Surprisingly Native Instruments released another update for Maschine, which is super quick since there previous update was only a couple of weeks ago.
Usually an update this fast is just a bug fix, but they actually added some new functionality, and some of the new audio looper features are pretty dope.
They added a new “target” mode, that lets you decide what happens to your new audio loops, there’s an option for takes, patterns, and sounds.
In this video I’m showing the sounds mode because it really fits the workflow I like to use and have been wanting in Maschine for a long time.
*access instantly when you join today!Yeah, I still think there are many ways to improve it, but in terms of being able to quickly capture my ideas as audio loops they definitely made it super smooth.
There’s definitely many ways this can be useful, from my workflow to someone using it as a traditional looper, yet having access to individual parts of the loop on their own channel. Sound design, sound library creation, etc, lot’s of ways to use it.
Have you tried it yet, if so, what do you think or how do you plan to use it?
best maschine update in a min! I hope folks realize how game changing this one is
Facts bro! Super smooth workflow.
thank you for this
No problem, it’s a nice workflow for sure.
SaintJoe,
Thanks for this. But is it possible to do this same workflow using other “software” instead of using ‘external hardware’ to capture loops? If so can you send me detailed instructions how? I figured I should be able to do it with my Focusrite Liquid56 as an Audio Interface setup in ‘loopback’ mode to capture Audio I am playing from Logic Pro X……..is there a workaround for this?
I appreciate your help….
Awesome, thanks for this video. Definitely going to help.
Cool, enjoy! It’s a dope workflow for sure.
This workflow is so convenient . I have a question.How did you get this different hardware work inside of maschine. And would you be able to arrange the audio in that one pattern.
What do you mean by different hardware? And yeah, you can arrange the audio using your patterns.

Hey fam! Maschine doesn’t care “where” the audio comes from, if you can route it into Maschine you can sample/loop it. Doing this virtually depends on your audio interface, if it has “loopback” recording where you can send audio between apps, then it should work. You’d just have to setup your interface’s mixer to send audio from Logic via loopback and in Maschine you would choose that input to record from. I do not have any instructions specifically as I don’t own a Liquid interface or Logic, but I know it can be done because I’ve used Focusrite devices in… Read more »
Hey Fam, I don’t have a problem getting it a signal in Maschine with my Saffire in Loopback mode. The issue is that when I have set on sound target mode to record audio, just like you have it set up in your video, and I try to record a ‘second’ audio track, Maschine records ‘everything’ (the previously recorded track) and not just the sound I am playing? How do I rectify that? Like you….I love ‘building’ my own beats this way.
Ahhhh. Sounds like you need to remove Maschine signal from the loopback mix. I bet that’s what is happening.
I have the same problem of re-recording each loop onto the next loop. I am just using Maschine Studio and m y audio interface is Apollo Twin. No external mixer. Would you please explain how to not have recorded audio tracks get added to the next track when I go to record a new one?
What are you recording from? You need to capture whatever is coming into maschine not the output from maschine.
Hi, thanks for the tutorial. How were you able to record the first drum track without the metronome getting recorded, too? I can’t figure out how to use the metronome without it getting onto the audio track along with my external audio.
I’m recording the external input not recording maschine output
