Ableton Push 3 (Controller) Overview

Published 2023-11-07
My overview of the new Push 3 (Controller version).

My thoughts on my I picked this version and how I got on with it after on 1 week.

** Spoiler Alert **

Listen, this thing is just great. Get one! But as you'll see in the video I definetely prefer one version over the other ;-)

More Push 3 videos to come soon.

Enjoy...

    Great overview and addresses my situation. Tried and own Maschine, MPC and like them both with Maschine being a better workflow for me. Own Ableton and think it has better DAW potential for arranging and tracking songs. I like using controller interfaces and there are great deals on the PUSH 2 both used and new and that's really hard to pass up. Watched several reviews and concluded I wanted to go all in on the PUSH 3 as a controller. I like the searching and selecting with nob controls and the audio interface option as well as CV control. Will sell some redundant unused gear to make up for the difference in pricing so I can afford this. Thanks for your review!

    Thanks for the overview, there aren't too many videos on Youtube talking about the controller version. I'm just about to pull the trigger on one myself.

    I love this push 3 controller and its actually the first time I've owned a controller that I was comfortable with not needing to go to my computer. 3 hours will go by and I'll realize I never touched my computer to even with maschine did I experience that. This controller truly is extremely easy to learn quickly I had a hard time learning version of the push and ended up selling it because it was collecting dust

    Haven’t upgraded my push 2 yet. I’m kind of happy with it and don’t feel the need to upgrade just yet. I’m also not sold on mpe, I’m sure it’s fun for a few weeks then would I really use it??? Although I do like the idea of an audio interface built in so I can declutter my desk. You mention the screen but I would have liked to see a touch screen Tbf. Just so I can rename stuff and speed up workflow a bit

    So to make sure I heard you right, I don’t need a audio interface with the controller version of push 3. And will I be able to plug my speaker monitors in ?
