This video shows how easy it is to get to sampling by using your phone or iPod with Maschine.
For many this is much easier and even more flexible than trying to figure out how to route sounds virtually through different software, etc.
By using your phone or iPod you can sample anything from your mp3 library, anything you can access/play online, or any movies, videos, youtube, or whatever else you have on your phone or iPod.
I show you the cables and connectors you need and also show you the basics of sampling into Maschine.

*unless u dont mind using mono samples, make sure u get the STEREO version of this rca to 16th" adapter. kan get em from radio shack, too… 🙂
that is the stereo version 😉 Maybe you couldn't see both lines in the video lol, I tried to show them but it's kinda small ha!
you talk about duplicating but i dont see how.
hold duplicate button, hit pad you want to duplicate, then hit the pad you want to move it to
Thanks for asking about “duplicating” I couldn’t figure it out until I read the comments.
Great vid! Have tons of music on iPhone and old iPods. Bout to make good use of em.
Wow, mane…learned alot of this joint here…16 levels velocity spread out…Had no idea, lol. Group polyphony, I was missing that bit there, check!!!! Its 4am…..I gotta go to bed, you keepin me up mane!
@Byron, no doubt fam, that's whasup!
@ vividrush yeah man lol, glad to help! There's a lot of small things that make a big difference when using Maschine!
question, is it possible to record in stereo using an rca to a single 1/4 adapter? and you would connect a regular turntable in the same way right?
if your 1/4" plug is a stereo plug and not a mono one, and the input you're using on your interface accepts it as a stereo input it would work.
turntable depends on your interface but in general you just hook the outputs to the inputs of your interface
thanks!
no doubt
SJ, wats goo man. fadatiko (from youtube) here. Is BTV & BPM working with maschine ok for you as vst. my Maschine arrives next week but I am just checking out ahead of time.
welcome fam, btv works fine, bpm and a few other motu products have some issues
Thanks fam!!
no problem yo!
Yo Joe! is it the same as if you ran 1/8″ to 1/8″ from your iPhone to my MacBook Pro and just ran the audio into my laptop that way? That way, I don’t have to be near my audio interface. I like to do alot of programming and messing around in my living room. Thanks!
yeah, as long as you have a way to record you’re good!!
Hi, that was really good thnx, my only question is that I didnt see when you were slicing and saving the sound and saving it in diferent sound group, so I couldnt figure it out how to do that? thnx
you can hit “apply to” then hit an empty group button and it will put your slices into that group.

Great tutorial man! I don’t have a hardware interface, is there a way I can sample my phone using the microphone jack on my computer?
Also, what do you use if you just want to grab some audio from a youtube video on your PC?
you sample using the “line in” on your internal soundcard. Sampling from youtube depends more on your soundcard, if you have a “stereo mix” option in your system recording preferences you should be able to do it.
Cool. I do have stereo mix and a ‘line in’ on my soundcard 🙂
Do I need third-party software to record audio, or can I input right into the Maschine software?
You sample into maschine. Go into audio settings in maschine and configure the routing under input so it can use the stereo mix input.
Ayo Joe!!! Question for you botha… I got a FocusRite Saffire Pro 14… Maybe I got the inputs and outs set-uo wrong but Machines isn’t picking it up… Can you help me out on it fam… Preciated kid!!
which inputs do you have it plugged into? Set it to use 1 and 2 then make sure you have the gain turned up on the inputs. make sure 1 and 2 is set as your input in Maschine’s audio routing.
@Joe yep 1 and 2… DAW 1 and 2 is that right? In Machine it doesn’t let me select DAW 1,2… Thanks for all the help kid
no, daw 1 and daw 2 are your outputs, you want input 1 and input 2 Mines show up as IP 1 and IP 2 on the pro 24
That sample sounds so much like that track Sticky did on his Black Track album called, What if I was White. Sorry, had to get that out of my head lol
Oh word? cool, never heard it.
How you change it to one shot I miss that part

thanks man – perfect
No doubt man, glad to help as always!
Might have missed something but I presume that I can also use my iPad? Will streaming via Spotify on the iPad also work?
Again may have missed this but if I purchase a multi channel mixer/audio interface where do I plug the Maschine into (my laptop or the mixer?). Will a USB audio mixer work as well?
Sorry for all the questions 🙂
Thanks bro
Yeah fam, iPad works too, as long as you can route your audio out of it into your computer interface you’re good. I sample sounds from my iPad all the time too.
Thanks man, will start looking for one now 🙂
no problem bro, have fun!
Thanks Joe another great video. Really enjoying the series.
I have got a fireface 800 so plugged a mini jack to jack cable into my iphone which works fine.
I have got Bowie tracks on every pad.
Can’t help it. I’m English !!
hahahaha, nice man, glad you got it rockin!
i love bowie too and im american,,,
Also Joe although the sampling works great. I cant hear anything while it is playing.
Am I doing something stupid ?
press the little speaker next to the input meter in the sampling screen if you want to monitor what you’re sampling
i need a exactly name of the cables you used went to radio shack and i still got the wrong thing i got the stereo splitter but only have a y cable to go into my interface what is the the other cable
I have a stereo adapter that has a 1/8″ on one side and you can get them with rca or 1/4″ outputs depending on what cables you need.
Or you can get a Y cable that has 1/8″ stereo on one end and goes out to two 1/4″ connectors or 2 rca connectors. I’m assuming your interface has 1/4″ connections so you’ll want 1/8′ to 1/4″ adapter
*exact*
thanx man and one more thing i want to take the sensitivity off my pads kinda like a steady sound like the imaschine on the phone is there a way to do that????
No doubt, press pad mode then click “fixed vel” for full velocity
Whats Goodie Saint Joe…? Im trying out this new concept using ipod and my cell phone but Im recieving alot of peaking and distortion when im plugged in…. Is there a fix for that?
try turning down the volume on your device or turning down the gain in maschine
tried them both… still did’n’t clear up the distortion… thought it was my cable… I ran out to buy a new one but that did work out either… Ill just do it the long way for now until I retry it again later… Thank Man
Hmmm, what cable did you get? Are you using a stereo cable in a mono input, etc? Definitely shouldn’t be getting any distortion.
Whow this is nice way to sneaky steal some nice sounds from great artist :p haha , thank you very much
gonna buy tomorrow such a ” splitter ” thingy
hahahahaha, cool man, have fun!
Hi SJ,
I ve set it up exactly as above but I cannot get audio into maschine sampler. In audio/midi settings I ve got my outputs set, but the inputs are ‘not connected’. How do I connect these (in the software) with my fast track pro ?
Thanks !
Make sure you setup the inputs in the routing tab, click to choose them to turn on.
right clicking on -not connected- ??. I ve tried everything.
I was thinking, mayby it is my soundcard but using the same setup with ableton everything works perfect
The soundcard should work, unless it’s tied/locked to another device. Or maybe it’s a 32 bit vs 64 bit issue?
Dear SJ
problem solved (more ore less) Is t normal that I can choose between 2 fast track pro s under devices. Only have one sound card. If I choose the first my outputs appear, inputs do not, If I choose the second one my outputs disappear, inputs appear. Doesn t seem logical -) is there a way to solve this.
thanks
That sounds like a bug to me, you should only have one that allows both inputs and outputs. I’ve heard of a few people having this issue though in the update, not quite sure why it’s happening though.
thank god I m not slow -)
thanks !
Yeah I’m trying to figure out what is happening! Mac or PC? Is that an Asio interface or is it using wasapi drivers?
Imac, driver core audio, sound card fasttrack pro M audio
Thanks man!
Could you let me know if you find the problem ?
Thanks !!
This video is huge width and seems cut off. In fact several so far have been like this. Is that the way it supposed to be. I am on ipad.
There are still some older ones that need to be updated for mobile compatibility with our new site design I’ve been going through and updating them one by one since we redesigned a couple weeks ago. I apologize for the inconvenience.
Ah OK. Thanks saintjoe, enjoying the site regardless.
Thanks bro, glad you dig it, working diligently to get all the videos updated to work properly with the mobile design, thanks for understanding!
Any tips/advice for trying to sample a beat you can’t find the instrumental for or vocals you can’t find the acapella for? Any suggestions on where to find instrumentals/acapellas in this new digital age?
You can try to eq out the vocals. As for acapellas you should be able to find a few sites in Google.
