Ha! What's funny if I had noise in my home studio and I pulled up your video to see if I had eliminated it. Took me a second to realize it was in the recording.
I know!!! I’d love to make more push 3 videos but this was a sponsored thing with a loaned unit and it was sent back months ago. I had it long enough to develop an opinion and learn it but…. I just don’t have one anymore. Sorry to disappoint
Thanks for saying that man. It’s alway tricky whenever projects like this comes up… Should I make a review, a detalied wakthrough, actually using it, comparing it with something else? Glad you liked it!
I'm happy to see, that you are just fine. This makes me very happy. Did not saw your vids for quite a time and to see, that your health state looks really good, makes me happy. Stay healthy and thanks for your videos.
thank you for the video. thats the best presentation so far about the Push 3. if i may give you a little tip. I love using the waves NS1 Noise surpressor to get rid of the white noise from the Mic ;)
Thanks! I’m aware… I must’ve accidentally disabled my noice remover completely before exporting… not the right mix either. I learn by my mistakes, thanks for the heads up
Thank you for the support! This is a loan unit, let’s see if I decide to pick it up or not but I’ll try to include it in another video somehow before it goes back :)
Love that you just dive straight into it. I ordered the controller version, but you have me wishing I woulda splurged on the stand-alone. I guess I'll get in line for the upgrade kit!
Yeah, I felt l Ike I had to make a video of actually using it! Getting the controller version might be the real power move. No one knows where ableton will go with the upgradability in the future. Good luck my man!
Great video. Now if I only liked how Ableton Live works. The hardware is great. This sounds like a great tool for Live users who have a session view centric workflow. I will celebrate from afar for Ableton Live fans but that’s all I can do. It won’t change my life. While I have a Live 11 Standard license, it isn’t my tool of choice.
Great video! Is it just me or do the drums knock pretty hard? Sounds like they‘ve got a good amount of punch. Will have to take a closer look into this one. Also, i really like the fact that you can switch parts and update the unit. Makes this one really attractive and sustainable.
Handier? I don't know... I think they are pretty different from one another. Push 3 is the more capable device in general and the workflow is great once you're used to it. Maschine+ is still one of my favourite devices but this one is 100% up there. I also think Ableton will keep adding cool stuff in future firmware versions that makes it even more powerful
I have been using Ableton Live since v8 and Push 2 since 2015. I like both, but for me this isn't enough to make me spend $2000 or even to change from PUSH 2. You did make it look cool though. However, I am using my PUSH 2, Ableton and MPC X SE together with great success. It is easier to get more done but harder to stop working since I got the MPC XSE because I am having way to much fun. It is crazy what I can do with my set up which also includes hardware synths.
I'm all for it even though I'm a Logic user but I just don't have $2k at the moment and disappointed that only gives you the basic version of Live and not at least the middle tier (standard I think)
I feel you, middle tier would have been much cooler. I’m also a Logic user and I use pretty much a only 3rd party plugins. Since Push doesn’t support 3rd plugins, with entry level Ableton I’d only have 4 synths… so I’d also have to upgrade Ableton as well (and still would have any of the other plugins I already own). That shit all adds up. I think the prices are fair, just don’t want to have to drop a few hundred more at the same time.
You can get Ableton intro in a cereal box at this point. $2k device should get you the “standard” version of the required software, minimum. Clown move to be honest. (But the Push looks amazing of course).
I have that chop and swing pack and a push2. That pack wont show up on the push2 when I browse packs. I have to load it from the computer with my mouse. Any thoughts?
Im planning to buy my first push controller, it really looks cool and seems like will simplify producing tracks. But it might sound dumb but i have been using a midi controller with 49 keys since past 3 years and havent had any experience in drum machines or button midis. Can someone answer my question on how do you play chords on this device? Like how do i get the piano layout so i can play notes on this? Is it a learning curve if you are coming from a traditional midi controller?
Great video! I see the MPC XSE in the background. If you could only keep the XSE or the Push 3 which would it be? I know they are different workflows but I would appreciate your opinion. Thank you!
Well… I’d have to keep the MPC. I’m so used to the workflow and everything that it wouldn’t make sense to let go of that. Push 3 is an exciting and awsome piece and I think it could replace the MP if I wanted to make the switch. The MPE functionality and the battery are huge pros and there aren’t that many cons but… The MPC is great too. It’s all great! For real
Yeah, I'm trying out different ways to do this in the new home studio and I honestly thought this would be better than it is. I might have to go back to the lav mic in the future...
Can you explain how you load samples to audio tracks from your user library? I can’t click on my user library when I hit the plus button and then device. Clicking the jog wheel does nothing. I could only load samples to simpler.
Make an audio track, just a default one. Go to the device page (or maybe the clip view) and click the reload button (two arrows in a circle, between the plus and minus) A bit weird but it works :)
Q. transferring files - wifi so far i've only seen moving files via wifi from ableton on computer to push 3 as in side ableton there's a "push folder" to drop stuff in. So ... only between abletlon installs..?? not anywhere else on your computer.. not a phone or blank computer/ipad/phone without ableton?
I was really hoping you'd be posting on this! As someone who just bought a Force, but could probably still return it, I'd love to hear your thoughts on how they stack up? Do you miss the Force's bigger and touch sensitive screen, e.g. when correcting notes or entering text? Do you think Akai or Ableton have the better instruments and effects? Also, how do you find the sensitivity on the pads, is it easy to get the velocity you want in note mode - I'm struggling a bit with that on the Force? So many questions...!!
Let me start somewhere :) I haven’t used Push much for a while but since I’m so used to the MPC’s, the big touchscreen is definitely nice. The way midi ending works on Push 3 is really well done and just a tiny bit more fidelity than on the Force. Entering text is definitely a lot easier on a touch screen. The quality of the content is really a subjective thing and it’s hard to pick a favorite… The pads on Push3 are the most sensitive pads I’ve experienced ever. Everyone might not love that but it’s a necessity for all the MPE stuff to work well. You gotta be careful to not rest a finger on the pad :)
@@AccurateBeats Thanks so much for the reply, that really helps. With neither Akai or Ableton supporting 3rd party VSTs on their standalone devices it seems like you really need to pick an ecosystem and stick with it now. particularly if you're going to invest a lot in buying things like Fabric and Mini D. My fear is that as Akai start rolling out more, and more complex instruments, the Force (and 2GB MPCs) may run out of processor for all of that!
None of the push 3 reviewers have mentioned the surface finish. Is it the same TPE rubberized surface used on the Push 1 and Push 2? If it is, this surface deteriorates to a sicky gummy mess. Researching this on the net, only to find its the same for other owners. The surface breaks down over time in normal ligh. There is no known solution, short of removing the surface with rubbing alcohol.
Well, I heard and read in several reviews that the “Soft Touch” finish is not a thing anymore. Apparently Ableton got rid of that on later batches of the Push 2.
Great video. How thick is it compared to the Push 2? The standalone version is very intriguing, as often I work on projects sitting at a Starbucks on my laptop but I leave the P2 at home.
Can you use it in something like an hybrid mode? Like a DSP? For example: I have a very heavy session on the computer and I want to play an operator bass but using the push 3 processor..
AP3 sample features vs Serato Sample? Love everything you doing homie. Salute. I use a Maschine mk3 with Serato sample always for sample manipulation. Just wanted to know your thoughts on the differences. Much appreciated 🙏🏾💪🏾✊🏾
You could always use Serato Sample as a plugin in Live with push to control it all. There's no support for third party plugins in standalone mode though so that would have to be done with Push as a controller. The sample manipulation stuff in Live is really powerful but if you're used to Serato, its still possible :D
Good review .. but we can do this on the Push 2 or am i missing something beyond being standalone etc. as far as making a dope beat not sure if it's worth upgrading ?
MPE is cool, but I don't need the standalone. My push 2 with RME digiface has 32 outs to Apogee converters.. 😅I'm just a spectator on new product threads.
@@justakaduppy because it's standalone? Not only are there actual internals in the device (processor and SSD) which are both upgradeable which is crazy, it's an actual interface which the push 2 was not. You weren't able to see midi on push 2 and being able to carry sessions over from standalone to desktop/laptop sessions is dope. Is it worth the price increase? To certain users yes, that's the beauty of products, there are target markets. For you? Maybe not and that's ok
@@thebeatmajors_yt I get what you're saying depends on what your needs are .. i can see it having a benefit in a live / jamming setting for example as one piece of gear to do many things during a performance or just experimenting disconnected from the main setup
@@justakaduppy That would be primarily because of the built in computer. They are selling a cheaper version that's just a controller that's upgradable to stand alone. It's a good innovative step, just not one I need.
Everyone's talking about this vs MPC or whatever, but this may be the "souped up Circuit Tracks" I've been looking for for a long time. Does it actually charge via USB-C though? Loopop said it doesn't, you mention it does "power" it? I'd want to avoid lugging around another power brick.
@@Epicfuzz I don't think it's better than the MPC (or Force). It has features I would love to see on both for sure like better warping but overall I find the workflow on the Force to be superior to the Push.
@@apoclypse 64 pads with full MPE? That’s unheard of…I just think Akai and NI need to step up. Ableton is the first to bring these features in a stand alone unit so now others need to challenge them. It all works out the best for us
@@Epicfuzz the midi controller alone is $1000 and doesn’t even come with a full version of the software 😂. Standalone is $2500 with suite. That’s the same price as the MPC X SE! But but but the Push 3 is upgradeable. That’s more money. Off value alone the Maschine Plus and MPC series are better. The only huge plus is the time stretching. If you don’t AKAI isn’t working on that. You sadly mistaken! Btw the Push 3 doesn’t have an arranger, doesn’t support usb file transfer, no sd card slot, and few other things too. It’s better though😂😂
Sitting in a meeting at work at the moment, so havent watched in full.. Any comment on the casing? Is this soft touch plastic? The same material as Push 2? Or a different material?
I’m not sure how it compares to Push 2 but I wouldn’t call it soft (like the rubber-like coating on mpc Live) it’s a harder kinda plastic and it feels like something that could take a beating.
@@AccurateBeats Thanks so much for the reply... Maschine 3 user here, who never really got into it. Mainly because of the Maschine software.. Im a Reason guy and while I bought Live Suite, again never got into it.. Hoping the Push 3 might be my ticket into Ableton
Cool! All software and hardware has a learning curve. I’m new to Live and Push myself but it took a few days to get used to it. I now find the workflow pretty easy, yet very complex if you want to go crazy. I guess that goes for Maschine, mpc, or whatever. No one makes a proper, high quality hardware controller for Reason, right? Weird when you think about it! However… Good luck on your endeavors and remember: if you’re happy and efficient with your current setup - that’s great!
Could you do a video on how to create like a 3 hour long set on there? If it can hold it standalone and if you don't run into major issues? Making 1 song is fine but creating an entire live set to perform with on stage without having to swap projects and have silence inbetween is something else.. would really really appreciate this even if its just a 1 hour set. I'm going to switch from Octatrack MKII to Push3 for personal reasons (will be faster and more efficient personally). But I need it to play hours long live-sets and not just 'a song"
This is very very well crafted video, mate! On the subject, people are people. I AM happy playing M+, also thanks to you inspiring. Same as you ingrowing into Maschine, I’m into Push. So happy-happy! …. Now, how do I buy the “skillz pack” to be as fluent on any machine? 😂
Thank you! Tit feels like I’m into everything these days… Maschine, MPC, 404, Push. It’s a crazy world to live in for sure! About the skillz pack 😉… Don’t know… I’ve thought about creating some sort of course or masterclass for a few years by now but never really got to the point. Maybe that could be something?
@@AccurateBeats I'd sign up for the masterclass and I imagine a lot of others would too. I started watching your videos because I liked your delivery and loved the music, but then you actually inspired me to try it myself, first on my Deluge and now on a Force. Your videos have become a place I go to try and learn about building drum patterns, selecting drum sounds and in particular picking samples and how to chop them, I'd love a master class on all that from someone who has proven skills at doing it.
@@AccurateBeats If masterclass means individual or small group class where I can get real feedback and guidance on where I am as a budding beatmaker, I would love that! Been disappointed in "one-size-fits-all" courses from others

Rocking a Push 2 for years and I love it. MPE is growing on me. Great video that shows how the workflow in Push/Ableton is intuitive and inspiring.
Thank you!
For a push 2 user, I think this is pretty much a no-brainer even though it’s not very cheap.
Thanks for the aupport
Is the push 2 worth it today for a first time push user? Or should I spend extra and go for the push 3?
I was just thinking of getting used 2nd or 1st one… and here this comes out

@@Epicfuzz I don't think it's better than the MPC (or Force). It has features I would love to see on both for sure like better warping but overall I find the workflow on the Force to be superior to the Push.
@@apoclypse 64 pads with full MPE? That’s unheard of…I just think Akai and NI need to step up. Ableton is the first to bring these features in a stand alone unit so now others need to challenge them. It all works out the best for us
@@Epicfuzz the midi controller alone is $1000 and doesn’t even come with a full version of the software 😂. Standalone is $2500 with suite. That’s the same price as the MPC X SE! But but but the Push 3 is upgradeable. That’s more money. Off value alone the Maschine Plus and MPC series are better. The only huge plus is the time stretching. If you don’t AKAI isn’t working on that. You sadly mistaken! Btw the Push 3 doesn’t have an arranger, doesn’t support usb file transfer, no sd card slot, and few other things too. It’s better though😂😂

In your opinion. Does the P3 have the same punch for drums as the MPC Live?
Does it have a built in speakers,? Or you have to plug the headphone to it
No built in speaker on this one. Headphones or speakers will do the trick :)
Sitting in a meeting at work at the moment, so havent watched in full.. Any comment on the casing? Is this soft touch plastic? The same material as Push 2? Or a different material?
I’m not sure how it compares to Push 2 but I wouldn’t call it soft (like the rubber-like coating on mpc Live) it’s a harder kinda plastic and it feels like something that could take a beating.
@@AccurateBeats Thanks so much for the reply... Maschine 3 user here, who never really got into it. Mainly because of the Maschine software.. Im a Reason guy and while I bought Live Suite, again never got into it.. Hoping the Push 3 might be my ticket into Ableton
Cool! All software and hardware has a learning curve. I’m new to Live and Push myself but it took a few days to get used to it. I now find the workflow pretty easy, yet very complex if you want to go crazy. I guess that goes for Maschine, mpc, or whatever.
No one makes a proper, high quality hardware controller for Reason, right? Weird when you think about it!
However… Good luck on your endeavors and remember: if you’re happy and efficient with your current setup - that’s great!
@@AccurateBeats Let me just say I love how you take the time for thoughtful and positive answers to comments on your videos. Class act.
How long does the battery last?
But, what about the converters?
Could you do a video on how to create like a 3 hour long set on there?
If it can hold it standalone and if you don't run into major issues?
Making 1 song is fine but creating an entire live set to perform with on stage without having to swap projects and have silence inbetween is something else.. would really really appreciate this even if its just a 1 hour set.
I'm going to switch from Octatrack MKII to Push3 for personal reasons (will be faster and more efficient personally). But I need it to play hours long live-sets and not just 'a song"
This is very very well crafted video, mate!
On the subject, people are people. I AM happy playing M+, also thanks to you inspiring. Same as you ingrowing into Maschine, I’m into Push. So happy-happy! …. Now, how do I buy the “skillz pack” to be as fluent on any machine? 😂
Thank you! Tit feels like I’m into everything these days… Maschine, MPC, 404, Push. It’s a crazy world to live in for sure!
About the skillz pack 😉… Don’t know… I’ve thought about creating some sort of course or masterclass for a few years by now but never really got to the point. Maybe that could be something?
@@AccurateBeats I'd sign up for the masterclass and I imagine a lot of others would too. I started watching your videos because I liked your delivery and loved the music, but then you actually inspired me to try it myself, first on my Deluge and now on a Force. Your videos have become a place I go to try and learn about building drum patterns, selecting drum sounds and in particular picking samples and how to chop them, I'd love a master class on all that from someone who has proven skills at doing it.
@@AccurateBeats If masterclass means individual or small group class where I can get real feedback and guidance on where I am as a budding beatmaker, I would love that! Been disappointed in "one-size-fits-all" courses from others
How many drum kits?
