Producertech has launched the Complete Guide to Maschine Jam, a new video tutorial course by Rob Jones.

Maschine has fast become one of the most desirable bits of kit, not just for creating beats like its MPC predecessor, but in fact entire arrangements, for performing or in the studio. In this comprehensive set of tutorials, senior tutor Rob Jones takes you through every detail of the Jam hardware, explaining the many techniques and different approaches to creating music.

After showing the main functionality of the software, so anyone new to Maschine is up to speed, Rob dives into the hardware, beginning with a detailed look at the dedicated Browser for Jam, and how the d-pad and encoder are employed to navigate it. Then, there are thorough explanations of each of the main button modes, including 1-, 4- and 8- sound step modes, pad and keyboard modes, and the piano roll. Rob also shows how to use the touchstrips to mix, edit and automate devices, change step parameters, play notes and control the recently released Perform FX! The course ends with a detailed look at how Maschine Jam works in DAWs like Ableton Live and Logic Pro.

As well as over 3 hours of streamed tutorials, the course comes with the Maschine projects made in the lessons and 4 free Maschine kits from Niche Audio. Before signing up, check out the sample modules for an example of the course content and delivery.

The Complete Guide to Maschine Jam is available from Loopmasters for £34.95 GBP.

Loopmasters has also launched a limited time sale on the Complete Guide to Omnisphere, Signal Fundamentals & Sound Design, and the Stutter Edit Producer’s Guide, offering up to 43% off until June 14th.
