Easier tip for the tempo window: Hold shift and hit tempo. This allows you to no longer hold the tempo button in order to see the tempo window. I live by this method in live gigs when manually switching tempos.

Man, this was my first times seeing one of your videos and I subscribed immediately. I’m pretty proficient on the MPC workflow cause I’ve had a Live since day one. Now I’m graduated up to the Live 2 and Keys. I’ve bought and sold a Force twice because little basic things seem buried. I just got one again and these tips are amazing. A lot of silly things I was having trouble finding are right out in the open. I love your simplistic breakdowns and positive attitude. Thanks sir! Can’t wait to dig into more of your stuff. Keep it up!

For live performance push 2 set lists are such that songs are positioned diagonally between each song so lots of cursor navigation movement between songs. But I quite like the workflow of the akai trying to fit the song or set into 8x8 grid, but I suspect for live gigs it probably a good idea to have two akai forces in sync so you can queue up the next song in the set on the 2nd force. Akai has limited memory where as push2 and computer can load up the entire set and all vsts for all songs on one massive grid.

@@marcuselbow yes, I think you can only record automation of master tracks in the arranger mode. Hit the Master in Matrix mode and arm the Outputs 1/2 track. When the automation is enabled (you can do so by tapping the automation icon in arranger or use the pull down menu), you can twist the macro knobs that have parameter assignment of the output 1/2) to record the movement. you can view and edit the automation by bringing up the edit window in the arranger mode.
