Read MoreExcellent and very in depth course. Walks you along in very methodical and carefully segmented steps so you can follow along and retrieve information/steps later during production. Instructor goes at acceptable pace and they did a great job of clearly showing the physical unit and toggling between screens. Very well thought out. Very well presented. Great job of instructing while also touching on future learning. This is by far the best Push2 course I have come across!!

Read MoreAs a newcomer to Push as well as Ableton I found this to be exactly what I needed to feel confident using these tools. I will say however, that two of the videos would not play [WRKSHP: we fixed this :)] and of course they were sections that I REALLY wanted more information about. This is why I only gave it 4 stars. Still good info though. Update: My issue with the non playing videos was quickly resolved by Andri. 5 amazing stars for the added bonus of super customer support!

Read MoreThis is without a doubt the best investment of your time if you're a beginner learning Push. Yes, YouTube is free, but you will not get anything close to the care and structure put into this course. Not only do you learn the device but you also get to learn Ableton Live and that's a great two for one.

Read MoreThis course has been well organized and well thought out. KUDOS! Some of the concepts that I have watched videos and not understood and now I easily understand. The one that comes to mind is the MIDI Push function of being able to access random doodling if I press record and New at the same time. Push is always recording your musical musings. I watched several videos on this but didn't understand till this tutorial. Very well done. His speaking manner and content is calm, logical, and cool and collected.

How to build a track using only Push
A whole section goes into how to create an entire track using almost exclusively Push, showing tricks and tips to reduce touching your mouse and keyboard to the absolute minimum. A download allows you to follow along and create your own version of the track.
-
Learn how Push works, and how it doesn't
Push is incredible, and does some things better than anything else I know. It also has limitations however, and I've spent a lot of time exploring these. Let me save you a lot of time and frustration by revealing what works, what doesn't, and as a guide to getting the most out of a really powerful piece of kit.
-
Introduction to Drums & Percussion
Push is incredible for creating beats and loops - faster than anything else I know. Learn how to use the basics of the Drum Mode and Drum Rack with Push. To go even deeper check out the Intermediate or Complete courses.
-
An introduction to scales
Push is an amazing way to use and access scales we don't know. Learn about the variety on offer, and why they can be so much fun to use.
-
Use VSTs and Plugins
Learn how to use your favourite VSTs and plugins with Push, some recommendations where to find free plugins, install them, and how to control their parameters with Push.
-
Sampling with Push

Creative Strategies With Push 2
Man! This is so good. I've had my push for a few days and have watched quite a few videos but this is the most inspiring.
Creative Strategies With Push 2
Brilliant stuff brother! This was the final 'push' I needed to pursue bringing one of these wondrous devices into my life and creative flow :) Thank you :)
Creative Strategies With Push 2
These videos are probably the most practical creative videos I've ever seen of someone demonstrating what push can do and I've seen a lot... Really inspiring and original work.
Creative Strategies With Push 2
Really great tutorial and fluidity in workflow. Really Radiohead-esque result near the end, which to my mind is about as much of a compliment as one could give. Please do indeed do more, far too talented not to share :)
