Ableton Push vs Maschine vs Livid Instruments Base

[Coldfuzion]

Ableton Push and Maschine MK II come and are used with specific software. The Base is just a MIDI controller. You have to keep that in mind. That said, i'd go with either Maschine or Push. Maybe if I hadn't used Maschine before and not been familiar with it i'd say Push hands down. However the Maschine is a powerful beast of it's own (I used to own the Mk. 1, now I own a Mk. II). I'm thinking about getting Push as well to use strictly with Ableton even though I do a lot of my work inside Maschine.

If I didn't own any though and was just starting out - Push hands down. I feel like it's literally a Maschine for Ableton from what i've seen so far.

if the maschine standalone isnt so limited compared to ableton I'd use it more (eg. no side chain??)

at the moment i always use maschine inside ableton anyway, so im thinking "heck would i still need maschine if i have the push?"

was gonna get the full sized maschine mk2 before but now after i saw the push, keeping my mk1 mikro and definitely getting the push

btw, push got any updates at namm this year?

I did not see anything while there, but namm is kind of big, so i could have missed it

I also have Maschine in Ableton due to limits in arrangement and send/returns. But I really like it that way to be honest. I'm using Maschine solely as an 'instrument' on a seperate number of channels in ableton. It works really well i think because you can do everything from the controller. So you can mind your business in ableton for everything like arrangements, leads and everything and keep the bassline and beats in Maschine (my workflow, could be different for other people).

Long story short; the visual feedback on maschine makes it a great part of ableton.

I can imagine the push can bea supplement this way.

Push all the way!
I've sold my maschine mk1 to buy the push.
Since i use ableton live i can't find any real use of maschine beside the beatmaking. Push can do more and more... and WITHIN live! it's just awesome.

Speaking of setup...
i have a MBP retina, impulse 101 25 keys, HDJ500, empire media s5500 studio monitors. And of course... the push as soon as ableton will release it!
Is the only thing i'm really missing.

really nice headphones but a litle bit expensive :S maybe one day


But now I have a problem.
I will go on tour starting this february on a project and in Portugal and Push is only available in stock on the 30th of March,
I dont know what to do, I really need it, maybe I´ll change for machine mk2 because I have no time to wait for Push, what do you think?
ohhh mannnn :S
