I'll try to explain the mind smacking serendipity that I experienced tonight; in part due to discovering this video. I was researching the process to sell my MK3 when I accidentally came upon this video. The hunger to learn is back with a vengeance and I've at long last found my teacher! Thank you for a top shelf dose of clarity and professionalism. Whatever is next, just sign me up.

I've had the MK3 mostly collecting dust next to me because I was missing simple instruction like this. Thank you!!

finally! this should be one of NI's own introduction videos! this was just what i needed! you come across so clearly and i wish i had found this video before all this frustrations i experienced throughout my 1 week of owning the product! It is almost as if there is just shortcuts explained no menu dives thank you so much Jef!

Had my mk3 almost a year and was using it for a paperweight the last few months I was so frustrated trying to learn how to use it from tutorials which usually frustrated me more. They went so fast that I would have to rewind and watch over and over to finally figure it out then stumbled across your tutorials and now I'm proud to say my Mk3 is totally dustfree and I'm actually starting to have fun with it! You the man Jeff!

Jeff, I don't have Maschine but have promised it for myself some time in 2022! Your video was recommended to me, you have a very patient way of explaining and that Analogue Dreams melody was impressive! Thx :)

I wish I had come across this A year ago. Having spent my hard earned cash on udemy and groove 3 courses and still left confused, your intro means the fog has lifted for me. Thank you so much. You have a new subscriber 😊

Jefferson, you are the best teacher of maschine on YT. Hands down. I search for more and have come back to you multiple times. Reason being, in my mind, is that you have a lot of valuable content in short segments. It's hard to digest fully. You do slow it down to reiterate certain things, other's get passed...but, it's like Rague, "it's in there" . I just have to revisit and learn the parts I missed while grasping the first bit. Thanks a million.

Thanks for doing what many others say but don't. You make it easy to follow as if you'er truly new to Maschine MK3. You use examples with sound that usually come with the MK3 and show us how to discover many of the fine points that others leave out or assume you already know. Thanks for knowledge.

You are the MAN! Inspired me to start putting my own Maschine vids onto my youtube channel! I need to step up my game now. Thanks for all your hard work explaining some of the confusing things about the MK3, the tips are priceless.

Finally I got into the groovebox/beatmaking thing and bought me a MK3, and go through all your tutorials, and they got me up and running, thx a lot for all these high quality video's, love your style and professionalism, again thx a lot,

By far the most useful and clear intro demo I’ve seen to date - thank you!!

Jeff! Thank you for making this. I know you pushed this out back in February, but I just discovered it by accident. I have never used any of the Maschine products from NI but a family member has the Mikro and told me that if I want to create and be very portable, Maschine makes more sense due to the on screen editing features. The closest I ever came to it was testing an MPC many years ago. Of course, we both know every person creating a tutorial has their own style. I've watched a few tonight and am so glad I came across yours, young man! And yes- I had to subscribe because your content and delivery to a future newbie is spot on. The multi camera angles are a nice touch and your video is nice and clear. You're organized and make good examples of what could happen using longer methods as opposed to shortcuts ("macros", right?). I looking to get my first Maschine in a few days. It also appears that you are using a Mac for your creating. Are you making magic via a Mac Mini or the Mac Pro? Asking because I am trying to minimize my setup at home while retaining portability. If you are quite familiar with MacOS, would you happen to know if this Machine Mk3 will work well with the iPad Pro with it's upcoming iOS 13 (or iPadOS)? I know generally you have to connect this to the laptop/desktop computer, but I am asking to see what your experience reveals. I envision the 2018 iPad Pro, Maschine Mk3 connected via a USB-C (Thunderbolt 3) cable, and a SanDisk portable 1TB SSD. Thoughts? Well have a great day and please keep making more great videos where you simplify the processes for the uninitiated! Have to finish your video then visit your channel for more! Be well and take care. Much respect.

Jef, I am so glad I found your video. You are so much clearer than the NI manual, and more to the point also. Excellent Introduction. Many Thanks.

Dear Mr. Gibbons, I really dig the videos you produce! Amazing source of knowledge and musical talent. Please keep on posting your MK3 videos. You only are the reason my slow but ever improving getting grasp of the Maschine depths.

So always LOVE your tutorials Jef that I find myself revisiting them all the time. Maschine MK3 is indeed the best.. reminds me of my old Alesis HR-16 & MMT-8 days but throwing in so much more. The Ultimate producer's programming dream machine making one creative again without getting lost in their DAW solely.

I have a Groove 3 subscription and have bought a Udemy course, but nobody has come close to explaining Maschine like you Jef! Thank you for doing this! 🙏🏾

Really in-depth, and really well presented; I've been using my Maschine for a week or so (coming from Ableton) and the nuances are so different. This video is a real help in learning all the buttons and areas, and I have high hopes for the rest of the series. So thank you!

BY far that best introductory video ever , wish I had this a year ago! Nice job thank you.

I just got my hands on a Maschine MK3 and I'm amazed at how much fun it is. As a total newbie, your videos are going to help me a lot, thank you.

Just got my Maschine today, and this was a great way to get kick-started. Great presentation and excellently put together. Keep it up, please :)

Hands down the most instructive intro to Maschine Mk 3 compared to MacPro Video, Ask, ADSR etc. Essential viewing for anyone new to the NI beat ecosystem. Thank you for sharing.

THE best tutorial for Maschine that I've seen so far. Thank you for this!!!

Just bought a Mk3 and this video has really simplified some of the things that I need to get started messing about with making some beats! Also love the live edge desk, got one myself where my Maschine will rest on!

I gave up with my M3 about a year ago, Was going to give it one more try before letting it go. So so glad i found Mr Gibbons. Take a bow Sir, i'm all fired up & looking forward to a fresh outlook & perhaps even actually learning how to use this amazing piece of kit. I too have looked at so many tutorials in the past but just found it so difficult to keep up & had almost decided i must be particularly stupid or just plain dumb ! You're delivery style really works for me & i'me able to take in a lot of info without being totally bombarded! Great effort thanks Jef.

Jef... thank you so much!!! I bought Maschine MK3 but I instantly knew It would be hard if not impossible for me to read the 355 pages manual of this controller. You reveal to us a profound knowledge of all mk3 aspects, which turns the learning process to noobs like me, something really engaging. Subscribing your channel at the moment. Again... thx very much ^_^

I love this. You have a relaxed approach and kept it to the basics as described in your title. I look forward to watching your MK3 tutorial videos all night long. My MK3 was just collecting dust because I felt learning a new DAW was daunting, but this video inspired me to create in new ways. Thanks man, just subscribed.

ive had this since dec25 2019 just sitting ,,then I seen this now I don't know how far u have posted it may be 20 post behind all ur turtorals but this one made me curious and juices flow like blood ,hyped,,,, see I'm a 56yr old hip hop junky well I love all but the most influential music to me is hiphop and that's my direction but soundtracks for movies commercials, an is A goals and future indexers I could choose,,,.. but u have saved a lot of ppls directions keep up the good work ....GOD BLESS ALL PRODUCERS AND BEATMAKERS..WE ARE THE MUSIC....

Thanks so much Jeff for creating this video. You've got a great flow and method of teaching. I was struggling trying to figure this software and controller out and your video made it so easy. You are the man!!!!

Jeff, greetings from Germany. This vid is absolutely priceless. Thank you for all your work and effort. Since 3 weeks I try to figure out on youtube how this works, and i am hating and loving the idea of this maschine as a new approach to making music. Yesterday for the 1st time I went here to a professional store to watch a demonstration by one of the guys there. So far I only know keyboards and Cubase to make music but I guess I will order one of them soon and enter a complete new world.

i really like your way style, man. and the way you explain. you actually motivated me to give the maschine another try (its a great piece of gear, no doubt about it, its just a very different approach to making music for me). ill gnaw myself through your vids, that is my new years resolution. thx and keep up the good work.

Just got the MK3, and this is the best intro video by far. Thanks!

Great vid jef, just bought my mk3 yesterday and this vid was the best in explaining mk3 functionality. Keep them coming :)

Thanks again for all your videos. I have watched them multiple times and they always help me. Stay safe

This is by far the best Maschine tutorial to get started. Thank you Jef you really helped me out, I appreciate your time to make this Steve

That info about PATERN+ for the kits etc saved my life, thanks man.

Very helpful. Got a Maschine MK3 about a year ago but got off track and sort of forgot about it. I pinkie swear that I’ll keep with it this time if you keep making videos. Subbed.

I got the first edition of the Maschine and just couldn't get into it as at that time I couldn't find much in the way of an easy explanation of using the device. I just ordered the MK3 after getting the music bug again (I play bass/guitar and drums, but this is all just a hobby), I'm so glad I found this channel, it's a great straight-forward explanation of the features. You got a new sub. :)

Best MK3 starter tutorial to get you going quick. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Just purchased Maschine MK3. Thank you for this tutorial. Sensei.

Thanks Jef. I just upgraded from MK1 and was looking to brush up on the features so I can take my Maschine productions to the next level. I'll be watching the rest of this series!

Sir Jeff thank you so much for your professionalism for your intuitive to show us the details that we need and helping us save time thank you so very much you're truly Danny B Funman

You're a wonderful person. Thanks for taking the time to do this. Much appreciated 👍👍

Hey Jef, this tutorial is great, good to understand and very good and clear explained. Now there are many things more i understand in learning to work with my MK3. Love to see your next Videos, thank you very much. Greetings from Düsseldorf Germany :-)

ho man you really sparked something inside me with that analog synth line. Just subscribed my guy, you're hella good at this.

Great Job Jef, even though I have maschine (mk1), I still enjoy watching good tutorials. Always something new to learn. Thanks & Keep it up, looking forward to more vids :)

Well done Jef! The best intro to the Maschine that I've found. Thanks!

This by far was one of the better intro videos I seen out there, thank you!

Great! Thanx a lot, I just tried what u explained and was really surprised about the result. Thats some magic machine!

JEFF!! I wanted you to know that you have been a great help for me with this video, and im looking fwd to watching any and ALL other videos that you have for my Maschine! Thank you VERY much!!

You are really a good teacher Jef ... thank you for this good tutorial ... will go into all the Maschine tutorials you have posted as I just received it yesterday and you are the man to take me to understand how it works ... please keep on doing this good work ... thank you

You're a great teacher. Liked the last tune! Thank you !

Man.. I couldn't decide between the NI Maschine or the MPC live II. I got the Maschine $$$ compared to $$$$ and found you. Thanks a Million!!!

Got me started great, thank you. Planning on watching the sampling video also, then i'm surely on my way!

I think you should do all NI tutorials. I learned more in this 20 min tutorial than months of struggling to make sense of it all. Thank you Jeff!

Thanks, Jef. Just unboxed my MK3 this evening and after your video I am way ahead of where I would have been otherwise. I think I will have to give it a re-watch tomorrow but it certainly got me going. I'm also a amateur photographer and videographer so I am glad to have found your channel. Cheers!

You deserve wayyyyy more subscribers! Great tutorials. Your channel made my Maschine experience 100 times better👍🏽

Nice tutorial, and you're good on the pads too, made that beat like a boss

First helpful video I have seen on this thing. Thanks!

Best Maschine Videos Ever. THNX!!!

Thanks a ton for putting together these videos, Jeff! It has really helped me to get up to speed with the Maschine.

I've watched a good number of videos and so much of what you've discussed was left out by the other presentations. You filled in many holes and it is most appreciated. Very nice - and professional - explanation of how to use this somewhat complex hardware/software. Thank you.

This is the video that convinced me to buy the Maschine Mk3

Killer Work Jef - Thanks for the tips and basics.

Just got mine and your vids have been great help 👌

Awesome Vid!!! I've had my MK3 staring at me for a while. This is a good beginners breakdown

Man, thank you so much, very straightforward. If my father had taught me Maths the way you taught us this, I'd have been a genius. Respect brother! 🙌🏿 New sub/like for you 😊

Thank youuu Jef ...You are amazing .... Your tutorials are the best .... they are really helpful ... love from India

Thank you for this easy to follow, straight to the point intro to using the MK3. I was beginning to lose the will to live with trying to fathom how and where to start. Whilst there are plenty of other 'Beginners' tutorials out there, the ones I have so far watched are overly feature rich with 'do this, hold that, press shift and stand on one leg' type instructions. Overwhelming to say the least. What you present here is exactly what I needed :)

Props my friend. I've had a MK1 since it came out but really only used it as a sample trigger and then recently bought a MK3 and Jam combo and was struggling a bit to wrap my head around it. My background is with analog devices. You did a good job. Thanks for your help dude.

Thanks for making these videos, great kick starter for my new Maschine!

Just what I was looking for. Thanks

Man all this time i had a mk3 and never tried to Learn it cuz i use another DAW but this plus gonna make me learn it again after watching this i think i might enjoy more than just the drums i didn’t even know you can do scales smh thank you appreciate the help and effort

Such a helpful video. I've been using Komplete Kontrol for a year and have a Maschine coming in today, and I learned a lot for both products just watching this. Thanks so much!

Great video! I just got Maschine and thanks to you got how to use it! Thank you!!!

Brilliant vid Jef!

hi, jef; thanks so much for your time and expertise... you are a gifted communicator!

Thank you for providing such a simple easy to follow intro

I'm decently familiar with my MK3, so may not be the target audience as much for this particular video, but still wanted to comment to say I enjoyed it. Been hunting through MK3 videos, looking for tips/tricks to pick up, and learn the software/hardware a little better. I think this is one of the better videos I've seen, and a great video for anyone just getting started!

This is gonna be indispensable once I get my Maschine, thank you OP , Plz don't take this down 😅

Hey you did a really good job with this one. You explained the basics quickly and it made a lot of sense. Thanks! Please post more videos like this one.

Jef you’re the best with these tutorials thank you

Dude, You're the MAN!!! Thank you for this, and all your vids, PRICELESS! :)

Another fantastic tutorial from mr Jef. Thank you Sir.

You make brilliant tutorials/videos! Thank you so very much...

Man your Tutorials are just high quality! Thanks man!

Just bought a Maschine studio and was very much in the dark, this vid has helped so much. A few differences between mine and the mk3 as far as interfaces goes but no major deal.

Perfect beginner tutorial, really helpful

This video is pure gold!

In just 20 minutes I was capable of taking my Maschine MK3 and start making music. Outstanding!

I just can say THANK YOU! NOW I can make some music with my Maschine MK3

Very helpful! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!

Jef... I literally can't thank you enough. After having watched SO many videos before taking delivery of my MK3 yesterday I truly believed I was the oracle for all things NI Maschine MK3. As it turns out, I didn't know what button you pushed to make the god damn thing work!!!!! This was so helpful man. New subscriber and I'm now about to watch the rest of your tutorials! Thanks again dude! Keep up the awesome work! And please keep the MK3 tutorials coming haha!

Your teaching style is GREAT...and that's coming from someone who also teaches maschine. Great work !

Nice upload! Very helpful in the break down of the hardware!

Awesome video! Very clear and to the point. Great Job!

That's one of the most useful machine tutorials I've ever seen even compared to paid courses. I feel like you could easily expand this into a full paid course. You can cover so much content just at the 18:00 mark when you jump to having the project fleshed out with more scenes.

Thanks very much for this really helpful guide. It has helped me a lot

Super helpful video, this is better than the official tutorial imo

Excellent tutorial. You just sold me on it !!

Jeff, these are such great videos, I feel like I owe you money! I bought a Komplete Kontrol S49 a bit ago, and found these videos...I have now purchased Maschine haha! Gonna be digging through this playlist for sure! Wondering if you would ever consider doing a video on using the Komplete Kontrol Keys in tandem with Maschine through a DAW? I imagine they compliment each other well and curious to see if there are any special functionality or workflow eases tips using the two...would love your input!
