How do you record your tracks?
Just wondering how you all record your tracks...
Currently, I'm playing them out live on maschine, changing up through my scenes and muting groups as I go (to kill drums etc). I record all the live output as an internal sample and store this on a free pad in a spare group. This pad now stores the entire track laid out exactly how I want it. I save this as a sound.
The only snag with this is that I don't seem to be able to export this sound for playback outside of Maschine (when I try and open the .wav file up in Itunes it is just 2 minutes of silence.?!.).
To get around this I can open a new project (load in the saved sound) and play the sound out until it ends in scene 1 (you really have to push out the pattern length to record in a 3 minute track- but it works....) I can then export the scene out of Maschine no problems as a .wav file and play it in Itunes/burn to disc... etc etc
Have I been trying to reinvent the wheel? Are there any better/simpler ways of doing this without using an external DAW if possible??
Cheers
Mike

I've never tried it that way before but...
after you record your take as a sample, set it to oneshot, and put a note for that sample in your pattern at the start of the pattern
go to the export audio menu, export the scene and choose "sounds" so it will export the sounds out of that group, it should export your new sample as whatever you named the sound.
OR
you could just find the sample in your user sample folder ;) It should be in "recordings" in your Maschine user folder.

Thanks for your advice saintjoe. This simplifies things a bit. Cheers! Should hopefully get round to uploading some beats over next few weeks...

I have used maschine two ways, one as a plugin mainly doing my drums and the occasional samples, while all my other instruments are in my DAW, ableton, or logic. it wasnt the most flexible as far as changes and I was never able to get program changes to work in logic, so I took to exporting each scene and arranging as a wav inside my daw. I like this as it allowed me to rearrange arrangements I hadnt thought of while workin in maschine. And it even worked in reaper when ableton and logic werent available to me. I realize this doesnt get to the heart of your question but offers an alternative way to get by with an accessible DAW
Peace

I just picked up wiretap studio to snag samples off the web and such and I've also used that to record maschine stuff as it plays back. definitely not optimal or ideal but it works if you just wanna record some bits

I haven't figured out any other way than to record the audio inside of ableton. I'm thinking it would be a bit more flexible inside of protools, but ableton was pretty easy to setup. I guess it just matters whether you want to mix and edit multiple tracks
