In reality this is a much preferred method to recording direct to Maschine because you are using a much better audio editor than the one built in to Maschine, however, any digital information that exists inside your computer, if it be audio already on your computer, audio from the internet, or audio playing from a dvd or movie or whatever should always be ripped rather than recorded, it is much better to work with the original recording than a recording of a recording, even things you think that cant be ripped can be ripped using something like Assniffer (Cockos) but i would personally suggest you avoid stream from You tube or anything else that uses heavy audio compression.

However if you are recording something from the net, then you will find it wont record in to Maschine itself (The record master will be in WDM, Maschine will want ASIO or WASAPI, this is not really a bad thing anyway, record first in to an application like Wavosaur (Best free audio editor on Windows, developed slowly but actually by musicians and great developers, check out their oldschool rave plugin too hahaha) then edit and save your samples for use in Maschine) Facebook Live: How to Broadcast from your Computer. That's why I've been using Fuzz Measure and ARTA (with Wine, as it is a Windows app). I've never found out why exactly, and, quite frankly, I've given up on Java apps. To configure REW for this objective, you need to turn off the main speakers (either by carefully disconnecting their cables, or by turning off your separate power amp, if you use one). And that COULD be related to Java, as it is a Java app.

But I've had occasional trouble with REW too. You don't really need a virtual audio cable to do any of this if you have a built in soundcard like a realtek HD or so on, you just go to mixer and change the record source to master, this will record whatever is playing out of the master channel of the built in interface, quite a lot (Most in fact) of add on audio interfaces offer the same built in functionality too. You shouldn't need Soundflower or Line In.
