It seems like a good use of resources to concentrate on making Push integrate as tightly as possible, if it doesn’t affect Live’s usability for other people – and, of course, everybody gets to use the new features like Simpler’s enhanced slice modes.Ableton Live 10 Suite includes: Ableton Live 13 Instruments to try (including Wavetable, Operator, Sampler, Analog and more) 56 Effects for processing audio and MIDI (including Echo, Pedal, Beat Repeat, Amp, Vocoder, Glue and lots more) Instant mappings so you can use Live with your keyboards or controller.

So not only is it good to see the changes to enable either Global or Session recording when working in either view with Push, it’s now also possible to delete Arrangement View clips from Push – it’s a small step in the right direction.Īs I said, most of the Live 9.7 update is concerned with Push, which I think is perfectly reasonable at the moment, especially given that it’s a free update – it’s not a case of if you don’t use Push, you’re being asked to pay for features that you won’t use. (Looper has an option to start Live playing when loops are triggered.)Īlthough Push has functioned as usual with mixing and device controls, when Live’s been in Arrangement View, it hasn’t had much else to offer for when we must work in a timeline. The timing of connected iOS apps will line up correctly when Live’s transport is started with either tap tempo or the Looper audio effect device. Live 9.7 also includes a small but important Link tweak – Ableton Link, of course, being the means by which Live and various iOS music apps can sync over WiFi.

In my live sets, I’m using renaming, colour coding, display zoom, different skins, whatever it takes! Push now provides a visual count-in – a little segmented bar across the display – so you can refer to that in situations where you don’t want to hear, or can’t hear, the usual metronome count very useful… They are even more important in live-performance situations where it’s so easy to be distracted and lose focus. They quickly become habits you depend on in the studio, especially when you’re working with more complex projects, where the more labelling and identification you employ, the faster you’re likely to work.

There are a number of visual-feedback improvements relating to Push 2, and if you’re new to Live or DAWs in general, you might not appreciate how important colour coding and visual information are. Be sure to edit your drum rack’s Simpler instruments to be responsive to incoming velocity changes using the Vel>Vol setting in Simpler’s Controls tab it makes a big difference when it comes to personalising your racks. You can create really dynamic fills and breaks – it’s one of those things I couldn’t see the point of until I tried it.

That integration is working, as full control over these new features is available from Push. They’re really just simple variations on what’s already possible, but they’ll speed up a lot of common slicing and sampling tasks and, like many features in Simpler, seem optimised to help make Push 2 more of a serious sampling platform/interface. In recent times, Simpler’s been getting a lot of love from Ableton, as it should – and the new slicing modes are interesting: Beat, Region, and Manual. In ongoing efforts to keep as up-to-date as possible, I’m using Push 2 for all of these tutorials – it probably won’t make any difference in most cases, but it’s something to bear in mind. You’ll see that alongside the typical fixes and tweaks, there are some major new features in 9.7 especially relating to Live’s interaction with Push, as that increasingly becomes the de facto control surface for our favourite DAW. What have you got to lose?! And as you’ll find out by reading this overview, you really do get a lot of bang for your (no) buck in this latest Live update.
