I wish Apple did half as good of a job enthusiastically promoting Garage Band as this guy.

The world is not ready to hear this sermon but you gotta keep preaching! ♥

I mean, if you're a sample based producer, then it truly is a chopping board 😄

You deserve an award for this one. Love the rendition of welcome to the jungle.

Beautiful, the punk rock attitude is really strong on this episode.

The "seems like we human really evolved from monkeys" made me crack up. Thanks for the vid, withthe money I've saved with your GAS Therapy videos I'm halfway through being able to afford real therapy. And the demo bassline sounds like Gainsbourg, I loved it!

Correction! Ableton Live DOES use spacebar to play/stop in arrangement view, I must smoked some on the trouble water. I need to give Ableton Live another shot, it's way easier than Reaper, although it might seem not. Also want to share a story about “朝三暮四”. “朝三暮四” (Three at Dawn and Four at Dusk) is an ancient Chinese idiom about a group of monkeys get tricked by how their host feeds them. The host used to gave each monkey 8 chestnuts for each day, but as he got older and poorer, he decided to only feed 7 for each to maintain his wealth, 3 for morning, 4 for evening. Monkeys got angry, started to make loud noises, jump up and down against the idea. Then the host came up with another one: "How about 4 in the morning and 3 in the evening?” Then, monkeys were satisfied. It has been thousands of years since this story, but seems like monkeys never change.

Everyone knew this was coming 😎😎😎 Here before Weaver Beats reacts to this 😎 Love you Massive Hater 😘

I feel like the point about KZfaqrs not using the gear they promote was spot on, and some one needed to say it. I'm guessing most of these big channels that do this kind of promotion all have storage closets full of gear they never use :D

'I just know what im doing' BASED

Finally true speech about all this pushers. Thank you for what you are doing!

If you don't have an MPE controller or iPad, most DAWs allow you to automate MPE features. Studio One (The Artist version is the best cheap DAW imo), Ableton, and Bitwig have the best examples of this! Edit: Beat Pads, Velocity KB, and KB-1 are excellent MPE iPad apps!

Hi! I don't understand the bit about the space bar. That's how you hit play in Ableton- the space bar. I've been using Ableton since v4 and it's always been the space bar! Other than that bit of confusion, I love your videos. Cheers!

Personally, I found it easier to teach myself piano and theory than figure out how to get one of these "easy instruments" to do what I want. Cheaper too - keyboards don't tend to reach the $2k range unless you're looking at full-blown workstations.

You absolutely killed this video. You need Grammy award of KZfaq content for this video.

11:32 cool video but wrong information here. Space bar = play in Ableton. You might be in piano keyboard mode or something like that (maybe 2 locators in same place) if not working. Other than that, a big thank you for your amazing work! 12:15 so true 😢

The only Guy that really explain the truth of the real problems of new gear and their problems!thank you for your personal point of view!

I love witnessing this channel go from kinda asmr to sheer rage, honestly i feel like we all have lived that trajectory

Thank you for the great storytelling.

Gold as always. 🤘🏻. Omg I literally LOL’ed at “shanananana-Knees” 😆

This is gonna evolve into “how this DAW software should improve” series because I remember you telling me some DAWs and plugins are poorly developed. I would pay to see that

I have fallen in love with your videos. We all have that gas feeling. Even tho I am a lover of Ableton and all of the max for live stuff. I think it's super important to keep these things in mind. I love using my iPad as a controller. It even has a gyroscope and accelerometer in it! In fact I've found that I find more musical inspiration comes for me through controlling modulation parameters than playing notes most of the time. I've gotten a launkey25 a for school and just don't use it all that much.

An interesting middle way is Beardyman who uses both - Ableton Live and multiple Ipads as midi input Btw - thanks - I totally overlooked how cool Garage Band is on Ipad

2:53 it's nice to see you break out of your angry persona for a second. I'd like to see more of happy and genuine Michael, you came across as charmingly genuine there. In MY opinion. 😅

The neat thing about Garageband for iOS is that there's MORE than enough sample packs to get the job done---for free.

Thank you, Michael 👍🏻 Your videos help me understand the value of IOS and Mac OS.

the world appreciates your service

YOU’VE AWAKEN ME FROM THE MUSIC GEAR MATRIX

A delicious rant and reason dose of GAS therapy. Thanks

I have the same iPad Mini, found it extremely underwhelming at the time as I could only get one "synth" to play at a time. Tried multitracking using a Zoom H6 and it was just impossible. An old laptop with tiny11 Windows and REAPER is just miles away for recording, no stuttering at all. Granted, MPE iOS synths can be fun but I hate the tactility of the glass screen.

Take a bow Michael love this video

I love the Push 3, but I swear a demo guy even said they were using the same tech as capacitive touch screens on phones and tablets when showing it off 😂

you are 100% right, yet, i love my push controller. it changed the way how i make music, radically, wth all its quirks & limitations. i really like the channel and agree w/ everything though :) also motorized faders and endless knobs are the way to go imho bc only these can support preset recalls and automations properly. i made more than 500 improvisations (on record, all vods on my channel) in about 1 year with the push. if i wouldn't use it would have sold it already.

Lmao i was playing the drum set yesterday on garage band thinking exactly this.

I’m always amazed on how the “illusion” of value blinds people to spend a lot of money.

You are saving everyone tons of money!

Spacebar play is the same in ableton as everywhere else but I still love this video lol

😂 you had me dying when you started quoting Welcome to the Jungle

A launch pad mini is about 20 quid and works great on iPad , boom there is your 64 pads , I used one for years with my iPad, I have the MPC one now and I think it was worth the money I paid as it forces me to concentrate on one device

The first DAW I ever used was GarageBand. Our school bought these new old cubic sized apple computers and they had GB installed. Playing around with all the loops and arranging them to have a full song took only minutes. Every student was able to create a full song without any knowledge about music theory. We did not need any tutorial explaining how the program works. We were like 12 years old and using garage band came natural to us. For years I have been playing around with all kinds of music programs on my iPhone until I bought a launchpad pro mk3. Ableton live Intro came with it for free so I gave it a try on my PC. I watched a few hours of KZfaq tutorials and made great progress every time. Now I wish I would have tried ableton live years ago. It’s my favorite DAW by far.

man really turned welcome to the jungle to a cypher lol

Your comments about people wanting an 'easy instrument that plays chords and scales to make them look cool' just about sums it up. The £1,669 Push 3 'Chopping Board' cannot use Ableton's arrangement view or run 3rd party free VSTs but my £69 Ableton LIve Intro, PC version can (this is not cool, IMO). Thank you Michael for GAS Therapy. 🙂

Do GS therapy for SOMA Pulsar!

2:55 that was perfect brother 😂

You are the hero we all need.

"thank god its not a les paul guitar" *instantly subscribes***

Eight mouses on a computer is the future of music

HOLY SMOKES! You have finally reached Gordon Mah Ung (PC World) levels of rant! Paul Chato would also be proud. Of course you are right about YT ‘influencers’. They are all shills. Anyhoo I can support your efforts any way you like, but NOT THROUGH PATREON. Sorry to yell. I’ll get your plugins, and your finger drumming course, etc. only if available without Patreon.

For Fl Studio our push 3 is IL Remote... also free...

O.M.G. that GnF'nR in the middle. So deadly!

Yeah that thing is super expensive. The orba 2 or keith mcmillen kboard paired with garage band or zen beats and then you don't even need a laptop to get a similar sound to the push3

But you don't buy the Push3 only for the MPE pads, it's an Ableton controller that now also have MPE pads. ...and yeah if you don't have the money there are workarounds. But it's not exactly the same to play on a touchscreen vs. pads with haptical feedback.

lool, i love it. sometimes i find myself opening someone’s eyes about a 10yo tech too. many people somehow missed the fact that iOS has already solidified itself as portable music-production-compatible environment a looong time ago. it was literally the segment for the development of iOS from the ground up, even when the OS itself hadn’t any software solutions available for users, it has already had a ported version of CoreAudio (the audio core Apple uses for their desktop systems for audio-related tasks and is the solution they’ve based their GarageBand and Logic Pro around, and it’s still so to this day). and the very first iOS version (iPhoneOS at that time) had CoreAudio on its board. so they clearly started to think about portable music creation workflow way earlier than anyone else. so practically whatever any of today’s portable-ish external gear’s is capable of - by most part it has already been implemented years ago to a more compact touch-screen oriented format in iOS realm. 80% is possible to achieve within free software, but if you could spare 30-40 bucks on additional software (like AUM or Drambo, etc.) then you’re practically light years ahead of capabilities of Push 3 or any similar gear - and it’s with a device that fits in your pocket and way faster than those external solutions in terms of processing power. -- btw, i believe you got the part about track limitations in GB a bit incorrect. as far as i remember, it supports up to 32 tracks. at least in case of iPad Mini 1st Gen. it’s still higher than a basic Ableton 16-track version though, so your point is relevant anyway.

that ableton push thingy looks insane but.... I do think I would prefer something with physical pads to an ipad screen. If I knew how to build a midi controller myself like that, I would do it and cut out all of the stuff I dont need.

Friendly Dragon strikes Again 🕺🏆🎼

Not including the software with the Push 3 is just bullshit. I don’t even want to use Live anymore. I can absolutely get by with Reaper.

👏🏻Awesome video! Going to dive into some Garage Band now.

My head is broken. Thank you so much.

You are the best music KZfaqr I followed. Brilliant. Thank you!

FL Studio's synths have been doing this for years!

Ableton live lite uses spacebar to play, but to record it's annoying that one must use both hands. It's a drag while holding a guitar.

Well, Logic Remote for iPad and Logic on Mac is also a grrrrreat combo!

Oh man!! You are something else. Excellence!!

Great démonstration! You killed them....

yes

​i get if u dont like the push but ableton the daw is amazing

YOU SAID EVERYTHING I WANTED TO SAY EVER.

OUTRO WAS SO GOOD IM GLAD I STAY TILL END.

an ipad with a good midi control app is basically the LCD screen on a push 2

And don't forget the closet space you'll need for the box so you can sell it on reverb in 6 months.

I'm so glad I found this video, your humor is absolutely killing me!! 😆

never used mpe... it's great but not vital to compose... PITCHBEND Wheel juste One thing old as MIDI is one thing barely used by musician other than skilled ones. I recommand to watch this old KSHMR tuto where he use pitch bend at each end note in a melody.... brief MPE will be for later. Thx for your videos

I got to the point where I do everything with my android cell phone, between zen beats, koala sampler. But I have a dried who used garage band to write a sound track to a feature film.

11:46 Ouch! I can confirm that that truth hurts. But better that than delusion; clawing my way out of my cave. In my opinion . . .

awesome as usual

I wish GB on iPad supported easily exporting stems, but at this point neither does the Push 3 lol

So refreshing. So true.

I needed this video! i started saving up! lol

Seriously. Dude is just so right

WE ARE 🐵🐵🐵😂 Love you, Michael! 🙏🏻❤️☮️ Thanks so much, again and again!

Music industry may vanish you. Hire some bodyguards😂

We are only monkeys with money bro! LOL

this video was HILARIOUS! "Space bar should be the only legal way to play music"

I never gave up on GarageBand and thank you for this..... joining your Patreon...

So what I'm getting from this is that you're not a stalker

Great video!

"stupidly designed shoebox" I love this.

i cannot love this video more

You are very funny, and I appreciate you just saved me a ton of money. I was going to buy an expensive midi controller. Instead, I will use my tablet and/ or my old midi casio keyboard. all I need to buy is a 5 pin wire to usb and I am ready! thanks a bunch!!!

What makes Reaper most anti humanity designed DAW? It's the most efficient, customizable, flexible DAW out there. GB doesn't even have 10% of what Reaper has.

If only Apple would have used their tech forward thinking to improve the UI experience of GarageBand. Every time I try to use it, I find it so clunky. For most music gear, once you get past anticipating how it might work for you, the real value is in how it creates a unique workflow. As a guitarist, I’ve learned that different types of guitars cause me to play different styles more. For e-gear like samplers, grooveboxes, or even iPad apps, the workflow and speed of doing makes or breaks it. That’s the only thing we should be evaluating when watching influencer gear videos. Does that device have a workflow I would gel with and is it worth the cash to find out. I love me some iPad apps, but I also love a well placed knob, fader or button too.

I have Push 2 and the 6/8 week order time probably stopped me from copping 3. (Never give customers that much time to think.) So I asked myself… Can’t I get a cheap MPE controller? (In the simpler one shot far right there’s a button called MPE!) Do I need stand alone? (We have laptops to travel with. Why limit yourself to push capability when a whole Ableton can travel with you.) Do need 2 hours of beatmaking time on a 5 hour flight?) I like looking at my computer. Watch enough hype and you will be affected. Sometimes we need a rude awakening.

Nothing against reaper reaper was the only digital audio workstation that supports user accessibility for blind people it’s great you know

This is the best Review of Ableton Push 3! I love Ableton Live, but I have the same opinion... Garageband is one of my Sketchbook for my Musikproduktion

Thank you making this video! Have you noticed the push 3 videos are slowing up. People are hitting all those bugs and limitations.

hah. I'm still using my OG Push from 2013 XD Apes, not monkies :P

I have a old ipad but you can not download garage band to old devices. Only newer IOS supports download for most apps from the store. And thanks to apple I would have to jailbreak it to get a old version.

Fax , GB is one of my favorites. Instantly subbed 🔥

So, buy apple? Isn't that a whole new level of ass hattery? Edit: love the post credits scene! ALL OF THEM

The king. Thank you. Huge ableton fan but the push 3 has been so overhyped
