Need some inspiration on where to start with your own MASCHINE workflow? Or perhaps you’re just curious to see what other MASCHINE users have been making and how they achieved the results? Below are a selection of some of the best videos from the online, beat-making community to date.

Track building, knock style

There are very few producers out there faster than than Knock Squared on MASCHINE. Whether it’s hip hop, or house music, Knock does it all with incredible speed. Happily explaining his workflow, the producer runs through the basic-building blocks of a track, showing how quick and easy it is to sketch a beat.

Making beats at Starbucks

Beatmaker Marques Kincaid produces a first-person video of a brief production session, while sipping coffee at Starbucks. No monitors, no slick video transitions, no studio, no problem. Just the bare bones set up of a laptop, headphones and MASCHINE delivering this great result.
