Ableton Push 2: Sampling from Vinyl

[@DemiGodsMusic]

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

[@demejiuk5660]

Yeh man!

[@la8niteson]

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

[@erikjonromnes]

there’s so many of them to choose from, how did you decide? ... hehe

[@Cnspeace777]

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 !

[@hanniffydinn6019]

Only herbie Hancock didn't have one of these ! ;-)

[@devvvvvvvvvvvv]

Hard body hahah

[@collifilms]

FOR SURE. That beat snapped, and quick too.

[@raretapes8057]

100% he is paid to promote it. He does a great job of it.

[@destroyaudio]

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!

[@TheBushdoctor68]

How's that whole commenting thing coming along for ya?

[@Judesmood118]

Check out accurate beats... great videography, same sort of sampling thing but he uses maschine.

[@bradenrodriguez5183]

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.

[@romenpheonixx7005]

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

[@thewonderer9985]

Romen Pheonixx he

[@DmitriDiakov]

No its not this is sooo bad, he doesnt even go through the steps needed to take on push 2.... this is 6/10 at best.

[@therealliveguy]

agreed. He shows you what it can do, which is great...but he doesn't show you HOW to do it. Someone that actually has a Push sees this instantly. Prime example is hitting the pads to record each sample. He shows you that it can do that, which again, is great....but he doesn't show you how to. So you are 1000% correct in that this tutorial is clear as mud.

[@JacobPadlock]

This beat has no business being this good.

[@robertlemiesz7143]

Right. LIke usually these video have something thats like "oooh ok that kinda cool as a demo". This shit is fire though

[@stormie909]

@@robertlemiesz7143 when he had the chord with the LFO i went crazy. bro killed it

[@AveMcree]

ain't gunna lie. The track was 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@goken5001]

it kinda was doe loool

[@IDriveAnAudi]

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!!

[@arnabchakrabortyofficial]

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.

[@bjedo3]

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

[@beatz04]

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

[@kaylamaezamora8343]

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

[@galousis]

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.

[@thedude1744]

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

[@drelambo2934]

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

[@PB72UK]

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

[@SamKitson]

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

[@Iredidv]

My gearlust is through the roof now, thx guys.

[@blendertutorialdotnet]

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

[@midnightmoore6445]

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.

[@saifmanman]

SAME

[@riiiiiiiiiiiiiis]

SAME

[@redicoyote]

yup

[@shadowmn]

Same to all of it. Maschine has been sitting on the shelf and I own Ableton 9 Suite. I got no excuses. Committing now.

[@boldlyfine]

Can we be friends?

[@Indeoirie1]

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

[@D0CT0RS0UL]

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

[@dj.merci1]

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

[@BulgBeats]

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

[@jeremietisby2206]

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!

[@karelhoogendoorn]

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!

[@GigglinHamster]

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

[@MrHollabk]

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

[@BulgBeats]

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

[@halb3funk-tube375]

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

[@lairdriver]

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 ..

[@djceezromero8133]

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

[@mrb713ify]

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 .

[@estevancarlos]

Just ordered one.

[@Drrolfski]

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.

[@Shu_BLN]

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

[@Chainy1337]

This is fucking awesome!

[@pointblankmusicschool]

+Sam Cro 😎

[@TheGerfalkon]

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

[@christianjelic3974]

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

[@lnambz]

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

[@Dungeon_of_Regret]

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

[@poetryinanimation]

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

[@swanebrokendeep]

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

[@TeleporterM11]

This device could revive the entire vinyl market

[@hamfunkproductions622]

+Roger Bonner Yes!

[@OGameBoyOhd]

Not when you can do the same thing from a pc for free but I get what you mean. It's more fun to sample vinyl

[@Generation2434]

Awesome video! Thanks Ski!

[@ashleyashcon7912]

This shows the true art of sampling

[@anjumshahzad8612]

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

[@aeroprojects]

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

[@playboxadministrator9229]

Excellent demonstration!

[@99MUZIK]

It's makes AKAI MPC and NATIVE INSTRUMENTS look like shit!!! Whoa!!! what a comeback

[@cd3music816]

+Johnny Santiago The new MPC Touch looks nice but they want you to use their software like NI. Sure I can use their software as a plug-in in Ableton but its just a pain in the ass. Ableton and Push 2 is the way to go.

[@lpn369]

Word

[@jonathanwingmusic]

If Push 3 has a touch screen it's fuckin OVER haha

[@penguin0075]

Bitwig is generating some heat...any good??

[@penguin0075]

Sounds interesting mate, will have to look into this - cheers!

[@juhosarvanko]

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

[@twopage]

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

[@SjN7HETIK]

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!!!!

[@ELCONDUCTOR]

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

[@jimduke4582]

insane track! and insane workflow !!

[@gusofalltrades865]

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.

[@worldofgreenhell]

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

[@MrSRellz]

real funky! Well done Ski

[@AK325iZoro]

Really liked that last piece with the lfo

[@nirelmar]

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

[@beatz04]

2023 and still one of the best Push tutorials out there.

[@b00i00d]

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

[@brixandmortaruk]

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.

[@javwelly]

Literally incredible Ski!!

[@devmiles]

pretty awesome! was just looking into buying a push but could as well jump right into a push 2

[@trakkit4746]

Features are very similar and the original push is $400 cheaper. The new one definitely looks a lot nicer and it's easier to pick up and play right when you get it.

[@devmiles]

thanks! that might just be the right trigger to go for a push 1 as i don't need too much fancy features anyway.

[@devmiles]

Trakkit thanks! that might just be the right trigger to go for a push 1 as i don't need too much fancy features anyway.

[@nikon8212]

Very nice! Thank you!

[@donstanley72]

How did you make sure that all the samples were in tune with respect to each other?

[@thomasflaherty]

+Don Stanley I had the same thought. I sort of think they had it planned out, which is fine but it would have been nice to see the work flow of editing and changing samples with the respect to their keys.

[@marwa8843]

+Thomas Flaherty if you know what key you want to be in, the push piano is scaled to a key of your choosing. so if warped everything is in key.

[@TJ-hs1qm]

+Don Stanley trust your ears :)

[@thedude1744]

Don Stanley IMO if it sounds good what does it matter?

[@rxfromparis6633]

i'm guessing that the key and tempo was set up to match the accappela, correct ??

[@itsnopez]

Nice! Just realised who you are, Ski. Chatted to you about your rig a few times at Bays gigs. Already got my Push 2 - Looking forward to the weekend now :)

[@danielsailors7782]
