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

Great for synth programmers and audio scientists.

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 ...

Re: Change of the hardware - Preventing problems with licensing

Live is already authorized so I doubt it will cause problems. Each Live license comes with two authorizations. If Live is only installed on this pc, you're good. If it isn't the only computer and replacing the graphics requires a new authorization, you can explain the situation and ask for a new au...

Re: More collection colors?

With the Push 3 out, I'm guessing Ableton is working on a browsing enhancement to make browsing for stuff in Push Standalone easier. I'm guessing in 12 we will probably see tags (even though they hinted earlier that they thought users wouldn't be interested). Maybe on the light end, just enhanced co...

Re: Intel is shutting down NUC

I will say also that after using Push 3 in standalone version this weekend, I haven't had much issues with CPU overload after working on songs from a practical standpoint. It seems that Ableton engineered most of their synths to be CPU light anyways, so I don't think CPU upgrades will be that much o...
