Hell ya! Super inspiring for a noob like me. Just starting with Ableton and bought an APC40 on Craigslist. I can't wait to start using it now.

[@TavishMusicOfficial]

Haha! Thanks Tom! 😄 The APC was my first controller and I love it to bits!! Congrats on the new gear and all the best with the Abletoning! Cheers!

[@mshbtw]

Hey Tavish! Great result, thanks for sharing! Could you explain, how did you make APC and Push focus on different channels independently? In my setup when I trigger a clip on any of the devices, another one switches to the triggered channel. Setting the "Select on Launch" setting to off doesn't help, because in this case if I play on push the APC40's knobs lose access to its channel. In your video, both controllers work independently and don't lose their focus on the channels.

[@jesuslizama10]

Amazing, recently i got an apc 40 mk1 and i have already a push 1,looking forward for a performance like this one, very inspiring! Btw i really loved that bassline, i was wondering how you made it? Very cool!!!

Heyy thanks for amazing video! The apc40 mk2 has a device lock feature, which makes it able to control a track whitout it being selected! Thought you wanted yo know after reading comments 😊 cheers

@@TavishMusicOfficial how is the cables set up?

[@TavishMusicOfficial]

@@theseelakingston Not much to it really. Both controllers have a power supply and a USB connection to my laptop. My audio interface is hooked up to another USB port. That's about it. Is that what you were asking?

[@Aberration79]

Stunning music this mate

[@Toomuchtom777]

Very well done. Have the push and thinking about adding the Akai apc40

[@TavishMusicOfficial]

Thanks Lucid! Glad you liked the video! :) I really enjoyed using them both together for this video, but just wanted to warn you that somehow it's not as freeing as I thought it would be. I can't select separate tracks on each controller so the knobs on the APC end up controlling what's selected on the Push. MIDI mapping the APC40 will remove the functionality of it. If there was some way of being able to select and control individual tracks on each controller then it would be absolutely incredible to use. I think it has to do with the fact that both send MIDI on the same channel and neither controller has the ability to change the default channel it uses.

[@armanmatin2156]

@@TavishMusicOfficial using Isotonik Launchsync you can and also have the Push follow the APC or stay * tracks to the right and many other possibilities like exclude/include tracks

[@Flow447]

Hey brother! How are you? I loved your performance! Was amazing and clean! Men, Im learning, and would like to ask you something. I have the Ableton push 2 and app 40 as well, and I have a problem, when I try to use the step sequencer and use at same time some clip (like you when was making the arps and after you put the kick, I saw that the push 2 not change, but for me when I tried it change the clip in Ableton push 2 and I can't follow playing) So, Do exist some way in the preferences to organize all the stuff? I would aprecciate if your o someone else could help me with this. Thanks! Keep going and good vibes!

[@theowlfla]

Lovley stuff well done think i might get me an old APC40 instead of the Mk2 now :)

[@TavishMusicOfficial]

Hahaha! Yeah I love the layout of the MK1 as well. The only thing I'd choose the MK2 for are the RGB pads and the AB channel selector. But for the most part, I love my MK1! 😁

[@theowlfla]

@@TavishMusicOfficial haha noooo now im torn. I heard thé clip launch pads are bigger and easier to use on thé old one but i suppose all these things have positives and negatives.

[@TavishMusicOfficial]

@@theowlfla If you're seriously considering getting one then I'd say get the MK2 for sure. It's much more compact and the fact that it's USB powered is a huge plus in addition to everything else. It definitely fixes some of the drawbacks of the MK1 while keeping the good bits. :)

Did you connect those to a mac? I've got both but having hard times trying to connect them to my macbook pro 2012 at the same time^ because it has only 2 usb ports, ans it seems like push2 refuses to work via hub... can anyone help here?

[@TavishMusicOfficial]

I use a Windows laptop and it has enough USB ports so it's not a problem... But for daily work at home, both the Push 2 and APC 40 are connected via a USB hub and there's no problems. Get a high quality powered USB hub though if you aren't using one already. Most USB hubs are powered by the USB port itself and that somehow messes things up. Powered hub is the way to go. Hope that helps. :)

[@oleg.ptiitz]

@@TavishMusicOfficial Oh thanks for the reply friend! Could you please tell your exact usb hub model then 'cause I don't wanna miss, have read on the web that not every hub works ;)

[@TavishMusicOfficial]

I love this Demo, their is a new APC40mk2 if you had to choose one , which one 🤔. I have the Studio and Touch also so maybe the APC40MK2

[@TavishMusicOfficial]

Hey! Glad you liked the video! 😀Not sure but I think you're asking if I'd choose between the APC40 mk1 and mk2. I'd definitely choose the mk2 over the mk1 for a bunch of reasons. 1. It's usb powered! 2. It's more compact and lighter. 3. It has RGB pads. 4. It has DeckA/B selection switches which I'd totally use. Overall I think it's a good improvement over the mk1. In fact my mk1 just stopped working so I might pick up the mk2 as my next gear purchase!

[@junkman7901]

Awesome work, I was just wondering if you are able to record these performances into live in the arrangement mode ? or how would you capture/record a performance like this?

[@TavishMusicOfficial]

It depends on the track and video idea really... For tracks like this, recording into Arrangement doesn't work for me because I end up losing the ability to play notes on the Push, over the live looped clips once they've been recorded into Arrangement. I've been trying to get Ableton to fix this weird issue. For a performance like this, I only use Session View. I throw a channel record device onto the master channel and record the whole performance to a single WAV file. The downside is I can't edit individual tracks once the recording is done, but on the other hand, it allows me to play notes over an already playing loop in a particular channel. For my "Funk With D'Punk" video, the track and video idea was different, so that was recorded into Arrangement. I know it sounds confusing but I hope this helps! :)

[@staypuffraps]

@@TavishMusicOfficial Channel record on the master is a great idea! I love the push 2, it does so much. Yet it still doesnt do everything hahaha. I started a new series where I invite musicians over to live loop on the fly. Im having a tough time recording arrangement. Are you doing test runs to mix the tracks for that master channel record?

[@TavishMusicOfficial]

@@staypuffraps Hey! Yeah I do a very basic mix while I'm putting the set together. Just to make sure volume levels aren't all over the place. I end up messing up a couple of takes with bum notes and stuff so I use the retake to clean up any sounds I thought were jarring. :)

[@staypuffraps]

@@TavishMusicOfficial Thats a smart workaround. Thanks for the tip! I am beginning more and more (especially because I play live) to embrace my clam notes and just live with it. Easy to say, hard to actually live with. hahah keep up the good work!

Thanks for inspiring me to finally pull the trigger on a Push 2 purchase, particularly as I already also own a mark one APC40. I'm curious as to what your thoughts are on the APC40 mk2?

[@TavishMusicOfficial]

Do it! Getting the Push 2 really opened up a whole new world of composition and performance ideas. I haven't used the APC 40 mk2 but I'd like to. Seems like a good upgrade to the mk1. I like the fact that it's RGB, it's USB powered and has deck selection switches. It solves a lot of issues that were on the mk1.

@@TavishMusicOfficial you really inspired me, Went out a bought an APC40 today, just can't seem to get the push 2 and the APC to work together. any hints tips :)

[@TavishMusicOfficial]

Jae wow! Glad it inspired you! You should see two selection boxes when you plug in both controllers. I use one bank of 8 tracks for the push 2 and another set of 8 for the APC40 (usually percussion). Use the selection keys to highlight the right bank and that's it! :) The only drawback is you can't select two different tracks. Selecting or highlighting a track on one controller will select it on the other as well. Hope that helps. Happy to help if you have any more questions! All the best! :)

[@jdssurf]

Awesome man, I only have Ableton lite and some hardware synths and a keystep pro coming. Trying to decide if I should just go with full Ableton and add a Push 2. ....or a cheaper DAW and a Maschine maybe, but I think maybe I should get and learn Ableton and do the Push? Any thoughts?

[@TavishMusicOfficial]

Depends on your style and how comfortable you are with your gear really. Personally, I love the workflow with Ableton so getting the APC40 and then the Push 2 helped streamline something I was already comfortable and enjoyed working with. There's artists who do these jams totally DAW-less even. Comes down to personal preferences so I can't really say what would be better. If you like working with Ableton, then an APC 40 is a great first controller. Launchpad is ok but no knobs or sliders is a deal breaker for me. The Push 2 is more expensive but mine came bundled with Live 10 Suite so it was a great deal. Hope that helps! :)

[@constantinosgkourtsas8919]

can you tell me how you seperated the controllers? I mean how the push's focus doesn't change when you trigger a clip from apc40?? great work!

[@TavishMusicOfficial]

Hey! Glad you liked the track. In the preferences under Record, Warp and Launch, you'll see a setting called "select on launch". That's toggled ON by default. Switch it to OFF and your controller will stop selecting the track every time you trigger a clip. Hope that helps! :)

[@constantinosgkourtsas8919]

It helps the problem is solved. Thanks for your quick response :)

[@santiagograue]

How do you get them to work independently??

[@TavishMusicOfficial]

When you connect both the controllers, you get a box that selects the grid in focus. I selected the 8 tracks of percussion on the APC40 and the live looping tracks on the Push 2. It's a bit of a pain though cuz with individual track selection, they both select the same track. I'm still trying to figure out a way to have them both select different tracks individually.

[@santiagograue]

@@TavishMusicOfficial thank you very much for your response man! But yeah I'm struggling with the same problem with individual track selection where they both select the same track. If you find a solution please let me know I would appreciate it alot but yeah thanks man awesome content btw!

Hello great job ! How you set the apc 40 for just some tracks and the push for others ?

[@TavishMusicOfficial]

Hey Cristian! When you plug in the controllers, you should see a selection box around the clips in Ableton. You can move those around using the arrow keys on each controller to select a different grid. However, when you select a particular track, it will be selected on both controllers. Hope that helps. :)

[@v_sky]

Hey. I just watched your video and have a question. I do have same combination except a new APC40 MK2. How did you make them both work separately from each other? When I play smth on Push and press a different sample on APC it changes both of the devices to last track I pushed on APC. How do I make them work separately like you did? Thank you.

[@TavishMusicOfficial]

Hey Vladimir. That's a bit of a drawback at the moment. Selecting a track on one controller will have it selected on the other controller as well. What I did here was disable the "select on launch" option in the preferences. That way I could switch instruments on the Push and keep triggering percussion on the APC 40 without it changing to the track everytime I triggered a perc element. There is apparently a work around from isotonikstudios, that enables you to select different tracks on each controller, but I haven't looked into it yet. Hope that helps. Cheers!

[@ozwaltreacts4709]

[@seekeyk]

[@rao.4354]

How did u set up for both to work independently from each other ?

[@TavishMusicOfficial]

They're controlling different banks of tracks - the Push's grid controls the melodic elements and the APC 40's grid is on the percussion. You should see two selection boxes around the clips in Ableton so you just move those around to the grid you want that controller to trigger. When it comes to individual tracks though, the knobs across both controllers, control the same selected track. Someone in the comments had mentioned a piece of software by Isotonik Studios that allows you to have both controllers select different tracks but I haven't been able to look into it yet. Hope that helps.

[@rao.4354]

@@TavishMusicOfficial that clarifies a lot, thanks !

[@slopetechno]

@@TavishMusicOfficial Thanks for clarifying that you are using push for melodic elements and the APC for percussion. Of course that is visible in the video but I didn't quite figure that out. Wouldn't it be possible to do all of it just with Push 2 by switching tracks more?

[@TavishMusicOfficial]

@@slopetechno yeah you totally can but it just makes things a bit more complicated. If you watch my video "Lost In Isolation" - that was done with just the Push 2 but you can see a lot more page switching happening. It just makes it easier to have as many things laid out and easily accessible as possible. :)

[@dorianwilson4559]

Can this controller be used with FL Studio? Also, a Numark StandAlone DJ Console?

[@TavishMusicOfficial]

Hey Dorian... These are both MIDI controllers specifically geared for use with Ableton but you could MIDI map it for FL Studio I suppose. The APC 40 would be better/easier to map than the Push for sure but I wouldn't really recommend it. For FL Studio, something like the Akai Fire might be better since it's built for the DAW. Once you figure out the controller of choice it becomes another piece of gear on the table so I'm sure you could use it along with your DJ console. Might have to re-wire FL Studio and your DJ software. Not too sure about it but should be possible. Hope that helps :)

[@dorianwilson4559]

Yeah, I was trying for 4 hrs. to program it. It's not working at it's full capacity.

[@TavishMusicOfficial]

@@dorianwilson4559 Yeah these controllers are geared specifically for Ableton so it's a bit of a pain to use them for anything else. I stopped using FL Studio in 2012 when I switched to Ableton so I'm not upto date with the FLS controllers... But the Akai Fire should be worth checking out if you haven't already. It's built for FLS so it may suit your needs better.

[@dorianwilson4559]

@@TavishMusicOfficial how much is the Ableton? Can I produce music with it?

[@TavishMusicOfficial]

@@dorianwilson4559Yeah Ableton is a DAW so it's like FLS in the sense that its a software for making music. One of the best out there in my opinion. There's many versions of Ableton at different price points to suit various budgets. Check out the Ableton website for latest prices... I think they have a trial as well so that might be worth downloading to see if you like it.

[@LordShvttle]

would you still recommend the apc40 mkI as a main midi for starters?

[@TavishMusicOfficial]

It depends on your budget and how you use Ableton really. For some people a Novation Launchpad is plenty (and cheaper) but I wanted faders and knobs for the kind of music I was producing. The Mk1 was my only controller for a long time and it was a game changer for me. The Mk2 is about the same price now and adds features I'd loved to have seen on the Mk1. For live looping and changing parameters on the fly I don't think there's anything better out there! If you're looking to get a controller, I'd say get the APC 40 Mk2! :)

[@TavishMusicOfficial]

Hey! Congrats on the gear and glad to hear the videos were inspiring in some way! For this one, I used both in default mode with the Push controlling one set of 8 tracks and the APC another set of 8. Doing that gave me much more control of the set rather than having two controllers on the same tracks. What I haven't been able to figure out yet is how to control tracks independently on each device. Still working that out at the moment! Hope that helps!

noob, jjk this is kool is the push 2 worth it? yyes ior nop

[@TavishMusicOfficial]

I think it depends on your workflow. Get it only if you know why you need it. For me personally it's been fantastic! I use it all the time on almost every track I work on. Worth every penny!

Yes my friend......

[@lbrown7164]

can the APC40 MK1 fader do what the mk2 fader does in terms of assignA/B for Djing ? If so, how ?

[@TavishMusicOfficial]

Hey! Yeah the fader is to go between Deck A and Deck B. The difference is that the MK2 allows you to assign tracks to A or B directly from the controller, whereas with the MK1 you can fade between decks only if you've preselected them manually on the actual Ableton DAW. Hope that helps! :)

Haha! That's what I felt the track needed at the time... 😝

@@TavishMusicOfficial would love to hear a refix with future garage drums.

[@TavishMusicOfficial]

@@jvsonyt Ooh! There's an idea. Lemme see what I can do... Thanks for the suggestion!

[@rontan8433]

In my humble opinion. the over use of captions is abit um.... distracting, we ain't 5yo that need constant cartoons to be enticed. nice performance.

[@TavishMusicOfficial]

Thanks for the feedback Ron and glad you liked the track! The captions are sort of my way of interacting with viewers and explaining the process to people. A lot of my viewers are just getting started with Ableton and may not know what is happening with all the buttons and knobs so it's more for them. But I shall keep your advice in mind for the next one. Thanks! :)

@@TavishMusicOfficial Thanks for the captions. I disagree with Ron Tan, they definitely help me follow along.

Now try some Drum and Bass. ;)
