Please respond. Really need help with this Maschine

I manually out it to One-Shot mode on the Maschine software on my Mac. I usually get me sample and throw it into sound 1. Then I begin to chop the things I want (which is the start and end point). Literally after that I hold down SHIFT and press the REC button so that I can get the COUNT-IN. Wait till it clicks four times and tap the pad, which is on One-Shot. After the chopped version is completed I click on REC so that the only thing that is glowing is PLAY and it never plays back what I recorded.

 

I understand what you mean, but I'm using One-shot. I just want to tap it and have it recorded. If I'm doing it wrong, how am I supposed to the pattern have notes in it by using One-Shot?

 

How you're doing it should work for recording a one-shot.

You haven't really addressed either of the main points of our posts though...
1. Are there note events in the pattern?
2. What is your count-in set to? One bar or two bars (or more)?

Number two could be the issue you're having, though I'm skeptical about you having changed it from its default... Please check though.

 

Using one shot is fine. Just that if you leave the sampler in ADSR you have to be sure to hold down the pad to trigger so I wanted to make sure that was not the issue.

Do check your count in settings to make sure it is not set to count in for 8 or more counts. Make sure that the sampler is not still recording a sample. Also exit the sampling mode like I showed in the pic.
Edit: Just so you are aware, 1 Bar count in is = 4 counts if set to 1/4. This is the default.

Also try to start with a new project and record a short sample without slicing or chopping or messing with anything. I was not aware that you are slicing the sample and somewhere here could be where you are going wrong. The less steps and messing with settings then the less chance for error. Then you can narrow down where your are running into trouble. Check that there is a note being recorded the pattern like I showed in the picture.

 

So basically when I want to record a sample I have to exit out of sampling mode? Where should I go to then?

 

I'm starting to think this guy is an elaborate troll...

 

I hope not, that would be messed up.

Are you serious?

Just in case, use sampling to record and edit the sample. Exit sampling to record playing that sample to the sequencer. Where you go? the picture I posted shows you to just tick the sampling button icon and that lands you where you should be.

 

he should be able to see right off if there is a wave form in the edit window or even the thumbnails next to the start button. most of the time it works perfect for me but i had a few times it did not record, it was odd, but i think it was because the computer slept even though i was fully using m2 at the time... other times there was a delay of a few seconds before the recording suddenly appeared.

read the getting started manual again... after you hit start, it will say "waiting", then select the play button in the main transport of m2, not the record (if you select record it will not record your audio). when you stop the play of the main transport, or stop it via the record window, it will stop the sample recording. if you have it in detect mode, you need to have it loud enough to detect - you should see the meters move. if any of these terms are unfamiliar to you, please read the manual on recording samples - it is really easy.

 

If you think I'm trolling **** off. I wouldn't be here asking questions if I was. If you think I'm trolling then please stop wasting your time replying. This is a serious matter for me. Thank you all who helped me.

 

you best off just reading the manuel,im comeing from a daw and a mpc background ,so im at home with machine ,every promblem in this thread ?? its so simple too do in maschine than a daw

 

mashine is not a toy ,you cant just jump into ,you gots have some kind of knowlege

 

I realized..thanks anyways guys.

 

But his issue is with getting his recorded sample to playback via the sequencer, not the sampling itself...

What do you expect when two of us have asked direct questions and given very specific suggestions (I even outlined, repeated, and numbered them), but you ignore them and ask basic "RTFM" questions instead?

Your issue is a very weird one from the info we have and we have tried to help you, but you need to answer the questions to help troubleshoot the problem.

 

Sorry I'm new to this. I literally got this a week and a half ago and I thought coming here would help me.

 

Still you have not answered the questions though...

 

1. There are no note events in the pattern.

2. I don't know what you mean by count-in set to. It usually clicks 4 times and on the 4th click I tap the pad.

 

I showed you the picture on the second page of this thread of the preference option. You can also hold shift + grid on your Mikro hardware to see the settings. At least I think the option is there on the Mikro like it is on the other hardware.

If there are no note events then you did not record any notes. You are probably just entering the note too soon. You should not play on the 4 but on the 1 of the next bar after the count in. Wait until you see the transport bar move before playing the pad.

 

There's your issue... As b-righteous says, you're playing the sample during the count-in and notes aren't recorded then or until the next bar when the pattern recording actually starts. This is why you have no note events in your pattern.

 

So as soon as I hear the first click I should tap it?

 

OMG! That's not what I said.
