Top 5 things every Ableton Push 2 beginner should understand

[@jaimeross7507]

March 28 2024.....Today we found Your video for our Youngest child. We found a Push2 at a pawn shop 2 weeks ago. YOU are a Angel 😇 sent to us ...because our child just gave up on it. What Proud Parents You must have....Please Never delete this.....and We Proudly Subscribe to YOU.... a Wonderful Unselfish KZbinr. ❤

[@PUSH4LIFE]

That’s awesome. Glad my tutorial is still helping people even after all of these years 🙏

[@sooperheep]

Whut😂

[@pierrepierre175]

Thank you, just got the Push 2 yesterday and I felt a little overwhelmed until I saw your channel. Job well done sir.

[@PUSH4LIFE]

Appreciate it Pierre.... now HAVE FUN!

[@m42martin]

This is the best intro tutorial that I've found so far. No rushing or skipping crucial points or showing off and bragging. Excellent! Please make more. Don't worry about how long they are; I would have gladly watched this vid if it was 3x the length. I'm subscribing buddy!

[@PUSH4LIFE]

Thanks for the lovely comment ;)

[@JMWilkes]

I've had my Push 6 months and tutorials didn't help until I found this one. Thanks a million!

[@PUSH4LIFE]

Love it.... thanks for sharing!

[@ePRmu]

I agree, I just got mine and this video helped more than any. Do you have any other beginner videos like this? Like a playlist or series

[@lesyrien]

Finally a clear introductory video. Many thx for that! I ve got the push, just starting with production. And sometimes, you just sit there with no idea what to do, or you get lost by testing things, not knowing anymore where you are after 2minutes. This is a clear methodical approach. Eager to get a go at it again tonight. Keep the tutorials going!

[@PUSH4LIFE]

Glad you enjoyed it Claude ;)

[@richardmondio7216]

I bought my Push one and then exchanged it for the Push 2 when it came out. I've seen several other videos by other teachers - The reason this is the best tutorial for me is that my brain works linearly. This video progresses sequentially step by step. Most other videos show the different features of the Push 2 in a scattered way to mostly demonstrate its capabilities leaving me confused about when to apply the features. You gave me hope... Thank you.😃

[@mattrussell9136]

The most useful tutorial I have found applying to those knowing nothing however full of enthusiasm and desperate to get started.

[@PUSH4LIFE]

+Matt Russell Thanks Matt!

[@ahartford5]

THANK YOUUUUU!!! I've been taking some beginner's online courses for Push, and every time I do so, I want to rip my hair out due to the fact the many educators, and of all calibers, often seem to skip over crucial basic information, and or don't piece the puzzle together in a fluid way. Thank you for piecing this together in a cohesive and comprehensive way along with sharing the fundamentals! For the first time in a long time, I'm excited! I've been intimidated by my Push for far too long. Finally putting this $800 to use!

[@PUSH4LIFE]

That's so awesome.... glad I could help 😁👌

[@enriquefigueroa2200]

OMG, this is great. I loved how well and clear you explain the basics for using Push 2. I've been looking for a tutorial just like this one and this exactly the one I needed to watch. Thank you for this!

[@PUSH4LIFE]

Glad you enjoyed it Enrique ;)

[@bmarz6021]

I learned more watching your video than I did after hours and hours with the manual and online. Thank you!

[@kennseidelin4166]

This guy is really something in the art of teaching beginners !

[@PUSH4LIFE]

Thanks Kenn 🙏

[@glenntaylor6749]

Thank you for communicating and articulating so well. And the way you regularly went back to remind us and summarize what we just learned was excellent. Many of the other ableton tutorials for beginners are incomprehensible. Your method of teaching is excellent. Thank you for keeping Ableton and Push and making music digitally , in my future. Great job.

[@viperviperviper2]

How can anybody dislike this video? It is just great knowledge explained in a very precise manner.

[@PUSH4LIFE]

+Derin Altan Thanks Derin 🤘🏼💯👍🏽

[@DjDadeo]

Its very nice and well explained. I just wish the pads were made a lot bigger (I do a bit of finger drumming) like the MK2 or even MK3 but its a great video and nice unit.

[@Automaticdonut]

Agreed, I would like to know if there is a way to turn off the auto loop my drummer is a very skilled one and doesn't want to do the loops, but since the pads are so small if he accidentally gets into another pad not lit up it stops the recording. We obviously just started using Push and were into the Maschine pads as well.

[@PUSH4LIFE]

+Punkie Brewster Not sure I understand what you mean?!

[@currentuserjade]

Derin, some people live to make other's lives miserable, even if it's just by clicking a dislike button. It's worse than being a troll. Thankfully, the number of people out there that actually appreciate videos like this one FAR outnumber the sad souls in this world that waste their life away for no reason.

[@bolivar1789]

You are a wonderful musician and a superb educator! I am so grateful. I got this thing 2 days ago and watching Ableton's first lesson on their channel, I felt like an analphabet person watching a video on " how to write an academic essay"! Thank you so much for taking the time to explain this to those of us who have no idea! They say that the real description of wealth is " how many lives you have been able to touch" . In that sense you surely are a very rich man. Thanks again!

[@PUSH4LIFE]

Appreciate it 🙂🙏

[@peterbenson4338]

Thanks for not taking the learning level of us PUSH 2 Newbies for granted! Big ups!

[@PUSH4LIFE]

+Peter Benson No worries Peter!

[@djnitetrain6171]

Gosh... i bought this thing two years ago and during down time tried to find tutorials on You Tube to help me get started and none helped. I couldn't even make a basic loop. Most videos they skip the most fundamental step as I am finding them here. Finally will be able to put this thing to use. Thanks for making this. I will be looking at your other videos too

[@mike58greenberg]

Thank you for a no nonsense, well put together tutorial!

[@PUSH4LIFE]

Glad you enjoyed it Mike!

[@dsmith3625]

wanted to add, what made your video the best is....before you pushed a button you explained what was going to happen. That's how you teach. most of these other Push instructors assume so they push buttons without explaining what they're doing. so again thank you for that. Continued success to you. AND ABOVE ALL. please create more videos.

[@PUSH4LIFE]

Hey Darryl, I really appreciate your feedback... it's always great to get an outside perspective on what you do, so thanks for that... and as for new content, I am in the middle of creating a course rhythm and finger drumming specifically for PUSH 2... hope for it to be available in a couple of months, so watch this space! All the best for now, P4L

[@jimmybefree]

Thank you! Finally someone who explains this thing from the beginning! I'm on the fence deciding if I want to add this tool to my set up and this video was very inspiring.

[@PUSH4LIFE]

;)

[@premelife726]

Peace, I've seen a lot of videos on how to use push 2 and all of them suck, Why? It's my opinion that individuals seem to show off on how fast they can use push 2, for example: They talk to fast, move through parameters to fast, never show clearly on what buttons to press, never zoom in on areas that are being explained, most already have a beat preload and keep playing the beat over and over when not necessarily need, etc. You my friend, you took your time and explained everything very well and I appreciate that! It does not matter to me how long the video is, as long as I'm learning, that's all that matters... I really like your style of teaching! Continue to build and add on... Peace!

[@PUSH4LIFE]

Thanks so much.... that means a lot ;)

[@wiaggioe]

Amazing tutorial for beginners... and not so beginners. The best I've found. Very concise and practical... Now moving on to your next course Well done!

[@PUSH4LIFE]

Thanks for all the support!

[@CaseyWindom]

Oh man, God bless you!!! You have helped me so much! I have not found another video that appeals to the very beginner so much as yours and I can not express how grateful I am for your videos, thank you!! You are a great teacher

[@PUSH4LIFE]

Knowing that I am helping people like yourself makes it all worthwhile.... enjoy your PUSH Casey!

[@CaseyWindom]

@@PUSH4LIFE Thank you! 😊😊

[@Auxend]

thanks for kicking the basics, and a nice bit of theory infusion :) I learned more from half of this video than from all of the formal Ableton ones for push 2

[@PUSH4LIFE]

+Auxend Wow, that's a BIG compliment... thank you so much ;)

[@agnosdik]

+Auxend Totally agree with you. I'm joining to him to say thank you. Everything look clear you go to the essential and the time to explaining well with the music theory in plus it's just perfect. Something very hard to find normally. Keep going like this :) and thank you again.

[@PUSH4LIFE]

agnosdik I am really glad you enjoyed the video! Nice to know there are people like you who not only learn something from it but take the time to write such lovely thoughtful comments :) Thanks a lot ;)

[@trinitythedivine]

Its true...I started watching Abeltons...immediately switched to yours because it was more helpful.👌😉🎉

[@claudiasnyder6184]

Whow I am so motivated. I searched for good tutorials. All where sh.....t. But this here is absolutely the best. I am a total beginner in Push 2. After your explanation I got my first track. Well a bit wire, but it is the first one via Push 2. Big thank you. I am so exited, that I will search for more tutorials from you. Big thank you.

[@PUSH4LIFE]

I love it Claudia... glad I could help 😊🙏

[@anzatzi]

"move vertically every three keys". The push scale secret revealed. i have seen several videos on intervals on push but this is the only one that actually explained the layout understandably. Next, how do you invert cords?

[@PUSH4LIFE]

+anzatzi Great compliment... thanks.... I will be doing a whole series on harmony in the near future, so make sure to stay tuned ;)

[@jakeilovestuffforreal5910]

Lol same. I literally played with that layout for like an hour and couldn't figure out the trick. I still find that layout to be very alien. Also I find it's hard to translate any piano knowledge. (chords etc) Any good tricks for me?

[@muaddib667]

Can't you change the layout to 4?

[@rajahSufiji]

After ordering my push 2 and not being totally confident I could use the thing when it gets here. I watched this video and now my mind is at ease, I look forward to its arrival.

[@PUSH4LIFE]

That's awesome ;)

[@takashikojima4849]

thank u so much for this video. U are a very good teacher. I was clueless about how to use the push half an hour ago. now i kinda have an idea. All thanks to u :)

[@PUSH4LIFE]

+Takashi Kojima Love it 🤘🏼💯👍🏽

[@corycrews707]

+PUSH4LIFE. This video is extremely helpful...I've used Reason, Mpc Studio Black, Maschine. For my skillset and workflow Push 2 seems to give me a bit of each of these....... I'm learning about the unit so I can hit the ground running. One question though, what kinds of files does Ableton support and what version software ie; Suite, Intro, Standard etc comes with Push 2?

[@corycrews707]

[@davejones4740]

This first tutorial helped me so much. I searched others, but your tutorials are very well put together and clear video and audio.

[@PUSH4LIFE]

Thanks Dave. Much appreciated! 🖖🏿👽

[@bobsyeruncle4841]

you explained that very well thanks

[@PUSH4LIFE]

You're welcome ;)

[@papi_roisterous]

Massive! Thank You! Agreed with one of the comments below about how i have learned more then the actual Ableton tutorials!! This starts at the very bottom and teaches you the basics. Big Help!! Please please please keep them coming!!! Thank You

[@PUSH4LIFE]

+Papi Roisterous Papi! Thanks for your message.. in the process of recording a new video right now so stay tuned :)

[@golf-freq]

You are doing a great service to mankind -- subbed!

[@PUSH4LIFE]

+golf-freq Awesome! Thanks a lot!

[@GraceAskew]

thank you for creating this! very helpful. In your mind, what are the best ways for a solo singer/songwriter like myself to use the Push in live performances? What could the Push add to my shows to spice things up?

[@PUSH4LIFE]

Great question Grace :) Hard to answer thought without knowing your songs and stage set up etc... what comes to mind immediately though is for you to use it to create live beats that you could then effect using the knobs at the top - applying filters, delays etc to create movement within them over time... another thing you could do is to have your songs set up within ableton scenes that you could then control with push, switching from one scene to the next... what this means is that you could be a lot more free when it comes to arrangement onstage... you could extend or shorten certain passages impromtu if you know what I mean... that's just a few things I can think of without knowing exactly what it is you do... hope that helps!

Thank you, this video helped me out so much and was my next step to learning the basics of the Push 2. So many of the tutorials make too many assumptions that the user already has the basic understanding of this device. I feel that now I can finally move on to a more advanced tutorial. Thanks again for your time and for your very thorough explanation technique.

[@PUSH4LIFE]

Glad I could help... enjoy your PUSH!

thankyou so much bro, thats n awesome tutorial

[@PUSH4LIFE]

My pleasure.... ;)

[@jexmartinez9343]

Thank you so much. Your 6 part beginners tutorial are a most for those starting using Push. By the way, I am using Push 1. I learned right away because of the way you show Push on the screen and because you go back and fort to Live. I know nothing about reading music, but I can push buttons. Amazing job. I am also a subscriber.

Because of the quality of this lesson, I purchased the Push 2 - thank you

[@PUSH4LIFE]

Thats awesome Stephen! I am sure you won't regret it!

[@pandemic7]

Great, -$800 from the bank account now. Awesome video, my friend.

[@PUSH4LIFE]

Have fun!

[@Eclipseunderscore]

Same! I've been looking at it for months thinking I might go back to Sonar cakewalk at some point making this thing useless but after watching this I will never leave Ableton.

[@TheGannoK]

I just got mine brand new for 600

[@Tyetheberious]

Likewise...bit it.

[@robertdejesus7527]

Ordered my ableton push 2 a week ago havent gotten yet. But ur video will deff help when I start using it. Thank you

[@PUSH4LIFE]

You are going to have SO MUCH FUN!!!!

[@PabloFernandesbr]

love you from now on. lets be BFF.

[@PUSH4LIFE]

How about youtube buddies for now :P

[@PabloFernandesbr]

PUSH4LIFE Deal. No really, you helped me out a lot yesterday with this video. I've seen many for beginners but all of them are either for newcomers to push or new to live. I'm newbie in both and with the mind shaped by Cubase and those traditional daw. Live is so confusing for guys like me at first. (Still is for me actually)

[@PUSH4LIFE]

There is a bit of a learning curve for sure, but I am positive your time and energy invested will not be in vain ;)

[@am5790]

Great tutorial with clear and practical tutorial. Very helpful. Thank you.

[@PUSH4LIFE]

Thanks Ammanuel!

[@1shotmusic316]

@PUSH4LIFE I just got my Push 2 working(updates etc) and I learned quite a bit watching your video! I will be sure watch your other videos because you rock! Thanks!!

[@PUSH4LIFE]

No problem whatsoever ;)

[@GregAdamsEternal]

Thanks for this overview. The workflow looks really well crafted.

[@PUSH4LIFE]

Thanks Greg!

[@djreggie7]

Wow! This was incredibly helpful becuse I was getting stuck on this entire process. Now I can actually start making tracks. Thank you for making g and sharing this tutorial.

[@alexmartinez9778]

Look...this is practical. Period. Worth it's weight in gold

[@MrBlueHaze]

If you go into Ableton Live preference >midi or metronome page you can set up count in from 1 bar to 4 bars like any other daw.

[@PUSH4LIFE]

Thanks!

[@JohnRobinsonTV]

Awesome Video! I will definitely check out more. Thanks!

[@PUSH4LIFE]

Glad you liked it ;)

[@L2ARZ]

Great Video. Got The push yesterday and helped to get going. Very well explained. Thanks

[@PUSH4LIFE]

Awesome.... ;)

[@juliusway]

Just got hold of a Push 2, this is an awesome tutorial to get started thanks!

[@DeejayWilly]

one of the most easiest way to teach us how to start with ableton and push well done bro defiantly subscribed thumbs up

[@PUSH4LIFE]

Awesome!

[@silasch11]

An amazing video, thank you very much, you are a great tutor! Could you please try to help me here a little? Once I finished recording and everything and pushed "Note" to see those shiny scale lights, the little white dot on the left of the Push 2 started to jump up down and therefore ruined the pad sound......any idea for the solution? Thank you very much, really.

[@PUSH4LIFE]

Thanks... not sure about your problem... best contact support!

[@IvorKloo]

Thank you so much for taking your time to help us enjoy our time! You truly explain things in a comprehensive structure; building on the steps and review where we have got to along the way. Thank you.

[@PUSH4LIFE]

You're very welcome David!

[@OH8STN]

Such and amazing tutorial. I wish you'd fo more! Thanks for sharing.

[@ClauGutierrezY]

Hey, thanks for that. I think this is one of the most straight forward, crystal clear tutorial on Ableton Live/Push 2 on YT right now. Thanks for your time! I have one question. Every time I stumble upon some new pad-based device I wonder if Is there a way to generate a template in wish every time I want to program a drum sequence, let's say, the HHs, the snare and the bass drum get recorded on different tracks instead of everything in one track as in this video? I think we all should agree on the fact that working that way, we get ready for a more accurate mix down at the end of every project. Thanks in advance for your answer!

[@PUSH4LIFE]

If you "unfold" the drum rack it practically has its own mixer where you have everything separate... not sure if this is what you are looking for... hope it helps!

[@carlbdfrd]

Thank you for your channel. I bought a push 2 recently and this channel I know will help me slot. Thank you

[@PUSH4LIFE]

Glad I can help..... enjoy your PUSH!

[@dadykasa-vubu5209]

bro, u made it so clear, trust me, thank you very much. Not easy to make those stuffs operational and tailored to the way our brain works in creation time. Thanks. I am still fighting to feel completely free.

[@PUSH4LIFE]

Glad you enjoyed it! Btw, I think you might enjoy my new podcast... musicsoundsandsilence.com

[@linlinhuang9855]

Thank you for going step and step and being clear and thorough in your explanations!

[@PUSH4LIFE]

No worries :D

[@anilyazar_]

do i need a external soundcard to use this?

[@PUSH4LIFE]

HI Neil, not unless you want to have any inputs or multiple outputs...

[@anilyazar_]

i think you are the best push 2 teacher on you tube. please more episodes... thanks for your effort

[@PUSH4LIFE]

Wow, I really appreciate that Neil... am working on a course at the moment all about rhythm and finger drumming basics for beginners.... might be something you will enjoy... hope to make it available in a couple of months... all the best for now, P4L

[@RR-ok4wz]

I just got my Push 2 a few days ago, but this was PERFECT for a noob like me. Thank you!

[@BassBajo]

This video is absolutely awesome for a beginner like myself. Very detailed from scratch. Thank you very much.

[@PUSH4LIFE]

My pleasure!

[@ivor1266]

Great Video. I started with the official videos on Ableton's web site and did not really understand what was happening. Your video made it very clear. I shall be watching more of your content.

[@PUSH4LIFE]

Glad I could help.... enjoy your PUSH 🤩👍

[@40033mgr]

Great video, ......after trying to listen and read and watch dozens of others....this is by far the best.......thank you

[@PUSH4LIFE]

Thanks Mike... much appreciated!

[@maximejunique4499]

I just bought the Push 2 as a total noob in search for a more "natural" way to make music and your tuto is awesome

[@PUSH4LIFE]

Thanks Maxime.... glad it helps 😀🙏

[@kentcourtney5535]

This was very helpful to me. Thank you for making this. I notice that you have a latency between the volume levels in the vocal tracks and the words that are spoken. I have had trouble trying to add vocals with this latency issue in my recordings. Is there a way to correct this? Thanks!

[@PUSH4LIFE]

+Kent Courtney Hi kent, I have actually started to record my vocals seperately onto a Zoom audio recorder and add it in later... makes everything so much simpler for what I do and also keeps the vocal audio out of the ableton project file which makes for a better tutorial video in my opinion ;)

[@annabellewatson9325]

Great! Thanks for taking the time to make that. Not many people know how to go right back to basics absolute beginners.

[@PUSH4LIFE]

Thanks Annabelle... hope it helped clarify some stuff ;)

[@GaryStockton]

This is an invaluable resource. I've been struggling to get started making my tracks with the Push.

[@PUSH4LIFE]

Glad I could help Gary! You might want to check out my new Series "Making Music With Ease on Ableton PUSH 2" that I will be releasing in June 2017. It goes way more in depth on these topics ;)

[@gaboaaa23]

so does this help if i dont know how to combine the white keys with the black keys? Becaue ma productions are a little limited in sound, because i only can play the white keys. Thanks

[@PUSH4LIFE]

Does what help?

[@gaboaaa23]

the push device

[@PUSH4LIFE]

Yes

[@mpolo2012]

I'm subscribing!!!! One thing I like about you , is that you have a good pace, not to fast or to slow. And one thing that you do that most people slip up on,is that you catch your steps exactly as you do them. a lot of times trainers show stuff and they inadvertently go thru a bunch of usually motion steps that they don't talk about in what they are presenting. What is the wooden board that the push is sitting on? I am a member of the Rocky Mountain Synthesizer meetup 1/4 of the 400 people are Ableton users !! And run a facebook user group page Canon City Ableton User group. Thanks for the great video Mark Allen Crue

[@PUSH4LIFE]

+Mark Crue Hi Mark, thanks for your detailed insightful comments... the board the PUSH is on is actually a plastic laptop stand from IKEA... cost: €3 :) Thats cool that you are part of the Rocky Mountain Synthesizer Group... lived in Denver for a couple of months in 2009 when I was performing there with Cirque Du Soleil... I lovvvved it there ;)

[@kuru_san1500]

Thank you so much i have had my push since this christmas, failed to use it correctly much at all for a while, but with this video you helped so much. Thanks!!!!!

[@PUSH4LIFE]

[@matthewclarke6624]

Really a great video! Concise and well explained,and you reviewed each of the points you covered at the end. Well done and very useful. I've had the Push for just a little while and still learned some really important points from the video. Thanks for sharing.

[@PUSH4LIFE]

Glad I could help Matthew 😁👍

[@JustinAzeiMusic]

im gonna buy push 2 . but im new in producing music. i thought it will be harder to create. But this video is very very good. Now im waiting for push even more. Thanks

[@PUSH4LIFE]

Awesome Justinas ;)

[@MrKneeckers]

very nicely done. it ties in session mode which had been a bit confusing to me until i watched your video. thanks!

[@PUSH4LIFE]

[@nurseratchetho478]

Thank you! been debating getting one and this video made it really helpful to choose ableton.

[@PUSH4LIFE]

+NurseRatchetHo I am sure you won't be disappointed 🖖🏿👽

[@thebigkitty]

Good stuff. Just busted it out of the box and this helped me transition nicely from the APC40. Thanks for taking the time to make vids!

[@PUSH4LIFE]

Glad I could help! Have fun with your PUSH ;)

[@alanseviour6856]

Thanks P4L I just bought a Push 2 and this is an excellent intro and a fast start - really inspired I'm off to create my first song! looking forward to more from you.

[@PUSH4LIFE]

Awesome!

[@Thefamiliaguy]

Very good video. I am considering getting this device. Reminds me a little of garage band on my Ipad with all the scales and the looping. Which version of ableton live software do you recommend to get that will also come with many of the good sounds to load into it? This might sound like a stupid question but Is there any kind of Guitar interfacing through this device to pick up some of the effect sounds to play off the guitar into the software?

[@PUSH4LIFE]

Hi Clyde, thanks for the compliments ;) I use the full blown ableton 9 suite which I love... I am not sure what comes with the other versions so best check the ableton website for infos on that... as far as plugging in a guitar, that isn't possible... but you can plug it into your soundcard if you have one with inputs and then manipulate the sounds from the PUSH if you want.... hope that helps!

[@playnamz78]

Nice. Very thorough, truly for beginners and that patience to do the recap at the end was truly impressive. Question - does Push 2 create arpeggiators or at least, help make that process of using arpeggiators within Live easier?

[@AkborVideo]

I actually got a Push 2 this week. This video helped a lot, thanks! Ron, Holland

[@PUSH4LIFE]

+Ronald Kleijn Thanks Ron. Glad I could help 🖖🏿👽

[@carlostrujillosoundsarts6108]

great video! im so motivated! just did every step!! but! I could not export my excercise...i created the files but no sound in...

[@PUSH4LIFE]

You probably need to select everything in the timeline first!

[@carlostrujillosoundsarts6108]

You were right! Thanks!

[@NJ-qd8jv]

is there a way you can use push 2 in arrangement view? Im not really a fan of the session view

[@PUSH4LIFE]

As far as I am aware you can record into arrangement view with one of the latest versions of Live... hope that helps!

[@NJ-qd8jv]

thanks man!

[@Baboonery_]

the thing about the Push is to lay down jams and ideas (into session "loops") and arranging after composition

Hello, I am attempting to use Ableton live 9 like a sound effect generator. I want to hit buttons on my elgato streamdeck xl using Midi and trigger the playback of sound effects audio files i have in ableton while in session view. Do you have a video I can watch that can explain how i can do that and how to map the buttons from the streamdeck xl using midi?

Thank you so much. I have been out of the game for such a longtime that when i said, ok lets focus back on my passion, i found out so many different stuff that i was completely lost. I used to use the simple boss dr-5 (hahaha). After a weekend of researching, my choice to buy ableton push 2 (which include intro) was about 98%. Tour vid was spot on to make my decision now 100%. In due time i will update to suite for sure. Thanks and you have now a new subscriber 😃

Hi! Thanks for a really great introductory video! I noticed on the side that you also own a maschine from native instruments. Have you done any videos on the maschine as well? I am only asking because I was determined to buy the maschine studio but looking at your videos of the push2 I am thinking of switching to push instead. Any thoughts on that would be welcome. Thx again.

+EjectedAlready Hey there, I have the 1st generation Maschine and for 90% of the time I have only ever used it as a midi controller. Ever since buying the PUSH 2 I hardly use it at all. The PUSH 2 is so well integrated with Live that there really is no comparison. And I just could never get into the software that drives Maschine. Hope that helps!

Thank you so much for making this video. It's been the most helpful beginner video I've found, after being very frustrated with the way other people seems to just jump past the small details. Thank you for taking the time to do this. I'd pay you to teach me in person if we were in the same place.
