Recently bought a new bit of gear for my home studio room.

Hey Everyone,

Firstly, if anyone is getting a little worried about me, I'm okay.

Secondly, I recently bought myself a new bit of gear for my home music studio, it's a second-hand Ableton Push, ok so what's an Ableton Push?, it's a midi controller that's specially designed to work seamlessly with Ableton Live, it lets you concentrate on making music rather than staring at a computer monitor, here's a pic of my Ableton Push:

Perfect score. You won't regret that purchase mate. Push one is less overwhelming than Push2 and something you can always upgrade to. Editing waveforms is better done on the bugger screen I rekon.

A mate of mine reckons they retailed in Australia for Au$2000.00 when they were first released, I got mine for only Au$350.00 so it was a bargain, just need to learn how to use it now.

This time next week, you'll be all over it. Easy and as intuitive as Ableton itself

I do find Ableton Live an easy Daw to work with, most of my old tracks were made in FL Studio, but I've sort-of been getting a little tired of it, so I thought it would be good to take a break from FL Studio for a while and try making some new tracks in Ableton Live, Ableton are offering an upgrade for Live 10 Lite to Live 10 standard for only Au$160, but the offer is only valid for this month, seriously thinking of getting the upgrade.

That's totally worth it. You'll find you won't need to keep going DAW shopping once you get into what Ableton has to offer.

What I like most about Ableton Live is it's really good beat-matching, making beats on the Ableton Push is pretty easy, it makes music-making a lot more fun.

I also bought myself a second-hand Akai MPK 49 midi controller keyboard as well.

Have you also bought a baseball cap with the peak at the back? ;)

Lol, nah, don't think I'll go that far, although I was sorely tempted, I could have gone with the Liam Howlett (The Prodigy) look, to boost my artistic integrity, but I digress....lol.

Just bought myself a copy of Ableton Live 10 Standard, Ableton are offering it as an upgrade for Au$160.00 for this month (May 2020) only, so I thought now was as good a time as any to "take the plunge" so to speak, so far it seems to be running well with no issues on my Acer Aspire 5 laptop.

Here's a pic of Ableton Live 10 Standard running on my Acer laptop:

It's working great with my Ableton Push 1.
