🎛️ Gear in this video
- Push 2 — [ALL bit.ly/3KqSOL5]

In this making music video I use Ableton Push 2 as a very powerful and convenient groovebox. While Push 2 is "just a controller" it is not really necessary to look at the computer screen with Ableton Live! Because Push 2 itself is more than enough! I also talk about how to get inspired while making music, how to get inspiration to make music, how to practice making music, how to make music from scratch, how to make music with ableton, ableton 11 tips and tricks, ableton push 2 tips and tricks.

🌍 Hello World! My name is Ihor.

This is my channel where I share my experiences, ideas, reviews and tutorials related to Electronic Music Production. I focus mostly on Techno and House music. In my Studio on my Music Production Desk you will find a variety of different gear like: digital and analog synth, eurorack modular, drum machine, sampler, effect, mixer, guitar pedal, MIDI controller. Also software: DAW, Ableton, VST, plugins.

I am myself an engineer and I am quite obsessed with the Music Technology and Sound Design. I like making music without a computer. I like playing Electronic Music Live with my Minimal Dawless Setup. I love Eurorack Modular Techno and always keen to talk about the modular workflow.

I strongly believe that nothing can be better than a good Dawless Techno Jam!

I watched all the Techno Tutorials on YouTube! (I think)

📺 Thanks for watching! And have fun!

✌️ Peace.

  • Just when I was about to pull the trigger on a Digitakt you remind me how powerful my Push 2 can be.
  • @Katchaco
    I do love Ihor moves when enjoying the groove 😎
  • @Berus7777
    This is one of the best videos I've seen for the Push 2. It was very close to being a tutorial. One thing I particularly like about Ihor's videos is the way in which they clearly show his process. You're able to discern how he is doing each step without some sort of quick edit that leaves you going "Wait!! Whoa! What the hell??? How did he do that? How did he get there?!???" (This drives me crazy with a number of popular synth YouTubers.) This video, particularly, allowed me to learn a great deal because I was actually able to follow along with his process and understand the logic and overall flow. Great work! (Also, this was a great beat - very original AND very listenable. Not an easy thing to do!)

  • @GrowsDrummer
    Thanks for the tutorial. That is a good workflow to get started for using push as a live performance tool.
