Ableton Push 1 Tutorial Part 2: Making Beats

Part 2 of our Ableton Push tutorial series is about how to make beats with Ableton Push.

Very well done simply explained. Easy to understand thx

This tutorial was terrible for me when I was first getting started, there was so much terminology that I was unfamiliar with, but after experimenting and trying to understand I've finally got it and I'm able to explain it to my composition students. Ableton folks you could really do with creating some resources for music teachers and students to break down the language, or create some tutorials tested with real people.

how awesome, there is a box of oblique strategies on the desk! Props AbletonInc

Later this night: djcyph from the Ableton forum told me that you have to press and hold the Quantize Button first, AND THEN the pad you want to quantize separately :)

Probably not the best place to ask, but is it possible to use this method of drum recording with Push with VSTs like NI Damage?  I'd really like to be able to use the step sequencing and pads with separate VSTs, so I want to double check before buying.

thank u for the quick answer. that sounds great!!

[francescoNemesi]

would like to see Live on screen while you work with Push to see how the software reacts to the hardware changes.

I've got a question to every push user. I already programmed a drum rack inside an instrument rack that has several macros controlling the parameters. My question: Does Push automatically recognize the macros and map them to the knobs on the controller or is it possible to map them to the controller. Would really appreciate if anybody could answer me this question. Thank u ;-)

Little confused on "use the grid buttons to variate the frequency of repeating drum notes"? As in you can change the pitch? Or did you mean to put change in timing?

[arsonfire]

Hi. Is it possible to use this in logic pro x? How many gigabytes is there in it, and finally how much money does it cost.☺

[Dawidek]

How come the pads don't light up in red while recording ?

[jglightbody]

Is the ABLETON banner/poster available to buy that's over your left shoulder?

[wildamerican]

Can I use these individual drum samples in separate tracks or do they need to be in one track?

[BMXzach]

I wish it came in the color of MacBook Pros. That would be sick af

hello everyone...just bought ABLETON PUSH 1 ...and i have REASON 11...i cannot get the TRANSPORT to connect from REtouch software...

question is...how the hell do you connect the TRANSPORT to reason...when i do it both ways or which ever way it goes...no communication whatsoever

can someone send me a video for PC (NOT MAC) on how to do this...FEB 2020

4:20 is not working for me. No matter if I press the pad or not, when I press the Quantize Button all midi notes in the clip are getting quantized. Bug? Feature?

[jasonsaliou]

I'm in doubt, i've had my MPC 2500 for about two years. Haven't really achieved a lot with it and don't always feel like switching it on. I'm starting to feel like i'd be more active if i'd be using something like push. Could anybody here maybe give me some pro's/cons on selling the mpc and crossing over into push?

[rippingonyoutubers]

does push requires a drum machine to operate??
answer me please because I need the push hardware

[arav]

for a video about a drum machine this video does not have background music

[gvfq]

No offense but isn't mouse + keyboard (and optional drum pads) easier and more powerful?
