Re: Push 2 not lighting up ...

That could have been the cause after the initial problem I guess. Not sure what caused it to stop working before I moved it to a different USB port though. It's interesting that amere seems to have had something similar on the beta as well. Obviously it hasn't happened to everyone and he's also on a...

Re: Push 2 not lighting up ...

Thanks for posting that up mate. Turns out that was my problem as well. Obvious question is how did that happen to both of us? I've never touched that setup. Edit: Actually it was worse for me. I had 4 entries - 2 for my old Push which I sold and 2 for my Push 2. Once I deleted everything but one Pu...

Re: Push 2 not lighting up ...

Not in my case. I don't run an AV.

No response from support yet for me either.

Re: Push 2 not lighting up ...

Starting a day or so ago this has started happening on my Push 2. Not sure if it's related to the latest beta or not. I'm running 9.5 Suite + the 9.6b2. At one point Push updated its firmware and I followed the instructions on the screen. Now whenever I fire up Live, whether it be Suite or the Beta ...

Re: Windows 10.. Is it a lemon?

I'm running windows 10 as well and I haven't had any problems, apart from the odd drop out of audio on my Focusrite 2i4. Not in Ableton though.

Re: Using Browser on Push 2 To Load Samples

I just tried the same thing and you're right. If you're on audio track on Push 2 and hit Browse and then go to User Files | User Library you don't see any of the folders that contain audio files. If you do it from a MIDI track you can see and load them and if you hit Load it brings up the sample in ...

Re: PC Upgrade for Ableton Questions

I was curious about this myself after seeing your post so I dug around a bit. First thing I found is that Live does support hyperthreading so more cores will help. https://www.ableton.com/en/help/article/does-live-9-support-hyperthreading/ However the next thing I found is that it appears that it on...

Re: the ultimate "I love Ableton BUT..." thread

I'd love the ability to setup a keyboard shortcuts. In my day job I use a piece of software called voiceattack (http://www.voiceattack.com/) which allows me to use speech to trigger keyboard shortcuts. It's great. Much faster than clicking. Well it is when my wife isn't in the background yelling out...

Re: Push 2 white led consistent now or?

Mine are a bit inconsistent, but I'm not that worried about it.

However some of my pads don't feel the same. There are a couple that don't feel as firmly mounted as the others, particularly on the bottom row.

Re: Have I missed the boat on sales prices (for Live & Komplete)

Gabry another way of getting either Suite or Komplete on the cheap is to try and get a second hand copy of an older version and then buy an upgrade to the latest version. That's what I did to get my hands on Komplete 10. I found a seller who was selling Komplete 9 at a price that when combined with ...

Re: Reasons for keeping Push 1, please add yours

Early Christmas present! Thought it seemed strange.

I have to say having the waveform on the screen and the knobs to hand is a lot of fun on the Push 2. I never really spent much time playing with samples before, but blew a whole evening just noodling around with them last night.

Re: Reasons for keeping Push 1, please add yours

I'm afraid I'll have to report a reason to buy Push 2. My sincere apologies.

If you have a Standard license of Live 9 like I did, by buying Push 2 you also get a full Suite license as part of the package - at least in Australia. Very nice surprise. Thanks Ableton!

Re: Reasons for keeping Push 1, please add yours

I had no valid reason to buy Push 2 really. Push 1 was working fine for me.

Still traded my Push 1 last week though :D

I bought my Push 1 second hand for $400 and traded it for $330 off the price of Push 2 so I figure $70 for 6 months usage is a pretty good deal.
