    Having an automation clip/ track that moves across multiple clips is super powerful - first , to avoid repetitive automation and second, its especially great for ambient drones and pads (created from shorter clips with reverb and sustain) to create subtle changes and movement across the entire song. Another good TIP: When in a clip view using hardware, you can switch beteeen events and keyboard mode without loosing the view you're in by pressing shift/keyboard or shift/events etc.

    You really just made me fall back in love with my MK3. I was getting so frustrated with arranging in Maschine and ended up getting Ableton but couldn't let go of the hands on work flow Maschine has. I also really like native instruments sounds and have Komplete 13 so i really want to get the most out of these sounds and browsing through them on Ableton is just not it compared to the mk3. What blew my mind here was using clips for automation! YESSSS!!!!!!! Thank you. Subscribed!

    Great video and overview! I will definitely get into clips a LOT more because of this.
    One thing about the choke groups: for the 808, I've always found it easier to set it to ADSR mode and drag the notes out. This provides extra control over the release, ensuring there are no clicks when the sound is cut off.

    I took on way too much by getting Maschine Mk3 and then getting super excited about Ableton. The learning curve was already too great for my old brain and then I decided to buy the Maschine Plus with only a scant knowledge of either system and very little experience. As a result I have only ever scratched the surface of what either can do.
    Clips looked like a whole new world and very complex so I left it alone. Now I am more confident with the hardware, I am ready to tackle clips and you make it sound essential.

    Great videos @Music Memor - subscribed and looking forwards to future content - never really gotten to grip with clips mode but gonna go and give these 16 tips a try right now. As frustrating as it has been at times to be a Maschine user all these years I sincerely believe it is inches away from greatness. Hoping the promised software update sometime in 2024 finally gives me the ability to record and capture jammed pattern, mute and lock mode swapping easily within Maschine. On a separate note - you seem like a dude who might know - is there a way to record the automation from the ribbon controller when you have it set to 'Mod' mode? Been making a track today and in one sound slot I have Playbox providing the lead sound - the Mod wheel is opens and closes the filter. I put Maschine in AUTO mode and tried to capture the information from the ribbon controller in the same way as if I was recording automation on the 8 rotary encoders and nothing happens!

    Can someone help me? I used Machine back in 2016; My workflow was 100% with the controller, no mouse, no keyboard, no looking at the PC. What I would do was add drums, then create 4 or 5 patterns, then I'd add Pattern 1 to scene 1 and pattern 2 to scene 2. Next I'd add a bass group, create 5 patterns, then add pattern 1 to scene 1, and pattern 2 to scene 2, etc.. and build my song like that. Then I'd go into scene mode and select scenes 1-6 aka the whole song, and I'd be done. Then several years go by, and NI adds an update that breaks my whole process. Now I can't seem to work with it at all / nothing works like I learned it initially.. What am I doing wrong? Is it somehow defaulting the the new mode or clips or ideas mode automatically? Is there a way to get it to work like it used to, or will I have to unlearn and re-learn the whole system? I don't want to use the PC, but want to play the Maschine like an instrument, no ducking around with a mouse or keyboard. (I wish I could just select in preferences "use the old school Maschine interface" , and be done with it. Is there a video "how to go from Maschine old school to new school". Please help or point me in the right direction. I can appreciate "clips mode", because I used to have to dedicate a pattern to play tails, so that could be cool to use clips instead, but again, 100% controller and no mouse KB futzing allowed...

    Is clips something that is relatively new for maschine? I'm asking because in 2020 i bought a Maschine mk3 and was able to understand the general work flow of it and really enjoyed except for one MAJOR thing that i couldn't wrap my head around. That was to have the ability to freely move around a "clip" linearly all through out the track. When i had it you were not able to do this and the work around for it was to create another "scene" at the exact time in the track that you wanted it and it was just a very sloppy and frustrating way to do it. So much so, that i returned my mk3 to guitar center just 3 weeks later, before the 30 day return period ended. I was really disappointed because i really REALLY wanted to keep it because besides that i was loving it. Obviously from your video it looks like that is "fixed" and i am feeling very excited to get a mk3 again because even after being with Ableton for a little while i still think maschine does it in a way that just makes so much sense and feels extremely intuitive with the mk3 and maschine working together

    • @MusicMemor
      @MusicMemor  6 місяців тому

      Yeah, I believe clips are relatively new (a couple of years maybe). I couldn't imagine using maschine without clips. I don't blame you for returning it. They add so much to the workflow and flexibility. I'm hyped for you to get your Maschine MK3 again and have clips available to you this time. It sounds like Native Instruments will be updating their software sometime soon, so hopefully that comes with substantial improvements
