TheDhali: In this graphic I’ve thrown two instances of the same waveform in a before after sequence. Notice where I edit the start point to be directly at the front of the transient. Scalpel! 

Edit visually by zooming in on your waveforms using the zoom button located to your bottom left of the window. (Also posted with this figure.) 

Move the cue point with your mouse to the desired location and monitor the sampled wave, edit as necessary in your mix.

TheDhali: I know Maschine is supposed to be this “never have to look at software” and “never look at screen” but it will do you ++ to your music creation to know your software like your favorite pair of jeans. I personally am much faster manipulating my software with hotkeys and mouse and using the Maschine controller for more “creative control”. I don’t believe one should try to work Maschine with just its controller. Never limit your controls. Add more. & Macro

In 1.5 NI introduced the ability to zoom on the controller, if that’s faster for you, please do what works in your instance, this is the same thing you will see on your screen as you edit from your controller.

NI Maschine is now in version 1.6

Take care and keep developing your practice.
