I Just Want To Record Live To Mp3 Or Wav!

Seriously, this is a huge and annoying problem now. Routing Maschine? Hell no! I'm sick of seeing "use a mixer", "just use ableton", "Logic works", "Sunflower is good". I don't want to have to go through 9 to 12 different steps to just get Machine to record live. Same goes for any other NI program/device. I just want a simple, Left and Right, just need to push that button, record feature that makes MP3s. Seriously NI, you develop all of this great tech, and you can't even do that?
I love my Maschine, but how the hell am I going to be able to record anything if I have to throw $500 of my cash just so I can record an mp3 or wav? I don't give a damn what company heads think, I just want to record my sets onto a MP3 or WAV. I want to be able to loop something 10 times and the MP3 recording has it ten times!

Has anyone found something that makes this simple? I don't want to fuss with changing my computer's settings, then Maschine's settings, then the other program's settings, then re-work Maschine's settings again. Garage band almost worked, but I couldn't load my projects, it blocked what ever was being inputed.

So someone please help me because this is a serious problem. How do I record a live set using Maschine and get a MP3 or WAV file without using Logic, Ableton, SunFlower, etc.?

Or, if I absolutely need to buy something, would Ableton Live Intro be a good thing to purchase if I'm just looking to record audio from Maschine? (still would prefer something free, and internally made by NI that wouldn't cost me).

 

if you want to loop something for 10 times and the wav recording has it for 10 times.

duplicate the same Scene x 10 and use Export Audio All Scenes

well if you just want to record a live set into maschine then you just hit sample! You will need an audio interface to do this which you would need anyway.

Not that difficult TBH.

The routing RANT is if you wish to record from a computer based source-which wouldn't be a live set now would it?

 

For what its worth, I'd use wiretap.

I'm on mac.

I've found it pretty awesome for many tasks.

Trivial to setup, and you can get it to record from any app or device.

 

ok... i haven't tried this but i'm sure it will work... after you make your beat, use a empty pad and hit sample, select master as internal source, arm the record, its going to say waiting for signal, press play... its basic resampling but, i'm positive you can mute and solo while recording, i believe as long as its in record mode it will not shut the recording down... ill give a try just to see if it works, but i'm sure, the only problem is it will only be wav.... and thats one gripe i have with NI i wanna bounce down to mp3 sometime just to send my beats straight to my Ipod...

 

Thanks, I'll take a look.

Sowari, I don't want to waste up 10 scenes, derp!

THE WIDOWMAKER... I know I'll need an audio interface because Machine doesn't have one built in. Also, it would be a live set if I'm messing with effects, samples, and everything else in real-time. Say its scene one, and it loops for 3 measures, but measure 4 I change the pitch of one of the sounds. I let it loop again, but this time I change measure 2. To have to mess with making new scenes is a hassle, and needing an external audio interface to record it is increasingly ridiculous, but understandable (if NI just wants to help other programs make more money, its business).


Given that, ikarys I look at what you suggested, but would Ableton Live "Intro" work for what I need?

 

tried it and fx, mute, solo all work, it takes a little getting use to because switching between groups and sounds is kinda hard... but i'm sure with a little bit of practice, the method i put up is just what your looking for... remember to have enough room on your hard drive cause wavs take up tons of space...

and for $70 bucks i think the post about wiretap is the best option... i might even purchase that even though i got a great sound card and all...

 

No idea . I have Ableton Suite 8, and it definitely works. However, for what you describe, I'd still just use wiretap.

I'm pretty sure using Ableton would require a few more steps.

 

use reaper and use reroute to record the live output of maschine

 

just learn how to use Maschine properly and you might find that it does what you want!

hopefully other users will help you in the future.

Lol How you"waste" scenes is beyond me! Especially when it would take two seconds and be what you're looking for exactly.

 

Yea just list it in

The request site

 

Thank you for the input everyone! Wire tape looks like it could work. I'll have to research this more. When you give suggestion though, can you provide links? Possibly hyper-link the names? Thanks.

 

Resample the master track internally and it will create wav for you in your recording folder with the date.

 

isnt there a plugin that will do this?

 

or just put Guitar Rig fx (or the free player version) with a tapedeck on the master.

 

Know your gear!

 

Wouldn't it be possible to run the Maschine as a VST in like VSTHost and route/record in that?

 

use reaper.

you can route easily the master channel of maschine to a track in reaper and record every single change you do in maschine in real time. it is easy. i think you will find many videos on youtube for that

 

I wonder if enough ideas have been posted yet ;-)
