What an awesome video! It was very inspiring to see you creating marvelous music in these stunning locations. Thank you so much for sharing!

I’ve had the Push 3 for a couple of weeks now and I freaking love it! BTW: there is an easy way to stay in the current samples folder when setting up your drum rack: just duplicate a pad and then hot swap the sample of the duplicated pad. That way you stay in the same folder as the sample that’s currently on the pad. Great video as always, by the way!

I dig the music quite a bit! That said, I’m surprised nobody else is having issues with visibility in this video. This low contrast filter and somewhat distant angle of the camera is making it a bit challenging to see what’s happening on the screen.

I've already grown pretty comfortable editing the majority of my midi with Push 2 and not even using mouse or keyboard. It actually keeps me in the zone when I do that. I edit mostly using the step sequencer and nudge/adjust what I need. This jog wheel would be really useful. I actually prefer not having a touch screen. Great video, man. I've just been watching it unfold, but it's looking like Push 3 is gonna join my collection some day.

I've been starting to work out some songs in Live with stock & M4L devices and the possibilities for guitar are absolutely mad just looking at the space effects and textures alone. Getting this level of depth and flexibility would be impossible with pedals. One big issue I'm running into is live pitch shifting for vocal pads and vocal harmonies, which my Boss VE-500 does quite well - it even accepts external midi so you can live play your pitch shifted harmonies. I'm not finding any real-time pitch shifting devices - only delays. (PitchLoop89, Pitch Hack) They accept automation/midi for semitone pitch offset, which is okay for some situations but not as intuitive by far as sending straight midi pitches. In practice this would mean I'd still have to bring my VE-500. Any suggestions for real-time pitch shifting if you have them would be greatly appreciated!

Great vid. I am disappointed with akai forces inability to allow different tempo/time signature per scene launch row. Question: Can push3 standalone do it? On force you have to wait for loading times between songs in projects, audience are not happy having to wait with silence.

Push Connect Push to your computer EUR 949 64 expressive pads Built-in audio interface Add a processor, battery and hard drive later using the Upgrade Kit Thank you for the answer and I like to follow you.

Hey, excellent video! I was wondering, and sorry if this is an obvious question, but how do you think about playing notes on the Push? Are you setting it up in the In Key mode, or you just know which notes to play naturally? I always have a hard time of intuitively playing the notes I want to on the Push, and end up playing some off-sounding notes before I figure out which of the notes sounds good in the context of the song. Do you have any advice on how to approach getting better at intuitively playing notes and chords? Thanks!!!

@Taetro

10 ай бұрын

I've been using push since version 1 and other grid instruments like launchpads as well. the default note layout is in-key, and by 4ths. I find this to be really ergonomic, and it's quite easy to play triads in a triangle formation. easy to see the 7th's from there too. Like any instrument, it takes practice to learn. I'd approach it like a traditional instrument, and practice some scales or melodies on the push. You'll get more proficient over time!

I love my Push 2 but I'll bet that the reality of the Push 3 is that you couldn't read anything on the screen while you were using it out in the open. Screens on pro audio gear, even the mobile ones, are notoriously lackluster when it comes to brightness and contrast. I have an MPC Live 2 because there wasn't a Push 3 at the time and even on that device I have to use the cover of a hardcase to protect it from too much daylight when I am using it outside.

@Taetro

10 ай бұрын

I have used Distrokid as long as ive been releasing music so that would be my recommendation. Also ideally there should be no need for customer support with your distributor - usually people blame their distributor for mistakes they've made, or issues that have to do with specific platforms. Your earnings will be relatively the same at each distributor (idk what these free models take, but probably more than paid) and to look at it realistically, if you're just starting out, the revenue isn't going to be anything meaningful until you build an audience. so my advice is, just pick a distributor with good reviews, and that people (artists you've heard of) actually use, and get some music out there
