For example: House Music\My top tracks House Music\2024 New grooves This type of naming results in the first part House Music being shown as a main folder (in Traktor) and the…

Why does License transfer take so long?
Hi, everyone! Well quite recently I sold my Maschine MK2 and on the day it was sold I requested a license transfer… In the email it was mentioned, that the transfer would take a maximum of 48hours which for the time being wasn’t the case… So I’m wondering, does it always take this long to do a simple license transfer? I’m…

SHIFT + STOP Combo or double press STOP to go to the start.
So, I was replying to yet another thread about the Stop button behavior, basically how it does not return the Playhead to the beginning with a double-press like most music SW does and while looking at Maschine's code I realized it's actually pretty simple to hack / modify... EDIT: For anyone on MacOS NIPatcher can modify…

Tonal Balance Control is a Priceless Mixing Tool
Mixing tracks is way easier after I found Tonal Balance Control. I used to spend 20+ hours on the final mix, comparing my master mix to reference songs step by step, all by ear. The process was made even more difficult because I lack access to high-end audio equipment, so getting a perfect sub-bass level was often the…

S88MK3 Sends Midi to plugin and DAW, but that's it. No browser. No Daw or transport. Plz halp. 🥲
Okay. So. I started off with a unit (S88 MK3) that didn't want to connect right out of the box. It ended up showing up as a corrupted device connection and wouldn't show up as a named device in device manager, which also meant it wouldn't trigger a firmware update in the MK3Updater. I'm unsure as to whether or not this…

An awesome way to mold your transitions to be more organic and authentic is by resampling elements of your song and adding effects. I personally, drench my transitions with…
