Hey friends,
As announced here comes my first beat making video on the Ableton Push 3 Standalone: Working on a track and talking about my workflow while sharing my experience with Ableton Push 3 so far and what I like and don’t like. I think the beat came out pretty nicely in the end, hope you dig it too and enjoy watching!
Have a great weekend,
Miles

This community is awesome! 💜 You solved my questions I had in the video so I'll just drop that here for other users: - adding items to different collections: just spin the encoder above "Favorite" to choose the collection(s) and then hit the button (thanks kevinbraiden9142!) - snapping a parameter back to 0 / default: hold the "delete" button and touch the encoder you want to reset (thanks morelricht8013!) - the Ableton template used in this video (which is compatible with Live and Push 3 Standalone) can be downloaded here on my Patreon: www.patreon.com/posts/ableton-template-94764909?Link& Any more handy shortcuts? Drop me a comment here, let's share the knowledge. Thanks guys!

I set up a template with instruments and effects racks and use Push to live sample (into clips) various hardware instruments, add more sounds/tracks etc. It works pretty well, it's quite similar to how I use Octartrack. Push 3 standalone software has ways to go still, so I tend to use it in controller mode with a laptop.

@MilesKvndra 6 месяцев назад

Oh that's interesting! I've heard from a few people now that are considering switching their OT for Push Standalone in the future. But agree with you that the software still has ways to go. But I'm assuming it's a device they will support over years with firmware updates (like Elektron does) to make this machine really shine.

@remyvegamedia 6 месяцев назад

Oh maaaan this look so fun. The sound you achieved is so goood. I can see where there are some limitations, but it's the sort of thing that, in standalone, would encourage me to just move onto the next thing and get the basics of a whole song started. I could see myself being very productive with this. I'm getting one. For sure.

@MilesKvndra 6 месяцев назад

Cheers Remy! Yeah it’s the same with me - I actually use it quite a lot in different ways. It’s very versatile and I love that about the Push Standalone. So much yet to explore and Live 12 is just around the corner, which I’m pretty sure will bring Push Standalone to the next level

@kevinbraiden9142 6 месяцев назад

At 18:31 - Adding items to collections...just spin the encoder above "Favorite" to choose the collection(s) and then hit the button.

@MilesKvndra 6 месяцев назад

Maaaaan that is it! Thanks so much for sharing, that's great. But there still isn't a way to rename the collections, right?

@billpayer3745 6 месяцев назад

The midi edit part you highlighted early on is probably the most compelling argument I've seen to move from push 2 to push 3.

@MilesKvndra 6 месяцев назад

It is just so much better on Push 3 than on Push 2. But I don’t really understand why Ableton doesn’t implement this on Push 2 better. Yes, it doesn’t have the jogwheel but you could use one of the encoders in clip mode for that.

@billpayer3745 6 месяцев назад

It's implemented so badly on Push 2, I thought I was doing something wrong at first. It's also so badly implemented, and this is the real workflow killer for me, that I sometimes end up gravitating to the mouse to edit midi!

Sehr cooles Video! 👍 Ich freue mich schon total auf deinen Push 3 Content. Ich benutze momentan selbst den Push 2 und spare auf den Push 3 im Standalone-Modus. 🤗 Tipp: Um Parameter auf 0 zurückzusetzen, kannst du einfach den "Delete"-Button gedrückt halten und den gewünschten Knopf berühren. 😉

@MilesKvndra 6 месяцев назад

Danke dir Morel, auch für den mega Tipp mit dem Parameter! :) Das ist super hilfreich. Ich habe gerade mal einen Kommentar hier unter dem Video erstellt, damit andere User den Tipp auch finden. Viel Spaß mit Push 2, ist auch ein fantastischer Controller muss ich sagen. Hatte über Jahre extrem viel Spaß damit. :)

@smerin 6 месяцев назад

Inspiring to see you working on it already, even if you’ve only had it a few days. Early in the video you show the effects on the master track that are applied just to the melodic elements. How did you set this up? Surely the drums go through the master track too? Eagerly awaiting your future Push 3 videos, and how you get it hooked up with your other gear.

@MilesKvndra 6 месяцев назад

Thanks a lot Smerin! I'm actually planning a video on that for the future but basically it's a mix of Map 8 and MultiMap M4L devices that are grouped in an Effect Rack and control multiple sends on the 8 instrument groups in the template. You can find a blueprint with the mappings here on Patreon: www.patreon.com/posts/ableton-template-94764909?Link&

@MilesKvndra 4 месяца назад

That’s definitely doable. For now I don’t want to miss my Sub 25 for the sessions but would love to make a Push 3 + Sub 25 liveset in the future. :)

@NOGASAYAN 6 месяцев назад

Well done Miles! Great video quality and great knowledge you spread here, appreciate! Do you have any comparison to the Maschine plus? Are the two devices similar in their features and workflow? Anyhow, have fun with it and hopefully you can spend more time with it over the holiday time ;-)

@MilesKvndra 6 месяцев назад

Thanks so much dude and good to see you here as well as on Threads! :) Unfortunately I've never had my hands on any Maschine so I can't really say how it compares. I had the Push 2 before and that switch was very smooth and easy, as workflows are quite similar.

@NOGASAYAN 6 месяцев назад

@@MilesKvndra yep, followed on every channel 😄 Okay thanks anyways! I think i’m more into maschines workflow cause i never really clicked with the push. But i will think about a good while and decide later 😊

@billpayer3745 6 месяцев назад

I'm a push 2 user and former maschine MK1 user and even though I loved the jamming aspect of maschine. I just found it too frustrating moving from sketch pad to finished track. With push you are already there with the idea sketched out in Ableton.

@jedilicious7025 2 месяца назад

Hi Miles, I am a big fan of your music and your videos, thanks for sharing all these! One practical question, how is the stability in standalone mode and especially with sequencing external gear? I am considering buying the Push 3 standalone (found a great deal for 1500 including suite 12) and pairing it up with my OB6 desktop. Reason I ask is that there were a lot of complaints when the device was just out. So wondering where we stand after almost a year of updates.

@MilesKvndra Месяц назад

Hey, thanks for the lovely feedback! I have to say so far I've only used it in standalone mode for sounddesign and one time with a small project where I had the Sub 25 connected via USB for MIDI. This worked great and I didn't experience any glitches while sequencing it. I also used for my last live gigs the Push 3 as an audio&midi interface which also worked super smooth without any issues.

@jedilicious7025 Месяц назад

That sounds promising! Thanks

@JakeHaldenVangMusic 3 месяца назад

I’ve seen a lot of people talking about updates that would be great and “for now it can’t blank” on every video. Has the push 3 actually gotten any firmware updates??

@MilesKvndra 3 месяца назад

It has, however some of the basic UX design issues like the LFO being not assignable haven’t been addressed. However, I have to mention that I didn’t try the most recent Push 3 update they released for Ableton Live 12

@fpsoundpacks 6 месяцев назад

I would like to see you making a full track (maybe 3 minutes long) only with push 3 and it's devices like wavetable without using pc. Let's see it like a challange. Would be cool to see what you can get out of the box. And certainly inspiring for others who have decided to use the device to get away from pc... What do you think? Could be fun, right!

@MilesKvndra 6 месяцев назад

That’s a nice idea. Actually in the background I’m tacking this track from this video already further and see how far I can push it (pun intended). Let’s see when I find time as I will be offline most of January. Happy new year!

@fpsoundpacks 6 месяцев назад

Happy new year for you as well, thank you. Yes, the track from the video does have already potential. Has something of recondite. At least it reminds me of the style. I would also get the Push 3 if, technically speaking, it had the same potential as the Elektron sequencer. Ess from fors has almost done it with the opal synth. He may have received approval from elektron to do so. If push could do something like that, it would already be the heart on my desk. Although I would then no longer need a desk (PC screen, etc.). It should also be very comfortable on the couch ;) @@MilesKvndra

@MilesKvndra 6 месяцев назад

@@fpsoundpacks good thoughts and I can say it definitely is very comfortable on the couch haha. Cheers!
