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)

BoBeats: Ableton' own Push 2 tutorials are really good, covering most of the stuff this machine is capable of.

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!

I've worked in Pro Tool, Logic and Cubase and they're all fine DAW's. Ableton never felt like just a DAW though, it feels like an instrument. Its personal preference but I find the workflow far more creatively inspiring than any other DAW that I've tried.

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

With Push, once you get the memory muscle you will miss it when you use Live separately. Amazing and robust piece of kit. Its got a real satisfying weight to it, and the workflow is good.

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.

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 love push 2. The best part is converting the parts you play to a sampler instrument and replaying to get different variations

welcome aboard.. can't wait to see how u use the sequencer in the ableton push 2.. awesome!

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

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.

Ableton Live + Push 2 is an amazing hybrid workflow as long as you understand that Push 2 was not designed to control Ableton fully stand alone.

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.

Ableton is so straight forward that once you start figuring things out you'll feel like an idiot. I loved the video!

Break out a wireless mouse in tandem with push for the best experience. I love live/push2 because there are so many DIFFERENT ways to make music🎶 Try building a drum rack with max4live drum instruments and adding effect (chains) to individual pads. Simpler is powerful and wavetable is badass. Even with the steep learning curve, the results are worth it. Have fun!

I enjoyed seeing someone not familiar with Ableton fumble around. Makes me want to get a push even more.

Welcome to my world, Reason, Ableton and Push!

My advice would be: just keep using the Push a lot. I think as time goes by, it'll start to make a lot of sense intuitively. I like what I'm hearing so far at least :D

Great channel bro 👍

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. Anyway thank you and keep up the good work!

I got a shiver over that screen protector peel.

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.

Ableton Suite because i also use Push2 beneath a lot of other external Gear. Btw the Wavetable synth in Ableton 10 is absolutely awesome.

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.

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...

Watching after ordering one.😁

Bo’s ability to figure it out is amazin

good on you man..diving into Ableton. 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. ;) cheers from Portugal

Good video Bo I like ableton it has allot of great tools and on board synths.

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.

was using logic until the last logic X update that stopped supporting my 2008 Mac Pro, so jumped ship to Ableton Live and then i bought push 2 a few weeks back, very happy with Live, i have a huge modular set-up so CV-tools and expert sleepers ES-3 works like a charm.

Nice music, buddy!

Welcome to the rabbit hole!

Ableton with the Push 2 and the newest Reason update......WOW!!! I always had trouble getting the Push to control the Reason rack with Rewire. Now with the new update, Push 2 controls Reason instantly.

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!

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

I really don't see much of an advantage of Push 2 over the Novation Launchpads, but to each their own I guess!

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!

I didn't understand much of it but I enjoyed the video! :)

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.

Ahhh... being a long time FL Studio user, with the love I have for it, I think it lacks a bit on hardware MIDI support. Although it seems that the situation is changing with the release of AKAI Fire controller, but it definitely is not something as usable as the Push. But I'm hoping for the best, Image Line is doing an incredible job improving FL Studio. Although, I'd like to try such hardware as the Push, someday... Nice job!

Bitwig is my weapon of choice too. Seems to be so raw and in my eyes they are the most innovative. But I understand lots of people use Ableton because of the controller support. 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.

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?

@BoBeats: Would you be interested in using a raspberrypi to make the push2 gain some basic Midi-Controller functionality without ableton?

The MK3 is a million times brighter, with bigger, more colorful screens, even just usb-powered... I don't like the squishy feel of the Push 2's function buttons... like, at all. They seem slow or laggy. I don't know. I'm more of a Reaper 5 / Maschine guy and have been for at least the past 7 years, but Ableton is growing on me.... I just think the Launchpad Pro covers most of what I need Ableton for (clip-launching, drum grid, etc)... and the Launchpad X is tremendous, for both Ableton and generic midi controller map use.... might sell my Push 2 once my payments are complete... or I might hang onto it. I don't know... I just... I feel like it's overkill, and overpriced. Maschine MK3 on the other hand... no. The browser / tags / sound library... it is absolutely top-notch, and that's not even including all the extra sounds you get like Komplete Select and stuff... the kits are infinitely better-sounding than all of the stock Ableton drum kits, and it's just insanely fast to find exactly the sound you want... unlike Ableton with Push 2. I think the MK3 even offers all this external midi hardware mapping stuff, in the more recent updates... where's Ableton's 3rd party support? Ya know?

Yeah i feel you... push is a cool interface for ableton, but Maschine is a perfectly tuned instrument!!

If you want to control your favourite VST,s with Ableton Push and browse presets, tweak parameters without mousing but only using Push take a look here: www.lovelight.biz or join the FB group here: facebook.com/AbletonPushVstRacks/

Welcome to pushlive com-Bo :-) you can use push with shove and transform it into a midi controller for,your,favorite daw. Recommend it. Live and reason go so well together too. You’ll love them I’m sure. Enjoy!!!

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

Ah! Yeah I googled and there seems to have been alot of issues for people regarding this. Funny enough this video was shot mostly with a third party cable so I am glad it just happened to work
