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

    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!

    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…
