Use Maschine VST to sample live Guitar in Ableton
Hi,
I've got a workflow that I like for live and recording using Maschine instances in Ableton. One thing I would love to do though is live sample my guitar in the Maschine VST version so I can actually chop them live as well.
Is there a way to do this?
I load an instance of Maschine in Ableton then I have the option to choose an external input even in the VST mode, but when I plug in my guitar I don't get any sound coming in.
My working theory is that I can't do this because Maschine is loaded on a MIDI track in Ableton so Ableton won't recognize the audio coming in since it's not an audio track. Is thing right?
I love sampling my external instruments with Maschine in the software or in standalone with my Maschine + but I just can't break out of 8 bar loops into fuller arrangements with Maschine so I want to keep my Ableton workflow.

Wouldn’t it simply be better to just use Ableton/Simpler for this?
what you can do of course is record in Ableton, save the recording (create a folder for that, builds up a nice library in the process), and load it back up in Maschine. Shouldn’t be toooo much of a hassle…

You can send the output of the audio track to the Maschine track, and then you can record the audio inside Maschine. In this screenshot I am sending the output from a loop to Maschine, but the routing is the same for an audio track with a live input.

Set up an incoming audio track in Live. Then send the output of that track to the track that you have Maschine on.

I sold my Push 2 and was trying to do everything in Maschine. But I just can't arrange in Maschine. I get blocked. But I still like so much of Maschine so I got a really powerful laptop and can host a bunch of instances of Maschine inside Ableton and get the best of both worlds. Since Maschine is my primary interface with the Laptop I want to perform with it. Performing with in Maschine with my Mk3 (+) just works for me. I'll probably eventually get a Push 3, but they $$$$ so I'm working with what I've got now.

Thank you! It simple when you see it but I hit a wall last night trying to sort that out. Appreciate it! Big help.
