Ableton Push 2: Sampling from Vinyl 

Yo man if Ableton is not sending you a check they are tripping...I swear you just sold me this piece. That set was hardbody homie !

One of the best Beastie, Boogie Down, Herbie and Tears for Fears remixes I have ever heard.

Still come back to this video 5 years later. Still just as good. Ski, you are a legend mate.

This beat has no business being this good.

This fucking tutorial is the coolest thing I've seen since Finding Dory. Lmao I'm buying this next week. Lmao I'm high as hell. But I'm sold.

I never comment on you tube videos, but that was the best distillation of what sampling is and how it works i have ever seen. Not only did you show how great Push2 is at handling it, you ended up with a dope ass beat. Good on ya!

Ableton finally got on board with what made original Samplers so good. Getting lost in your creation is what it's all about, and having fun! It's a different animal to the original push, and one for the better it looks like. Sampling is so enjoyable, and I always loved their sampling tools but now they've provided a really good piece of creative hardware. Great video, PB. Lovely work as always, Ski.

This is a brilliantly done tutorial. Just got my Push 2 last night and tonight starts a 3 day weekend. Here is all the inspiration needed to make it great! Thanks for this man!!

That was one of the clearest tutorials I've ever seen. Cool video.

Amazing work Ski - and bravo for having this video ready as soon as the Push 2 and 9.5 updates were released!

love your vinyl sampling series,great for showing ppl the possibilities and creative techniques using this method.great stuff m8

Easily one of your best tuts Ski. Your instructional really highlights how much Abelton has streamlined the whole production workflow. And you make it look so damn fun! Native Instruments is gonna have to hustle now, and Point Blank has a new subscriber. Bravo mate!

This is an outstanding controller, sequencer and much more. Even more outstanding demonstration and even more fantastic sample choice .. and then Beastie came in to make it really nice.

You are a true inspiration Ski ! Just Superb Presentation ! One of the prime reasons why I took up the online course at Point Blank and learned so much. Thank You,once again.

HOLY MOTHER OF GOD, THIS IS STUNNING!!!!! Great work, Ski!

ain't gunna lie. The track was 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Truly good session! The real magic is these guys doing the same but with old sampler like MPC60 without all the tips & trick ableton provide! Mad props

my smile grew more and more as this video progressed. Well done!

TNice tutorials is literally the best tutorial on RU-vid. It's right to the point, and very informative at the sa ti. Thank you so much

It's one day away from 2020 and this is still the best promo vid for the Push 2 hands down.

very good video ! Very informative ! Push 2 is bringing me a lot of inspiration ! Nuff respect to Ski, I 'm a big fan of him, and loved his works with Incognito ! Respect, Peace & Music from Paris France

This tutorial is one of the best music tutorials i have ever seen (and i’ve watched thousands.)

Very useful technical knowledge plus tons of talent! Thank you, I keep falling in love with my push 2 over and over again!

Best job in showing the awesomeness of this unit so far! Good job!

Absolutely brilliant. Nice job, and a very nice choice of samples too !

Right up my alley with Beastie Boys and Herbie Hancock. Wow!

I am in the process of creating my own recording setup Ski and you've just convinced me to start with Ableton Live and this amazing device. Thnx a lot!

This track is just awesome, really enjoyed such an amazing feel of musical taste!

the way you made the Acapella work with dropping in each element was amazing brother 🙏🏼

Wow 🤩 truly inspired! Just bought push 2 and looking forward to getting into sampling! Thank you so much!!

Wow! Cool Features on Push 2 & really cool Samples you use!

That actually sounds incredibly amazing for a quick tutorial. Best advertisement for Push 2 I've seen so far and it wasn't really designed as one. Samples work very well together and I really like what you did with that Herbie chord. If you ditch the Beasty Boy sample (still works well but let's face it, that rap works well on almost every instrumental and as such is used too often) you can easily make a full track out of it of your own, instead of a remix.

This is the best advert I've seen for the push2... It sounds pretty awesome

Clear instructions, easy to follow. Great video. Sick beat as well!

Just ordered my Push 2...This is the best video I've peeped...You're good mate!!!

I was very interested in the Push 2 prior to seeing this and after, there was no doubt in my mind, I had to have it .This video single handedly sold me on this machine .

Best demo I ever seen about push 2! thanks, and the beat is so dope! good job!

That was so much fun and super helpful, thank you Ski!

Ski, you keep inspiring us with all your vids! This one I've watched several times now! :)))

Now I get why I would need a Push 2. I think I'm ready to pull the trigger on it. Brilliant demo!

Literally incredible Ski!!

Love this video, thank you so much for sharing this with us all!

!!!! Great!!!! One of the best so far tutorial with push 2. Thank you. Really master

Really great video! Awesome track and good precise explaining!

absolutely brilliant work... feverishly diggin’ through the dusty 45’s now. Much respect for the inspiration!

My gearlust is through the roof now, thx guys.

Finally a demo that has good music in it! Good job!

this guy is very talented, i saw 2 videos and in both videos he created awesome trax. Obviously, also the technical part is very professional and usefull. Thanx and... keep on!!!!

nice job with the sampling ski, also loving the beat. I am definitely considering to upgrade to push 2

Dude, this track you just created is the nuts!! Genius, such a great demo, i'm off to get some vinyl out now and rig up my 1210 to the system.

I have referenced this video around a dozen times in the past 4 years, and I must say, the tutorial, along with the music, is better than it has a right to be.

This is legendary! Great, great job

This guy is a bloody genius. Keep making more vids!

This is now my favourite video on youtube. Making me so so excited and impatient

Wow wow wow. This was so cool and inspiring to watch. Thank you!!

cant wait to get my hands on Ableton and Push 2 now 🙌🏼

That was seriously dope! Awesome!

as always, I enjoyed every bit of it.

real funky! Well done Ski

insane track! and insane workflow !!

Thanks for a brilliant and funky video!

Dope product and track! Good stuff.

Awesome video! Thanks Ski!

today my bought my Push 2, one of my best days! thanx for the good info.

Excellent demonstration!

It´s working great. Thank you so much for sharing the information

Been a Logic user since the Emagic days. This guy made me buy Ableton and a Push.

I need this. Why am I just hearing about this now it looks magnificent.

Amazing controller and sick track by the way!

I got my Push 2 about a month ago. The first thing I did was go through separate tutorial series to learn as much as I could. I'd start one video with Ableton open and work with Push based on what the video was teaching. It made a huge difference and I wasn't just button bashing. I have an APC40 mk2 as well. They instantly mated essentially and you can control the APC with Push. I can use Apc40 to trigger clips, use push 2 to play keys and slice the incoming clips etc. Push 2 is not cheap, if you buy it, make sure you're down to learn all of it. This video is probably the greatest example of Push 2 genius ..

This is a truly fantastic lesson

Damn, this is so awesome! I really enjoyed this!

Just ordered one.

This video made me buy a Push 2. Thanks a lot for posting.

Awesome stuff mate!

Tutorials rarely end up with beats this good - great stuff.

got push 2 today, this vid is amazing, cheers

This is AWESOME! Thank you for sharing!!!

he is an absolute master - i love it !!

Sold me on this, can't wait to get it! Beat was great

Daaaaaaaaammmmnnnnn..... That was a great tutorial and a mad fantastic mash up!

So good! Now I want this toy and this tune!

Was fully convinced that I'd never upgrade from my Push one but this video just convinced me.

You did a great job!

Thank you man for sharing this stuff

Great vid Ski!

Much respect Mr Oakenfold, - Absolutely nailed it with that awesome beat and in being a fellow Herbie Hancock aficionado!! My Push 2 was just shipped yesterday - Can't wait!! :D

You sold me - dude, Ableton owes' you some commission.

I just lost my shit. This was ridiculously amazing. I could watch this man make music all day

Tremendous stuff, Only ordered one of these bad boys on Monday, This video has really settled my nerves about such an expensive investment...... Thanks

wow, i didn't expect beastie boys at the end, this beat was heavy AF :D

This is Huuuge 🔥🔥🔥 Great Work.

dude...this is bad ass. GREAT JOB!

Awesome. This has now sold me getting into Ableton (use Logic and Cubase). Reminds me of my old Akai S3000 screen. Nice and simple and inspiring to use. I'm in. Cheers! :-)

Sir, you killed it!

Cool sound. Pls make more like this.

This shows the true art of sampling

Absolute fire beat!

This was so good! Thanks!

This is freaking awesome.
