NEW ABLETON LIVE UPDATE IS AWESOME (and fixes Push!)

[@Taetro]

Did update 12.1 tip the scales for anyone? Curious to know what you think of this update!

[@Yhuntermusic]

That Auto Shifter Poly Chord Mode is def my fav!!! Great video as always man!!

[@Yhuntermusic]

Also felt your pain on the "Select On Launch" to man... Thank God they updated that!

[@Clammyclams]

I was gonna sell it. This has me reconsidering!

[@damelos4039]

Just waiting for a sale for upgrade from 11 to 12. I have the controller version. Too expensive for stand alone right now.....maybe used.

[@Taetro]

@@Yhuntermusicyuppp!!!! Thanks bro and anybody reading this should go watch THIS guys video

[@shawndaniel7673]

Undo History is a VERY UNDERRATED add on for this update. Very very pleased with all the new features added. I could see Drum Sampler becoming the new Simpler in a few years when 13 is released.

[@bodhibeats8257]

A fair amount of these new features are also available for Push 2! Huge update for Ableton Gang. Very excited!

[@Taetro]

yes that is HUUUUGE and very great for Ableton to continue that support

[@claytonchipper3874]

That sounds promising. Can you move tracks, scenes and create macros on push 2?

[@bodhibeats8257]

@@claytonchipper3874 I don’t have it in front of me, but my recollection is that you cannot move tracks/scenes or create macros on Push 2 like you can on Push 3. I suspect the lack of jog wheel makes some of these much trickier, UI-wise. You CAN, however, access macro variations on Push 2…which is a big one for me! The new Pitch Shift and Drum Sampler instruments also have great Push integration that works on Push 2.

[@beejaybeejaybeejay]

Yes

[@mrclaytron]

12.1 is huge! I'm really excited about the Push 3 standalone updates - it was already an amazing machine, but I agree with you - there were definitely some features missing at launch. Macro mapping from the device is implemented really well I think, and the idea of now being able to have a proper sound design workflow from standalone is appealing to me. It's becoming clear that over time Push 3 is going to become something of a dream production device for many people. Despite having its flaws and initial bugs, it's already been a dream standalone device for me personally since day one. Great video man, love your work

[@Taetro]

I think you are right...can't wait to see what FUTURE updates will bring!

[@mrclaytron]

@@Taetro Oh man, I feel excited like a kid waiting for Christmas!

[@charlieharding8134]

The new filters are game changing for Push standalone. It helps browse the content library much faster.

[@Taetro]

YES!!!

[@mrclaytron]

Oh yeah - this is awesome! Browsing through ten billion kick samples alphabetically to load something named "z-kick.wav" wasn't so enjoyable on Push 3!

[@Taetro]

😂😂😂

[@VKJ85]

Hold Select and then press the scene to select it withoutlaunching it and keep holding it n move the jogwheel to change new scene position. This is on newest beta atleast. Culd be that Your Beta (while doing this video) was 12.1.b1 or b2. I'm on b3 and select + scene now works as expected. You can now group/ungroup instruments and audio devices and move devices in that audio effect rack outside the rack. Rename track with Push 3 onscreendisplay (enter Your name on arcade game style with controller) nonstandalone Push3 user here. Clip Edit mode on the 5th row I see "Groove none (or a groove name)" text still on when You press Edit on the right corner.

[@Taetro]

good call! thanks for listing these changes!

[@JJ1NE]

That selection on launch was killing me! So glad they fixed it. Hopefully it’s an update on push 2.

[@Taetro]

I believe many of these updates (aside from standalone stuff) are coming to Push 2 as well!

[@MKS21471]

@@Taetro But on Push2, it's acting as a controller, so this is set as a Preference in Live (software) itself.

UNDO HISTORY IS GOATED

[@MrFullyCharged]

From the start, I wanted the macros features on Maschine Plus, as well as a few other things. This is really great to see the Push moving in that direction for live performance. The thing that convinced me to purchase the standalone upgrade kit this week was actually the Arturia X8 OUT Adat expander for $299. NOW my push standalone alllows full stem remixing on my DJM V10 with only a tiny box and a small price tag. The updates in 12.1 are just icing on the cake 🎉❤

[@jyack]

holy god, the midi feature for auto shift will be insane, so much vocal chops potential

[@Taetro]

YUP!!!

[@AndyParka]

Thanks, not the first video of this i've seen, but the most informative and useful!

[@Taetro]

Thank you! Yeah I’d rather hone in on a my top features and go deeper with them vs. just read the list off abletons website

[@jghosttheconscious]

Undo history Change is the best feature

[@lostreligion1313]

Macro Variations are awesome and the ability to save and also jam these on the pads is great

[@user-we8eq3tf9r]

With Renaming macros - can you rename things via Push (ie. enter text?!). This would be AMAZING to be able to name things easily via Push.

[@Drrolfski]

I bought an MPC Live 2 a few years ago because there wasn't a Push standalone out yet. When Push 3 launched my ultimate mobile DAW-in-a-box dream still didn't materialize because I realized that this was pretty much a Gen 1 product for Ableton that needed a lot more cooking. Skip fwd a year later and I have come to realize that Akai's philosophy of starting with a hardware groovebox and turning it more into a DAW-in-a-box over time might actually turn out to be a better route vs Ableton starting out as a DAW and then increasingly implementing its functionality into the Push 3 hardware. The Push 3 workflow for making a beat in standalone simply isn't as fast and immediate vs the MPC. And this update isn't going to change that. The MPC on the other hand is going to see a huge firmware update (in beta atm) that will make it behave even more like a DAW, adding linear arrangement and getting rid of legacy workflow quirks that made it unnecessarily complex to use. So as a mobile standalone production machine, the Push 3 might never be for me. As a live performing device or Ableton controller however, it's a different story.

[@Realcbdave]

glad u finally did it! 🔥 it’s always nice to hear your input man

[@topiclke777]

I have live 12 and I can def say I want to wait it out for the full release because of the bugs and the saves issues. I can’t wait ngl

[@JesusGarciaNailed]

Finally! Undo History 🎉😊

[@Taetro]

haha so simple but so great

[@MilesKvndra]

Great video buddy and it’s awesome to see what they did to the Push 3. 💜

[@Taetro]

thanks man!! can't wait to see what you do with some of these updates.

[@millyhunter]

Just bought a standalone seems I got it at the right time 😂

[@remyvegamedia]

This is coooool! I was already saving for the Push 3, but grouping/macros in standalone definitely seals the deal for me even more. I'm definitely aware of missing features, but my main use would just be for creating music in my living room when I don't feel like hiding in the studio. The features that will be available in 12.1 are definitely sufficient without me relying on a hope for an upgrade for the standard features I'd want.

[@Taetro]

absolutely. It's funny how a simple thing like grouping/macros can be so huge

[@remyvegamedia]

@@Taetro For real and there's just a handful of other features that could be added, which I think are plausibly attainable. But I think it's important to get what you're getting when it comes to gear and not buy with a hope for upgrades to be able to satisfy logistical needs. They may never come haha

[@Taetro]

I agree!! But I do get a sense with things like MPC and now Push that these devices are meant to be ever evolving. And Push updates being connected to Live updates make that even more of a sure thing

[@thegeenius]

definitely welcomed stuff,,- i'm not a "performer" on push 3 - strictly production but,, all of these are,, KEY ,, ! thanks for the full breakdown,, had no idea auto shift went That deep,, the midi & poly stuff,, - great

[@Taetro]

autoshift if a game changer for sure!!

[@foxcontrolmusic]

Thanks for the vid. Would you happen to know if you can rename a rack once made on Push3?

[@thecalver]

Finally usable! I found the omissions so annoying I couldn’t maintain focus 🎉

[@touchthatdial]

Great overview, thanks. I'm still on Live 11 Suite with Push 2 and have been waiting to see what happens with Push 3 and Live 12 before deciding whether to upgrade both Live and Push. These changes look like quite a big deal, especially fixing the select track on launch thing which is absolutely fckn infuriating and has been one of the reasons I've held off on making Push the centrepiece of my setup. That's long overdue. All the other additions look great, especially the autotune effect.

[@Taetro]

I agree!

[@dorijoe]

You're looking very happy on the cover image of this video. 😅

[@phantom_him]

The drum thing and the undo are such nice changes. Nothing's worse than having to undo 5000 eq moves in a Pro Q 3. I hate that.

[@johnnyvim8284]

Great video! Is select on launch option also available in push 2?

[@Taetro]

Since push 2 is just a controller, I believe that has always been possible as it is in Live’s settings

[@azimpradhan]

Great content, thank you for sharing. I was hoping there would be a section in your video about third party VSTs being available in standalone. Until this happens, I am happy with using Push 2 with my laptop.

[@Taetro]

I think Ableton's approach will be to develop their own Live native devices which will be compatible with Push, rather than ever include 3rd party support for Push 3. But Push 2 is getting some love in this update as well!

[@AntonKuznetsovMusic]

Can you rename racks?

[@JamesRussller]

Exciting times for Ableton users

[@Subfuture]

[@Tontonbeats]

I returned my Push standalone a week ago, these changes do make it better, but I would really like it if it relied even less on the computer. Not being able to save racks is so baffling to me. crafting patches and then having to do it again for every new project is just insane.

You can save Racks, you just hold the Save button and press the device name in the top row of soft buttons.

Finally. Push is getting close to reaching its potential and huge price tag. Better late than never

[@Marcustrh]

Not Ableton adding Knock features to stock fx. As soon as they introduce stem separation I’ll probably fully switch from StudioOne

[@Taetro]

I think there's too many (even free) options for stem separation so I would be surprised to see them implement it despite it getting added to literally every other major daw

[@freshkidblaze]

Does the drum sampler have a reverse?

[@bodhibeats8257]

Just pulled it up to check for you. It appears to not have a reverse, unless I’m missing it. Seems like a questionable omission. Would have been useful for sure!

REAL Question brother: if I am playing my midi keyboard and have existing notes already, how do I prevent my existing notes from getting deleted when I go to record new one? Hopefully someone can help me out

[@Taetro]

Turn on ‘overdub record’ - little plus sign at the top of Live

[@TheJgraham12345]

I really wish they would add a feature that would add an arp device to a track if you held shift -> repeat. The lack of immediate access to an arp is annoying.

[@Taetro]

you could create a default MIDI track with an arpeggiator on it! (or default live set with MIDI tracks preloaded with the arp)

[@tawfeeqm]

Please make lots lots more push3 videos

[@Taetro]

definitely will do!

[@DanielIvan707]

If you highlight the pad in drum rack does it automatically pitch it up the keyboard? Can you 16 level velocity? Does it have a reverse? Does it tell you the note the drum is in? I want to make the switch from Logic drum designer/mashine to live drum rack.

[@Taetro]

-you can pitch up a sample in drum rack or open a sample in Simpler to play it chromatically -yes on 16 level velocity -You can reverse any sample -You can use the tuner device to find the note of a drum I think all you want is available in drum rack!
