    I love the maschine, had the maschine studio which was awesome but I tend to finish way more stuff with Push. I don't sample much but I actually find Ableton and Push more flexible with samples. I dont' mind using the mouse though. I am not a piano player so playing melodies on the Push pads is such a cheat code. The maschine software is going to get a major update this year so I'll see how that looks and may get a maschine for portability.

    For anyone watching this video for the first time in 2023 or beyond, a lot of the music making points in this video have been addressed. I use push 2 daily. You can 100% chop up samples, pitch them, warp them, do whatever to them using push 2. No need to touch your mouse or keyboard. The push 2 also has different pad modes that you can switch to. The mode she shows in the video is the step sequencer mode, which as the name implies, is used for sequencing sounds instead of live finger drumming. If you switch modes, you can enable the use of ALL of the pads to trigger samples for finger drumming. There are a few things you still cant do on push 2 without mouse and keyboard, but its pretty damn close. I took an online course that lasted 10 weeks where we did nothing but go through ALL of Abletons features and how to use those features on the Push 2. The Push 2 has ALOT of feature parity with mouse and keyboard.
    I also own a maschine MK3. If anyone is looking for one for cheap, let me know. I used it 3 times before I decided it wasnt the move.

    I have push1 and 2 and maschine studio with a roland fantom-s and a korg triton and a MPE enabled Jamstik studio midi guitar, along with the roland vg-88 and gr-33 and boss gt-3, and a roland vs1680 and its smaller 8 channel cousin. The devices can be mapped in various ways even for performance along with automation. Next is to either find a deal on a decent midi foot controller that is like with taurus pedals, though am thinking maybe trying to make one with a arduino and some chopped up hockey stick pieces and simple types of momentary or latchable switches.
    I am also interested in how MPE devices are made, and perhaps will 3d print a mold and framework for such reasons, because there is alot of potential with the MPE concept itself to further into other midi2 surfaces.
    The jamstik studio guitar isnt bad though as a MPE controller if you are guitarist first, its worth mentioning if anyone is considering this to replace a mouse.

  • @ceounicom
    @ceounicom 4 роки тому +2

    I got push2 a few years ago and its great but i agree its not really a one-stop-shop workstation experience like working on an MPC, which i think is the workflow the Machine tries to recapture.
    But i always produced on rack samplers and computer sequencers in the (distant) past, so my existing attitude was that Push was closer to the way i'd always done things; it just provided more visibility into the sampler engine, and consolidated the kind of editing/sequencing process i'd otherwise had to flip back and forth between boxes to do. Yes, you can't do a lot of sample processing, but in my case i normally do most of my chops/edits before arranging /sequencing. By the time i'm using push, all i want to add is envelopes, effects, record automation, etc. And it does all those things pretty well.
    Agree about the buttons thing, its annoying. I dislike it when companies design products for cool-look vs. functionality. The lack of clearer indicators on buttons is sort of dumb.
    Tbh i think the differences are ultimately pretty minor. If someone is going from 100% 'in the box' to using some tool/controller like this, its still a big help/jump forward. And its better than things like Novation Circuit, which i know some people use.

    i spent years buying and selling gear to try to move away from ableton and DAWs and it was always super frustrating and never able to make more than small loops... i finally decided recently to accept reality and go back to ableton and it felt like home again i could do anything i wanted right away without having to run into weird friction points or stupid hacks or browsing online shops for more gear...
    i'm so used to mouse/keyboard with ableton that i do everything now with mouse and keyboard and really "program" music again... but i still believe i need to have a controller in order to interface better with ableton and ive always wanted a push for ages but the price is quite high for what you get and im still torn between it and mk3 since mk3 isn't just the hardware but it also comes with a lot of plugins and software (not just the ableton built in stuff which i exclusively use on ableton)
    i downloaded komplete start just to get familiar with the komplete environment and some of their software and going to try to use those to see how i like them...
    one ting that leads me to still consider the push is the notes page... i'm a complete ignorant when it comes to piano. i can't even play the happy birthday song :D i'm a bassist originally so i'm not used to a keybed at all... having a big scaled grid of notes makes me believe it would be a better interface than the 16 pads of the maschine...
    I have an old MPC as well but honestly i don't like its workflow. and integrating it with ableton would be a pain in the ass.

    You can edit individual samples with the push. load a sample, chop it using slice mode. then use the convert button to convert it into a drum rack. now you have all slices as individual samples but you can still see them in the context of the whole sample if needed and you basically now have all the controls you can have on a sample but at atomic/individual level. this is takes like seconds to do.

    • @lilmissbeats
      @lilmissbeats  4 роки тому

      you cannot edit the contents of a sample from the push. You cannot, once its in a drum rack, take out for instance a small slice from the middle of the sample. You cannot from the drum rack stretch the sample a little bit here or there. You are very limited in sample editing. You can actually do all of that in Maschine from the mk3. It's completely different. And offers way more control in that sense.

When you load a sample you have 1 simpler, when you slice and convert it into a drum rack, each slice becomes a separate simpler instance that also can still get parts of the original sample... Read through the docs and you will see it. I am happy to share step by step if you'd like to try as well :)

    It's a good thing you share and compare your way of working. It contributes.
    For new kids on the block, read a manual, yes the boring part :D,
    watch multiple review resources of both pro's and cons of the products.
    Go to a music store that has specialized people who can demonstrate the products.

As you said, you are a good piano player, so it is not for you, but for me, the larger amount of pads comes in very handy when jamming and/or trying out chord progressions. Finally, I think it is a good machine to process your samples, once you get used to it. However, I can agree with most of your points, like the extra power cable: that sucks big time, indeed.

    Do you mix in maschine? Or do you save all that for ableton? For example do you use maschine’s compression?

    • @lilmissbeats
      @lilmissbeats  4 роки тому +1

      I finish tracks in ableton. I do use maschine compressor sometimes when I'm jamming on maschine and I want to use the effect, but I haven't released anything on spotify that I finished in maschine. I've only ever used maschine for fun little beat ideas, and then moved on to ableton.

    Unfortunately, they both have flaws. Maschine is more fun for sure, though when it comes to finishing tracks it becomes not so fun at all. I ditched mine to get push2. And to be honest I miss maschine, but things I couldnt even work around with my dear mk3 I can do with push2.

    Got the Maschine as a big Ableton user and I honestly couldn't believe how bad the Ableton/Maschine set up is. Completely agree that the Maschine is better served as a sketch pad and in that sense makes me wish I had a Maschine+ as a standalone and wouldn't need a computer.

    i really wanted to like push 2. i just couldn't get into any kind of consistent workflow. coming from an MPC, not being able to select all pads and do global tuning felt like a dealbreaker. then having to navigate through subscreen after subscreen to change each pad to warp and complex got tiresome, not to mention it was much easier to do within the software.

    Push 2 must be considered as a Keyboard easy to approach.

    It is my opinion.

  • @t0sh400
    @t0sh400 4 роки тому +3

    Yup, have both, use none. They both have flaws - that could be fixed in software updates - but for some reason the development is apparently on hold since launch... The screens on the MK3 could show more visual feedback like an EQ-Curve or how the Transient Shaper is affecting the waveform, or the Compressor at work.. The Push2 does all this very well, even with little icons for certain params that all make it feel more like an instrument and a plugin more like actual hardware. With Maschine all NKS look the same and the pages have no labels that you can see at a glance or access directly (like on the Push2) with one informed keypress. Now i got 1K worth of controllers that are suffering from afterthoughts, which is a shame really

    • @lilmissbeats
      @lilmissbeats  3 роки тому

      i do understand it. Once you see how you can edit samples from the maschine (without needing your computer), it is much more 'away from computer'. With simpler and push 2 I always need to go to the computer to do some kind of sample clean up of consolidation, split, etc beyond just slicing a sample or mass transposing all chops because I can't just transpose and stretch one tiny piece of the slice in simpler. Enjoy

  • @FullFledged2010
    @FullFledged2010 4 роки тому +1

    Well i use both of them. Maschine for drums and complex bass lines with multiple synths. The fact that you can put a separate synth on each pad is a total game changer!
    But arranging and mixing is so much better on ableton and the push kind of makes it easier. Or atleast more fun.
    The only issue i have is that when you use 2 instances of maschine in ableton i can only use one of them with the mk3...
    I mean they both work but the mk3 is locked to one instance.
    I do this because i want my drums and bass on 2 individual tracks.
    Please fix this ableton!!
