What’s good MT Fam!
You know what time it is! Time for another factory workout
You know the concept here
Your assignment is to work with ONLY the sounds in the provided project file, and see what you can come up with. You don’t have to use everything in the project, I pick out a few options for you, but you can’t use anything NOT in the project
The workout is also to use FX from the Maschine factory library only. The idea is no external sounds or plugins, everyone on the same playing field with the same tools showing their individual creativity. Tweak manipulate, resample, remake, do whatever you want to do to the sounds provided.
It’s all about having fun and working out with Maschine
i seriously just listened to the first track knock dropped on the #1 SB for motivation that joint was so sick. I hope to have learned enough to drop one this time.
Hahaha no doubt, drop one man, it’s all about the exercise and learning 🙂
Can we re-sample a sound or two and create one shots that are processed with Maschine FX?
A sound or two from the project, that is…
Yep, you can do whatever you want with the sounds in the project using Maschine fx 🙂
Hey Joe,
What would be the easiest way to condense the project elements so that I could put it on my iPhone to mess with some ideas while I’m on the train?
(since you can only have 4 groups on iMaschine, obviously you could not take ALL the content with you on the phone)
Would I simply just import the drum samples from the two percussion groups into my phone?
Just thought it might be a different way to start this project, thats all.
I don’t have an iMaschine, so not sure, but you should be able to get the two perc groups, the grab bag, and just put all the instruments in the same group no? The instruments should not add up to 16, so just copy them all to the same group and you’ll have 4 groups.
for some reason the file gets ereased from my computer wen i come back another day to work on my beat. It has happen twice already and i was almost done with it. any suggestions on why it might be doing this. it saves fine just one day out of the blue an error message prompts up.
Nope, never heard of that, make sure you’re not saving it in a folder you don’t have rights to. What error message are you getting?
im not sure wat it said exactly but i do remember it sayin file does not exist and some other bull. how do i know if i hav rights to that folder? I save all my stuff to it and everything else stays in there just not the past two SB’s. I must be doing something wrong.
Maybe try saving it with a new name?
Thanks Joe – yeah, I should be able to do that with the perc groups, but the way instruments works on iMaschine is different to normal maschine, (ie 1 instument per group only) – so putting all my instruments in one group wont work.
But getting all the drums in there will be good enough to get a start – I can use the in-built instruments to write some basic midi instrumentation, and just import that into the project, and replace it with the workout insturments.
Oh lol….my bad, that sucks a lol bit lol. But yeah you could rock the drums for sure.
i think i figured out the problem joe thanks for the help.
Cool fam
ok,, I.m gonna give this one a go… put together something in 3/4 or 6/8 … ;o)
Do it 🙂 lol
DreZ<— 5/4 or 7/4 would be more fun.
I already submitted something in 5/4 for Workout #2.
It didn't go over so well, so I didn't pursue it. 🙂
I dig everything you do so…I say go for it lol
Thank you, my brother.
Tell ya what I’m gonna do.
I have a 12 bar blues progression in 5/4 that’s been roaming around my head for about a year. Not too complicated, it’s just that I’ve never heard blues done in 5/4 before.
I like messin with time signatures. I’m no Brubeck, but I do like the way he messes with signatures.
Do it bro, would love to hear it!
Ok… done… I went back to Africa in 6/8… LoL
Loved it fam!!
I was looking for a little 5/4 inspiration and accidentally fell upon this:

One of the illest man, love GB man! One of the first records I ever bought of my own lol.
Surely we are due for another MT workout soon, right?

Been about a month hasn’t it?
Ha…. I’m super keen!
Last one was at the beginning of this month 🙂
