Sampling at first can be tough, But I know my Maschine AMA

[Will 5000]

I have a lot of fun sampling, before I felt like it was hard so i did just one for most songs, now I put multiple samples in instrumentals with hooks to have more to choose from. If you have any questions about sampling I use maschine mikro with native instruments.

man i just bout a maschine mikro i want to get into more hardware . cant figure the samling for the life of me smh lol

 

[Will 5000]

for starters you'll need a mic, and a audio interface. the maschine mikro has its very own sampling button right under "save" let me know where you get stuck at.

Usually it's slicing up the sample and assigning Pads each different part of the sample . Guess I should watch a couple tutorials and get equipped with the mapping of the maschine mikro

 

[Will 5000]

with that if you select a pad then you'll have to go to "pad mode" if you do group you just select that group.
hope that helps ya.

What do you normally do to your drums in maschine if anything? I'm new to the whole mixing scene and i'm having trouble getting my drums to sound the way that I want

 

[Will 5000]

What I normally do for my drums is just play with the voices till they sound right.

how do you want them to sound?

 

[jtrainor24]

I want more of a grimey sound. If you ever listen to like roc marciano or preemo I want more of that kind of sound.

Lofi, saturation, distortion, experiment with some effects and some filtering to dirty em up a bit

As a user of the Maschine Mikro MK2 I've found it extremely simple to import and slice up samples this Youtube channel really helped me out HipHopRally - YouTube. The biggest downside I currently am experiencing is with mixing and equalizing my tracks, I can't reall figure out whether its the software or my lack of knowledge.

 

[Rekordhead]

The software has it's limitations but there are work arounds. You can definitely get a good mix in it, I personally don't like the mixing environment, or lack there of, so I typically use pro tools, but there's nothing stopping you from getting a solid mix in maschine if you know what you're doing.

I'll keep at it then, currently I'm using downloaded plugins. I plan on upgrading to 2.0 when I have some extra cash.

 

[Will 5000]

track it out into cubase then mix it again. there is so much that goes into one track if you spend time on it.

Or... Just pick 'grimey' sounds in the first place... It's good to be able to use all the tools listed by Rekordhead and to an extent I agree... But good sound/sample selection in the first instance will make mixing down your beat much, much easier.

Andrew Chellman is worth checking out on YouTube as well. Some really good stuff out there!
Maschine Masters - Maschine Tutorials are 2 more good spots.
KBee Original has a couple good beat walkthroughs as well.
