Hey what’s good fam! Just wanted to share a quick tutorial I posted on YouTube after getting some general questions about how to use loop mode in Maschine.
It’s something we’ve covered here in MT before but maybe not in this specific way, and it’s such a general use of the feature I wanted to share it with the Maschine community as a whole.
Basically this video covers how to use loop mode to check your start and end points when sampling to make sure you have a perfect loop. This allows for better use of the loop no matter if you’re chopping it, using it as is, or time stretching it.
Check it out!
StJoe, I also get to learn by watching you do the same mistakes that I do… Right when you started talking about truncating you moved the end point in so close to the loop point that it actually moved your loop point in and the fine adjustment that you had already done was lost. I do that ALL THE TIME. then I have to do the loop over. It is SO easy to see when I am looking over your shoulder. So, when I am getting excited about TRuncating, I can slow down and save time by doing it once… Read more »
Exactly man, that’s why I leave stuff like that in and even point it out LOL, “I messed up my loop point, I need to adjust it” LOL.
They need an option to link these two, but yeah, I love leaving in my errors like that so you can really see the workflow and common mistakes we all make.
Pee Wee Herman “I meant to do that” LOL!
Hahahaha, I leave lil mistakes like that in, it was definitely not on purpose but one of those things that happens in the process, I figure it’s better to leave in 🙂
Mannnn this is once again some good advice youre sharing bruh!
Peace and thank you sir!
cool man!
Good tip!
word fam…and where you been son! lol
sweet thanks SaintJoe.
Hey man, great vid. Any idea what happened to the loop mode on the 2.0 software? I am finding I am missing this useful function… 🙁
Nevermind, found it in the “Zone” tab….
Cool bro!
hey saint joe, so i’m working on this at home here and i got it in adsr mode… went to the zone button on machine 2.0, turned loop mode on, went to set my loop, done deal, sounds perfect, now i go back to pad mode, hit the pad to record in machine, so it’ll just play now once i hit “play” on the controller without me doing it in sampling mode…. problem is there’s like an extra kick or something that comes back stuttered… now i’m absolutely positive my loop is perfect because it was perfect when playing in… Read more »
Make sure you don’t have a double midi note or anything like that. Also make sure your loop mode and your start/end points match.
it’s weird cuz it’s almost acting like a double midi note but i don’t see where there’s any in there in the sequencer? loop mode/start end points match…
one thing i noticed is it was an 4 bar loop and brought it down to 2 bars, and at the end of the second bar you could hear the kick for the downbeat on the third bar… but my sample shows that’s physically impossible as well as my loop points…
Turn off loop mode, you don’t need it other than to check the loop, see if it still happens
and i got a perfect loop just going on when i press the pad in adsr mode…
still doing it! shucks!
Has to be how the sample is cut somewhere, check the start and end, and double check to make sure no double midi notes. Also try with oneshot mode.
so now i’m just cutting up a 4 bar loop sample and putting it into the sequencer and seeing if i have any more problems… well see what happens…
Cool
ok so just cut a perfectly looped sample for 1 bar and kept looping in the sequencer, now i go to add on the second bar in sampler, move it to 2 bars in the pattern, extend the original one bar midi note to two full bars and now it has the stutter in it… confused…
It’s not in the sample?
i’m sorry i don’t understand what you mean by it’s not in the sample? it’s a whole song that i’m cutting out the whole song except for the first two bars and wanting to loop that back in sound 1 on group a… but for some reason, i can loop the first bar back perfectly, but when i go to extend it to the second bar in the sampling edit mode and in the sequencer dragging it out to a second bar, it then doubles up or something…
I mean is the stutter actually in the sample file itself, in the recording.
nope no stutter…
it’s like the 1st bar is perfectly looped in the sequencer and the next bar it adds a kick or something, weird… i may have to take video to show you..
it’s weird cuz i took a different sample now to cut it up and it’s like now the sample almost disappears at the end of bar 2… it’s only a 2 bar loop… must be doing something fundamentally wrong here… and funny thing is i understand this really well… i have no idea what’s going on..
Do you have it on ahd instead of adsr, if the sample is fading out that sounds like ahd.
it’s adsr… trying a few more things out here…
just sent yah a video to your email, it’s everything in there that i’ve been having problems with today for some odd reason.. video i think will make a lot more sense to the questions i was asking…. thanks a bunch!
you shouldn’t have to stretch the sample or the 4 bar loop at all should you? at first i thought that was my problem, but after going in and stretching it i’m still having the same problems…
Nope shouldn’t have to stretch it, should just work based on how you cut.
Ok thanks… Video should be in ur inbox.. Let me know if u didn’t receive it.,, thanks again
Hey Joe,
I have a quick question.
I recorded a sample and am the point were I need to check for loop consistency. After verifying the sample is in ADSR mode, returning to sample mode, edit – I only 1 of 2 pages and cant seem to find where to enable loop mode?
What am I missing?
Many thanks in advance,
Look in the zone mapping section or on the sampler device when in mixer mode.
BOSS!
Glad to help man!
