Dark jam with the Ableton Push 3 Standalone (live performance)

A live synthesizer jam performed entirely on the Ableton Push 3 Standalone, recorded to a stereo audio out.
I'm hoping to play some more live shows this year, and that means I want to create another live set. I thought that if I were creating a new live set, I might as well create a bunch of new songs at the same time. And if I were creating new songs, I might as well try a completely different style/genre of music.
So here's my first attempt. The Push 3 Standalone is still the best choice for me, in terms of making a live set. It has its limitations and foibles for performance, but in terms of sheer number of tracks and effects, in terms of sequencing length and arrangement, and in terms of reducing the mental juggling necessary during a set, the Push 3 works well for me.
Many of the tracks were bounced down to audio, to increase the number of elements in the song. I may also eventually add a stereo effects loop with the Zen Delay, but that's for a future video. For now, I'm happy with this template, and looking forward to creating more like it.
Thanks for listening.
Ableton Push 3 Standalone - all sounds and effects and such
Many in-the-box sounds used as well, notably Tympo from Teletone Audio, which was used for the drum sounds
Recorded and performed live to a stereo channel, with EQ, compression, and limiting on the master.

Yes, killer track! I’d love more Push 3 centric videos!
Fantastic had just about everything, drama, tension and great sounds. Nice one.
Absolutely amazing 😊
Really enjoy everything in this jam 🤩 (the drum groove with all the ghost notes, the big distorted industrial sounds, the pads, the arp, the structure, the live tweaks... Well I think you got it 😄)
Beautiful. Amazing. So Dark. So Light. Thanks for taking us through the singularity of a black hole and into a new dimension!
What is this sorcery? This was a great track with a really unique sound (unless this is a whole genre that I've missed). I think you achieved your goal in creating something dark, yet danceable.
Great track, love the bit where it breaks down and the bass line comes clear around 3:45.
Badass. Nice dark jam. The bass and drums are killer. All around great composition.
really great live performance
Very very good track. Make me think about Archive, back in the days…
Thanks for this! I've been struggling for a while with my music. I can't creatively draw the song out in arrangement..now with macros for effects on master and scenes set up I can perform/write the track in one go. Cheers!
This is ridiculously good mate.
Crushed it. Thanks for the inspiration.
My mind is doing all different sorts of things after listening too that, but in a good way, nice job Jay!!❤🤘🤘
Noice. Can see this over the closing credits of a Bond film.
Totally rad stuff - absolutely love how you breakdown the gear while playing your tracks
Wow!!! Loved every bit! Great sound!
Awesome job Jay.....gotta love those drums!
this is so good Jay!!!! love everything about it! Dark and juicy
Another gem Jay. Much love to you!!!
Can't stop listening to this. Always so inspiring!
This is unbelievable! 😍
Slammin' Track! Love all your stuff!!
That was so sick
Great track, love this vibe.
Yes sir! Amazing set brother.
That sounds wicked mate, put that on your next album pls
Absolutely perfect track, man. Loved every second of it! Currently rocking the push 3 as well and this is very inspiring.
Brilliant!
I'd buy that record, I find some of your tracks really inspiring.
This is - yet another - Super Filmic piece , so emotive and raw , .... I Love It ❤
this is so good man
I love the Blade Runner vibe from this jam !
Playing some catch-up here. Just fantastic. I'm looking at that Push 3....

The tension building at the 4-min. mark is nuts, my friend. Bravo.
Great stuff.
Don’t Look Up vibe. “Hope (put any nation here) love their children too…” (c)
My god, you're cool...
Great track! If you liked setting up the macros for a live set, you should take a look at the Akai Force. It's more customizable than the push and you can setup the fader and macro knobs any way you want.

Had one for a while. Really enjoyed the macros and fader, yeah. And thanks!
After using a clips-and-arranger workflow, nothing else really seems worthwhile. It's just so much easier to get stuff done that way...
Woof! 😮💨
Yeah🎉
Well done Jay. Amazing amount of planning and deligence. Is the the new Push 3 groove box performance king? or Production rig for Ableton Live 11/12 ITB? Respect to all you do. Thanks, Stephanie

I don't find working in standalone all that much fun, so it's less a groovebox for me and more a way to build complex setups, remove the computer, and perform with only a piece of hardware. But there's nothing else for me that can make a full set of songs in one place as well. And thanks!
Tympo, eh? I’ll have to check that out. I kinda wanna try putting vocals to this tune somehow. Enjoy Vocals.
Awesome! and your verdict, if you can use just one machine between Oct and Push3, which one could be your choice?

For single songs, and maybe full sets if I can get clever enough: the Octatrack. The Octatrack is my favourite hardware ever, period. But for full sets, for now: the Push 3.
Amazing as always! How do you like the mpe pads? I just got back into ableton after years away and I am eyeing push 3.

They're good, but I'm not a huge fan of most of the stock synths, so I don't end up using the pads as much as I'd like. Maybe I'll aim to do more playing on the next track!

@@JayHosking thanks for the feedback. I bought arturia pigments that I think is compatible and so far it has been pretty nice. More modern than all my old komplete synths from years ago. I haven’t been using the ableton synths but I am sure I am missing out on some.
What’s more fun to use for a performance. Push 3 vs Octatrack mkii?
Great work mine arrives this week...controller mode though (I'll just hide the laptop discretely 😅..I was thinking about documenting my journey...what camera do u use? I also don't want my voice or fsce to feature...what editing program do you use to have the writing appear like that? Cheers Jay

Any camera will do, and with good natural lighting, even a phone is awesome. These days I'm using the Sony A7IV. For video editing, I use a free piece of software called Davinci Resolve. All the best on your journey!

Agree with Jay's response, any camera - will do, but a good stand helps to get an over the shoulder or top down view. I've just started using DaVinci Resolve - it's an amazing piece of software for free, I found starting off with iMovie has helped get my head round the editing basics first though. Good luck and have fun!👍

Great call on the stand,@@retlasd. I use a very heavy mic stand with a boom arm, but there are other great options, too.
