The second course in the range of Complete Guides on the Maschine Courses website has now arrived, outlining in detail every aspect of the Maschine software and vast Studio hardware. The lengthy set of tutorials, which comes bundled with written notes, Maschine projects and 240MB of bonus samples, not only thoroughly explains each part of Maschine but also shows how to use the powerful groove production studio to create a wide variety of musical styles.

Brought to you by Producertech Course Director and professional producer Rob Jones, the lessons begin by taking you through all of the different ways patterns can be created using Studio, including how to play in parts, program in step mode and draw events, all of which are then edited both directly in the software and also entirely from the hardware control surface. In addition, there are lessons outlining how to create your own kits, by importing, editing and recording samples, as well as a thorough look at customising sounds with Maschine’s Sampler.

There are also lessons that teach how to layout a track using Scene mode, how to process sounds and groups with insert and send effects, how to make use of Maschine’s extensive sample slicing and stretching facility, how to automate parameters onboard and in the DAW, how to use the hardware to control external software, and much more.

With nearly 4 hours of tutorials in total, which can be accessed from anywhere in the world at whatever times are preferred, plus a wealth of downloadable materials and support on the Producertech forum whenever help is required, this online course is essential viewing for any Studio owners wanting to truly master Maschine.
