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.

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.

Yeah I miss it too. However, @[email protected] made a song mode M4L device that is pretty neat. I hope ableton will add something similar. It feels like a must for standalone mode.
