The hood
Just got the thing. It's like light years ahead of the functionality of my old mpc. Being able to chop up a bar into 16 bits with a few clicks is insane. Used to take my like 30min fine tuning. Chromatic in key mode is also mind blowing https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=WonRC4w8nQo go to 2:11 seconds if you haven't seen it. Best piece of kit in a long time.

Yep, Ableton Push is one of the most powerful tools in my studio (and I have a pretty awesome studio!) Love it!
 
Know of any good sites with performances?

Any of your tracks completed with it?

Well, Ableton Push is just a controller, but a powerful one, so I depend on it to complete all of my tracks. I use it more than going to the Computer's keyboard/mouse (which is the whole point of it); to add tracks, launch clips and sessions, play notes/sounds dynamically, adjust volume and effects levels in real time, etc. There is just SO much you can do with it... I love the note repeat function which I use on Pan Drum sounds and Hammered Dulcimer sounds for example.

Ableton's own site has a ton of cool performance videos of Push as well as tutorials that they showcase all the time. Here's their latest one - https://www.ableton.com/en/blog/abayomi-push-chemistry-beats/ Notice he has his laptop out of site and is controlling it all from Push!
