Ableton Forum

It's wonderful that they made it! - People asking for things really IS worthwhile, sometimes the companies do hear our requests.

It's time to update and upgrade my Push 3 to Ableton Live 12! and having this same old problem. :?

Ableton Push 3 is too advanced a machine to be using this primitive PC Web Browser based update system!
Standalone really should mean stands alone.

It has wi-fi of it's own, so it should be "Able ...

Sort By Favorites first would be extremely useful also!

Video Thoughts

(at some point the looper is switching between modes seemingly at random. why is it doing this?)

There are some parameters which can be seen in the Ableton PC user interface which do not show up at all on the Push 3?

The user interface of the Looper is incomplete on the Push 3 screen, notice in the Feature Request area I am asking for an improved UI!

Have you seen the looper control seemingly switching modes randomly? why is it doing this

Look into Synthstrom Deluge! now with SCREEN...

You may get OBS to work by using your HDMI screen output instead of your audio device! (It might handle it more easily.)

+1 this was also a handy feature with Sonic Foundry Acid!

Amazingly, something like the open source "Impro-Visor" Jazz AI software could be ported to M4L, and output rich MIDI arrangements

the current knob method of changing the Play / Rec / Overdub is clumsy, easy to get wrong, erasing your carefully built progress.

clearly labeled buttons would be better, and closer to hardware loopers (505, Kaoss Pad, EHX, etc)
Also buttons for reverse, and a button to return to standard 1x speed ...

Another thing: The keypad could turn into: volume fader bars, in the colors the tracks are!

(this is how volume is set on the venerable Tenori-On!)

AUTHORIZED! by using a mobile device instead of the PC.
Next time Push 3 was started up, Suite and M4L is active.

unfortunately, wasted a lot of time before trying that other option.


---- Edit: This is what almost worked ---

So, It's not the IP of my PC it wants, It's the IP of the Push ...

Thank you for this suggestion! What software tool might you suggest for doing this? on Windows 10 Home 64 bit

Of course, it is SO odd, because I've already exchanged song data between the PC and Push 3! It's just the Authorization which is drawing a blank


if both are on the same WiFi network ...

So far, I've tried MIDI syncing it with RC505 to record,

Deluge (btw - is there any way to do an "External Instrument" as a Drum Rack instead of an pitched instrument)

Q: For an external instrument ...

I've been using XLR -> 1/4 for my vocals, as I will hope to do in live shows.

I have set the loudest preamp setting, but - it's still not very loud? I have to use a compressor to make it really audible, and it isn't using much of the dynamic range of the .WAVs for sure.
