Check the incoming signal in the horizontal input level meters and set the threshold accordingly by dragging the slider up or down. You can now play your external audio signal.

After having set the recording mode to Detect, you will notice the box to the right of the MODE selector has changed to THRESHOLD.

Note: If you select Sync mode, the recording will start in sync with MASCHINE's internal sequencer. With Detect, the recording will start when the incoming audio signal exceeds a defined threshold value. Here we will use Detect, since it is more appropriate for recording an external signal.

Select which MODE you want to use for the recording.

Since we have previously assigned our audio interface's physical inputs to MASCHINE's first In, we select In 1.

Click the INPUT selector to select which of MASCHINE's four Inputs you want to record.

In our example, we will be recording to a stereo audio file, so we choose Ext. Mono if you want to record a mono signal. St. from the drop-down menu if you want to record a stereo signal.

At the bottom of the Record page, click the SOURCE selector and choose Extern.

Click the Sample Editor button on the left of the Pattern Editor to switch to the Sample Editor. In the Sample Editor, click the Record tab at the top to open the Record page.

This part consists in preparing the MASCHINE Record page to record the external signal from your audio interface to a specific MASCHINE Input. The physical input channels of your audio interface are now connected to MASCHINE's Inputs. Since our external signal is coming through the Input 1 L and 2 R of our audio interface, we assign these to Maschine In 1 L and In 1 R. You can assign specific physical inputs of your audio interface to them on the right-hand side.

The left-hand side shows the MASCHINE Input channels.

Go to the Routings section and select Input.

In our example, we will be using a Komplete Audio 6 audio interface to record the signal.

Make sure that the audio interface to which your external audio source (CD player, turntable, instrument or voice) is connected to is selected as audio Device.

The first part of the setup consists in assigning the physical inputs of your audio interface to one of these stereo inputs: You can record an external signal through one of MASCHINE's 4 stereo Inputs.
