Lynda.com recently teamed up with JK Swopes a.k.a Saint Joe of MaschineTutorials.com and SoundsandGear.com to bring forth a new series of Lynda.com Maschine tutorials entitled “Up and Running with Maschine 2 with JK Swopes“.

I love that Lynda.com went to the source for their Maschine Tutorial series. Saint Joe is indeed one of the most knowledgeable guys on planet earth about Maschine. Saint Joe has become a trusted source for not only Maschine knowledge but he is one of the most revered sources for all things beat making in the beat making community overall. Need drums and a briefing on the level of dope, there is St. Joe with BoomandBap.com. Looking for a review and good honest advice on a new product for beat making, there is Saint Joe with SoundsandGear.com. Need to know how to route midi in Maschine or otherwise, there is Saint Joe with MaschineTutorials.com. Well… I think you get the picture. My man is everywhere for all the right reasons.

The course runs a bit longer than two hours and in classic Lynda fashion the course is cut up into topical segments which allows for easy consumption and online streaming. According to Saint Joe from the video itself…

Next, we’ll look at how to properly set up your external instruments and effects, as well as what you’ll need to know to be able to create your own patterns quickly. I’ll also cover how to sample and edit external audio data, how to use effects and automation, and I’ll finish by showing you how to Save and Export your projects for sharing and backup.
