Still evaluating. So far learning how to use the in key mode and chromatic mode has been the biggest advantage. Once I over came the ergonomics, and recreated some melodies I’ve written on a keyboard and figuring out scale patterns out with @Divinci it’s starting make more sense. My opinion changes with each use so far. Pretty exciting, and thus far I haven’t make anything yet. It really is more instrument than controller. #ableton #push #x144 #iphoneonly #igdaily #instadaily #studio #music High-res

Ableton and Kontakt

Seem to not like each other. I find that Ableton takes up too much CPU in my opinion. And I feel the reason is this…it’s new software more than likely designed on new machines. Therefore it’s optimized to run great on newer computers.

My Mac Pro is 5 years old (early 2008). Still, it keeps up via a benchmark test. I think it might be my slow ram (800mhz).

Mac Pro 2013 is mine. Saving my pennies.

Mind you I just reinstalled everything for the second time. I’m back on Lion. Mountain don’t like my Mac Pro either. But these are first world problems.
