    Great stuff and here is why...music is all about math...how it relates to time and space...you do not have to be a genius...just a student of basic time. And the best part is it comes naturally. Without thinking we bop to the rhythm of the music time. He breaks down what we do naturally and helps us to translate it in a very practical way. Well done.

    Wow, I was almost background listening to this while you were going over the basics of the notes and quantizing, but I realized I never really thought about switching note resolutions to quantize and I'd been doing that *all* wrong. And the info about Swing was all new to me. I just thought of swing as like, a "groove meter", but when you switched it over to Triplets and they sounded the same my mind was BLOWN and it all made sense. Thanks for being a great teacher, Jef! This is the stuff I love about music theory, even though I know so little - getting to the science of WHY things sound good is fascinating and makes me wish I had studied music in college.

I have a question about the bars for recording in Maschine... how do you let it be free form to automatically follow however many bars I record....this is great for when I'm free styling and then I can edit and select the notes to fit in how I like.... there is a way to do this in other DAWs like logic or Garageband...

    • @justawesomeperson

    Hi! Can Machine be used without the hardware? I don't have much experience in creating rhythmical parts (having a classical education background...), but I think it would be good to be able to create them when I need them. Or is there other software that can do the same, using Cubase? Thanks!

    Hi Jef, as usual a very useful tutorial. Thanks. I've just bought a Maschine and tutorials like this are priceless. A little off topic, but my Maschine has the odd glitch and click when playing a song and the CPU gets even just a little busy. I'm using a Lenovo with an AMD A4-9125 processor with 4GB RAM and obviously something is coming up short. Question is, is it something I can fix by upping the RAM to 8 or 16 GB?

    • @jefgibbons
      @jefgibbons  5 лет назад

      Thanks! Yeah, I'd say for sure you need to go up in RAM! Whether that solves the problem or not, you'd be quite limited at 4 GB. Modern Operating systems would be hogging most of that already. Though it does sound to me more like a CPU problem. If you can find some cheap RAM, give that a go first!

    • @Ogma3bandcamp
      @Ogma3bandcamp 5 лет назад

      Hey Jef. Thanks so much for your reply. My gut feeling agrees with your every word, I need to try more RAM first but I wouldn't be surprised if it was a CPU issue. The computer is brand new and the processor is supposed to offer a higher operating frequency than the Intel Core i3. I will go down the RAM route and hope that solves my issue. Thanks again, Jef.
