Gonna put this in spoiler tags because this is pretty off topic at this point and might be better served in the Push 3 threads.
Push 3 Workflow Stuff
To clarify, I’ve used Live for years. However prior to owning Push3 I had never really liked or made an efford to learn Session View - I came from FL Studio and prefer a linear arranger view. @Mistercharlie is correct that transferring a set from Push to Live is easy. My synths are all hooked up to my interface, which is hooked up to my computer. So when I am writing, monitoring, etc, it’s all done in standalone mode without the computer. Push 3 sequences my other stuff and audio from Push 3 is routed to my interface as well, because I’m not monitoring through the Push. Push 3 sequences my gear, and is my primary drum machine. Just like an MPC would be.
When I transfer a set from Push to Live, it retains all my previously created tracks. That’s great! However, if I want to record my other synths, I now have to create 5 - 8 new audio tracks to actually record my external synths. This is a pain and stops my flow. Normally, I’d just open a session of Ableton using my recording template which has all my routings, eq, etc, and call it a day. No faffing about needed, no interruption to the creative flow.
If I were just using the Ableton stock synths or if I were recording everything into the Push via an interface this wouldn’t be a problem. But as it stands, it isn’t as seamless as I would have hoped. As I’m typing this, I realized I could create a “template” set on the Push that has all my routings, with midi and audio tracks all set up, and copy it before starting new songs on the standalone. The only real problem there off the top of my head is potentially having a messy session view on the Push. That may or may not be an actual issue, but I suspect it would be fine in most cases.
