Hey, I thought it would be fun to take some time and talk about what we all use to make music/sounds/whatever it is we do with it.

    I’ve gone all-in on push 3 standalone. I’m really getting to know it and learning to be productive. It’s a blast. I was asked to do the music for an upcoming video game. The kick-off still has to happen but I’m thinking I will make most of it standalone because I can finish it in Ableton Live at the end.

      Right on! What are your favorite features, compared to other grooveboxes? Mine arrived early this week, I had a chance to boot it up for a few mins yesterday. Fingers crossed the updates/ sign in go smoothly.

        The integration with Ableton Live is by far the best feature. I can build my entire track and import it into Ableton without ever having to freeze track to audio. How I am used to working with grooveboxes is freezing stems and mixing in DAW. But now even my automations are recorded and copied over. Amazing.

        I do really lack a song mode, but luckily @[email protected] made an M4L device that adds a simple song mode to Push that even works in standalone mode.

        I am not really impressed by the presets that come with Live and have always preferred other plugins or synths but they definitely do the job. And sometimes I just replace an instrument in post since I have the note data recorded anyway.

          I’d probably be jumping on the Push 3 if it had an arrangement view. I never got into the clip-based workflow, and can’t imagine ever making the switch without it changing the type of music I compose.
