What’s good fam!
Just a quick video on some of the software updates in Maschine 2.4.5, you can download it now from Service Center or in your NI account
- Arranger Updates: You now have the option to turn loop on/off & your scenes can be extended and are no longer tied to the length of your patterns.
- Browser Update: You can now browse by vendor in the software and on the Maschine Studio controller. They also added browsing from the Komplete Kontrol keyboards
- Audio Export Updates: You can now export the entire song without having to set the loop length, and you can also split your export by scenes.
As usual, if you have any specific questions or need help with any of the features just let us know!
I’m sure you’ve heard they pulled the update from the site because of bugs. This would explain why I had volume issues yesterday. They even said to downgrade because when they re-release the fix it might not work with songs saved with the bugged version.
Yeah, appears there was a bug with external plugin recall, some parameters weren’t recalling properly.
Yo Joe, How do I select all sense from Maschine studio controller now? The update changed it?
You no longer have to do that, if you want all scenes to play you just turn looping off.
oh yeah, i knew that. thanks anyway Joe
No problem.
Hey Joe I just wanted to know about a issue I’ve been seeing from some time now with exporting. I’ve researched and there doesn’t seem to be a real fix for it that I know of but it is one of those lesser known issues out there. When I check loop optimize to export sounds the wave file sounds choppy at the beginning from the tail that they insert at the end to keep the loop transition smooth. So any song I export to Logic sounds cut off and abrupt when you play it back from the beginning. I’m still… Read more »
Hmmm, I know each daw handles that differently, and I’m not a Logic guy so I can’t say for sure. One thing I do know, I’ve seen Logic do some cool stuff in terms of slicing precise loops, so maybe if you’re just exporting the loop, turn off optimize and then just drag them in and crop them in Logic? That way you can get perfect loops to work with.
I originally tried without loop optimize and saw that there was a gap between each loop instead of a continuous loop. While it’s not horrible I’m picky about such things so a smooth continuous playback is what I was looking for lol. Of course the loop being the pattern I played in Maschine. The more parts that are in involved in the process the more likely you are to encounter errors such is the way of things lol. All for the love of Maschine…we will see what other options are available.
Yeah, I’m more talking about just exporting one scene and then cropping the loops perfectly in Logic, so you get rid of the gap, etc. I’m not suggestion you have spaces in the loops LOL!
LMAO what…I thought you like gaps it makes things interesting ha ha!! Using Maschine changes the way you might normally do music if you were just using a regular DAW so I’ve been debating constantly over the best approach. Usually I export the sounds and not scenes but I”m thinking of changing that since if you start editing in Maschine you may not need to have everything exported separately for further mixing that is something I’ve really been questioning more and more lately. I hate the idea of getting your sound to the way you like it in Maschine and… Read more »
Ahahaha lol, yeah my fault, I meant exporting all the sounds or groups for a single scene, since they will all be the same length as the scene, you could line it up and chop it at the proper loop length and be good to go. I know I’ve seen it before Logic has something in there to make that part easy I just don’t remember where I saw it lol
Well Logic loops things pretty easily with the loop start and end points or cropping brackets as you might refer to them as, but even then you hear a small cut off in the loop when you go to the next say 8 bar loop if you don’t have optimize on. It may seem really minor but ever since my MPC days I’ve developed a critical ear that just can’t help but not want that to happen lol. I will check again this weekend to see if I still hear that as well as the choppy sound from the tail… Read more »
Nah I feel you totally bro lol, if the small space is still there then that’s def a no go LOL. And I also agree we should have better arrangement features in Maschine…a lot of us have been saying this for years so who knows lol.
Joe this sounds like the issue we talked about a while back. The export function imports oddly sometimes in other DAWs. I figured it was a one-off situation with me, but now I’m hearing this again. Hasznone, I know exactly what you mean and unfortunately I still dont have a solid export solution either! I would set up the midi/audio tracks and go real-time into logic while working in Maschine bro.
Ahh ok, been a while couldn’t remember if this was what we were looking at or not, I thought it had more to do with the tempo not being right or even some of the loops being the wrong length?
