I've said this elsewhere, I am really impressed that Ableton chose a sustainable path for Push 3 in a consumerist world where we are expected to throw away perfectly good technology all in the name of repeating revenue. What a win for everyone.
He saying he’s happy that abelton is continuing to build upon PUSH to be gear that will serve us down the years. Instead of them scrapping the push some years after releasing it.
So this is basically the best of Roli Blocks, Ableton & an MPC. NICE! Very interested in seeing what native instruments is going to do this year with their hardware as well.
It's cool, I have a Push 2 and I don't really feel like it's obsolete here at all. But there are a few features that I would definitely enjoy having, and the interface functionality is a major wishlist item, if I were still schlepping Push to live gigs that would save me a TON of time.
yeah, the new prices mean the old Push won't be obsolete anytime soon. , £400 Push 2, £879 Push 3 controller, £1669 Push 3 standalone, Plus there are some niffty single board Ryzen computers on the market which could very easily be moded to turn a push 2 into a standalone ;0)
@@AudioCheck12 same here, Push 1 & 2 and a couple of LaunchPad pro's including the latest. My guess is there'll be an MPE version of the LaunchPad pro, which already has some standalone features.
Proper breakdown! As always the production quality here is next level. I think it has to be said that the upgrade kit feature is a game changer. This is huge.. and will possibly make this device future proof for a long time to come. Im sure that they will add some sort of arrangement view eventually and more bells and whistles over the next year. This is a very strong entry into the standalone market.
i never have or wil understand why anyone wants a standalone push, it doesnt make any sense, jsut the same as machine, when companies listen to 0,000001% of users this shit comes out eating all the precious recources for something thats not needed and only a downgrade.
It astonishes me how in-depth you always go in describing the features of the devices you show us. It always feels like you explored everything and read the manual from page to page. Especially with the more Weird Gear!™️
My Push 2 died like 2 years ago, and I've been in sorrow ever since. Finally managed to put together money for a new one around christmas, but used the money on presents for my family instead. I also had a feeling that since Push 2 was out of stock everywhere in Norway (and other places), something new were on the horizon. I AM SOOOOOOOO HYPED!! LET'S GOOOOO 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
@@jsadecki1 Haha that was a shocker for sure. But I can buy the cheapest version and then upgrade it later to the portable version (so cool) 🙏Maybe even choose myself what kinda SSD, CPU etc? It's only about 25% more than what I paid for Push 2 like 6 years ago, so I'm okay with that. Nothing beats the Push (by far) for my workflow 🙂
@@aminoplaysgames that is a good point to be honest I have the push to right now but I only ever seemed to use it as a drum pad and the new one has really good drum pads however the specs of the new one just looks terrible but you're right it is good that you can upgrade it later
@@drkastenbrot I could ofc, but I really want the new features like MPE etc. Those pads seems crazy. And later I'll upgrade it to standalone 👌 Plus Push 2 had a LOT of updates over the years, Push 3 will get the same. So for me it's an easy buy, cost aside ofc 😄
As always Andrew, another superb upload. This though.. this is an absolute game changer, being able to replace processor, battery and hard drive as technology improves... there's nothing else like it, and give it a truly bright future !!!
One of the best musicians on UA-cam. Great writing, ability to explain to the point with very little fluff, and really showing what one person is capable of. Cheers to many more years, Andrew!
You're a phenomenal artist. Across all mediums. I very much appreciate the editting when explaining features, ie a clip rolls showing you doing x or y, as you're narrating. Curt, and trim. Love it. As far as the device goes. MPE seems to be on the rise(!). Thanks for your time Stay like that man. Luv from the pnw
I know this isn't what the video is about, but I love it whenever you touch a bass. 👍 I always find your lines very effective. Got the Oblivion's one on my mind quite often since I first heard it!
Your production quality both in terms of music and film is very crisp. Also, I'm a large fan of your 4 producers series and you've genuinely inspired me to improve my music so thanks for that!
Man I know very little about Ableton and mainly just play on my baby grand, but this has inspired me to dive into the production/electronic world. The upgradability is fantastic for future proofing! So hype to purchase this, thanks Andrew 🙏
@@someonewhobitthedust9124 lmao short-term elation versus life-long creation…I’ll definitely take the latter. thanks! this will be sick for live performance too
Akai fans have been saying this about the Live, One and X for....a decade now. I hope so too but...dunno. Apparently it's not so easy on a smaller system?
Wow! Amazing review Andrew. I'm a Logic User but I will be getting A Push 3. The fact that you can upgrade the unit hardware and specs is a game changer for standalone beat machines. Ableton really cares about its users.... I may have to try Ableton again.
the Live II is clearing its throat in the corner. between the Live, M+, the new SPD, and now this things are looking great for portable/powerful machines
@@ToyKeeper it’s just too new. We‘ll see how it develops. Think about the Force when it released and how basic it was and what it has become now. Except for missing song mode the P3 is way more capable already
Push 3 looks like a great upgrade compared to Push 2. It looks like the standalone version isn't fully standalone yet, but hopefully they'll add the arranger and other missing features soon. I've been using a Force instead since it's truly standalone and has great Linux compatibility, but Push 3 has some amazing features I'd love to use.
Very cool but I wonder if you could deep dive into the specs of the audio interface because for 2000 dollars I could buy an Apollo twin and a nice midi controller
Kind of video I REALLY like. I good overview without and lot of DEEP DIVES. That comes later as you get more experience with the device. This was an excellent introduction for someone brand new to the PUSH eco-system. Wish more YTers would do these, initially, instead of showing 3 different ways to do the same thing and adding midi gear etc. One step at a time! Much obliged.
Just logged into my youtube and i see Andrew and Rachel K collier both posting video on Ableton Push 3. You guys were like almost ready with the camera to shoot this video lol :D .. btw i loved the explanation and Ableton surely came up with the powerful machine this time.. talkin of machine , Maschine+ got some epic competition too :D
Returned the standalone version last year but got the controller model for $749 (Black Friday sale) and must say I love it. Really way superior to the previous versions which I still have and the MPE is no gimmick. Excellent feel and build quality too. Standalone was $1499 on sale but still would not buy it
Awesome video Andrew! Can you add existing projects to the push standalone? And if so, what does happen if these contain third party plugins? Are these just “ignored”?
Yes, you can. Even arrangement transfers - even though you can't edit it with Push 3 standalone. Dunno what happens with third-party though. They won't work that's for sure.
GR8 overview Andrew... you should be able-to have an audio record buffer to go with the midi listening ,that you could set the recording time to say up to 40 mins like BESKPOKE DAW or 404 mk2......would have liked to have seen more Eurorack stuff setup being controlled by the Push 3. .....ps shaker game 100
Thanks so much for this! Question: Can you assign tempo per scene on the Push 3? You can't on the Akai Force which has made it difficult on live gigs. I'd dump my Force in a second if Push 3 can do this.
My main gripe with the Push2 was that the 'Fixed Length' button just flashes on/off when it's engaged, so you can't tell at a glance if it's on or off while doing other things. And it's still the same 😢. Why couldn't they just turn it red when on like the Automate button below it
Being able to use Note and Session mode at the same time - above all other features - is for me the biggest and best. It’s the reason I am upgrading to the tethered version.
Super sick. Amazing as always. Thanks so much for the video. You are part of the reason I have all kinds of electronic instruments choking my man space :)
on session view can you have a track loaded with an instrument/device/synth and have the clips below being the same instrument/device/synth but with different parameters? so it makes a different sound, and sequence the midi notes with the oxi one
Can you hold down a delete button and the pad of the sound you want to erase while it's playing in real time to erase it from the clip/pattern? I want to erase notes in real time without using a grid or roll. I think you can do that with the Akai Force!
Damn, this is just insane. I was planning on getting a Launchpad Pro to use as a standalone sequencer for my modular stuff, and owning a Push II I love the interface, but not the setup - this is incredible. I can’t afford one at the moment, but I’ll keep an eye out.
Thanks for the amazing video! The unit looks utterly stunning, there’s no doubt about that… and I will probably upgrade to it from 2 (but I won’t bother with the SA version) my only point of confusion is why everyone is so concerned about being standalone. I don’t get what’s so bad about working with computers ! 😄 why are they fixating on stepping away from it? It’s a bloody great resource! I also don’t get why are ableton selling themselves short when it comes to their music production presentation. They need to get it in them that people are proud of using it as a DAW and are getting great results from it. I’m wishing for more serious DAW features and an Ableton Push “Studio” next where the unit serves the production side not the performance side 🙏🏼
@Adrian Stöger that’s 100% true for some people bro and I agree with you that it does affect some of us. My issue is that they ONLY focus on that problem and remedy it while there are other things that need to be battled too do you know what I mean ? So what I’m saying is, you solved the former issue with Push 3 so it’s time to sort the latter issues for studio based folk with “Push Studio” .
Did they change the key mode? It had the most confusing key pad structure. It’s mostly just guess work. Buttons you don’t press light up. I thought is was 64 keys just laid out across 64 pads. Not so.
The barrier to entry at a "convenience" level is pretty high these days. I find every youtuber just increases my standards for my setup, which is their job I guess, but man it feels bad to look at my Launchpad and know that There is something better out there that costs 10x the cost I spent, and gives me 100x the convenience of my current setup. and is 1000x out of my budget.
@@critical3337 I doubt anything is 100X more convenient, dude. Impossible. Also, the hardware on this thing is older generation which to me seems a bit cynical. I bet the Launchpad works pretty well? Not yet used one.
Hell fucking Yes - so pumped for a stand alone mode and interface for my live performance setup! Don’t want a computer on stage and am so hyped for this option!
How do you reckon you're going to tackle playing a set? I'm thinking about this route, but it seems like you'd have to arrange a bunch of songs in one project and launch them as clips or something, it sounds tricky
The most important question: Has the bug fixed in this device, when after selecting and arming a track for recording you have to press the record button twice to actually start recording(because recording doesn’t start after single press)? The bug was found about 3 years ago, and still exist in last Live’s versions.
I literally got ride of my Akai MPC because of the lack of arrangement view... The MPE is somewhat tempting and the UI improvements are nice. But, overall I don't think, for me, that this is really a big enough improvement to tempt me from the Push 2.
Hey Andrew. I really like your bass playing. Thanks for the informative video also = ) I wonder if Native Instruments built the controller. Seems very similar to the Maschine Jam with the colour, and the mitl-function jogwheels etc....
Thanks for watching! What do you think of Push 3?!
1st
Maschine plus just in a way off push 2 and with mpe(USP of product)
Mind blowing

As someone that JUST dove into Ableton and Push 2, I'm excited and bummed.... I wish they had said more about it online.
Am I right in thinking it is now possible to route a mic in to live process vocals on standalone?
Yes and it’s VERY fun, however you can only use a dynamic mic (or hook up an external preamp) as there’s no phantom power
I've never seens an eggplant played with such feel before. beautiful stuff that really spoke to my soul

The most important question: Has the bug fixed in this device, when after selecting and arming a track for recording you have to press the record button twice to actually start recording(because recording doesn’t start after single press)? The bug was found about 3 years ago, and still exist in last Live’s versions.
Just when I was about to drop cash on a maschine+, this drops. Decisions Decisions.
is there a reason that they don't develop arrangement view on push?
I literally got ride of my Akai MPC because of the lack of arrangement view... The MPE is somewhat tempting and the UI improvements are nice. But, overall I don't think, for me, that this is really a big enough improvement to tempt me from the Push 2.
Hey Andrew. I really like your bass playing. Thanks for the informative video also = ) I wonder if Native Instruments built the controller. Seems very similar to the Maschine Jam with the colour, and the mitl-function jogwheels etc....
