Maschine plus inputs guitar and micro at the same time

Rauldaniel

I’m trying to figure out how to connect both guitar and micro in Maschine plus at the same time, but I only get audio from the microphone and not the guitar .

Is it some at a time interface? Doesn’t make any sense

Rauldaniel

So basically you only have one input ? I don’t get it, from a normal interface perspective makes zero sense .

Is actually in the manual:  When a microphone is plugged in the MIC IN socket, the LINE IN 1 and 2 sockets are bypassed. Hence, if you want to record the audio from a line-level device, make sure that no microphone is connected to the MIC IN socket!

Yes, this is how it works

Thanks for confirming this miss from NI

Thanks for asking this question, and your responses. I see that we are all annoyed by this, but no solutions offered. Maybe the solution Im thinking of is to obvious, or for some reason it wont work, but I imagine putting a mixer to the line in would solve this issue.

Plugging in a mixer will not solve the problem. It’s not possible to multi-track record with Maschine. You can’t “arm” a track like you can in other DAWs.

At least I haven’t found a way and people on this forum have confirmed that it’s not possible.

It’s one of the reasons I am moving to the MPC platform. That, and the fact that AKAI actively invests in MPC, whereas NI stopped putting energy in Maschine a few years back…
