£500 AND I'M REALLY CONFUSED

[nowaysj]

yeah, what he said.

Jizzy, what are you piano skills? Are you a player?

[Jizz]

that is a very convincing argument fragments hahah

Watching a few youtube vids of Push now, really the only thing thats a bit disappointing is how they havent got the facility to chop samples, i still gotta use mouse for that. But then again thats not a biggie, not like im some stubborn mpc veteran

Nah noways not really, although ive always wanted to learn u know, hence this obsession with 49keys lol. But, its funny that with Push its designed in a way that it lights up scales when you play keys apparently, like if thats true thats pretty sick. Maybe its not a good idea to be so stuck on traditional keys when theres more malleable devices around...

[nowaysj]

I like playing blines, melodies, and chords on 4x4, it makes more sense to me. No weird hierarchy of black an white keys.

I think if you are not a trained piano player, keys are less important. I'm getting more and more used to keys, though. But a cheap midi keyboard can be had new for a hundo, at anytime. You can use a keyboard in conjunction with push/ableton.

I dont know how push is for triggering samples? Is it velocity sensitive? Truthfully I don't like a lot of velocity sensitivity, but I can use some. sp404 is not velo sensitive, and sometimes I'll hit full velocity on my padkontrol, or on maschine, moreso on maschine.

I honestly don't know a lot about push, but I've seen a few videos a while ago, and it seemed pretty impressive.

I wish some push people would show up and drop the straight dope.

[Jizz]

Yes it is velocity-sensitive iirc

Yeh had a night's sleep mulling over this and it still seems like a good idea, i think im gonna go for it. If there are any push users like noways said, plz post

[nowaysj]

Change the thread title to "Push Users Suck the D" or something like that. You'll get a response.

[SunkLo]

Better yet, change it to "Skrillex Talks About His New Ableton Push Obsession in Next Month's Computer Music" and we'll all head over to ebay.

I really wanna get one but I'm gonna wait till the price comes down a bit. I also wanna see how dope Bitwig is and whether it works seamlessly with Push.

[nowaysj]

Yeah, bitwig could be a game changer. I've never seen 3rd party vst's in there? They only show their devices? Maybe unstable?

[Libra]

Give it to me. I'll send you my broken Edirol shitty keyboard. Deal?!

[nowaysj]

What are we giving to you again?

Tha D?

Pah! The £500! But you can give me back myself if you like

[Jizz]

Err... yeah im gonna wait another 3 months before buying anything lololo

[didi]

the korg microkey61 comes with the korg legacy bundle free which is a madness

[nowaysj]

Was just using the polysix.

[Libra]

Funny this came up. That korg collection was the first ever plugin instrument I ever used about 10-11 years ago. Coming back to it now makes me all nostalgic and stuff

[goldengrime]

Ya can either go 2 ways imo - Get monitors with money. Or keep ya headphones and get a decent interface until you take your music seriously enough to start buying monitors etc. and get a cheap midi keyboard for like 50 quid or summit. If you wasn't buying monitors you could get some decent headphones and interface for that price.

Or….

Ya can get some midi controllers to piss about on which may be fun while ya at it but in the long run they aren't going to serve as a big thing in terms of production. Kinda, may as well get a dildo while ya at it and sit on that all day turning ya computer off and on if ya into spending money, wasting time and not getting tracks finished.

[Jizz]

I dunno why but I've never really liked making music on speakers so monitors never really appealed to me headphones are perfect, you get the full all-round stereo plus you can go as loud as you want


that korg looks sick actually! another thing to consider lol

lolwut?
You don't think a midi controller is a clutch piece of gear? I'd get a lot more done with headphones and an MPK than an acoustically perfect studio and a mouse.

[bouncingfish]

Get a set of monitors or a proper set of headphones, you can make it without a controller.
