![]() They are even more important in live-performance situations where it’s so easy to be distracted and lose focus. They quickly become habits you depend on in the studio, especially when you’re working with more complex projects, where the more labelling and identification you employ, the faster you’re likely to work. There are a number of visual-feedback improvements relating to Push 2, and if you’re new to Live or DAWs in general, you might not appreciate how important colour coding and visual information are. Be sure to edit your drum rack’s Simpler instruments to be responsive to incoming velocity changes using the Vel>Vol setting in Simpler’s Controls tab it makes a big difference when it comes to personalising your racks. You can create really dynamic fills and breaks – it’s one of those things I couldn’t see the point of until I tried it. That integration is working, as full control over these new features is available from Push. They’re really just simple variations on what’s already possible, but they’ll speed up a lot of common slicing and sampling tasks and, like many features in Simpler, seem optimised to help make Push 2 more of a serious sampling platform/interface. In recent times, Simpler’s been getting a lot of love from Ableton, as it should – and the new slicing modes are interesting: Beat, Region, and Manual. In ongoing efforts to keep as up-to-date as possible, I’m using Push 2 for all of these tutorials – it probably won’t make any difference in most cases, but it’s something to bear in mind. You’ll see that alongside the typical fixes and tweaks, there are some major new features in 9.7 especially relating to Live’s interaction with Push, as that increasingly becomes the de facto control surface for our favourite DAW. What have you got to lose?! And as you’ll find out by reading this overview, you really do get a lot of bang for your (no) buck in this latest Live update. Live 9.7 is a free update for anybody using Ableton ‘s Live 9 – so download it as soon as you can. Ableton Live 9.7 was recently released, although I’ve been lucky enough to have been using the beta for a while now.
