Sorry if this is beyond basic, but how in the world is the Push 2 supposed to connect to an external audio interface? We have a usb 2.0 output on the Push 2. Are there cables that go from this output to something on the interface? Many of the interfaces I see only have like 2 analog looking Mic/Line inputs. Do I need one that has MIDI input and find usb-to-midi cable? I don't understand this at all. Any help is GREATLY appreciated.Pro

Ableton Live is a Pro-Audio piece of software and works best with Pro equipment (that is what it is designed for) this means your sound card. The in-built audio cards in a computer are FAR from professional, in fact they are just 2 notches above a can and string. Jul 14, 2014  Ableton Push is an excellent controller/instrument for use in the studio. However, you can also use it when DJing as Tadhg Leonard demonstrates in part 1 of 3 in this mini series. As wonderful as Push is for both Studio Production and Live Performance, it is fair to say that it's not tailored to those who want to use a traditional DJing setup.

Ableton Push 2 is an instrument for song creation that provides hands-on control of melody and harmony, beats, samples, sounds, and song structure. In the studio, Push 2 allows you to quickly create clips that populate Live’s Session View as you work entirely from the hardware.

Do not worry, there is a way to do this.Likewise, you may get a similar message saying “this app is not compatible with your device” when you want to download certain apps on your iPad or iPhone, such as Netflix.See also:Older devices may not support the highest supported versions of iOS available.

Fwiw, I am needing external audio interface because I keep getting crackling noises, despite a brand new Asus i7, 16gb ddr4 ram, etc. Asio4all has not helped unfortunately. CPU load is low, but still crackling..So yesterday I finally caved in and bought a Push 2 (yeah, yeah, I know..) Went through the initial setup and everything was fine: connected to Live, did the firmware update and Push working exactly as advertised. The one thing I wasn't keen on, though, was the angled USB cable supplied with Push. This means that the cable is exiting Push to the right, which is the exact opposite of what I need in my setup, and means I have to bend the cable back on itself to make it fit. Not good. Anyway, this shouldn't be a problem, I just substitute in a 'straight' USB cable (one supplied with an HP printer, with the correct connectors and known to work) and the problem should be solved, right? Well, no. In fact things got a bit weird. I tried the new cable with both Live 9.5 and the Melodics app, both with and without Push's external PSU, and here's what happened:
Live 9.5. Initial logo screen on Push, but then goes blank. Live doesn't recognise Push at all. Still get the initial Logo even when Push's external PSU is not used (so must be getting power over USB at the very least), but apparently no data communication. Go back to the originally supplied USB cable and everything is fine again.

AbletonMelodics. Melodics could 'see' that Push was connected, but no response to the Push pads. Again, this was the same whether Push's PSU was connected or not (so power reaching Push over USB as before). Also (and this was very odd) the USB modem that I have connected to another USB port on my PC stopped working when trying to use Push with Melodics via the substitute USB cable. This wasn't just coincidence, I repeated the experiment several times with identical results. When I went back to the original USB cable, everything worked fine.

So.. is there something 'special' about the USB cable that Ableton supply with Push? The only visible difference is that the Ableton-supplied cable has a cylindrical 'hump' in it which I assume is some kind of interference suppressor (???) I'm pretty sure that the substitute cable was seated properly too, though this is something I could investigate further. I may have a couple of other substitute cables that I could also try this evening. I really don't want to carry on using the angled USB cable because it looks ugly bent over the way it is and I don't think the internal conductors are going to last long being bent like that.

Any thoughts?
