- I know I know, I’ve complained a lot about it. Even still the Ableton Push 3 Standalone is starting to become an all time favorite music production device for me.

thanks for checking it out!
Damn dude that beat really came together in an unexpected and dope way. Nice.
I knew I'd love the SP404 MK2 before I even got it and, when I did, I was correct. I have the same certainty about the Push 3. I'm really enjoying seeing peoples' processes on it because it's reinforcing my plan to save up. Good stuff, man.
Thanks man! And yeah it’s a really solid device, it has room to improve but I love it. How’s the Sp404 mk2 treating you? I feel like I gotta try one eventually
@@DylanParisMusic I'm definitely keeping an eye on developments as I save haha.
Honestly, man, I'm a gigging and session keyboardist and piano teacher and the SP is probably my second most used musical device behind that. Everything I do always goes through Ableton/Push 2 to finish and finalize sequencing etc., but the sounds I'm able to create with the SP are unmatched. Even when I'm running a session on Ableton, I'm using the SPs (both the SX and MK2) a lot. I think I have a unique process, but it's much more than just an effects unit. I honest play my SPs like synths, in a sense.
@@remyvegamedia that’s so cool! I appreciate you sharing what you do!
@@DylanParisMusic No doubt man. I'd be really interested to see what sorts of ideas you'd come up with using an SP in the signal chain.
Nice track Sir, love your vocals
Thank you! 🙏🙌
The fact it doesn’t include Ableton is a big L.
Yeah it has Intro but it should absolutely include Suite at 2k
Standalone should include suite, controller should include standard.
Agreed!
Thinks I want for Push 3: Visible Automation Lines, Some kind of song mode, more support for probability pack, follow actions, Some sort of Macro selection on board and a money printer.
But yeah, like someone said, the beta has a fix for the folder issue.
Good asks! Would be awesome to have, stoked the beta solves the folder problem, excited to see that come to the main update feed
Oh, forgot to mention, when I played with push 2, the most fun I had was working with only operator. Maybe that’s due to being a modular guy for years.
I currently have an op1 field ( dodging the incoming tomatoes) and its limited a lot in a fun way. I can deal with it for what I want to do with it-which is play experimental noise music at venues. Takes dedication and practice to master the tape without an undo. Lots of work around. Buuut…you got me eyeing the push3. I played the push 2 before and I was bored. So my dream is to perform live one day with one device. Albeit the most fun and capable. Choices at this moment: op1, octa ( maybe with 0 coast), or make noise black and gold. Any advice?
If you want to hear the beat first (and then watch the how-to), beat starts at 12:45
ayo i know we got in a fight on facebook. but u are an awesome youtuber and ill stay liken and watchin! keep up the great work. i got a push 3 as well and am planning on performing at some open mics with it. crazy times
Thanks homie ❤️🙏🙌 it’s all love sorry I was so cranky on the FB, never a good place for me to be haha
Thanks for the kind words and I’m glad you’re digging the push 3!
@@DylanParisMusic you're the man! keep up the great work
Pretty dope !! Im hoping i can plug a usb mic in and do the same. Mine gets here tomorrow
Heads up I’m pretty sure the USB port only works for midi and using the device with a computer but I may be wrong
I cant deny I do want to purchase it but im gonna wait to see what update hardware packs they have at the end of the year. Not being able to use VST's is a bit of a deal breaker as the packs from ableton sound lame and are made 10 years ago it seems. The battery is weak too. I really wish they had a touch screen too, imagine controlling assignable XY pads on the touchscreen.
Yeah this may not be your cup of tea honestly, not sure there's a device on the market that would do what you want right now, but maybe the akai force? or an mpc live 2 in controller mode?
@@DylanParisMusic I purchased it anyway as I wanted the mpe! I do love it but it’s a bit buggy. Seems to work after a reset (after spending a half a day installing packs) now Il have to install them all again. There are some pretty decent sounds in the pack so I’m happy
@theinfinate brutal about having to reinstall the packs, but glad you’re digging it! The MPE really is awesome
@@DylanParisMusic and the pad sensitivity is great, I love playing softer. I do wish omnisphere would update to MPE
this is really great to see, thanks for the video.
Got my eye on the P3 now and i'm really interested in the song building possibilities using external gear...record audio separately into the Push 3 (Juno6, Prophet 6, TR8S..) and use it to structure and arrange tracks. Im wondering how close I can get to not having to touch a DAW for final processing and adding flourishes. Seems the P3 could go pretty far?
How do you think it would stand up to longer tracks with more varied, intricate arrangement styles, epic 8-9min sorta stuff?
Honestly it might be a bad fit for that work as you can currently only access the UI of session mode. Hypothetically you can record into the arranger but to access what you recorded you need to be in Ableton software. So you’d be recording either 8 minute audio loops per track or sending audio to an arranger you couldn’t see
@@DylanParisMusic Yeah, it doesn't really seem to offer much beyond where i'm currently at in terms of arrangement, certainly not £1900 worth anyway. You think the Akai Force is better for song arranging at present, I know youre a fan of it.
Thanks man, appreciate your input!
Hey bro, where did you get the stand for that? thats dope
Beautiful piece at the end, finish it!! :)
Thank you!!
beat is nice
Appreciate you 🙏😎
Thanks for creating this! … so… curious… did your thoughts on the FORCE change?
I would say no! I love the force and I think it is still a really good device with a killer feature set at a wayyyyy better price than the Push 3.
@@DylanParisMusic Good point! Especially considering the additional money one would have to pay to upgrade to the most current version of Live that the Push 3 works best with… or to purchase Live altogether outright if one doesn’t on any version of it.
Very VERY Dope my friend!!🙏🏾✊🏾💚
Thank you friend! 😎🙏🙌
I'm pissed because I own a force and a push. I bought the push not knowing the standalone was coming out. Anyone wanna buy an almost never used push?
oh man, that's brutalll
Same bro! I got a push 2 and a few months later the push 3 came out. I still can’t fathom spending 2k for such a tiny screen but I am planning on getting the controller version for the MPE. And although I have an MPC x se - might consider getting a force. For portability and a link between MPC/ Ableton. Good thing you can upgrade to standalone if necessary. I was using my push 2 the other day working with my own guitar/efx samples and slicing it up via push 2 and it did make the whole process way more fun. It was also fun to sequence on the fly. The push 2 is still fun. I’m loving the sp404 MK II atm. Been loading up my own samples and having such fun with it. That’s been one of my favourite bang for bucks purchase in a long time. So good for a library of your own samples . Got some with MPC/ universal audio guitar and bass and lots of pedals/ drum machines etc. so good.
Yeaaaaah 2000 bucks ? Compare this to a MPC keyboard... How can anyone think its even comparable.
Hey man! I found your video while going down a huge rabbit hole about whether or not I should get this or the MPC live MK 2. I noticed that you have experience with both platforms. Which of the two would you recommend for an Ableton user? I produce, mix, and master exclusively in Ableton, and am looking for a little bit more flexibility.
If you use Ableton and want to continue to work in Ableton there is no choice. The Push 3 wins hands down. If you want something standalone to use by itself and then export stems out of, the MPC is a compelling option. But if you’re all in on Ableton, especially if you own suite already, I can’t see an argument for the MPC over the push 3
Awesome, man! You rock a TON. I only have live Standard, but I'm sure it's still just as compatible. You've saved me a lot of money and headache haha. I appreciate you taking time to reply! @@DylanParisMusic
I love Ableton but I’m going to stick with the FORCE. Nice beat!
The force is awesome! Thanks for watching!
I never see the complete projects from all the youtube Push 3 videos. I do see a lot of "what the Push 3 can do" videos and tinkering. For a $2k device, I would expect some fire beats and increased productivity by now. This makes me skeptical.
Speaking for myself personally, my process of making fully complete songs is months and years, not weeks. The stuff I make for this channel is usually sketch type stuff cause I work a full time job. Could be different for producers who do it full time though.
Wow, playing someone else’s samples, amazing!
Lol what
Does it have a vocal suite?
It’s similar to the Maschine Plus where you can add your own fx chains but it doesn’t have a pitch correction or harmony feature like the MPC and Force does
@@DylanParisMusic Man. Yea honestly Akai is genius for doing that. I’ve made like 4 full songs on the live 2 the past week because it literally has everything including the vocal suite. They honestly killed it with that update a year or so ago.
Agreed! They’re probably the best at updating their existing gear out of all the players in the space
@@DylanParisMusic absolutely
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
🙏😎🙌
I still say that the musical results of this machine can be incredible, but the way of working with it is very exhausting. Just seeing you constantly pressing the buttons to access the parameters and functions makes me very tired. This shouldn't be like this. Very strange... I got tired!
Yeah it definitely needs some workflow optimization! I don't think every device needs a touchscreen, but this device needs quality of life intuitive design changes for sure.
#hypocrite
#people can have nuanced opinions about things that change over time
@@DylanParisMusic true, hopefully you'll have some tutorials soon because I'm lost with the Push 3.
Once you said Splice, i stopped watching lol
Fair enough, I haven’t had a subscription in a while when they super reduced the amount of samples you get per month but dammit I’m gonna use what I got lol
lol what an ugly comment
Yea ok. Post your beats/music. Splice is amazing. Anytime I’m in a rut, I get inspiration immediately. Throw down your music though if you ain’t scurrd, wodie.
You are soooo hardcore dude. I don't use it but I encourage anyone to make music however they like. Except you, you should retire.
Dude, the Maschine + is still a turd. The Push 3 isnt perfect but it is way better than the MPC Live, Force and Maschine at launch. The akais both took about a year before they were live worthy and i dont think the M + is.
