- 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.

    Didn’t know how to do clip automations just using the Push 2 - now I know! Thanks buddy, another great video 💚
  • @schmohawk777
    What a fantastic video, motivated me to start using my push more, it’s such a creative and inspiring tool. Love how straight forward and easy to understand your content is. Look forward to seeing more push videos. 👏🔥👏
  • @robbret
    I had been trying to come up with a way of setting device parameters on a per-clip basis, 'digitakt-pattern-style'. Your tip was exactly what I as looking for. To put it in your words: yeah, nice ! One additional thing I would do is give the variation a different shade of the track color so it's easily identifiable. That also makes me wonder if this can reset your device parameters, 'digitakt-reaload-pattn-style'.
  • Just binge watched like 10 of your videos. You're the best! Greetings from Croatia!
  • @foggycow3204
    Nice tips! Another way that may be a little easier to embed automation is to automate the device on/off per clip. I don’t recall if you can do this entirely within the Push 2, but it could save some efforts in certain situations.

    Subbed for all vids. I thought I did.

    I’ve also been getting right into ableton for the last few months. Question can you use the push to record parameter/volume changes when your in record to the timeline mode? Thanks for the great video tempted to get a push now haha

    I am so stealing “dublicate” best new word in the English language ❤ As always awesome vid ihor! FYI the English word is duplicate
  • @Bouzouk44
    Merci pour ta vidéo ! Je ne comprend pas comment à 22:07 quand tu déclenches la scéne, le track numéro 3 ne se déclenche pas ?
  • Hi. Recently I came across your channel. I really like what you do and how you present the material. What country are you from? By the accent, it seems to me that English is not your native language. But this is good, because this is how speech is perceived more clearly.
  • @Qwiv
    When we going to see you on the new Digitakt firmware?
