In this video filmed at our INPUT event earlier in 2015, Mr. Bill takes us through a series of tips he put together to help you work faster in Ableton Live - from rethinking your mouse (or trackpad) set up to optimising your rendering techniques and plenty more in-between.
Mr. Bill probably needs little introduction in these parts, but in case you’ve never heard the name - Mr. Bill (real name Bill Day) is an Australian producer and sound designer equally renown for his complex bass orientated music as he has become for his seemingly endless supply of jaw-dropping Ableton Live tips.
Stay tuned as we’ll be releasing part 2 from Mr. Bill’s talk very soon in which he demonstrates how he creates his bass-lines as well as a simple, yet very powerful, technique he refers to as ”preset mashing”.

Nice to see Mr Bill talking about Ableton - he's the only instructor who teaches the really good shit.
"Save 2 million seconds" - Mr. Bill
+jscizzle22 ur welcome ;)
+jscizzle22 Actually you would save 4 million seconds since you´re saving 2 seconds 2 million times xd
True. Still tickles me either way.
+Mr. Bill why do you use audio over midi for drums and arrangement view instead session view
a day only has 86400 seconds...
great video. Thanks for sharing. I love the shortcut of recording multiple channels to one new audio track.
LOL, Slynk just chilling in the front row xD Awesome
Hectic
saw it and wanted to comment xd
Great work as always.
love this guys sound design
yea this is so good, i love seeing videos of famous people working in general
I feel like I am your roommate, because I always have your videos playing in my house. lol I hope to soak up as much info from you as possible. Thanks for always bringing QUALITY tips for Ableton to the masses!
+Nathan Shores Thanks for watching Nathan! Hope to catch you at a INPUT in the future!
Thanks Mr. Bill!
Reducing the mouse speed really made a difference for me. I'm faster and more precise with my mouse now.
Cheers!
nice tips, I completely agree with the reverb thing, it's so hard to work with visually
Even so these tips may seem like common knowledge
I learned quite a bit.
E.A. taking simple shortcuts and using them in abundance in control over a ton of channels at a time via resample. A lot easier than rendering them all out, thats for sure
The annoyingly skilful, Mr. Bill, ladies and gentleglitches! :)
Is that Slynk in the front row?
looks like him yeah!
hahaha spotted! makes sense...
thats what I'm saying
Part 2, guys?
Oh shit! I see @slynk front row 1:22
4:25 is it Slynk sits in the 1st row second place from the left?
Nothing new to me at all, but thanks for sharing!
+Gregore1988 alrighty then.
The shortcut shown at 3:56 was broken in Ableton 9.5. The start and endpoints no longer stay in tact and are reset to the beginning and ending of the entire sample. I hope Ableton fixes this in the next update.
+Bryan McGuire Is that because of the new & improved Simpler device?
+Felix Degenaar The feature is broken in the new & improved Simpler device. I don't know if it's intentional.
But don't get me wrong. I love Simpler's new slice to midi like mode and the filters from "The Drop."
I actually have the opposite philosophy with my mouse sensitivity. I like to be able to reach the entire screen with the natural range of motion of my wrist and fingers.
Me too - just because of less hand-ache, though.
What about rendering a Bass that has side-chain compression on it? Ableton doesn't like when I try to do that :/
Any good work around?
Resampling Or Rendering Out
I fixed this by moving my sidechain to a return track. Set the tracks you want sidechained to "Sends Only" so you don't double your signal. This is good for a couple of things, you save time, you save CPU, every track ends up sidechained equally + your rendered track will be left with the same settings
Morten Bjordal thanks i took this advice and its great
Post Morten 👏
Do u Guys know how to snap to grid the automations lines?
+Liosbel Tamayo select time from one grid line to the next then hold shift and raise the automaton line in that area. This creates 2 perfectly quantised automation points - one at the start and one at the end of your time selection
Thank you!!
"like" -Mr.Bill 2015
He like, almost says like as a like filler word like half as many times like as me.
Do you guys offer online courses? Thank you.
+Melo D Hey! Liveschool will be launching online courses for 2016. Bookings will be available within the next couple weeks, and intakes will commence mid-2016. Feel free to get in touch at connect@Liveschool.net so we can help you with any questions you may have!
+Student Support That's cool. I am excited. I know that I am an intermediate Ableton user, nevertheless I will learn a lot from you guys :)
+Melo D Great! Looking forward to hearing from you :)
We speedrunning now
This guy is living in 2075. Thanks for the tips
You really need to understand english to understand him! HAHAHHA! But thanks! Great tips!
Hmmmm
Don't think he mentioned something I find useful regarding rendering (at least single tracks never really tried for multiple at once). If you freeze a midi track and drag the clip on to an audio track it will convert it to audio instantly... don't have to record and play back or search through browser for the file.
"that shit"
I’m a dumb dumb
Slynk! And a knockoff Adobe Cloud logo!
shit - I typed wrong: wasted 2 seconds :-)
Im offended by the lack of gender equality in the crowd
not very pleasant to listen to though, bit of a nasal sound
There is about as much physics to software as there is NASA gear in a recording studio. smh
