Hey man, long time since this was posted but I am considering getting the Push 2 and i wondered if you could answer a couple of amateur questions for me. 1. Does it have to be connected to Ableton and if so does it need to be the fully paid licensed ableton? 2. I want use this primarily to create a live element to my DJ sets - do you think this is a good tool?

I'm gonna get one towards the end of this year , I watched Demetrius loizos and the short track he maid was incredibly. I have been playing guitar almost 2 year I'm 63 yrs and have all day.

Bro, this is the Push 2 video I’ve been looking for, for like 4 years! Thanks!!

Thank you so much for the compliment, truly means the world. I'm glad to help :)

Last week I was just curious about the Push, didn’t even know what it was, decided to look it up. Saw a few vids then I saw this video. Super intrigued. Once all of the pads combined to turn into 1 snare head my mind was absolutely freaking blown. The next day I had a Push 2 in my hands😂. Today I finally actually played it and I can honestly say I’ve never felt so much joy and freedom using any musical device/instrument before.

Hands-down the best Push 2 tutorial out there. I've seen them all. Excellent work, sir.

Wow! Just moved to ableton live 11 from Logic Pro two days ago. Was extremely intimidated by the process. I'm a singer songwriter and I do live streaming on twitch, showcasing originals that I've produced. (I'm not a professional producer, am definitely taught). Anyway, found a new (used) push 2 and I can't tell you how informative I found your video. Not just informative but CLEAR to understand too. I've subscribed and will be watching your ableton tutorial. I'm inspired. Thanks!

Great video Meta Mind 👍🙌 your tutorial helped to influence my decision to get the Push 2 now. I can't wait for the Push 3 😂

Thanks for this, it helps a lot. 👍

The best explanation on how to use this sound machine that I have come across on YT. Thanks.

"Finally we have browse menu, next we have the browse menu" 😄 Na, just teasin'. I know this is two years old, but I really felt like I wasn't getting enough out of my Push 2, and sure enough, I wasn't! This is great to learn things like holding down the quantize button for more controls. I've gone from my templates having "input quantize" on to using this! Thanks for the hard work!

I have been using Ableton Suite version before Push, and I'm currently on 11. To me Push is just an advance Midi Controller for Ableton Live. We are in the age of an onboard sound processing machines. I'm thinking of investing on SP404 SX or Electron Analog samplers to route out my sound to have that analog feel. These companies must design machines/midi with onboard effects processing.

@metamindmusicofficial

2 жыл бұрын

Yep 100% push 2 is just a midi controller when you boil it down, however, it's really advanced (since much of Ableton is MIDI controllable). What do you feel is the big discerning difference between onboard processing and using Ableton/plugins for effects? I'd love to hear your thoughts I personally use it for the ease of workflow and being more hands-on, plus it's a really unique instrument in its own right!

Had the push 1 for a bit. Really want the 2

Cool video. Question: why do some synths or piano tracks sound so quiet or quieter on lower octaves…and some synths have a volume parameter and others don’t? Is there a way to fix/ help that ?

@metamindmusicofficial

2 жыл бұрын

Thanks! I think it's the nature of having different devices/effect chains for each instrument. Some will have more low end information, some will be more velocity sensitive, some will have unique parameters you can control. If a synth doesn't have a volume control built in you could create one pretty easy by creating an instrument rack with Utility and mapping the volume control to a macro!

21:01 how do I add new midi or audio with out replacing the current one?

So, I’m new to this, should I get soMething like this Or à midi keyboard like the Arturia keylab? They keyboards seem easier?

I will likely be getting a Push I do have some hard synths. Using PC Have a small keystep. So I've looked into an Oxygen, Launchkey, and some Arturia stuff, but don't know if I will need all those options if I have a Push. I like the keystep pro for controlling hard synths and it's got 4 tracks, however maybe that just needs to be a separate setup. Should I just get a nicer 49 or so midi keyboard without all the pads and such? Considering I will have a Push? Is it redundant to have a full featured midi keyboard along side the Push Should I get a fully featured midi keyboard and hold off on the Push? Certainly want something that works good in Ableton because I'm still learning it. I'm worried about these keyboards, some say pitch wheels not accurate, some say faders are horrible and so on.... Some have endless knobs, some don't, is that a major flaw? With a regular midi keyboard and a Push, what do you do about faders? So yeah I gotta upgrade from lite to suite, but need to know where to put my money Suite first, or Suite with Push package, or wait for possible Push 3, or fully functional keyboard now and Suite? Maybe a cool hard synth keyboard that also has midi, or with that take me away from nice integration with Ableton? If i do get full function midi keyboard i can pry go up to 500 bucks, but if the ones like oxygen are good, then fine, I just don't want crummy stuff, but I'm also not a baller. Any help thanks....

What preset/sample were you on for the hand drum thing with all 64 pads triggering the same sample?

Heyo! The mode I'm in at the timestamp you shared is the 64 pad layout within node mode. I loaded a stock Ableton 64 pad drum kit, so there's samples mapped to all 64 pads. To get to 64 pay layout on the push: 1. Make sure you have a drum rack loaded on a midi channel 2. Hit the "note" button on the push 2 3. hit the "layout" button on the push 2 and toggle until you find the 64 pad layout Keep in mind if you'll only see as many pads as the number of differnt samples you have loaded within the cells of the drum rack in 64 pad mode. Hope that helps!

Can you advice please ?

GOOD vid. Hey do you know why my Push 2 would be automatically arming or soft arming really any channel I have selected? it makes it annoying to be duplicating clips from session mode. EDIT never mind it was the stupid CrossFire script from isotonik young it automatically. I just removed it from the MIDI prefs.

Anyone know how to create a MIDI "Fade Out" button for all tracks via the Push 2?

Can anyone explain to me what he means here 9:00 as much as I try I don't understand it, I mean, the distribution of the notes.

@metamindmusicofficial

2 жыл бұрын

Heyo! Let me try to clarify how the notes are laid out on the push. So when all the pads are lit up (like in the video) then you are in scale mode. This means all the pads will only represent the notes of whatever scale you have chosen. Since most scales have 7 notes here's the typical lat out you'll see: Horizontally [1] = Your root note [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [1] Vertically [7] [1] [4] [5] [6] [1] [2] [3] Every row on the push is tuned in 4ths (like the strings on a bass, or the top 4 of a guitar). Hope that helps!

I typically keep my Push2 on C Major and play my chords and melody lines in chromatic mode. Then it's like playing a piano (white keys and black keys) on. guitar neck (multiple strings tunes in 4ths). Then you can use the scale feature to learn new scales or get super experimental and trigger scale mode changed with different clips :)

Excellent tutorial, thank you. Let me send you a microfiber towel to clean your Push ;-)
