      Hey Bo, I use ableton because it was the first daw I understanded. Haven't tryed Cubase yet but I think I'm fine with ableton, I love it, the workflow, the effectchains, the grouping function with Makros, the max4live tools

      I just traded my Push 2 in when I got the MODX6 last week. As much fun and as productive as it was, I just didn't use it that often; overall I'm much happier on keys than pads. I don't really like the raw Live workflows anymore either, I've settled on Cubase for my main DAW, Cubasis on iPad, and Reason for goofing around. (I have, or have tried others)

      I use Logic, mainly because its easy but I have been falling in love with StudioOne by Presonus because it looks a lot more modern and has a nice step sequencer and chord options. I also use Ableton Live Lite for laying down quick ideas using the clips.

    The push has many capabilities that are great for Ableton which allows easy flow for any music producer. Ableton is life changing when you delve into it. It's so easier to drag and drop effects and to sound design in it. Keep up the amazing work! I hope you keep using Ableton!

      You said it perfectly. Live is for making music. You can record tracks like other DAWs but it is much more of an instrument. I don't think it's the best choice for tracking a rock band. I would use reaper for that, but you could use live for anything

    I think Ableton is incredible. It's not just a random choice by a lot of music makers. The company is focused and never stop improving. On another note, I made holes all over my desk for cables. It's so much better now. Ok the surface of the desk looks strange but the cables are totally out of the way. I am going to build a new desktop with holes everywhere that actually look good. The way we work we don't care about holes everywhere unless we need to write in paper but who does that anymore. I use an old iPad for note taking and memos. Great video, as usual.

      Perry Pelican has Push changed how you compose for the better? What do you think are the advantages of it vs other devices - for example I have an APC 40 and keyboard controllers and they feel “good enough”. But I do get the sense there’s some nice advantages to Push. It’s just always hard to justify a Push vs buying a new Synth at similar price point.

  • @paulheartsongs
    @paulheartsongs 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Mainly using Ableton and Cubase. Have had both Push 1 and 2 but sold them both. As a singer and guitarist I like Ableton because I work live and it seems to lend itself more easily to live gigs. For basic on/off and song selection I use the Softstep 2. Ableton plays some recorded backing tracks as well as soft instruments. If I’m not playing guitar I’ll run external instruments via MIDI as well. It’s all good!
    Thanks for your great channel!!

    I've had my Push 2 since Spring 2016 and one of the things that made it come alive for me was adjusting the pads to be more sensitive. Try 8 - 6 - 7 for the values. I spent months arriving there, so figured I'd share.
    I switched from Cubase to Ableton in 2006 or so, never looked back once. Now that I have the Push as well? Pssh! I love having such a simple setup that can do so much. Have fun, Bo. :)

    So regarding playing back scenes in session mode on push, when you switch your controller to session view you may notice that the note repeat subdivision buttons to the right of your pads illuminate green. Those are now play buttons correspond to each scene, displayed as a horizontal line on the grid. Hope that helps

    @maxxrosen 4 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    I've been trying to like Live for about a year and there are so many things to like about it (including the Push 2). But in the end I've gone back to Reaper because 1) MPE and PolyAT is not easily supported in Live and it works seamlessly in Reaper and 2) customization: Reaper is so flexible it can be daunting, but you can make it conform to you rather than the other way around. One thing I started leveraging heavily in Live is the Instrument Rack and I'm not yet sure how to pull that off in Reaper.

  • @JohnBillington

    So glad you made this video - Thank You! I’m a long time Ableton user but never invested in push because I prefer keyboard interfaces and it always seemed like a tool for producers who want to make beats and not for musicians. I learned a lot about the workflow advantages of Push vs the screen UX and would love to hear from other Push users whether it provides some creative flow enhancements or is it mostly about speed and efficiency gains? Perhaps those two are related...
    Regarding the video - the Ableton Product mangers will get a long list of UX challenges from it. As an Ableton user there were a bunch of times I wanted to explain how It worked to you even though I’ve never touched a Push. It clearly helps to understand the Ableton workflow and data model (egTrack vs Device vs Scene vs Clip). For new users to the platform all of that has a steep learning curve.

    I use FL Studio, which kind of universally feels like the "other" DAW. We can do just about anything in FL Studio, but it's going to be a weird journey through some audio theory to get there. Take sidechaining for instance. Other DAWs, you can look up a tutorial and have yourself a sidechain 5 minutes after learning what that is. In FL Studio, there's 3 ways I know of to do it. I personally prefer putting a peak controller on whatever I want to punch through and then use the output from the peak controller to automatically turn down a volume insert on whatever I want to "compress". I don't really "get" how to route audio to two different inputs on a compressor to make sidechain compression happen normally, so I use that workaround instead.
    FL Studio is like that, but for EVERYTHING. Sends, returns, and busses? You can make those yourself. Live performance (the only genuine letdown I've ever had in FL Studio)? You can program that yourself, if you're willing to put in the time. Drum programming? We've got at least 4 ways to do that, depending on what mood you're in. Now that I know most of this stuff, I shudder at the thought of starting from scratch in a new DAW. And yet, if I want a really good live performance setup or MPE support, that is what I have to do. So the only things I'd consider leaving FL Studio for now are Ableton and/or Bitwig. I really want to wait and see if either Ableton or FL are going to add MPE support so I can avoid at least one extra DAW, but I know that Ableton Live literally has Live in the name for a reason, so I'll probably end up with it eventually.

    • @Waynecito
      @Waynecito 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      I made the switch from FL studio to ableton couple years ago... Was frustrating in the beginning but I'm happy I switched. Feels like its easier to be more creative with ableton for me and you will never believe why. There are even more ways to do same things than in FL studio. Super confusing in the beginning but for me in the end it feels more open to own creativity...

  •  4 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    I got used to my push 2 very quickly, it's actually not that difficult. Maybe 30-60min of just playing around without any tutorials or manuals, and I'm no pro in Ableton Live either. Just clicking stuff that's on the screen. Very soon I started changing individual drums as well. I think you'll master it very quickly. The only thing that let me down (besides the screen brightness off-power, which cannot be compared to NI products) is the touch-strip, which sometimes works well and sometimes not so much. It may depend on the finger position horizontally, but I haven't figured that out.

    To stop a clip: just press a white pad on the same row (same track).
    To adjust the parameters of a single drum sound: press the second (or third, which depends on whether you turn on the 'show device' button of the drum rack) button above the screen, which display the drum sample's name.

    I'm writing this before I watch the video and I'm very interested to see how this goes for you. I've been a Reason power user since 5 and didn't really start seriously making music in Live until version 9 came out. While I'm good in both programs I'd say Reason is my quick sketch pad DAW to Live, which just feels much more streamlined in a "let's get to work" DAW manner. I feel I can write a good track in either, but I think I have more fun writing tracks in Reason. Because it's a beautiful mess with and endless library of great sounds and synths. Live is a beautiful mess in a totally different way in that I'm not the biggest fan of it's sounds or some of it's layout and workflow choices, but things logically just make sense (sometimes to a fault). At the end of the day it shouldn't matter where you make music. The best place to make music is the software you enjoy making music the most in and that works for your creative style.
    Alright, time to watch the video and see how this lil experiment went.

    Logic Pro X because a friend of mine always used it in his bedroom studio setup and chilling there all the time I got to know the workflow and so when I built my own studio it was a no-brainer for me. I think it'a a very intuitive DAW especially for artists and home recording musicians who don't go into the technical side of things too deep. Also for beginners in music production and such. And I absolutely love it!!! 🙌
    Off topic, will there be a MakeN0ise 0-Coast video at some point? I know this won't be helping your gas 😂 but I guess you know about it, it's s been out for some time now. It's a really interesting synth and it would be dope to see you use it and hear your thoughts and experience.

    A few months ago i decided to the same myself, coming from Logic.
    I sort of secretly wished for you to do it, as the reason i did was exactly the same as you talked about here -> a LOT of ppl are using it...so it will be easier to learn watching tutorials and asking for help.
    i like the clip approach, in session view... and being able to arrange your song in real time, while recording...by launching the clips you want.
    i’ve just ordered the Maschine Jam, actually, so it will be my controller.
    Live Looping and Clip arranging, those are the main reasons i got into Ableton.
    If Push 2 was standalone, like Force, i would have got it.
    thanks for the video,
    it’s nice to see you sharing your learning process.
    you’ll get up to speed in no time, with help from the community. ;)

I am just lucky that I own Nektar MIDI equipment, which is in turn designed for Bitwig. Glad to see someone liking it too. I wondered where the people were! Also if you like Push 2 so much, and Bitwig, there is a good script from Moss for the push controller. I heard some good things about controlling Bitwig with the Push.

    Welcome to the world of the push 2, so glad you got one, its a fantastic machine if you learn it, i have had mine for almost a year, and i have only scratched the surface with it, but done some great tracks though. that aside, you are in for a hell of a learning curve, but if you persist its well worth the effort, i strongly suggest you go to Ableton where you can learn all the super things the push 2 can do, in my opinion, it walks all over the machine Mk iii, talking about native instruments, i have the machine jam sat next to the ableton push 2, and they work in complete harmony together,( get the pun?) if you did not here the answer COMPLETE. the reason the machine jam is in the mix is it makes it easy to control all the levels and effects on my tracks, and see the session without having to switch the push 2, to session mode. i also added a midi controller the nectar 49 impact LX49+
    however i was not aware the the push would work with other DAWS? tell me more....
    it was great to see a learner, that's what i was like when i got mine.
    have fun.
    regards
    Russell

    With session view you got to press the buttons again and after the 4 bars they will stop or you can press the timing (1/4 notes etc)
    buttons on the right which apply to each scene is on the same line 😁 hope that helps. Happy Abletoning!

    To echo some others - maxing out (pun at least a lil bit intended) on the stock plugins is a really helpful means of developing familiarity with the Push interface and what's possible with mapping etc and some of the way that things are structured in Ableton-land. For instance when you were wanting to edit the settings for just the one drum etc you were just a button push away :) Have fun with it! The bite-size Push instructional vids on the Ableton youtube channel might be really helpful depending on how you like to learn.
    I wanted to ask what the (I assume?) interface was that was connected to your MacBook? Looked really neat!

    When I'm recording, I use Reaper. it's really flexible and has a solid, intuitive workflow. I use Ableton Live 10 as an instrument/sketchpad when I travel, and I also use it when I'm flipping a sample. Honestly, Ableton is so powerful and so flexible it's hard to not find it inspiring. Definitely a learning curve when you're coming from a more traditional DAW!
    I never really "got" the Push though. It just seems like too much money for a bunch of macros and MIDI control. Does it really add $800 worth of control when you're using it, or does a Launchpad suffice?

    I've always been put off by the look of Ableton , but I've decided to give it another look, live lite 10 is actually very usable, I can see me buying a dedicated controller and upgrading, but I'll always still use cubase pro , I suppose it depends on what you need in a daw and what kind of music you want to produce... I'm getting into electronic music so maybe that's why I see the value in trying Ableton, right... Let's see what you thought... Run VT.... 👍

    HI, can someone help me out please? Im pretty confused with so much gear out there. I have a drumbrute and now im considering a synth like a minibrute 2 or a launchpad like this ableton push 2. My idea is to make some beats and sounds for recording and then play my guitar as another track on top. Also make a loop and switch to guitar for example.
    Any tips??? Thanks in advance!!

      BoBeats I tried to use the controller with another cable and push was misbehaving even with the psu connected. The other cable in question was that from the push 1. Even now sometimes I have to restart it but keep in mind we’re taking about a 10 year old Mac so it’s become very sensitive

    I am a Maschine user that switched to Abelton with the intent to sell my MK3.... HOWEVER, though I love Abelton and the push 2, I can’t seem to let my MK3 go. Which is odd because owning both is redundant!! Love them both and neither or push cancel each other out. I mean while the MK3 works with Live it doesn’t match the DAW integration of live. However, when it comes to quickly banging out some drums, nothing beats(pun intended) the MK3. So for now I have them both!!

    The push2 and ableton is as much an instrument as it is a daw with a dedicated control surface. I can do more on the fly with push 2 than i can with maschine, possibly down to how long i have been a push user, i love both but spend way more time creating and performing with push.
