Hello everyone! For my online courses on Ableton Live & Push, Sign up here: bit.ly/3bs3kNl

Seriously, one of the best videos I've seen regarding the push 2. Thank you.

I love your voice, this comparison was so soothing to listen to-- plus I learned a bit that a lot of other reviews didn't touch down on as much!

Same! I didn't know about the session + shift + left/right to switch by 8 on the push 1 until this video. Going to help a lot until I get a push 2.

Brilliant work. I've wanted this since the drop. Thx

Hello Andri...I just purchased push although couldnt get it on amazon..bought from Ableton..Needed free shipping..I will be on your vids as soon as i get it!

As a Komplete user I was looking to maybe get a Maschine Jam... BUT sense the pads aren't velocity sensitive I really don't think I'd like it. That leaves me with getting a Launchpad Pro or a Ableton Push 1 for around $150-200. I mainly want to use it as an isomorphic instrument and possibly do some step sequencing. :-/ Ugh...

what conga drum rack are you using ?! Sounds wonderful!

thx so much - very helpful to make up my choice ... :-)

would you recommend push 2 over 1 for Techno? any difference between both?

Holy shit. I knew I was interested in upgrading to Push 2, but now that I've seen them side by side like this... DAMN. This is such a massively functional upgrade. No question now... I'm sold. Time to see if I can get more than $240 for my Push 1!

and what is so amazing in push 2 ? bright grid, color display that doubles info from laptop screen & tracks color coding ? seriously worth the pain ? i am running now for mint push1 for 245$ ;) which was 400 before push-2

man im so torn, ive been wanting a push for ages and i never owned one.... being a musician that doesn't make money from music the price point has always been quite high.... now the push 1 has gone down considerably for a used one but the push 2 seems like such a superior device im so torn as to which one i should get... the push 2 used is still too far out of my budget but i feel like if i buy the push 1 i'll just be buying a soon to be paperweight. :(

Nah man. I’ve been using the push one for years and it’s always been awesome for me. I had so few completes that this is the first time I even bothered to look into what’s improved in the push 2. And that’s just cause I got some covid money to throw around. And honestly I’m not even sold I’ll probably just stick with push 1

@Rooftopaccessorizer

I feel you. I dont think the push 1 will be a paperweight anytime soon, but the screen and its native ableton integration makes it seem so much more worth saving up for. That said you could theoretically get the same experience buying an ipad and the Touchable app for less than a push 1, so its hard to justify the 600

I have both and I can honestly say the only real advantage of the push 2 is the updated screen, all of the functionality & ease of workflow is attainable on the push 1. i find it a lot simpler and straight to the point. the only downside is the push 2 obviously has the better screen

Great Content... Thaxs

when i opened with a sales dude at Guitar Center (somewhere in California) the VERY first boxes of Push 2 there were horrendous quality control issues, buttons depressing to different depths, etc. I am informed this was immediately put right in the subsequent batch. I am NOT talking about pads, rather the other buttons. Guitar Center were nice to open box as they know I'll run the upgrade for 30% through Ableton. Anyhoo... I was still, as were GC personnel, disappointed at the 'hardness' of the pads on 2 as I'd been led to believe they were massively softer. I'm committed to the platform though and will be getting II. Better, sure. Massively better, no. Interested to hear from other upgrade users on there feelings about old pads vs. new and the degree of different feel...so, Hollah! Regardless of your views, please keep it civil.

Just the video I needed to see. Local sale of a used Push 1 for $300 was drawing my attention, but now I see that the Push 2 is well worth saving a little longer. Thank you, Andri.

I have question is ; push always needs connections with Live for working or just connect instrument without Live ?

Is it "Native Instruments Maschine Mk3 Drum Controller" better than "Ableton Push 2" ? Or it has anything to do? Can you use Ableton with Native hardware .. ?

Why did they add a stop clip button to Push 2? It just adds more work: now have to use two hands instead of one to stop a track.

I have the Maschine Studio, but switched to Ableton a few months ago. Now, a friend asked me, if i want to buy his Push 1 for 180 euros. I don't know what to do. Should I buy it? Should I sell my Maschine Studio and by the Push 2 instead? It depends on the possibilities to integrate the Machine Studio into the Ableton workflow. These do not seem so extensive to me. Please help..

what did you end up doing?

I recently switched from Push 1 to Push 2. Here are some of the reasons why I believe it was worth it: - The pads in Push 2 are much much better. Incredibly responsive, it´s much easier to control the velocity output of the pads. The pads in Push 1 are quite difficult to control. - The opportunity to work with samples in Push 2. If you like to control, slice and crop samples outside the software, this feature alone is pretty much worth the upgrade. - The amazing (and larger) display. Plus, everything is color coded based on the track colors. You can even color code individual drum pads. - Due to the color coding possibilities in Push 2, the workflow is much more efficient. It´s a lot easier to know which track you are currently working in. You feel much more in control of the hardware. I almost never feel the need to revert back to the software. Push 2 is that intuitive and versatile. Whereas with Push 1, it´s a lot more difficult to navigate between tracks, devices etc. So with Push 1, I tended to revert back to the software quite a lot. With that being said, Push 1 is still amazing. But I think Push 2 is everything that Push 1 wanted to become, even though they share 90% of the features.

chriscauldermusic hi Chris - I’ll be honest, I’ve not looked into this - but what I think is the case is that yes you can play different slices using slicing mode in simpler using push, but it’s not easy to change and edit those slices directly from push. I’m running out just now but I remember this tutorial talks a bit about it and suggests a workaround, but it’s still quite a lot of work - kzread.info/dash/bejne/pWmVvNmNZZaqmtI.html My sincere recommendation is that if you’re really into sampling and sample slicing would be to consider getting push 2, you won’t regret the investment in the long term.

chriscauldermusic ah ok - makes sense - I think if I was mixing and matching push 1 and 2 I would put push 1 on drum rack duty to have a constantly available drum machine available. That said, the problem with multiple pushes (last time I checked) is that they always follow focus on the same track as selected in ableton - meaning the only combination that makes any sense is one in instrument/drum note mode and the other in session mode (as they then stay in those modes). I would be over the moon if we’d get an update to fix that issue but as it stands it seems distant. And thank you! Much appreciated. I’d love to do more - for years now - but as always time is my enemy 😅 Good luck in the meantime Chris!

I'm guessing you made your own mind up by now :) My answer then and now would be; it all depends. I think Push2 will stand the test of time better as the screen is far more capable in giving detailed feedback (like with the echo device and wavetable devices)

the push 2 is far more versatile now had the original for awhile and let me tell you, the push 2 just includes everything you wished you had in the original traded mine in and no regrets, everything the old one did plus more! the pads are much nicer, softer and is far more responsive
