In this new tutorial, Native Instruments product specialist Matt Cellitti explains and demonstrates some creative new ways to sample with Maschine. Utilizing Ambrosia Software’s digital recording application WireTap to grab samples from the internet and prepare and turn them into loops you can sequence and further manipulate, chop up the audio sample in Maschine. The art of sampling, which is  taking a portion of sound and reusing it to create something fresh, has come a long way since the birth of hip hop in the 1970s when DJs and producers used turntables and vinyl records to repeat breaks and intros from songs and create new and different music.

Stay tuned for info on our upcoming 3-level course with Native Instruments Maschine which will merge performance and production with .

Upcoming Weekend Workshop: Native Instruments Maschine

Apr 30, 2011 – Sat & Sun – 7:00pm – 10:00pm
6 hours of instruction (2 sessions in 2 days)

This production/performance tool allows us to bang out sound patterns on intelligent physical pads while far exceeding the display and processing limitations of conventional hardware. The whole is greater than the sum of its parts as Maschine gives us a truly symbiotic relationship between hardware and software.

This series of  workshops will examine both halves and work out the strengths of each. Students will build kits using the library, explore optimal techniques for drum recording, sequence effects with hands-on automation, and edit and slice loops for instant playback on pads, all while streamlining your workflow… Workshop starts March 20th!

OMG where do I get that sweet maschine wallpaper? Great lesson btw. Oddly enough I had a copy of WireTap Pro that was bundled in a software bundle I bought and never installed it. This little adventure cost me NOTHING. Thanks a ton!!!
