Blogman...

What options do you use when inserting the Maschine in Sonar?

- Simple instrument track and then creating miditracks?
- First Synth Audio Output
- All Synth Audio Output(Stereo or Mono)

Do you enable Midi Source and Midi Output checkboxes?

Thanks

i have the weirdest bug wih Maschine. it always lags exactly one measure behind the metronome i  Sonar. anyone else wih this problem?

blogman - thats exactly how my template is set up and how I use it. Its basically like an MPC/ASR sequencer/sampler with 16 stereo outs, all sequencing done inside Maschine with the added ability to utilize the prochannel and fx bin for each out/pad/track. you do realize also that Maschine supports drag and drop audio so you can just drag the audio straight into sonar; no need to export anything and create redundant files.

Barryl - You are wrong about that. The routing is only reassigned if you RESET the pad or group. Simply loading a new sample to the pad does nothing to effect the routing at all.

The drag and drop audio was a great feature:) Why bother with Midi messages. I will make my drums/sounds in Maschine and just drag them into Sonar. 

Perfectprint - Do you set it up like in your template, and then use drag and drop audio?
Thanks for all your help guys! 

I usually use bounce to tracks, sometimes freeze. Ill drag and drop occasionally if I want something on a new track. There are so many ways of working you will eventually figure out which is best for a certain situation. I worked with hardware samplers for a long time so I set up mine to mirror that, taking advantage of software flexibility. I will say I find the scene arranger in Maschine a bit cumbersome, which is why I often drag and drop the different MIDI patterns into the MIDI track in Sonar where its easier to arrange them alongside the rest of the project.

Ok

Great input from you all. I will get there eventually:) Anyway, I love Maschine, especially now after 1.8 with all the extra colors in the software. 
Don't feel like I need the new hardware. 

Take care!

You know Maschine 1.8 has been released today.

Yepp:) Downloaded and installed. Looks great!

Well, since we are on the subject.. :)

Since we have already covered using the multiple audio outs and discussed that there is not much doubt that it is far easier to make the drum track directly on Maschine.. however notice that you can automate scene changes via program change controls from Sonar... use the pull down box in Maschine in the scene area next to project name to enable remote midi scene control and select PC messageds

So, simply setup a one bar blank pattern> scene 1 and insert PC=0 at 1:01:000... this will cover the Sonar count in.
then make patterns at will, and pop them into scenes and insert program change notes ( i use the even list) on Maschines midi track.. (with PC # one less than scene number) then you can play your track end>end.. if you wish to play freestyle, simply mute the midi track.

@bigboi.. that one bar is Sonar's lead in.. either remove the lead in in Sonar or automate Maschine to remove it..
