me to see from then until now it's the amount of these instruments in the second-hand markets I had the opportunity to sell several maschine and to buy used and if something is clear to me it is many of those vendors was because they got lost in the use of this machine, many of them did not know how to use it, there are many videos here on this platform but few that teach well, many are rehashes of others. the important thing is that now it is done by YOUR, the creators!!! of such an incredible MUSICAL INSTRUMENT, DAW, SAMPLER, MPC, ETC. Thank you Native for such a wonderful video, we hope to see something like this from reaktor, Kontak, etc soon. I understand that selling course videos is lucrative and I think it's excellent, but you should still be the baton of them. Bless 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
Nice One thanks. Please continue the development for M1 native support for N.I. Software.
wow! at least we made it! the official masterclass. please more from this series, like how to build a track from start to finish only with Maschine!
Thanks for the feedback!
A full track with a vocal that goes across the whole song. and how you mix it down and transfer it to your preferred DAW
Super tutorial, thanks!
Ah! Just about to set this up and start using it. Thanks be to Gid for this video!!!!!
MORE BORIS TUTORIALS!!!!!!
BORIS!!!!!! This is amazing!
Been waiting years for this
I just did! Thank you 🙏🏻
Thanks so much for doing this, this is so great!!! Boris is an excellent Maschine guide, his pacing is superb, he anticipates the questions I'm thinking, and uses excellent, usable examples. Nice shout out to Jef Gibbons, too, his deep dives and his artistry are top notch!
Subscribed!!! Awesome video 👍🏼
Really love this masterclass, Boris explains very well !
I have maschine + and am so grateful for these videos. I was feeling discouraged like maybe it wasn’t for me and I should sell it, and maybe it was just an impossible pipe dream or just not my gift, I am a complete beginner and you really really break these things down so well, a very gifted teacher. This is like a treasure trove of information. So so beyond grateful with these videos I don’t feel so alone, and like maybe it’s possible to learn and do something of value eventually. Thank you thank you thank you. ❤ and you make it organized for learning and easy to follow I don’t have to decide what I think I need to learn because you laid it all out. Thank you thank you thank you😊
never think its not for you. there are so many tools to pull out the ideas. cheers to you
I’m also starting with a Maschine Plus (I sold a lot of stuff to get here) little by little I believe
Daisy why don't you make him dinner? Like really really.... really like....(",)
So, so good. There are lots of decent maschine tutorials, but nothing as clear and well paced as this.
THIS OFFICIAL VIDEO IS DEFINITELY NEEDED FOR MK3 OWNERS LIKE ME.
Hey and definitely me too!!! Ha Ha!!!!
This is much appreciated. Thank you.
I needed this, thanks Native Instruments for the clear and concise tips. Love how the Maschine is still supported so well. Can't wait for the next videos :)
Thank you Louis!
super useful video for me since i'm pretty new to Maschine! and love that Jef Gibbons got a shout out!!! his videos are always very informative and he has a great teaching style.
Seriously useful video for anyone with Maschine, this has sped up my work flow 10 times over and should help you out too. Thank you Boris and great video!!!!
Everyday I learn a new thing about this beast, Thanks for all
Everyday is a good day with Maschine 🧘
Holy crap I am so glad to find this on the official channel. Great stuff! I've been enjoying using my Maschine since I got it earlier this year, but was struggling to find a series of videos like this one that really breaks down the device and the hardware clearly. The manual is really great and I've generally been able to either find an answer to my questions in it or puzzle things out for myself, but video tutorials are a great way to learn. I even went as far as purchasing a third-party video course and found the instruction to be very difficult to follow even as someone who had been using the device for months already. Boris is such a great teacher. His instruction is super easy to follow. I'm only about ten minutes and I've already learned several new things.
This is the video I wanted ever since I unboxed my Maschine. Thank you for your efforts Boris, great work!
finally... this has been much needed for years.
This was fantastic. GEMS!
I actually thank you for this video. I have no idea why I am just now finding it when I should have found it years ago. It helps with the frustrating process of music creation on a new piece of gear.
Great tutorial i've been procrastinating using my Maschine but this tutorial came in at a great time. Ready to go deeper and learn this awesome hardware! Stay inspired and motivated everyone!
i wish this tutorial was here when i started out. would save me watching hundreds of yt videos that mostly talking about the same thing and often confuse the heck out of you
Awesome video, clear, concise, right to the point. THANKS!!!
I am about 6 months into using Machine . I love how easy it is to get started , but soo much to learn. If you guys read these messages , thanks for taking the time to make this Tutorial . I have watched all the other official videos and I am really happy to see more in depth teaching . -cheers
WOW, these videos were LONG overdue! But thanks so much!! they are amazing. I am falling in love again with my M+. You are a great instructor.
This has opened my eyes to many different things, I have had my Mk3 about 2 years, and while I can use it pretty good, there's still much to learn and tricks to use! Another good way to learn how versatile and powerful this Maschine is, go watch all the KZhead and other videos of people doin jams / performances with their Maschines .. it's amazing, I've seen them used with and as everything and every genre of music you can imagine !! Thank you Boris and Native Instruments
I've had Maschine Mk.2 for YEARS! and never really controlled the software from the hardware because I never took the time to figure it out. Just recently got the Mk.3 and this tutorial is insanely helpful!!!! Learning so much already!!!
Very good tutorial. Easy to understand, and very helpful information that i have not seen in other tutorials.
How I learned to love the Maschine. This video.
We're honored 💛 Thank you so much for the kind words!
I had the first MASCHINE and I loved it! I definitely want to get this one! 👍🏾
This is gold!! Thank you! ✌🏻
Just got mine yesterday! What a fantastic device and great tutorial..
Fantastic Tutorial thanks for sharing !!!
Great video, I took note of many tips throughout the video!
Fantastic!! This is just what I need!! More please!!
Part 2 coming soon!
Holy shit, 1 hour video and it's part 1?! Awesome job, thank you
And the good news is... More is in the making! 🥁
This has to be the best tutorial that I have ever seen on youtube. Thanks so much for this.
thank you so much
Doing maschine+ good to know all this translates well. Great presentation.. when the presenter taps in those high hats with the note repeat, I was hella vibing. 😌🙌
Professor Mezga: After previewing over 1000 KZhead videos that involve teaching MASCHINE - as far as I am concerned you are the top and very best teacher of them all. Some I really like because of their fantastic charisma - sense of humor - very well editited visuals that correspond to what they are teaching - but what you do makes me feel like I am wasting my time when I watch anyone else. Why? Your pace is neither slow or rushed. You do not get lost in exposition of any detail - ever. Your use of words, structure of ideas, and truthful, sincere, and incredibly unbiased presentation - makes others seem like they need psychotherapy. Your teaching gift is absolute sanity and rational clarity. Instead of me having to sift through or tolerate some biased charisma: "Hey man - like this the MISTER-KOOL-BOSSMAN telling you the dope man on the BLAH BLAH BLAH" or "Gods of metal here - and for you metal mortals - I will show you the ultimate secrets of the metal apocalyse - so if you don't use Maschine - I am going to straigten you out BLAH BLAH BLAH" - and understand some of this culturally biased characters are brilliant and talented - but they have such a narrow view - I get annoyed with them - even though I still appreciate them. You are the only one out of the entire crowd that seems to be dead center when it comes to knowledge and wisdom first and personal preference bias - last. Most of the top professor chairs at the greatest educational institutions on this planet could not frame ideas - (no matter how smart and educated they are) with the CLARITY and CONTINUITY OF PURPOSE as the great "Professor Boris Mezaga". So here is my slogan for you: "When I present teaching about any subject commonly understood - I am successful because of the general experience of my audience - but when I teach anything that is complex and beyond the reach of the average student I am successful because I am "Boris Mezga!" Well done! You are my favorite example of a great teacher.
Very well....NO....that was excellence within a well said and Completely True comment of the this well needed praise or "Professor Boris Mezaga"
Great tutorial(s) by Boris / NI - really helpful and needed!
THANK YOU, Mr. Boris !!! And Native Instruments!!
This is dope, great work Native Instruments
I’ve had this mas home for years and have been looking for in depth tutorials on how to use it ever since. Couldn’t find anything credible and it was very disappointing. Thank you for this video. This is exactly what I’ve been looking for!
Bro mad respect. Thanks for this masterclass! 🔥
Really great video, thanks! Off to check out the next one.
Great video! Love this 🙌🏻
I just can't stop loving this thing! It's fantastic and Boris makes great instructional videos. Great work!! :)
Thank you for the feedback Eirik!
Thank you, NI ! I am hoping upcoming parts of this series will cover using Maschine + / MK3 for live looping performance.
Thank you! 🙏🏾This was really helpful
Thanks ..I really needed this training
Better late than never!!!
This is just what needed! Thank you for this!
Keep bringing the MK3 love, NI. I'm late to the Mk3 party! 🥳 TY, this going to be SO helpful!
Finally some proper tutorial. Thanks NI and especially Boris 🖤
I’ve had the MK3 for 4 years and have struggled because I didn’t know some of the hidden detailed features until this tutorial. I’m glad the official company NI made this tutorial. Keep it up! Thanks again!
Thank you NI and Boris. Great video.
Super pédagogique. Learning a lot. Thanks
The best and the most educational tutorial on the internet. Loved! I own maschine mk3 for 4 years and im still learning. Ps;: I WANT THAT FLAME MASCHINE WALLPAPER. 😭 * Im glad that no one wanted buying my my maschine, otherwise I would be regretting now.
Thank you for this!
Now I am willing to spend more money on NI. I purchased Maschine last year but didn't really use it properly but now I finally learn what could I do with it.
Great to hear you look forward using Maschine at its fullest 🔥
Fantastic!! This was long due! Thanks so much…
THANK YOU!! KEEP PUSHING THE BAR
This man right here! Thank you so much!!!
I have never seen a full tutorial on how to work with vocals. Please add full session on that ☀️😃🎶✨
Thanks for the feedback 😃🎶
@@NativeInstruments No worries, love the tutorials you have done, it makes me really see the value of my M Plus. I do not have a good workflow for my vocals in the M plus yet.
Danke Boris! Mega Video!
thanks Boris . . . from ur guidance, pulled the trigger and got my M+ and happy
Благодарю за подробное и понятное обьяснение для начинающих! Хорошая работа! Все понятно ..все по делу! Теперь точно попрет музон!!!!!!!!!🤘
I've used Maschine since version 1 and I even learnt a couple of things. Nicely done! Please make an internal plugin like utility in Ableton, it's been overlooked for years and now we have a standalone version it's essential for Stereo/Mono Right/left use. Pretty please N.I!
+100 Seriously, NI! This is a HUGE killer for people sampling audio and want to only have one side to work with, for example.
Ура! Видео которого я ждал многие годы!) Thank's NI!
blew my mind thanks so much
