Dark jam with the Ableton Push 3 Standalone (live performance)

video upload by Jay Hosking

"A live synthesizer jam performed entirely on the Ableton Push 3 Standalone, recorded to a stereo audio out.

I'm hoping to play some more live shows this year, and that means I want to create another live set. I thought that if I were creating a new live set, I might as well create a bunch of new songs at the same time. And if I were creating new songs, I might as well try a completely different style/genre of music.

So here's my first attempt. The Push 3 Standalone is still the best choice for me, in terms of making a live set. It has its limitations and foibles for performance, but in terms of sheer number of tracks and effects, in terms of sequencing length and arrangement, and in terms of reducing the mental juggling necessary during a set, the Push 3 works well for me.

Many of the tracks were bounced down to audio, to increase the number of elements in the song. I may also eventually add a stereo effects loop with the Zen Delay, but that's for a future video. For now, I'm happy with this template, and looking forward to creating more like it.

Thanks for listening.

Many in-the-box sounds used as well, notably Tympo from Teletone Audio, which was used for the drum sounds
