How To Use Push To Perform Like A Pro

Ғылым және технология

#soniclab #push #livemusic
We hooked up with Simon Stokes, our favourite Ableton Live specialist and talked through using Push Standalone to take Ableton Live studio sessions onto the stage.
For performing with an integrated setup using Push Standalone, controllers and external sound sources can work really well.
With the new MPE enabled pads, you can also add expressive playing to into the mix.
With an onboard processor running a version of Live, on board MIDI, USB and Audio interfaces, it allows you to ditch the laptop, or even re-purpose it for visuals.
Simon takes us through a strategy and setup to build your live set. Push Standalone is available now. www.ableton.com/en/shop/push/

    I love using push 3 standalone for my modular jams and I'm going to bring it to a small music fest and do a jam this weekend actually with it. I've had crashes when doing too much MIDI MPE stuff but I'm running the latest beta firmware and it's been more stable I think.

    I saw the Push 3 Standalone demo at Gearfest. I like the hardware, but less the price. I get the immediacy and the user interface. Still would struggle for me over an iOS device. I also notice that the TR-8S was more at the heart of the performance aspect (I have one of those). Don't get me wrong, I like the idea of the Push. However, just not sure I could justify the price of the hardware (upgradable or not). Nice video as always from SonicState.

    I'm about to open a ticket with Ableton, but anyone having issues with the CV Instrument? I'm using an ES-8 (Eurorack module) with a pair of ADAT cables, a Push 3 (Standalone), and an M1 Mac. The CV Instrument (latest version) is broken when switching from the Mac to Standalone mode. First, get the CV Instrument working and tuned via the Mac, then copy the project to Push, switch to Standalone, open the project. The CV Instrument loads but the sound produced is wrecked. Feels bad.

    It looks like there were couple things happening, first when switching Push from controller to standalone, the ADAT "handshake" will sometimes glitch out, and the ES-8 has to be power cycled, next, when running the CV Instrument on the stand alone, the built-in Expression controls do not seem to support Min and Max percent values, so if you have a patch that depends on limiting how much expression is applied, you'll have to use something on the hardware, finally, at least for the CV Instrument, do NOT collect all and save files from factory packs, as there would appear to be a difference between the CV Instrument that installs on the Push 3 via Packs, and the CV Instrument that installs on the Mac via Packs (the Mac version when loaded in a standalone project does not preserve pitch calibration , or something is drastically off and the notes just squeal with very high pitch). Good luck, everyone.

    Can someone recommend a USB hub with at least 8 ports to connect my other midi controllers and at least 1 external drive (with sample libraries) to both my laptop and Push 3 when in standalone. Issues I've had in the pass is that some of the controllers are not powering up. Im not sure why and if its the quality or specks of the hubs I've used in the past. Any recomendations would be great

    Quick question if the tr8s is being used as a midi controller to control the volume faders of the ableton tracks how is it possible to control the volume sounds of the real tr8s drums if u wanted to use the tr8 drum sounds? Wouldn't one fader be controlling both ableton and tr8 sounds?

    I'd be MUCH more interested in a walkthrough of how to use Push 3 for making music in standalone, not performing already made music. I'm a bedroom producer, not a live performing artist and I suspect I'm in the majority among viewers of this KZread channel.

    Push 3 is still just an extension of Live as the standalone mode is more of a sketch machine to finish in the computer and load back for live performances

    It is not difficult at all to distinguish between the two voices, so panning the your voices left and right serves no actual purpose and it also makes listening on only one earphone very annoying. I do it all the time while cleaning/walking the dog etc.

    Contrastively panning certain parts that you absolutely must have playing simultaneously in a busy mix, that are competing over the same frequency range is a MUST sometimes, this has been a thing in mixing forever. If things aren't sounding great to you while listening in mono, you are the problem.

    @@stateazure I have been working as a professional audio engineer for over a decade. Panning when it comes to mixing for clarity has nothing to do with panning two speaking voices that don't cross over each other. When you are listening on one earphone, you are not (usually) listening in mono, you are essentially listening just the left or right channel. If the voices are panned, one voice is always louder and one quieter, which is obviously bad.

    Almost as long as me, but there's no contest here and besides I've seen mixing and mastering engineers with decades of experience talking absolute bollocks. Now I don't know exactly what you're referring to precisely, if it was something in this video that I completely missed (I was distracted sometimes and didn't catch everything in the video), please point me to where this was mentioned? Regardless, my point was related only to what I said, that two competing parts that MUST be in the mix at the same time and are competing/clashing in frequencies can absolutely and should be panned, and yes is definitely helps with clarity, to say it doesn't is just absurd. I don't mean hard fully panned either, even just a little equal offset panning of each part is usually enough and has been utilised in mixing since the beginning of stereo mixing. Yes, this won't come over well when listening to MONO or one channel, the effect is the same, one part will either be too quiet compared to the other OR (if hard panned), may be missing completely...again...this is not a mixing or production problem, because we mix for stereo and all the benefits that stereo offer, nobody mixes for mono (unless that's a requirement) and certainly nobody who knows what they're doing mixes for an end user who pans to listen to music with one fucking earbud, that's ridiculous@@ejmikk
