I've said this elsewhere, I am really impressed that Ableton chose a sustainable path for Push 3 in a consumerist world where we are expected to throw away perfectly good technology all in the name of repeating revenue. What a win for everyone.
So this is basically the best of Roli Blocks, Ableton & an MPC. NICE! Very interested in seeing what native instruments is going to do this year with their hardware as well.
My Push 2 died like 2 years ago, and I've been in sorrow ever since. Finally managed to put together money for a new one around christmas, but used the money on presents for my family instead.

@@drkastenbrot I could ofc, but I really want the new features like MPE etc. Those pads seems crazy. And later I'll upgrade it to standalone 👌 Plus Push 2 had a LOT of updates over the years, Push 3 will get the same. So for me it's an easy buy, cost aside ofc 😄
It's cool, I have a Push 2 and I don't really feel like it's obsolete here at all. But there are a few features that I would definitely enjoy having, and the interface functionality is a major wishlist item, if I were still schlepping Push to live gigs that would save me a TON of time.
yeah, the new prices mean the old Push won't be obsolete anytime soon. , £400 Push 2, £879 Push 3 controller, £1669 Push 3 standalone, Plus there are some niffty single board Ryzen computers on the market which could very easily be moded to turn a push 2 into a standalone ;0)
@@AudioCheck12 same here, Push 1 & 2 and a couple of LaunchPad pro's including the latest. My guess is there'll be an MPE version of the LaunchPad pro, which already has some standalone features.
Akai fans have been saying this about the Live, One and X for....a decade now. I hope so too but...dunno. Apparently it's not so easy on a smaller system?
It astonishes me how in-depth you always go in describing the features of the devices you show us. It always feels like you explored everything and read the manual from page to page. Especially with the more Weird Gear!™️
i never have or wil understand why anyone wants a standalone push, it doesnt make any sense, jsut the same as machine, when companies listen to 0,000001% of users this shit comes out eating all the precious recources for something thats not needed and only a downgrade.
I know this isn't what the video is about, but I love it whenever you touch a bass. 👍 I always find your lines very effective. Got the Oblivion's one on my mind quite often since I first heard it!
As always Andrew, another superb upload. This though.. this is an absolute game changer, being able to replace processor, battery and hard drive as technology improves... there's nothing else like it, and give it a truly bright future !!!
One of the best musicians on TH-cam. Great writing, ability to explain to the point with very little fluff, and really showing what one person is capable of. Cheers to many more years, Andrew!
Proper breakdown! As always the production quality here is next level. I think it has to be said that the upgrade kit feature is a game changer. This is huge.. and will possibly make this device future proof for a long time to come. Im sure that they will add some sort of arrangement view eventually and more bells and whistles over the next year. This is a very strong entry into the standalone market.
Man I know very little about Ableton and mainly just play on my baby grand, but this has inspired me to dive into the production/electronic world. The upgradability is fantastic for future proofing! So hype to purchase this, thanks Andrew 🙏
@@someonewhobitthedust9124 lmao short-term elation versus life-long creation…I’ll definitely take the latter. thanks! this will be sick for live performance too
Your production quality both in terms of music and film is very crisp. Also, I'm a large fan of your 4 producers series and you've genuinely inspired me to improve my music so thanks for that!
You're a phenomenal artist. Across all mediums. I very much appreciate the editting when explaining features, ie a clip rolls showing you doing x or y, as you're narrating. Curt, and trim. Love it. As far as the device goes. MPE seems to be on the rise(!). Thanks for your time Stay like that man. Luv from the pnw
Push 3 looks like a great upgrade compared to Push 2. It looks like the standalone version isn't fully standalone yet, but hopefully they'll add the arranger and other missing features soon. I've been using a Force instead since it's truly standalone and has great Linux compatibility, but Push 3 has some amazing features I'd love to use.
Wow! Amazing review Andrew. I'm a Logic User but I will be getting A Push 3. The fact that you can upgrade the unit hardware and specs is a game changer for standalone beat machines. Ableton really cares about its users.... I may have to try Ableton again.
Very cool but I wonder if you could deep dive into the specs of the audio interface because for 2000 dollars I could buy an Apollo twin and a nice midi controller
I knew you were gonna be putting one of these out first. Ableton did the dam thang with this. Roland and Akai among others are all going to be playing catch up now. Upgradable components? What?!!!
Great for performers, not so much for producers and people who primarily use arranging to create their tracks… MPE looks great, as well as the jog wheel. Hopefully the jog wheel is on its own daughter board, instead of soldered directly to the main board… so it can easily be replaced, as we all know, rotary encoders will need replacing…. I wish they would add a new mode for the pitch bend strip and allow it to act as the cross fader as well…
Interestingly most people perform with arrangement because you can have backing tracks running while you add as many different things as you want and can have cues happen exactly when you want without having to press a button or set up follow actions. So this is really an idea generator/production tool
the Live II is clearing its throat in the corner. between the Live, M+, the new SPD, and now this things are looking great for portable/powerful machines
@@ToyKeeper it’s just too new. We‘ll see how it develops. Think about the Force when it released and how basic it was and what it has become now. Except for missing song mode the P3 is way more capable already
Considering that it took a long time after Push 2 came out It's a product that's a bit disappointing A lot of users were looking forward to it Unfortunately, there is no support for Arrange Mode And If it's standalone, I think I need a touch screen and a bigger screen One of the advantages of a standalone instrument is a workflow that increases concentration in limited situations, but I think it's okay to increase the size of the screen for a more advanced midi work method What's better than brother and rival Akai Force is that it's easier to carry around And the advantage is that there's more RAM and you can use MPE and Ableton Stock instruments But aside from that It's a lot more expensive than Akai Force that came out 4 years ago Akai Force has been updating its OS for years Implemented many features such as Arrange mode, disk streaming (not perfect because sample loading is excluded...), Ableton control, and links...

Hell fucking Yes - so pumped for a stand alone mode and interface for my live performance setup! Don’t want a computer on stage and am so hyped for this option!
How do you reckon you're going to tackle playing a set? I'm thinking about this route, but it seems like you'd have to arrange a bunch of songs in one project and launch them as clips or something, it sounds tricky
Just as I was looking to buy a Push 2. This came in right on time. Now I can get a Push 1 for even cheaper! Edit: Just saw the price of these, I'm probably just buying an Octatrak before getting this.
Honestly if you already have Ableton and you're just looking for a controller, you probably don't need to drop $2000 on the newest thing. Ableton itself has more features than most people will ever use, and it sounds like even the Push 3 is still a few steps away from being fully standalone considering it lacks access to the arranger mode. I grabbed a mint Push 1 for $300 and it has everything I need.
Thanks for the amazing video! The unit looks utterly stunning, there’s no doubt about that… and I will probably upgrade to it from 2 (but I won’t bother with the SA version) my only point of confusion is why everyone is so concerned about being standalone. I don’t get what’s so bad about working with computers ! 😄 why are they fixating on stepping away from it? It’s a bloody great resource! I also don’t get why are ableton selling themselves short when it comes to their music production presentation. They need to get it in them that people are proud of using it as a DAW and are getting great results from it. I’m wishing for more serious DAW features and an Ableton Push “Studio” next where the unit serves the production side not the performance side 🙏🏼
I'd say focus on the instrument is a pretty big one. When working on a laptop, there's all sorts of distractions. Also to some it feels good to step away from the computer after spending the whole working day on it. So basically you have a unit that is 100% dedicated to music making.
@@adrianstoger9352 that’s 100% true for some people bro and I agree with you that it does affect some of us. My issue is that they ONLY focus on that problem and remedy it while there are other things that need to be battled too do you know what I mean ? So what I’m saying is, you solved the former issue with Push 3 so it’s time to sort the latter issues for studio based folk with “Push Studio” .
The barrier to entry at a "convenience" level is pretty high these days. I find every youtuber just increases my standards for my setup, which is their job I guess, but man it feels bad to look at my Launchpad and know that There is something better out there that costs 10x the cost I spent, and gives me 100x the convenience of my current setup. and is 1000x out of my budget.
@@critical3337 I doubt anything is 100X more convenient, dude. Impossible. Also, the hardware on this thing is older generation which to me seems a bit cynical. I bet the Launchpad works pretty well? Not yet used one.
Looks great Andrew, but for me it looks also like too much of a good thing. I'll stick to my Push 2 for now and keep my life 'simple'. Literally stick because the rubber coating is sticky AF. 😂
For what it's worth, I managed to "unstick" my Push 1 following this tutorial: th-cam.com/video/plAMk8nOXko/w-d-xo.html (with a different product though, not sure exactly which one. Acetone if I recall correctly)
Damn, this is just insane. I was planning on getting a Launchpad Pro to use as a standalone sequencer for my modular stuff, and owning a Push II I love the interface, but not the setup - this is incredible. I can’t afford one at the moment, but I’ll keep an eye out.
I literally got ride of my Akai MPC because of the lack of arrangement view... The MPE is somewhat tempting and the UI improvements are nice. But, overall I don't think, for me, that this is really a big enough improvement to tempt me from the Push 2.
Great video. Thank you. After seeing this I think I’m sticking with my AKAI force, especially since all the current updates. It also works as a great controller and round robin w my ableton projects. Plus the fun factor for live performance. Idk. The push 3 looks cool but missing some features I’m used to on my force and at half the price. 😊
Being able to use Note and Session mode at the same time - above all other features - is for me the biggest and best. It’s the reason I am upgrading to the tethered version.
Kind of video I REALLY like. I good overview without and lot of DEEP DIVES. That comes later as you get more experience with the device. This was an excellent introduction for someone brand new to the PUSH eco-system. Wish more YTers would do these, initially, instead of showing 3 different ways to do the same thing and adding midi gear etc. One step at a time! Much obliged.
GR8 overview Andrew... you should be able-to have an audio record buffer to go with the midi listening ,that you could set the recording time to say up to 40 mins like BESKPOKE DAW or 404 mk2......would have liked to have seen more Eurorack stuff setup being controlled by the Push 3. .....ps shaker game 100
I can’t find any battery specs, but the Intel CPU, 8GB DDR4 memory and 256GB NVMe m.2 SSD are worth £200 retail incl. tax. There must be a lot of secret sauce included that Ableton thinks they can charge £879 for the upgrade kit. Or chutzpah: To state that “Using parts that aren’t from Ableton could be hazardous, and will void your warranty” will likely not stand up in court: PC manufacturers tried that decades OK and had to accept defeat.
My main gripe with the Push2 was that the 'Fixed Length' button just flashes on/off when it's engaged, so you can't tell at a glance if it's on or off while doing other things. And it's still the same 😢. Why couldn't they just turn it red when on like the Automate button below it
Super sick. Amazing as always. Thanks so much for the video. You are part of the reason I have all kinds of electronic instruments choking my man space :)

Considering that it took a long time after Push 2 came out
It's a product that's a bit disappointing
A lot of users were looking forward to it
Unfortunately, there is no support for Arrange Mode
And If it's standalone, I think I need a touch screen and a bigger screen
One of the advantages of a standalone instrument is a workflow that increases concentration in limited situations,
but I think it's okay to increase the size of the screen for a more advanced midi work method
What's better than brother and rival Akai Force is that it's easier to carry around
And the advantage is that there's more RAM and you can use MPE and Ableton Stock instruments
But aside from that
It's a lot more expensive than Akai Force that came out 4 years ago
Akai Force has been updating its OS for years
Implemented many features such as Arrange mode, disk streaming (not perfect because sample loading is excluded...),
Ableton control, and links...
It has become a very different instrument from when it first appeared.
It's going to take some time

The best way to describe this is an amalgamation. They really listened to all of our ideas and said f** it add 100 more buttons
The design alone is just so pretty, regardless of all the great features
As someone that JUST dove into Ableton and Push 2, I'm excited and bummed.... I wish they had said more about it online.

Damn, this is just insane. I was planning on getting a Launchpad Pro to use as a standalone sequencer for my modular stuff, and owning a Push II I love the interface, but not the setup - this is incredible. I can’t afford one at the moment, but I’ll keep an eye out.
Just when I was about to drop cash on a maschine+, this drops. Decisions Decisions.
I literally got ride of my Akai MPC because of the lack of arrangement view... The MPE is somewhat tempting and the UI improvements are nice. But, overall I don't think, for me, that this is really a big enough improvement to tempt me from the Push 2.
Great video. Thank you. After seeing this I think I’m sticking with my AKAI force, especially since all the current updates. It also works as a great controller and round robin w my ableton projects. Plus the fun factor for live performance. Idk. The push 3 looks cool but missing some features I’m used to on my force and at half the price. 😊
Force is a beast for sure. I ordered this to try it out
I'm just after purchasing the force (used) and hopefully it's on par with this push 3 generally
Wow. With ADAT?? Damn, I need to learn more about the audio interface. This might be a big game-changer. From someone who still loves Push 1 🤙🤙🔥
the standalone is great... sure. But my happiness came in the form of Push FINALLY HAVING A GODDAMN MIDI IN AND OUT BUILT IN!!!!!
They took note and avoided all NI Maschine + mistakes
Everyone talking about the Push 3 while I'm just here grooving to "Standalone recording jam" at 6:18
10 seconds in and I know I want one.
This would give my live performances *so* much more depth and fullness.
Being able to use Note and Session mode at the same time - above all other features - is for me the biggest and best. It’s the reason I am upgrading to the tethered version.
6:16 please tell me you're releasing this 🖤
Kind of video I REALLY like. I good overview without and lot of DEEP DIVES. That comes later as you get more experience with the device. This was an excellent introduction for someone brand new to the PUSH eco-system. Wish more YTers would do these, initially, instead of showing 3 different ways to do the same thing and adding midi gear etc. One step at a time! Much obliged.
GR8 overview Andrew... you should be able-to have an audio record buffer to go with the midi listening ,that you could set the recording time to say up to 40 mins like BESKPOKE DAW or 404 mk2......would have liked to have seen more Eurorack stuff setup being controlled by the Push 3.
.....ps shaker game 100
Yooo that bass tone though!! *chef kiss*
Ableton is incredible!!! Amazing!!! I am so excited with push 3!!!
20 years?! You mean to tell me you've been using Ableton for almost as long as I've been alive?! Christ. A true master at work here.
It’s like ableton in a box !!!
Andrew, Excellent job ! video is very well done
Now that’s a Push promo my guy
Happily tutorial’d!
Instant purchase but I gotta wait 8 weeks!! Can’t wait to mess n express!
Still using found sound and bein a goof. I love it.
I just bought a push 2 a couple months ago. If i hadnt gotten it for super cheap used, i would hate life rn.
cool update to push 3.
I can’t find any battery specs, but the Intel CPU, 8GB DDR4 memory and 256GB NVMe m.2 SSD are worth £200 retail incl. tax. There must be a lot of secret sauce included that Ableton thinks they can charge £879 for the upgrade kit.
Or chutzpah: To state that “Using parts that aren’t from Ableton could be hazardous, and will void your warranty” will likely not stand up in court: PC manufacturers tried that decades OK and had to accept defeat.
Excellent vid, nailed it.
My main gripe with the Push2 was that the 'Fixed Length' button just flashes on/off when it's engaged, so you can't tell at a glance if it's on or off while doing other things. And it's still the same 😢. Why couldn't they just turn it red when on like the Automate button below it
Super sick. Amazing as always. Thanks so much for the video. You are part of the reason I have all kinds of electronic instruments choking my man space :)
This does actually look fire
I just got an apc key 25 the other day so I'm using ableton for the first time, crazy timing to see this
fantastically demoed. good shit bro
Great move from Ableton, I just wish them great performance stamina for this device - as nobody would allow stutter for live
Haven't heard of this one. Is that a known issue?
Damnit. I need to buy this now.
I can see the Max device community going nuts for this. Being able to download Max fx/instruments to the Push could be huge driver for Max innovation
Beautiful demonstration
I love the eggplant shaker. I must have one. :D 😄
