Understand production workflow
The Ableton Push has changed the way Ableton users produce and perform. Workflow is everything and understanding how best to maximize this instrument is what this course is all about.
Content and Overview
Drum Programming
Drum programming is one of the many strengths of the Ableton Push. You will learn how to program drums 3 different ways. We start with finger/pad drumming techniques and explain how to setup your loop lengths and quantize settings for best results. Then we create a house beat while explaining step sequencing with the Push. Finally we conclude with the Hybrid Technique of finger/pad drumming and step sequencing. The main workflow technique we showcase through all three methods is Subtractive Drum Programming.
Notes, Chords and Scales
The isometric keyboard on the Push allows users to create melodies with ease. The scale function creates a fast way to create melody or bass lines in any key or scale you desire. Learning a few different chord shapes will allow you to play many chords in any scale. The melodic step sequencer is another creative tool for creating baselines and melodic lines you might not normally make.
Sampling Workflow
With the latest 9.5 release of Live, Ableton has completely changed the sampling game for Push users. The upgrade to the simpler instrument has taken the sampling process on the Push to an incredible new level. Offering a number of new tools inside of simpler along with the ability to warp samples allows us to time stretch instantly and manipulate samples any way we please. Chopping samples is just the beginning, learn to sample fast, from vinyl and other formats.
Recording Audio
There are a number of Push users who also play other instruments like guitar and bass. Understanding how to record and loop with the Push is a real mystery for some users. Learn to how to use a foot pedal to punch in and out and record live instruments with the Push. Mitch also explains how to connect a hardware synth and control it with the Push.
Arranging and Mixing
The Push is an incredible arrangement tool. Learn how to setup your clips in Ableton and learn Mitch’s macro arrangement technique with the Push. Take your ideas and loops and make them into sections of your tracks fast and efficiently. Learn what mixing facilities are available to Push users. Being able to meter on the Push 2 has made it much easier to get your mixes to a place where you can fine tune and make your tracks sit properly. The Push turns into a tactile tool for adjusting and tweaking your tracks while processing and working with plugins and vsts.

Benjamin Davis –
I really appreciate you taking the time to make these videos for us Ableton freaks (I’m proud to call myself that even though it’s not an official nickname for us). I receives Push 2 in the mail today (it was delayed from yesterday – but no matter, I used today to learn a lot about it). I’m grateful for you in helping me (and every other Push owner if they bought this lesson, which I hope they do.) understand this!! Thank you.
Kai Raabe –
I learned quite a lot about Push in a very short time. The explanations were easy to follow.
Ernest –
I just bought the Push 2, and this course made learning it a breeze!
Scott Vincent –
This was a well organized, thorough and helpful course.
James Converse –
I got a lot more than I expected, including many many shortcuts on push, equipment setup, and best practices.
Jared Packer –
Yes but resources are missing from Section 3: 64 Pad Jamming
Sundran Pillay –
There seems to be some gaps in the videos ,so it seems like not everything is being taught & things are left out. Not all the resource material is available.
Dominik Leib –
I only used this course and played along to learn how to use push and now I rarely have to look at the monitor while creating new ideas. I really liked the way you guys explained everything always in a context
Paul Jackson –
This course is excellent for new Push users. If you’re new to Ableton: learn the software first (before getting busy on the Push).
This course lays out everything in a very basic manner, and offers some basic music theory as well.
Thanks Mitch!
Martin Pegler –
Brilliant content and teacher.

I think it’s good for a beginner to learn on, but the problem I found was that the resource files are missing, haven’t been updated, and the instructor hasn’t responded to any questions in over a year. If you think you can get by without questions answered, then this could work for you. The section on Scales and Sequencing is helpful. The rest isn’t for me.
John John –
Excellent explanations , very quick reviews of what was covered in the section to really help the content stay in your mind. This review style is a very powerful learning tool that I have used for years to be successful in my studies in college.
This is a really well-planned and executed course.
