Sorry for the audio issues in this video. I spent hours trying to fix it and it just didn’t happen. Hopefully you are still able to learn something from this and remember once we hit 10,000 subs I’m giving away all those native instruments plugins from the thanksgiving contest. To help us get there faster, please share this video with people you think might benefit from this info. 🙏🏼
@@CourtneyHawkinsI'm new user of maschine soft+hardware. Sometime I feel it is full of bugs or I don't understand it I end up only using the pads to play and the mouse. I kind of skip the interest of having a faster workflow! for example the shift+PAD1...16 are not working, changing octave is always not easy. Maybe I need to do more combinaison of buttons. Also I find it hard to be creative with the performance options I don't have the full version of Maschine(only select) I don't the money for now so maybe that is why I don't enjoy myself so much :) One more thing, is how to LIVE LOOP, I manage to do it with my mic or external source but from my instruments or sound from maschine in the same time. Maybe easier to do it inside Ableton thanks good luck for your channel you seem to have something in mind after your 10K
Video and audio is fine on the laptop. Phone, no (iOS 12) but, doesn't matter. Most people should be watching music production videos on a proper computer, with headphones, anyway. :)
Wow such a great video. I recently got my mikro from a pawn store for a great price. I have looked at a bunch of videos and this video is the best one.
I've watched a few of your tutorials and other vids and they have helped me A LOT. I'm older and new to this game. I'm doing it for my own entertainment, but I literally switched out everything AKAI over to Native Instruments b/c of your videos. I'm still waiting on some hardware. You are phenomenal on your tutorials. Thank you so much for what you do!
Nice beat and Tutorial. I have a question Do you know if With the faders and knobs of the maschine, can I control parameters of another midi device that has keys?
Fell in love, liked and subscribed, because of this video. I've been on the fence about buying into the NI/Maschine system for years. I think I'm going to have to buy in.
Hello. First of all, nice video. I am also a beginner in Micro MK3. I have two questions if you would be so nice to help me figure out. First question is: Can I select a custom pattern length (size)? When I try to make a beat, the ending on the pattern is not always aligned properly, meaning that you can hear when beat (pattern) starts repeating. That means that I have to spend manually adjusting the beat so it has the continuous flow. Hope I described that correctly :) My second question is about the kits. You have an option to listen to the (demo) beat on the kits using the knob. It would be nice if I could load and EDIT the beats Meaning - to see how they are plotted in the pattern. Would help me a lot seeing how the beats are made. Hope my questions are valid and clear ... I wish you all the best!
Which is better to use for starting. Native instruments or akai, and is there software and beats expansion already downloaded?. I love your videos. I’m a music production beginner
The Mikro MK3 is a little beast of gear that I'm really liking. Thanks for the video. I wondered at first why the video was posted with the audio issue, then I learned later that it plays on the desktop but not mobile....weird! Anyway, looking forward to more intermediate/advanced Mikro MK3 stuff. Thanks again, Courtney!
Courtney, Do you have to use the machine mikro in the maschine software? I'm curious how this hardware works if you were to just use it as a midi controller in logic pro x. Does it still have all the same functionality (step sequencing, chords, etc) or does it always require you to be in the maschine software along with your daw of choice?
Thank you for the walk-thru. Question: As you used the note repeat intitally, why did you feel the need to use a metronome at all, as the high-hat on note repeat did exactly the same thing?
Hi, When i make a recording, playing after, i only here the full compilation. I want to record from zero that i here the song after from the start. How can I do this? Thx
Great tutorial. I'm planning to start with NU and now i'm kind of can't make a decision on Mikro MKIII or its bigger brother the Maschine MKIII, any recommendations?
I'm confused at 5:43. How do you get a bass without losing the chord sound? (Thanks Courtney this video is great! I did figure it out with making a new group, but just felt a bit lost for a moment)
Courtney, I noticed that you still use your Akai MPK mini. Thinking of getting one but read a few reviews of people having issues with keys breaking and such. Just wondering if you have had any issues with yours?
@@CourtneyHawkins Thank you for your reply Courtney! I'm trying to decide on my first midi controller and am leaning towards the akai mpk249 or potentially the arturia keylab mkii. Curious if you had any thoughts on either of these controllers. Also, I know I've seen you use the mpk249 in some of your previous videos. I was curious if you can use the 16 drum pads for instrument sequencing or not? Thank you again! Your videos have been super helpful and the tracks you come up with are fantastic!
What’s up! Im a Jr in high school and I’ve always listened to music very passionately and I’m beginning to feel the need to create my own music so over the past year and a half I’ve been watching FL Studio how to videos even though i don’t even own Fl Studios. So my question is, once i start producing beats, what would be possible monetary gain options besides posting what I make online and hope people view it? I don’t want to rap/sing or use my own vocals at all
Worry about making stuff people want to listen and chill to at first rather than that. Start out with the love of doing it. Its kind of the wrong way to think about it when you start out. In fact no, worry ,about making stuff *you* would happily chill to over some professional stuff, aiming to please others can be a real drain and counter productive to your progression.
Courtney Hotkins, that was a very very good tutorial. Honestly the best. Totally sub'd keep up the great work... Oh just one little teensy weensy idea that would make it a little easier for us to follow along would be decrease your monitor resolution while screen casting. It will look kinda lame on your likely super dope widescreen monitor but for us it will make everything in the Maschine app bigger and easier to read. Still despite that nit, I could totally follow along. Going to go check out what other videos you made. PPS; video length, cadence, delivery, shooting style: all on point. Usually I have to 2x speed videos to tolerate watching them. Thanks again.
How do i download a song and save it with my other loops? I don't want to sample off sounds.com i want to sample off youtube but i don't know how to even download the song to my laptop or maschine that i want to sample can i please have help? I got things i want to sample off already recorded songs. can someone please help me cuz my request is getting ignored ill even pay if i had to can i just please have some help
For some reason when I make another group my first group or first scene doesnt sound anymore. So I cant play along with my drum beat. Does anyone know why ?
Can someone please tell me how to use the pattern length for my beats to synch better it’s not allowing me be very specific with my length so it’s either to short or too long for my preference
I love watching your videos, learning so much through them. Especially the MPK Mini ones and Logic Pro. However i'm running into some issues, that i can't seem to find solutions for in the videos you have up. Maybe you can assist. I use Logic Pro X, and mostly EXS24 sampler and Ultrabeat, and use my MPK Mini as a midi controller. After trying to follow other videos PAD and Knob mapping tutorials, i feel like my MPK is all messed up now for how i want to use it. I could really use basic programming video, or re-programming vid, for the MPK, specifically to use with those parts of Logic Pro X. The MPK editor is so confusing to use with mapping the pads the way i want. I'd like the have the pad mapped to use with identical to first 8 spots in EXS24 and Ultrabeat too. lastly my other issue is that some of my keys don't have the same touch sensitivity as others...i'm not sure how i messed that up. HELP Please lol....anybody
This is a good tutorial. However, the problem I see with Maschine Mikro mk3 is that the workflow seems so un-intuitive. Which is a shame as beat making is all about being in the flow. Maschine is a production platform, it’s not for live use. I get that. But with my Komplete Kontrol keyboard I don‘t have this feeling of needing to memorize tons of cryptic key combinations in order to get things going. Of course, with the mk2 keyboard the two large screens help. NI should focus on streamlining the workflow of Maschine. Ah, and offering a standalone mode.
@@CourtneyHawkins i did get some pointers but we need more detailed video series with you making a beat ad explaining features as you go along can work i think for tutorials

Nice tutorial! I have just started using Maschine Mikro Mk3 for my live-looping performance.
Great videos very easy to follow!
Fabulous tutorial 🙏🙏🏿👍👏🎩🦄
Really cool vid - very clear & not rushed -love what you created - such a cool sound!
thank you!
Awesome
thank you
Thank you so much, you just earned a subscriber! So much provided in just one video.
Grate vid Courtney! I’d love to see a 2nd part of it i.e. “arrangement on the maschine software vs arrangement on a DAW like Logic”
george hdz I can definitely do a more advanced tutorial next
This would be quite interesting. LAying down a full track on Maschine is quite different than on any other DAW.
Dangg the sweater
Thank Courtney, do you prefer the mk3 or mikro?
Great video! And I love the sweatshirt!

@@matteobirsa I never heard more about the mikro. I wound up getting a Korg Padkontroller used and it's amazing. Highly recommended.
Just the way you add eighth note hats would have been worth a like! But this was soooo much more. bravo
Thank you for the walk-thru. Question: As you used the note repeat intitally, why did you feel the need to use a metronome at all, as the high-hat on note repeat did exactly the same thing?
Habit I don’t usually start out with the hi hat.
@@CourtneyHawkins Makes sense. I was just checking if there was some other reason that I might not know, so as to learn if there was. Thank you!
Hello Courtney, would you kindly make a video on how to properly route battery 4 to the Mikro MK3?
the spots in the sequencer aren't being populated when i tap the pads. do i need to change a setting somewhere?
