Hey whats going on.. i'm
a FL Studio (since Version 8) - now using Maschine dude too..
& i've been hitting a lot of pit stops trying to progress in Maschine. you sound like you have some answers
so if you wouldn't mind, i'd like to share a message that i sent to Native Instruments.. (its one of many messages)
they only replied once.. & that reply was bogus (meaning they sent a link to their Manual, with page numbers.. like no one would ever think to check their manual before going directly to them for answers).
Here's the message i sent them.. if you have answers you can share, it would be greatly appreciated:
Everything on the Plug-in list is from the Native Instruments factory. if you want to Load & access Plug-ins that are EXTERNAL.. NOT from the NI Factory.. how do you do that.??
i’ve checked the “Get started manual” & the more comprehensive
Maschine 2.0 manual.. & it gives very detailed steps for how to do things with the Internal (Factory) Plug-ins (i.e. Massive & such).. BUT.. although the manual keeps saying “AND” External.. it kinda completely ignors “HOW”.. & lets loading & using “External” Plug-ins remain a mystery. i do have some “Favorite” sounds &
effects that are not from Native Instruments factory.. & i would appreciate details on how to install & load them.
Plug-ins that are not strictly a simple DLL (a DLL file that can be dropped into a folder), plug-ins that require a install.. HOW do you do that,
what is the procedure.. i’ve exhausted myself looking for detailed & correct info online, on forums, on Youtube (even paid memberships on online websites, that take peoples money & don’t gives answers: “Maschine Tutorials”). This is still a mystery. i want to be creating, not wasting time trying to decode a mystery.. this has been frustrating.. there is reams & reams, & volumns of stuff that lead us all over the place on your “Knowledge base” that don’t pinpoint or give answers to this simple “How to” question.
After i go to Preference/plug-ins/locations & “add” the Plug-ins folder location, WHERE do i click to upload the EXTERNAL plug-in. in Maschine 1.8 it was clear.. in 2.0 the external plug-ins are hard to install, load, & hard to locate. i’m a very computer savy person, but this area is stagnating my progress. i’m sure i’m not the only one.
its 2014 now, i spent a lot of money on your hardware, 2.0 software upgrade, expansions & so on.. i’m a Registered NI customer .. looking for a correct way to do things.. can i get some help.?
