Get Started

My name is Brian Funk. I’m a musician and producer under the name AfroDJMac and an Ableton Certified Trainer. I’m really excited to introduce my new video course for Warp Academy, Ableton Push 2 Jump Start.

Push 2 is an instrument designed by Ableton, that gives you the tightest integration possible with Ableton Live.

My favorite way to interact with Ableton Live is without a doubt Push 2. It has streamlined my workflow, helped me write better music in the studio, and brought my live performances to new levels.  Best of all, I just love writing music with it.  It’s such a fresh and exciting way of working that allows me to ditch the mouse and keyboard, roll up my sleeves and feel like I’m working with an instrument, not a computer.

The high resolution display on Push 2 gives incredible visual feedback for your music and this course will teach you how to use it to create and manipulate samples, control instruments and effects, and mix and perform your music, and much more.

In this course, we will explore every button, knob, and function that this amazing piece of hardware offers.
