Hi!

I am so with this dude. Computer slows creativity massively for me. I gotta figure this out but my budget ain’t great
I've been slowly coming around to this idea that my computer may not be the most musical tool. There are other less expensive ways to get a similar setup. Potentially with a sampler as the brain (404, Maschine+, MPC etc) and then one additional synth depending on your sound. Also there are lots of groove devices that of course will be more limited but you're able to have a standalone situation away from the comp
me to
One big advantage of this way of working (recording audio instead of (editing) midi) is that it makes you a better musician. Great channel, keep going!
Not only that, it also makes you commit. When I have midi, I keep going back and editing notes, tweaking endlessly. Audio files force me to commit and deal with what I did. Edit: he said this in his video, I didn't watch it first LOL
This is cool, and helpful for me to see! I've been more and more drawn to the idea recently of building a similar setup for myself - the fear of commitment when making music is so real.
great video, a lot of these points I have to apply when performing
yessss I've been watching lots of your performances lately!! Great vibes!!
This format/topic spoke to me. It was more about the relationship with tools and how our creative process can be affected by it. Finding ways to meld the set up in a way that gets us closer to the music seemed to be my main takeaway from this. Dope.
I love you've caught the House bug. Feel the grooves man
thank you! I'm happy to hear it. I enjoy making this kind of video.
loved this format ✨
im glad!! thank you!
You inspire me to continue pursuing music production as a beginner, thank you Taetro.
in means a lot rumesto thanks for letting me know. keep going!
Love this so much ! I actually love recording audio not so much midi (I know that may be a bad thing ). I love your explanations on your processes!
yes I'm actually growing to love it
I feel the same way about this setup, I have it in my studio as well and it really feels like an oasis
Amazing 😻
thanks tenly!
Absolute fire bro! Been using this same setup and it’s extremely fun and fluid❤️ keep killing it🤘🏻
thanks man! yeah fun and fluid is the perfect way to describe it!
Sounds like a really dope set up. A little expensive for most of us but still looks really really awesome. Would love to see if there's some cheaper versions out there of a combo such as Maschine+ and a smaller synth. Great video tho. Would love to mess around with this set up
Exactly why I grabbed the Maschine+ refurbished. I have a very similar oasis vision for a corner of my studio. 🤘🏻
Now I’d love to have a small AstroLab desktop version. A small box attached to the Push 3 and played with its MPE pads - that would be a killer combo.
That would be great. I HOPE WE SEE IT IN THE FUTURE
Can you tell us a little more about the other equipment you're using here? Or do you have a video of it? Like the desk you're using. The little monitors you have on it. Things like that? Thanks.
funky layered house 😊
Great, very pleasing to watch and listen 😃
Hi ! Wish desktop is that that you’re putting all the gear on?
Hey @Taetro!
Thank you so much for all the content on Ableton! Best than some paid stuff that you can find out there
Do you have any videos about Landr? Something like pros and cons?
I appreciate that! I've worked with LANDR before! A good sample library as well as plugins and distribution!
Love the look of this combo
they pair quite well!
@@Taetro I had the lab then the full collection and missed the libs so much when having to try DAWless.
I've also made a tiny jam-station inspired from you.. not much, couple Casio toy keyboards, a few pedals, 2 small amps, and a cable ready for a guitar.. and it is so much fun..
sounds like a fun little setup!!
Hello nice setup ❤ why do you record audio? You can open external instrument channel by channel record as midi than freeze & flatten track to the audio format, so you can fix midi notes & quantize easily. Am I right or miss something? Thanks
that’s true! Though it kind of defeats the purpose of the (self imposed) limitation. The point is more that committing to audio seems a bit scary but then it takes the ability away to incessantly tweak.
In that case you should get a modern Synth or Workstation along with a analog looper, just like the old days.
Cool setup! Just a quick question what are the monitor speakers you are using?
sorry I forgot to add them to the description. They are the AIAIAI Unit-4s: amzn.to/453UFxO
@@Taetrothank you!
It would be great if you continued the music theory for beginners series as it helped many (including me) aspiring musicians to start their journey
I really want to do this and have been coming up with new ideas! Can you let me know what topics you'd like to cover next?
@@Taetro I am currently an amateur in this field. I started watching your videos a few months back. I currently made 2-3 beats based on what I learned from that series. I use FL studio for my production process.
I would find it helpful if you could make a video covering the advanced concepts of music theory or like if you could teach some of the commonly used effects, mixing vocals etc whatever you think would be helpful for the journey.
Btw love your videos, as I personally learnt a lot from this
Hey! What desk are you using?
Awesome jam! Synth reminds me of MGMT x Passion Pit ❤
hahah true!
🤠✌🏻YEAH!!! SHO!!! SHOW!!!🤠✌🏻
yeeeehaw
i wish i was as cool as taetro 🙌🏾
Nice set up...❤
thanks Steph! :)
Can't you connect the astrolab to other synths like lemon drop
yes! but keeping things simple for now!
How do you have PUSH 3 connected to wirless speakers?!?!
unless their not, it looks like they are
better explanation would be that there is no timeline to look at. You are just freely flowing, it's like being in session view always.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Isn’t that technically 2 computers with very little screen? Astrolab runs linux I think, and Push 3 has an intel cpu.
Despite needing powerful CPUs the idea for what an instrument is hasn’t changed. Instead of simpler controllers, they’re CPUs now but I still think this qualifys as DAWless instrument. There’s no interacting with the computer, it just needs it to do things better and faster.
@@FrankDigital true. If you can get past the push learning curve I am sure it’s a nice combo. The astrolab looks very easy.
I think my brain is technically a computer
@@TaetroWell said, everything is a computer nowadays.
People who are trying to act smart, calling sequencers/synths "computers" just come off as ignorant, and don't understand the point of DAWless setups.

Is that a Prophet?
Arturia has their version of the prophet within the collection!
Honestly, at that point id just get something like a fantom.
yeah the fantom looks like a powerful interface, and around the same price - but a bit a bit overcomplicated for my needs.
@@Taetro I'm fairly new to ableton, do you think I'm better off learning ableton before jumping into a push controller. Or do you find it better to just jump in and learn both how to use the controller and software at the same time?
I think learning Ableton Live on its own should be your first step, as you do that you’ll feel more and more prepared to add a push. There’s some learning to do on push but I’d say it’s mostly an extension of the software workflow. When you understand Live better, you’ll be able to quickly take advantage of push. A simple budget controller could keep you happy until then if you’re looking for a basic note input controller instead of clicking around all the time
Would Love to Be ypur Video Editor
Mistakes make it human
This video was a nice advertisement.
just documentation of what I’ve been doing lately 🤷
Without a computer? Push 3 is a computer. Arturia is a computer. But only with a little screen, ok.
i bet you think a hot dog is a sandwich
@@Taetro I think a computer is a computer. What you mean is a DAW
Push3 kind of has a DAW inbuilt @@rumo201
Haters gonna hate…appreciate the vid @taetro
@@andyo9930 Check the definition of „hate“ please. Thx
I still prefer the Chaos room with 500 assorted midi controllers. For me, it's more of a buzz when you can glean a jewel out of all the chaos. The Chaos room should be called the Options room coz you can go any way you want, even multiple directions. The Astrolab & Push room looks too easy to fall asleep in. Also at 3 thousand dollars a pop & white in color, I wouldn't be doing too much smoking around the Astrolab.
