A breakdown and short performance using the Ableton Push 3. I make less EDM and more prog-stuff, so this might be more useful for old-school folks like me who work in prog / cinematic / rock and want to prepare live sets using Push with...y'know...non EDM things.

That was really amazing! It is so great to see it all come together. Thank you for sharing! An inspiration to be sure!

@synthseeker 11 месяцев назад

It’s not perfect but I enjoy it’s strengths and have confidence the weaknesses will be addressed. ;)

@synkrotron Год назад

it is always a pleasure and an inspiration watching your performance videos, Luke 🙂 👍

Excellent breakdown, Luke! As usual. Loved the guitar solo, by the way!

so nice to see a - musician - performing through all these push3 videos on youtube. It makes a big difference. Subscribed of course, thank you for the great class.

very very nice. Finally someone that shows how to create nice transitions with the push. Now im sold on the new version. Awesome! Thats such a huge improvement

@synthseeker 11 месяцев назад

It’s not perfect but it is a good foundation. I expect it will get better over time.

@DanmsTV 7 месяцев назад

I cover/enjoy making several different kinds of music so I’m glad you appreciate different ones as well!

Even though you didn’t use the MPE, you just sold me out the Push 3. The clips view explained as you can se it is so clever and useful. Thanks for sharing!

@synthseeker 9 месяцев назад

It has good things and also limitations. Generally I like it. As a control surface for Ableton Live it has no equal.

@ElectronisoundsAudio Год назад

Really enjoyed this one! 👏👏 The way you are doing the pitch bends on the guitar lead is so sweet... My Push 3 has an issue with the pitch strip / modwheel always sticking to the top so I've not really been able to use it much yet... So it was really great to see someone ripping it up with theirs! Awesome jam! 💙

@synthseeker Год назад

I hope you can get it fixed or swapped for a working one!

@ElectronisoundsAudio Год назад

@@synthseeker Thanks! They are trying to fix it with a firmware update, so keeping my fingers crossed! 👍

@mwachner 4 месяца назад

Nice, thanks for the extra info. Love that PRS guitar, nice! And nicely programmed drums clips - did you do those in Ableton first or actually in Push 3 (new to Ableton, so excuse possibly dumb question lol...)

@synthseeker 4 месяца назад

Those are the MPE drum kit played on push into Ableton. :)

As much as I love synths and the way you make them sing, around 22:50 and onwards proves one thing: "Guitar was my first love, and it will be my last!" Fantastic walkthrough of your workflow, Luke, I really appreciate and enjoy these videos.

@UrbanTarantulas 8 месяцев назад

Great vid. Thank you. Question. What if you want to perform with the lead in another chord while the bass line is playing. Like if you wanted to go to the 3 chord for just one quick bar. Is there a way to change the chord for the bass line ? Or do you just have to know where you will change the chord and record your loop that way from the beginning ?

@synthseeker 8 месяцев назад

It depends on how you have your control setup and the arrangement you have.

@synthseeker 8 месяцев назад

You can setup the scene to give you that as an option, or you could be more Freeform/live looping and trigger loops specifically for each instrument instead of by scene.

@alexgostin1990 11 месяцев назад

Great video. I want a Push 3. Have you tried any of the Sonokinetic libraries with Push? You basically play a maj or min chord and the library plays a bunch of time synced orchestral phrases (strings, brass, winds). The Kontakt GUI has a lot of key switch options but I imagine that a more clever way of phrase launching could be implemented with Push. Sonokinetic's latest library Fantasy would be great with Push for composers wanting to create something orchestral in a live setting. Would love someone (i.e. you ha ha) to do a video showing a workflow.

@synthseeker 11 месяцев назад

Those are new to me but I’ll look them up. :)

@jancarsonweatherby1579 Месяц назад

25:24 “basically I build out a big set of the parts and pieces that I want to do… individual songs come in sections…” How do you set up and organize those (separate) songs? Say you have a set of 4 songs you want to perform, in the fashion you’ve demonstrated here… how do you start/launch each song? Can you go into detail about that? 🙏🍻

@synthseeker Месяц назад

I will try to do a video on that in the coming weeks. I’m working on another Berlin school tutorial and I’ll work towards showing a multi-song setup there. :) hang in there!

@jancarsonweatherby1579 Месяц назад

@@synthseeker awesome! Can't wait :)

@timvommeer9660 11 месяцев назад

Super impressive and inspiring! Thank you! Is it possible to use 3rd party plug ins on push 3 in stand-alone mode? Such as Valhalla or the modwave? Or let’s say create the project on the computer and then load everything onto the push for a stand line performance (apart from cpu load of course)

@synthseeker 11 месяцев назад

No. No vsts or any 3rd party plugins. Ableton stock and m4L only. :)

@synthseeker 11 месяцев назад

You could render everything to Audio though.

@timvommeer9660 11 месяцев назад

@@synthseeker Thank you! Yeah...and rendering it is xD

@rfj_4337 10 месяцев назад

You mention live looping / ambient with a tonal center at the beginning of the video. Curious if you have any content in that style you could point me to? Thanks!

@synthseeker 10 месяцев назад

For live looping a good example is here… ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qAivyg_I-4Q.html A more ambient piece is here… ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GStneINgf6I.html

Trilian by Spectrasonics. It’s really old. :)

@fridmanator 2 месяца назад

What does the macro knobs do while you see the session view? Can you still control the selected channel?

@synthseeker 2 месяца назад

There are two banks of 8 buttons along with the knobs and you can select tracks, devices and parameter banks with them. The knobs change focus/parameter/track based on your selections. You can remap them to just about anything/multiple things. :) there are a ton of videos explaining them.

@fridmanator 2 месяца назад

Thanks for the reply, but I meant while the screen show you the session view, you still control anything on the knobs?

@synthseeker 2 месяца назад

Aaaah…you mean the screen on the push itself showing session view! I’m sorry I misunderstood the question! Lol

@synthseeker 2 месяца назад

I don’t know? I’ll test and reply today.

@agustoon 11 месяцев назад

Hello friend, I hope you are feeling well. I have been trying how to move the projects from my pc to ableton push 3 standalone, and I have not been able to do it. I always get UPLOADING TO PUSH FAIL, I have only managed to upload a small project to push 3, but, I have not been able to get the instruments that are native to ableton, such as the grand piano, basic things. What am I doing wrong? I looked in the manual and there is no reference to any error when uploading the project. I have tried freezing the projects, I have tried Collected all and save. I have tried dragging from the ableton folder to the push folder. I have tried dragging from the windows folder, to the push folder in ableton. and nothing seems to work. If you can tell me what I am doing wrong it would be a great help. Thanks a lot++

@synthseeker 11 месяцев назад

You need to install the packs onto the push that match the ones on your desktop Ableton perhaps?

@wilkopiano 10 месяцев назад

Isn’t a set classified as multiple songs? There only 8 vertical scenes on screen and 8 channel strips before scrolling and if verses and choruses have more than 8 instrument strips audio and midi then you end up scrolling to the right. A set is where multiple songs for the entire gig are in the set which actually means in session mode you would have to work diagonally. Suddenly the screen isn’t so useful after all on push 3. A lot of people are switching to arrangement view to go back to linear view then you can set marker for each song but still only scroll horizontally and perform hours of prep automation work. I prefer spontaneity and work diagonally.

@synthseeker 10 месяцев назад

I’d love to see a video breaking down your workflow, as I don’t think I understand “diagonally”. I work vertically in session mode so I’m not sure how you mean? If you have a set with, for example, four songs in it, and each song has say 12 instruments, are you saying you need 48 tracks total? You don’t reuse any instruments between songs?
