Re: Ableton Push 3
#2Been making electronic music for well over a decade, but always in the classic DAW arrangement view, at most using MIDI keyboards in terms of haptic input devices but relying on mouse and keyboard 95% of the time. I look at devices like Push or Maschine and my immediate thought is how tedious it seems to get anything done with them. I find the different approaches to manifesting musical ideas endlessly fascinating.

#6Wow, I guess the zeitgeist now is to make upgradeable/repairable devices.
That's very cool, I like it.

It's probably a Linux stack. A lot of pro-audio companies have internal Linux versions, but don't ship them because of support / packaging reasons (which are miserable on Linux). That goes away for embedded usage.

It's a 'barrier to entry' thing. To get the kind of skills that you need for good keyboard work is a lifetime of dedication, but once you've got it it is very quick and easy compared to something like the Ableton Push and other such devices.
But that initial barrier is such that a beginner will be able to get much more mileage out of such a device. They might never even run into the limitations though it may limit the musical space that they can work in on some dimensions.
In the end what matters is the result, not so much how it was reached.

I find grid based systems like Ableton great for getting short loops together but making the jump to a finished track is a lot harder.
I have folders full of sketches I've built up in years of using it but very few things I'd call finished.
