I never comment on you tube videos, but that was the best distillation of what sampling is and how it works i have ever seen. Not only did you show how great Push2 is at handling it, you ended up with a dope ass beat. Good on ya!
agreed. He shows you what it can do, which is great...but he doesn't show you HOW to do it. Someone that actually has a Push sees this instantly. Prime example is hitting the pads to record each sample. He shows you that it can do that, which again, is great....but he doesn't show you how to. So you are 1000% correct in that this tutorial is clear as mud.
Ableton finally got on board with what made original Samplers so good. Getting lost in your creation is what it's all about, and having fun! It's a different animal to the original push, and one for the better it looks like. Sampling is so enjoyable, and I always loved their sampling tools but now they've provided a really good piece of creative hardware. Great video, PB. Lovely work as always, Ski.
This is a brilliantly done tutorial. Just got my Push 2 last night and tonight starts a 3 day weekend. Here is all the inspiration needed to make it great! Thanks for this man!!
I got my Push 2 about a month ago. The first thing I did was go through separate tutorial series to learn as much as I could. I'd start one video with Ableton open and work with Push based on what the video was teaching. It made a huge difference and I wasn't just button bashing. I have an APC40 mk2 as well. They instantly mated essentially and you can control the APC with Push. I can use Apc40 to trigger clips, use push 2 to play keys and slice the incoming clips etc. Push 2 is not cheap, if you buy it, make sure you're down to learn all of it. This video is probably the greatest example of Push 2 genius ..
This is an outstanding controller, sequencer and much more. Even more outstanding demonstration and even more fantastic sample choice .. and then Beastie came in to make it really nice.
I am in the process of creating my own recording setup Ski and you've just convinced me to start with Ableton Live and this amazing device. Thnx a lot!
Truly good session! The real magic is these guys doing the same but with old sampler like MPC60 without all the tips & trick ableton provide! Mad props
I was very interested in the Push 2 prior to seeing this and after, there was no doubt in my mind, I had to have it .This video single handedly sold me on this machine .
very good video ! Very informative ! Push 2 is bringing me a lot of inspiration ! Nuff respect to Ski, I 'm a big fan of him, and loved his works with Incognito ! Respect, Peace & Music from Paris France
You are a true inspiration Ski ! Just Superb Presentation ! One of the prime reasons why I took up the online course at Point Blank and learned so much. Thank You,once again.
Easily one of your best tuts Ski. Your instructional really highlights how much Abelton has streamlined the whole production workflow. And you make it look so damn fun! Native Instruments is gonna have to hustle now, and Point Blank has a new subscriber. Bravo mate!
I have referenced this video around a dozen times in the past 4 years, and I must say, the tutorial, along with the music, is better than it has a right to be.
That actually sounds incredibly amazing for a quick tutorial. Best advertisement for Push 2 I've seen so far and it wasn't really designed as one. Samples work very well together and I really like what you did with that Herbie chord. If you ditch the Beasty Boy sample (still works well but let's face it, that rap works well on almost every instrumental and as such is used too often) you can easily make a full track out of it of your own, instead of a remix.
+Johnny Santiago The new MPC Touch looks nice but they want you to use their software like NI. Sure I can use their software as a plug-in in Ableton but its just a pain in the ass. Ableton and Push 2 is the way to go.
Tremendous stuff, Only ordered one of these bad boys on Monday, This video has really settled my nerves about such an expensive investment...... Thanks
this guy is very talented, i saw 2 videos and in both videos he created awesome trax. Obviously, also the technical part is very professional and usefull. Thanx and... keep on!!!!
finally, someone actually showing SAMPLING using push. There are so many "sampling" push videos which contain absolutely no sampling at all. Hello? The phone is still "ringing", even though it's your iphone. sampling is sampling; not sample manipulating. Unfortunately, I'm an idiot and cannot figure out how to get my selected clip column to turn red, as you have it. Guess I'll have to keep looking around for a 'getting started sampling' video.
Features are very similar and the original push is $400 cheaper. The new one definitely looks a lot nicer and it's easier to pick up and play right when you get it.
damn. i was torn between the maschine mk3 and push 2 but after seeing this i feel like it would make much more sense because of how much I love Ableton.
Now they just need to add the same functions to the Sampler. It's kinda weird now that it has less functionality than Simpler :D. P.S. Really dope video, thanks for that!
Yo man if Ableton is not sending you a check they are tripping...I swear you just sold me this piece. That set was hardbody homie !
Only herbie Hancock didn't have one of these ! ;-)
Hard body hahah
FOR SURE. That beat snapped, and quick too.
100% he is paid to promote it. He does a great job of it.
One of the best Beastie, Boogie Down, Herbie and Tears for Fears remixes I have ever heard.
there’s so many of them to choose from, how did you decide? ... hehe
Still come back to this video 5 years later. Still just as good. Ski, you are a legend mate.
Yeh man!
This beat has no business being this good.
Right. LIke usually these video have something thats like "oooh ok that kinda cool as a demo". This shit is fire though
@@robertlemiesz7143 when he had the chord with the LFO i went crazy. bro killed it
I never comment on you tube videos, but that was the best distillation of what sampling is and how it works i have ever seen. Not only did you show how great Push2 is at handling it, you ended up with a dope ass beat. Good on ya!
How's that whole commenting thing coming along for ya?
Check out accurate beats... great videography, same sort of sampling thing but he uses maschine.
That was one of the clearest tutorials I've ever seen. Cool video.
Romen Pheonixx he
No its not this is sooo bad, he doesnt even go through the steps needed to take on push 2.... this is 6/10 at best.
agreed. He shows you what it can do, which is great...but he doesn't show you HOW to do it. Someone that actually has a Push sees this instantly. Prime example is hitting the pads to record each sample. He shows you that it can do that, which again, is great....but he doesn't show you how to. So you are 1000% correct in that this tutorial is clear as mud.
This fucking tutorial is the coolest thing I've seen since Finding Dory. Lmao I'm buying this next week. Lmao I'm high as hell. But I'm sold.
SAME
SAME
yup
Same to all of it. Maschine has been sitting on the shelf and I own Ableton 9 Suite. I got no excuses. Committing now.
Can we be friends?
ain't gunna lie. The track was 🔥🔥🔥🔥
it kinda was doe loool
It's one day away from 2020 and this is still the best promo vid for the Push 2 hands down.

My gearlust is through the roof now, thx guys.
This tutorial is one of the best music tutorials i have ever seen (and i’ve watched thousands.)
Been a Logic user since the Emagic days. This guy made me buy Ableton and a Push.
Right up my alley with Beastie Boys and Herbie Hancock. Wow!
This is the best advert I've seen for the push2... It sounds pretty awesome
my smile grew more and more as this video progressed. Well done!

TNice tutorials is literally the best tutorial on TH-cam. It's right to the point, and very informative at the sa ti. Thank you so much
Amazing work Ski - and bravo for having this video ready as soon as the Push 2 and 9.5 updates were released!
This is now my favourite video on youtube. Making me so so excited and impatient
This shows the true art of sampling
love your vinyl sampling series,great for showing ppl the possibilities and creative techniques using this method.great stuff m8
I was very interested in the Push 2 prior to seeing this and after, there was no doubt in my mind, I had to have it .This video single handedly sold me on this machine .
wow, i didn't expect beastie boys at the end, this beat was heavy AF :D
very good video ! Very informative !

Wow 🤩 truly inspired! Just bought push 2 and looking forward to getting into sampling! Thank you so much!!
This guy is a bloody genius. Keep making more vids!
man when you was recording that you really showed the world how its done
You sold me - dude, Ableton owes' you some commission.
2023 and still one of the best Push tutorials out there.
Was fully convinced that I'd never upgrade from my Push one but this video just convinced me.
I have referenced this video around a dozen times in the past 4 years, and I must say, the tutorial, along with the music, is better than it has a right to be.
This is fucking awesome!

It's makes AKAI MPC and NATIVE INSTRUMENTS look like shit!!! Whoa!!! what a comeback

Word
If Push 3 has a touch screen it's fuckin OVER haha
Bitwig is generating some heat...any good??
Sounds interesting mate, will have to look into this - cheers!
HOLY MOTHER OF GOD, THIS IS STUNNING!!!!! Great work, Ski!
I can legit watch this guy make beats for hours and hours
Not a sample producer, but this was so dope! Very inspiring 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Tutorials rarely end up with beats this good - great stuff.
9 people just purchased maschine studio!! I was about to but have now ableton. Push to will follow when finished saving!
Toughh flip. Great work!
Just ordered one.
absolutely brilliant work... feverishly diggin’ through the dusty 45’s now. Much respect for the inspiration!
It all came together when the Beastie Boys acappella was added. 🔥🔥🔥
I just lost my shit. This was ridiculously amazing. I could watch this man make music all day
An Ableton Push standalone would be so dope
This sounds on par if not better than the BB, tis is fire!!
Just ordered my Push 2...This is the best video I've peeped...You're good mate!!!
the way you made the Acapella work with dropping in each element was amazing brother 🙏🏼
Wow! Cool Features on Push 2 & really cool Samples you use!
cant wait to get my hands on Ableton and Push 2 now 🙌🏼
I need this. Why am I just hearing about this now it looks magnificent.
This track is just awesome, really enjoyed such an amazing feel of musical taste!
today my bought my Push 2, one of my best days! thanx for the good info.
as always, I enjoyed every bit of it.
the 'really nice chord' was .... really nice.
That was so helpful! I just started using soft and was so overwheld!
Tremendous stuff, Only ordered one of these bad boys on Monday, This video has really settled my nerves about such an expensive investment...... Thanks
this guy is very talented, i saw 2 videos and in both videos he created awesome trax. Obviously, also the technical part is very professional and usefull. Thanx and... keep on!!!!
This device could revive the entire vinyl market
+Roger Bonner Yes!
Not when you can do the same thing from a pc for free but I get what you mean. It's more fun to sample vinyl
Very nice! Thank you!

Very useful technical knowledge plus tons of talent! Thank you, I keep falling in love with my push 2 over and over again!
This video made me buy a Push 2. Thanks a lot for posting.
Finally a demo that has good music in it! Good job!
Glad to see the positive comments
Best job in showing the awesomeness of this unit so far! Good job!
I just threw my Maschine out the window!
@@fuscazo5399 3 weeks later, whats the story now?
Same I have the mk3 and it’s either getting sold or put on the shelf. Push 2 is being ordered this month . 🗣😤
What is it the Push does here that Maschine? Curious
Wait for the Update mates
Fuscazo update is gonna be big
pretty awesome! was just looking into buying a push but could as well jump right into a push 2
Features are very similar and the original push is $400 cheaper. The new one definitely looks a lot nicer and it's easier to pick up and play right when you get it.
thanks! that might just be the right trigger to go for a push 1 as i don't need too much fancy features anyway.
Trakkit
thanks! that might just be the right trigger to go for a push 1 as i don't need too much fancy features anyway.
Excellent, very helpful. thanks.
Thanks for watching.
Best demo I ever seen about push 2! thanks, and the beat is so dope! good job!
It´s working great. Thank you so much for sharing the information
Literally the most amazing thing I've ever seen. If a bus hit me today, I'd be ok with that.
Really liked that last piece with the lfo
Thank you TH-cam recommendations
Dude, this track you just created is the nuts!! Genius, such a great demo, i'm off to get some vinyl out now and rig up my 1210 to the system.
"I like that, lets put that in"
for a school teaching about music this video has a very pour balance between voice and music.
Absolutely brilliant. Nice job, and a very nice choice of samples too !
damn. i was torn between the maschine mk3 and push 2 but after seeing this i feel like it would make much more sense because of how much I love Ableton.
Nice work
Wow wow wow. This was so cool and inspiring to watch. Thank you!!
Clear instructions, easy to follow. Great video. Sick beat as well!
Ski, please do a vinyl sampling series with Maschine MK3, too. You are the KING!!!
I want to break into the sampling world and this is super dope and makes me want to get into more
Now they just need to add the same functions to the Sampler. It's kinda weird now that it has less functionality than Simpler :D.
P.S. Really dope video, thanks for that!
Awesome video! Thanks Ski!
!!!! Great!!!! One of the best so far tutorial with push 2. Thank you. Really master
Excellent demonstration!
Very cool!!!
Cool sound. Pls make more like this.
This is the greatest thing ever
insane track! and insane workflow !!
