In this brand new tutorial, Native Instruments product specialist, producer and DJ Matt Cellitti returns to answer a frequently asked question: How to incorporate Maschine audio loops and samples into a Traktor DJ set. Cellitti explains and demonstrates how you can create Maschine drum patterns and loops and add them to your Traktor Pro 2 set by syncing the tempos and dragging and dropping Maschine patterns into Traktor’s sample decks. This technique is the easiest way add customized audio loops, samples, sounds and additional ingredients to create live remixes on the fly. The setup does not require any advanced MIDI syncing; you can get this done by simply cueing up the tempo of Maschine to match Traktor and then dragging the patterns in!

Upcoming Weekend Workshop: Native Instruments Maschine

August 27th & 28th  – 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!
