Hi Ricky, I'm trying to do this with my Apogee Symphony Desktop, but I don't want to do something wrong and blow my speakers and ears out while creating a feedback loop. Do you know if the process is somewhat the same in Apogee's Control 2 software?

I have a cheap Focusrite Scarlett Solo with no loopback and I use Voicemeeter Banana, which is free and awesome.

Alternatively you can just hook up any smartphone via stereo jack to your audio interface and sample from there. No tricky audio routing.

I'm actually surprised how little is known within the average sampling/ MPC head about the ridiculous capabilities of Ableton with Push 2. It's really the best a hybrid workflow has to offer .

Its blowing my mind.. you can fairly easily take your old school workflow and use it with Push 2 without much hassle. Sure there's a little time to learn it but for the most part its amazing. Mine does do some funky things sometimes and i do need to dig for specific settings but its set and forget :)

I grabbed ableton when it first came out and updated over the years but never really clicked for me. Been on the Newer MPC’s but found too many things I didn’t like. Grabbed a push 2 and then wow, no learning curve and a seemless workflow with Ableton. Push 2 is awesome and plenty of used like new machines on the market.

if you don't have loopback, you can use a sampler chrome extension and record audio from the browser that way.

I am using Loopback to split commentary and game sounds to HDMI audio channels 3, 5 and 6 to record them seperatly with an Atomos Ninja V, while keeping a mix of everything for twitch streams on channel 1+2. So source A (microphone) is going to channel 1, 2 and 3, source B (computer audio, e.g. a game) is going to channel 1, 2, 5 and 6 … while other sources like an iTunes or Quicktime playback is routed to channel 7+8. Not sure wether Blackhole can address the 8 HDMI audio channels like that seperately - if it does, it looks like I need a Master´s degree to set it up 😏 So even though loopback can be a pain in the butt and often requires a Mac restart to work properly, it's a keeper, for now.

I've been using blackhole. Until I found this video and realized I could do loopback (actually had to change cards... silly ID44 doesn't have loopback). The drawback to blackhole is that is requires you to change your Mac sound output device, and also change your Ableton input device every time you want to sample. Workflow stifled. For me it would be worth it to get a new sound card just to streamline the workflow. Loopback!

yo, i've been looking at push controllers for a while and this video sold me. the flow looks great and the screens are awesome on this thing. cheers for the upload.

Looks like some fun at Ricky's house!

This was the explanation I needed, coming from the MPC 2500. Helpful, thanks!

You just helped me see the joy in sampling. I sold the MPC Live as it was not clicking. The Push 2 on the other hand. Whoa! I've got work to do in terms of learning the craft but I am excited now! Thank you. (So far Loopback by RA is working, I bought it years ago when I was podcasting)

Awesome video🤟🏻 can’t wait to see you rockin the MPC LIVE II🙌🏻

thank you bro! I have an abandoned push 2 in my little-used closet and this video will bring it to life!! keep on!

Great vid. I love my Push2. Just adding to the all the loopback comments: For any of you Arturia Audiofuse interface owners out there, they have a loopback feature that works perfectly. I use it all the time with no issues.

At times I'm working on music and I'll have a movie or episode of something playing in the background. I'll hear something that resonates with my music and I do this. Really cool way to create new sounds.

Another great video as always! A note: Rogue Amoeba Loopback is the Soundflower replacement. Soundflower doesnt work anymore as far as i know. Loopback is even better though. I love it. Use it all the time. Chrome to ableton, ableton to quicktime. Ableton to syphon recorder. My itunes library to ableton. Well worth the price. Its like the digital mixer of the computer. And what happens is that I have stopped downloading files that much. I just sample them. And man that is a huge difference. Its fast and very efficient. That being said I still buy the music on bandcamp and have paid streaming service to support the artists.

Good looking out. Thanks for the Simpler to Drum Rack workflow tip. Looking forward to the MPC Live II review.

Really great vid, can't wait to try this out! Thank you for the great walkthrough. subbed!

I just bought a push 2 and am moving from FL to ableton. This was super helpful dude. Thank you so much!

This was exactly what I needed! Thanks homie.

Ricky, great video! I’ve got the Clarett 4Pre Thunderbolt version and it also has Loopback. I agree that Focusrite should consider bringing this feature back in the USB-C Claretts.

I utilize this method with UAD Apollo virtual tracks (MacOS). If you go to Audio Midi Setup, click the configure speaker in the bottom right corner and select your desired virtual outputs all your system audio, not necessarily your "DAW" audio, will flow throw console. At this point you can select the virtual track as an input in your daw. I hope I got that right ;)

I’ve been debating on getting a Push 2. I love Ableton and thought that controller would be great for hip hop (especially with Serato Sample). Thanks for sending this bro. 🙏🏾

To sample Spotify/youtube or anything you hear. 1) in windows right click the sound icon on the task bar. 2) select sounds 3) select recording 4) select “what you hear” then set as default. 1) In ableton temporarily set driver type to mme/directx instead of asio In (session view) select an audio track. Select record enable (the square red button on the track) 2) on the track, in the monitor section select off. Above that box change it from 1 to ½, it turns it to stereo. That’s it. It will now record any youtube vid or any music you play perfectly. When your ready to record play a youtube vid. You should see the rec meter moving but greyed out. That’s good just click the circle on a clip slot in the audio track and it will record and activate when its working and your happy right click on the audio tracks title and select save as default audio track Any problems and you might have to select an alternative audio out device in the abelton audio prefs. Or give me a comment

I Love the loopback feature, its one reason i pick a 4pre Thunderbolt last month.

Love to see a live looping workflow for Push 2.

Google recently decided to end our relationship and then after clearing out my subscriptions they let me back in. So I'm re subbing and you're the best and that's all.

Late to the party, I just pulled the trigger on a Push 2 and I knew I’d seen this video some time ago so I came here looking for it. Thanks. After browsing through your videos it ocurred to me you might not be getting enough sunlight, though. I hope your studio has a window 😉

you are such a nice guy really enjoy to see your videos, thanks for sharing your knowledge. You are a very reasonable person, you value and use what is worth to be valued independently if it is classic, vintage or new, analog or digital, sampler or whats not, novation or others, hardware or software. And you bought the MPC live2? Looking forward to see jams with it :)

Really love that Ep

Cool video Ricky. I've had variable results with sampling from YT. Best workflow I've found is to use one of the "free" YT rip sites to just grab the entire audio stream as an MP3. Then import the audio into my DAW for chopping up. YMMV.

Also check Rogue Amoeba's Audio Hijack! It has the same loopback feature allowing you to record anything your computer's playing

Super thankful fo your videos, keep up the good work!

Boom, some gear I actually own!

I was using VB audio virtual cable a lot, it works kinda similar to any loopback feature but you don't need any devices for it and it's totally free

Push2 + Serato Sample = 🔥❤🧠💥

Hey, that`s an interesting approach of recording into Ableton. I usually watch/listen something on my phone in KZread, and if I hear something interesting I just plug it`s headphone output to audiocard inputs and sample some stuff into Ableton. Sometimes (when I`m lazy) I even use iPad+audiocard+Beatmaker3 and sample everything into Beatmaker. Works just fine :) Moreover, as I became a happy owner of MPC One I started to sample stuff into MPC. So many options, hard to choose one...

Thanks for all the great content Ricky. An off topic question here... Since you are one knowledgeable person when it comes to gear I wanted to ask you: what you would recommend for an analog mixer (don't need automated faders) with direct outputs and that I can use along with an Apollo X8. I basically want to be able to jam with my synths/drum machines/ samplers and be able to record it at any time.

I use the Loopback app the same way, works great!

Reaper has a loopback feature built in, you can select it as a soundcard, that´s how i am doing it now. Used to do the headphone to split trs, but the reaper way lets you stay in the digital domain. You can have ableton running in reaper via rewirr

I use loop back all the time!! The internal routing possibilities are endless. Many possibilities

Abelton and Push 2 are the way to go...

Pretty cool tip enjoy watching that.

i’m seriously considering ditching FL studio and learning Ableton through a Push 2

I love learning new things about my Push man. Really reminds me how great of an investment it was.

This is indeed the coolest way to use Push 2 in my opinion. One thing I'm planning on trying with Push 2 and Live 11 is setting up Live to follow the tempo of the incoming sound before I sample it. If it works then I'll always have beat accurate samples which makes some of the slicing modes easier to work with. It also satisfies my compulsive tendencies :D

Loopback. The Motu interfaces have this. Of course there is like blackhole, soundflower and the rogueamoeba stuff. I like the interface handling it. With Motu, you have to be careful about feedback loops. You need to turn on monitoring but turn down gain or mute without disabling input. If you record everything coming out of your computer and you are listening to everything coming out of your computer = feedback loop. The Motu exhibits this as flange but I've heard like straight-up mic type squeal with some apps, ouch. I have a pair of inputs set to loopback all the time for this kind of thing. :)

Smoothest content to video sponsor in KZread history.

Hang on if you’re using a laptop you can use the headphones out of the laptop to play Windows stuff I.e KZread, Spotify etc and plug it into the audio interface using any 2 spare inputs. Of course use a 4 or 8 input audio interface. You won’t have any feedback loop and it’s pretty simple to set up

Wow you got one of the newer mpcs, that is cool. Lots of cool features on there, not sure if you would like it over your 4000 but I hope so. I hope you explore the autosampler feature in a future video.

Dope idea!!

Very nice. I love all my desktop boxes for what they are,,, but Nothing beats AbLive large screen(s) and Push 2 basically for anything you need ie: library access, analog, sequencers, sampling, wavetable, effects, you name it, not to mention- speed....In my opinion.

Just FYI, Focusrite’s Loopback works flawlessly on Scarlett 3rd gen models (USB-C) in MacOS Catalina and Bigsur. I have an 18i20, but I’ve tried it in the smaller models and works great. I do resampling within Pro Tools and Logic, it even works within the MPC 2 software

Good stuff. Would you ever play live with just ableton live, laptop and push 2?

You can do the routing computer audio thing with the virtual channels of UAD interfaces on a mac without loopback or soundflower, which I'm not really a fan of either one. Or it works with with Dante or AVB. Anything that has virtual channels or channel paths that don't have to be tied to physical I/O. You could even use physical outputs and inputs if you don't mind a DA/AD roundtrip. Or maybe you've got spidf I/O you're not using and avoid the converters. There's usually a way to do this on any interface, is my point.

Sick. Would love to see you try the Live 2 sometime.

on pc. on the actual windows audio settings select the mic input to "what you hear" then on ableton live, select any audio track inputs to 3/4 it will then record any youtube vid. but as the guy says turn the audio monitor to off on the track to record. you can then hear crystal clearly what your recording as you record it. this is based on my set up which has an old audigy sound card in it. same with reason. just select 3/4 at the very top where the audio inputs are and inputs 3/4 on the audio track

Push 2 is a great controller... probably the best controller to software combination out there !

If you happen to have a Digitakt you could accomplish this using the USB record option with Overbridge. Haven't tested on Mac Big Sur since the new update to M1 chip compatibility, but should work. Everything else works just haven't tested USB in. Also Blackhole is also an option

Awesome video. Is this loopback function possible on Push 1 ?

great video! does this also work with push 1? btw i use soundflower on my older macbook (pre catalina) on newer OS there is blackhole.

Dopeee you think this would work on the OG Push?

Very cool, although I feel like a big part of sampling - maybe the biggest - is to ‘prep’ the sample for chopping by getting it synced up with the beat - which means finding its BPM before then warping it and micro adjusting the individual warp markers etc. Is that something that can be accomplished on the Push?

@ricky. If someone was looking to get into the more live performance side of music (Beginner level) as apposed to standard mixing with a controller. What equipment would you direct them to.

loopback and sampling works fine for me in Cubase, but haven't found a way to get it running in Ableton Live yet. great video :)

check ginger audio. cheaper, more control, still being developed. Just route all app sources you want to the same input channel. Btw definately save that that empty sample channelstrip as a preset and map that strip to a keyboard or midi shortcut. Or save it as a default audio track. So every time you create a new audiotrack its ready to sample. 👍🏻

I created a loop back on my Audient ID44 using my optical in and output. If you don't need your optical connections you could use them for a loopback

Hardware LoopBack is the hardest thing I've ever run across patching-wise. I happen to have a Steinberg UR-22c-which is only 2 channel i/O-this could be disastrous if I ever use a live mic and the studio monitors- Anyway-thanks, Ricky.

Question: I have a Push 1 gathering dust that I impulse bought for myself a long time ago… can I get something like this going with the older Push?

I've been using Voicemeeter Banana for this. I can route all audio output as input from the software.

I ordered a 2i2(still waiting for it) apparently it doesnt have the loopback built in. Can i just use a cable to sort this out ? Sick video btw, i also have ableton and push2, cant wait to try this out when i get the 2i2(assuming it can work with acable)

I had this playing in the background and thought it was Jason Segel talking

This is totally my workflow in logic

I used to use Soundflower but my 3rd gen Scarlett 18i20 has loopback. I think all the 3rd gen Scarletts have it.

I just run two audio interfaces on my PC. One for music making, one for everything else. All I do is run an output from one interface to the other and now I've got PC audio I can route to whatever I want.

JACK connection kit in Linux allows sending audio internally from different applications. Bitwig in Linux uses JACK. I've sampled youtube on my Linux system to Bitwig and Audacity. I wonder how to do this process on Windows, since I use that system more.

i have studio monitors connected to push 2, but hear no sound, only through speakers on imac. Can you tell me if there is a setting i need to adjust in software of abelton?

Anyone know what he means in his disclaimor, Do we need another cable to connect the push 2 or is it for the focusrite, I have a 8i6 Scarlett

URs Steinberg I think have the loopback feature.

I use Saffire pro 40. God bless loopback!

I just use either my iPhone or iPad headphone out to input standard audio strip. Much easier than loopback.

soundflower works great for this

My Apollo twin has a virtual input that is just capturing any audio that’s playing through the system. Works the same way. I’m going to hypothesize that all universal audio devices have this.

Can you pad slice on the fly as the audio is coming in ?
