Re: Push 2 - will it kick start my creative juices ?

There is a learning curve like with anything, but at the same time this will stimulate your mind to think in different ways (at least, I feel it would have that benefit since it would be putting you outside of your comfort zone). The main idea or concept if you will behind Push is that it is intend...

Push 2 - will it kick start my creative juices ?

Hello I've had Live since v6 (now on 9 Suite), and have dabbled with it but still consider myself a relative novice. Push 2 seems quite interesting - both as compositional tool (and ? also for performance). I rarely get any tracks completed (and, like most folk, have many other distractions in my li...

Re: A few hrs left before 20% discount expires - questions !

As I originally stated, my trusty old DAW (built in 2006/7, Asus P5K-E board, Intel E8600 cpu) has hardware (Yamaha sw1000 soundcard plus plugstation with PLG cards !) which I still use & can't run on anything later than Win XP. Ditto Cubase SX2. My Powercore DSP system won't run on Win 8. I may...

Re: A few hrs left before 20% discount expires - questions !

Sadly XP is still the basis of my main DAW, as I have hardware I use a lot & love, which only runs on XP. I expect this will be the last version of Live to run on XP. However I do have a "2nd" DAW i5 laptop running Win 7 64bit. The temptation of all that comes with Suite proved to grea...

A few hrs left before 20% discount expires - questions !

I have 3 hours to decide whether to go for 20% discount upgrade from v6 t v9 ! Will Live 9 be the last version supporting Win XP ? I know Abelton probably haven't said anything about this - but I suspect this is likely to be the case .. Also is the audio quality of Live 9 any different / improved fr...

Re: Default controller mapping for Live instruments eg. O2 ?

Thanks

Reason specifically states use factory preset 2 on the O2.

I can't see reference to any O2 preset to use for Live (in the detailed Live midi controller reference).

I've tried them all but no response from Live devices...

Default controller mapping for Live instruments eg. O2 ?

Hi Wrestling with the 9.1 demo. I have an old M-Audio O2, which I noticed is a supported controller surface, so I assumed some mapping would already have been done in Live. I have loaded Operator, and the keys play fine. But turning the rotary encoders on O2 doesn't make Operator respond e.g. filter...

Re: Live + Push for breakbeat mashing ?

I should say that I would be at the bottom of a very steep learning curve, both with Live & Push. I have Live 6, but never really got to grips with it (partly because didn't spend enough time with it). So am pondering whether to really go for it & try to create music with Live 9 + Push ... a...

Re: Live + Push for breakbeat mashing ?

Wow - that seems impressive, but quite deep. Is it easy to get to grips with ?

Can my original question be dealt with using Push alone (e.g. no PXT-Live) ?

Live + Push for breakbeat mashing ?

Hi Thinking of investing in Live 9 update & Push. Can this combination be used for playing with breakbeat samples on the fly e.g. chopping, stuttering etc. ? I know Push is not really set up for use with audio, but presumably something could be done with Live's sample player(s) in the Session vi...

Maschine vs Abelton Live 9 + Push vs.... ?

Hi I am seriously considering taking a leap into a controller/performance hardware + software package to get my long-dormant creative juices flowing again. I can get Live 9 Suite + Push at discount until Jan (£628), and it works on Win XP (which my main DAW is still running, although I also have an ...
