Recording Guitar in Maschine MK3

Greetings,

I am having problems getting the right guitar tones into Maschine. Before the Loop feature I routed my guitar signal through a group and sent the signal to another sound of a different group and recorded my guitar sound with the guitar rig fx on it. Now it is impossible, I just purchase the Nueral Dsp suite and I have tried everything and the tone are horrible when using Maschine interface. I hooked up my old Komplete audio 6 interface and tried to crank up the line level and the tone was still off. I tried added and audio track and placed the Nueral plugin as an effect next in the signal chain a tried to sample into Maschine using the loop and take feature, nothing but a disaster. Guyouitar players need a better solution for recording, either we get a new MK4 with Line level controls for guitars and impedance considerations, or we get a full blown DAW, or introduce a replacement for Guitar Rig, Now I suspect I have to purchase an active DI Box to get the right tone. I was trying to keep my studio simple but here we go. Akai and Ableton is catching up to Native Instruments. Native Instruments has become what Akai was. Now that they have gain some significant market share in the space, they have forgotten their customers. I really do not want to go back to akai.

Thanks for your prompt response

 

To sort it out try to record a clean guitar signal, and then write if it's sounding clean or if any error occurs at this stage already.

i think this is still possible, right? A sound with guitar rig as a plugin (in group A) has an external input, and another sound in another group (B),uses the internal source of group A for sampling. Or are you saying it *is* possible, but it just sounds bad? Is the problem specifically in loop mode?

 

Thanks for the reply.


It is possible, it just sounds terrible. Every guitar player know it’s all about the tone. I will purchase an active DI box and see if that will give the impedance and line level signal to get the desired sound I need. Before the loop feature it worked just fine.

 

Which loop feature? And what do you mean by “it sounds terrible”? You are somewhat rambling.

Fwiw, you can’t expect a quality tone with a mic input and a digital amplifier.

But yes, you need a DI box to get clarity and proper gain.

 

Maybe your cable is toasted for all we know

 

Sorry to bring this post back from the dead. I'm currently recording guitar into Maschine via the Sampler and my Komplete Audio 2 interface. How exactly can I set it so that my Guitar Rig FX can be heard while recording the sample? I can't seem to get it to work unless I switch the sample to an audio unit after recording, then lay Guitar Rig on top of that. I can only hear a clean guitar sound in the Sampler.

 

If you don't need to change amps after recording, you can set the input of a sound to your interface, have Guitar Rig running as a Group effect, send the sound of the group to a sound in another group and record/sample there. That way, the amped sound is recorded.

Or you could sample on a sound (input set to your interface) and while recording send these sounds' audio to Guitar Rig which runs on a separate sound.
That way, you record unaffected clean guitar and can change the amps and fx after recording
