Re: Push 3 "Arrangement View" Concept/Mockup

Looks great, I imagined just the same. I have a funny feeling that it is in the works but not ready yet. Live 12, we are looking at you! I would hope its not required to buy a Live 12 update. Push 3 (especially the standalone) is a nice penny and I would think something like that should be free esp...

Re: Can't connect Korg Minilogue to Ableton Live 11

I've had my KORG minilogue for some time now but I've not been able to properly connect it to ableton live 11. I am able to control ableton's sounds using its keyboard, but none of the knobs have any effect on the sound. How do I connect it so that I'm able to record what I'm playing on the minilog...

Re: Mixing in mono – need som help please

Hi! I'm trying to get better in mixing in mono, but I find it a little hard. I use a lot of synths from Serum, Massive etc. and I think many of those get too quiet in the mix then I turn on mono. It sounds to me that the presets are too wide, so I'm wondering if there's a good solution to fix this?...

Re: Any tips to get the master loud enough?

Arrangement actually has a lot to do with it. It’s easier to get sparser songs loud so things like limiters and compression have room to recover, compared to a really busy song with a lot going on all the time. Honestly though it’s hard to say without hearing your song what to suggest to improve. T...

Re: Push 3 Install Packs

It would be good to sync PC and Push 3 so all packs are one both. My guess is this is probably a future goal but probably a good bit off as there is still M4L compatibility issues. I'm thinking they will probably at some point get most compatibility issues fixed, create some new standards for makin...

Re: Is development on previous Push models abandoned?

:roll: I have a Push 1 & 2 and I have a question about the development of all the Push versions. Are the added features to Push 3 also mirrored to the previous Push versions? The reason I ask is that I (maybe erroneously) recall the Crop Audio clip feature being added to Push 3 in the release no...

Re: Ableton quantization - I'm never on time help !

I've never been able to figure out Ableton quantization. I've tried right clicking and quantizing. I've tried setting the default launch quantization (1/8, 1/16, 1/16T etc.). I can never get beats to sound reasonable. I don't want to go through and meticulously move each item to be on time. I have ...

Re: P3 pad sensitivity - Honest opinions?

Is there anyone that owns all 3 Push models that can give an honest opinion on the Push3 pad sensitivity and playability for Drums and Instruments? The videos that I've seen suggest that the pads are a LOT better than previous models and this alone is something that might entice me into upgrading. ...

Re: 15 Ways To Make Your Bland Songs Slap

Not really a tip but I find listening to the loop for a bit will give you some ideas. I find I have a ton of bland loops but after listening to them and getting it in your head, the loop will often tell you where it need to go. Are more sounds needed? Are less sounds needed? Could a sound be improve...

Re: Add Compression/FX on Incoming Signal

Easiest way is to just use Automatic monitoring mode. This is usually set to default. The main two things to keep in mind is that you will want to turn off "Direct monitoring" in your audio interface. (Note this might not be called Direct monitoring in your interface, but this is the abili...

Re: Add Compression/FX on Incoming Signal

I’d like to add some gentle compression on an incoming vocal track. Hoping to add an LA-2A plugin on vocals during recording. Going cross-eyed trying to figure out the routing. Any tips on how to do this? Are you asking how to use a hardware compressor for recording or using a plugin to monitor sig...

Re: M4L Real-Time Formant Shifting?

Would be nice. You can get a similar effect with Complex Pro Warping algorithm but I dont think it is exactly the same thing. Autotune does this.

Re: my "hide tracks" work around

this might already be a known way to work around this, but I started doing it in a few projects and thought I would share. Basical, your basic tracks that eventually go unused. In pro tools I was always used to deactivating and hiding these tracks so when I had a cluster of them in Live it got anno...

Please create an oscilloscope device, one that expands like Spectrum, and can set the window time.

Cheers

More "real" instrument presets.

This is more for Push 3 and using it for live shows and I'm referring to Suite. Suite has a pretty good preset library and is good for synths. But it is lacking for certain categories like Pop Brass sections and maybe Organs. Basically things a live Keyboard player would use for shows. The included ...
