Let me know if you're OK with this level of quality for tutorials, or if you prefer the more edited/produced style of video. I prefer doing these because they're quick & easy, but I understand they're maybe not as fun/easy to watch. If you want a TON of videos like this, I've been updating my HCA Feed over at live.mrbillstunes.com/hca-feed/ every other day with them :) Enjoy!
We are happy with the knowledge that you share, the style of content doesn't matter (we enjoy both) 🤗 waiting for TAOMB new season with live11 😎 Can you make a video on OTT. Thank you 😁
Really enjoy how you don't try to explain everything you're doing but rather go at you normal workflow. Great for intermediate users who are likely familiar with a lot of what you're already doing but are eager to get to the point and also observe you in your natural setting, which is impressively fast and efficient.
14:47 may not be so clear for some. His EQ dip was based off of that resonant tonk in the mids - changing pitch would shift that. Printing the sample and FX onto the sample (flatten) means that as the pitch is changed, the FORMANTS are also shifted (the static EQ imposed onto the sample). Because of his mid range dip on the EQ he wants this. You may not always want this. You may wish to treat the frozen audio independent of the FX. Flatten prints the FX onto the sample. Also note, they gave us an audio fact sheet on this stuff in the Live 11 manual - "Frozen clips are always played back with Warp on and in Beats mode, which means they are subject to the same non-neutral behavior as any other Warped audio files. " p.783 Live manual. So - if you want those artifacts from beats mode, you are fine changing pitch frozen. If not, flatten and change your warp mode.
always great content! I dig the low level production vids also, the post production editing is a nice touch, but the info/ideas talked about is more important in my opinion
We love the editing and quality of your videos like Insane Subs but watching you just mess around on Ableton is helpful in a different way. Keep it up, Bill!
Will be great to have a tutorial of your actual mastering chain, and more about how to mastering with out sound engineer, & loudness. Love your tuto as always thanks for the work.
this format includes you going a bit more freeform and off on a few extra tangents that always give me just as much great info as the main subject. love watching you work uninterrupted :)
I like both kinds of videos you make but prefer unedited if I had to choose. It’s honestly inspired me to start sharing my tips in the same way since I don’t have to have Andrew Huang level video and lighting skills to still contribute to the body of knowledge that is music(no shade, I love all his stuff)
Came across HD-4884 in 2019 and saw a live session of his for like 2 secs, this is his signature sound, on his music, personally he kills it and is the mastermind behind this technique! Anyways love you Mr. Bill
Have you shifted fully to live 11? Cliphx pro does not work in live 11! Found out only after I purchased it. But these are great tutorials! Thankyou!!!❤️
Yes but to actually change the volumes the program needs to internally multiple the sine wave by its inverse. That's (apparently, i didn't know this until recently) how filters work
Just know that operator can be just as useful and powerful as the name brand synth plug-ins such as Serum and Massive. It's just knowing how to use certain sound effects in both aspects of how they effect sound and how they work. All the rest is layering, patterns, sound design, mixing and mastering (definitely a bunch more, I just can't think of them atm) Edit: Frequency Modulation galore. Have fun with it. And no matter how much it seems as if there is nothing more to learn, keep searching for things to learn. (Comment for those who may be getting into making edm)
I know andrew huang has an audio interface with two headphone outs, and he sends one out to a physical single-purpose sound recorder. Don't know if you have that kind of gear but it seems like a reasonable way to do it. Better than messing around with channels and accidentally overloading the computer
Yah I know that's also a way to do it but the problem with this method is that it's twice conversation and what I mean by that is you convert digital signal to analogue and then you feed that analogue to a digital recorder wich also concerts the signal to digital then you put it on RUclips and then RUclips compression again messes with the audio so I don't know how it will sound at the end on RUclips.
A lot of times, you say a sound is "good" or "bad" and, well, I'm not always sure what you mean? Like I'm not understanding how you're discerning what's good or bad. At 8:15 you illustrate one example I guess, with turning all the processing off, and I can see how that is obviously bad, but there are other times when you're mucking about making a sound or auditioning a snare or something and I'm just like, it just sounds different 🤔 but you generally go on to add more processing and do indeed make it sound better. But yea I'm just like where is this discernment coming from and what are you listening for?
I think its a mix of personal taste and experience listening to a lot of music? I know i often have a gut reaction wheres its like "oh thats a good sound" but then i look at the clipping and i get scared im doing something "wrong". I need to get over that. Sounds are sounds. If it sounds good it is good.
just had an idea as im sitting here.... a song called "mr bill n' chill", that starts with a monologue "hey baby, you wanna come over? ive got every season of mr bill tutorialls illegally downloaded" blah blah blah long story short the point is that watching mr bill together is considered a date

any tutorial you make is a blessing anyways. If this allows you to make more tutorials, that would be the best thing in the world!
We are happy with the knowledge that you share, the style of content doesn't matter (we enjoy both) 🤗 waiting for TAOMB new season with live11 😎
Can you make a video on OTT.
Thank you 😁
Since you asked, I like these videos better. Clear understanding and we get the whole process on how that device is used while making changes
This works well for me, also perfectly agree with Manit :))
Of course master
This is crammed with useful info. If this is an easy video to make, I say keep 'em coming.
modulator mode is definitely the coolest mode. i never knew what that base knob in saturator did until now haha! thanks bill
"I'm recording a modulator. This is my modulator."
Don't mess with my emotions. I am getting nostalgic easily...
I miss those days...😭
hunununununun *pfft*
i still send friends that FLP instead of actual projects as a joke during collabs
I prefer this less edited form. More time to let everything register in my brain
I would love if you did an in-depth neuro bass tutorial
Alckemy's tutorials are good but I'd still love to see Mr. Bill share his thought process when it comes to neuro basses
I've done one already on the HCA feed also! live.mrbillstunes.com/reese-neuro-bass/
Also the most in depth neuro bass tutorial i have seen is the recently released one by koan sound, on their patreon
Seconded Alckemy

If this means we get shorter and more concise tutorials and get them more frequently then I'm all for it!

Thanks for giving us this! Your tutorials are the best.
I don't even do music production and this is fun to watch
As you mentioned on your podcast, as far as I get an info, does not really matter whether it's edited or not.
It doesnt matter what format, I honestly like watching you on Twitch for a session. Even that tip about M/S EQ you showed in 1min was a great tip.
this format includes you going a bit more freeform and off on a few extra tangents that always give me just as much great info as the main subject. love watching you work uninterrupted :)
Thank you Bill for all that you do. Also new album is fucking great!
love from Russia
oh, that low reese narrow bandwidth sound, pretty sick. Will have a play around w that for sure!
These are the kind of vids I prefer, thank you mr bill!
Great Tutorial! I enjoy both the edited and non edited videos you produce, thank you for your time and effort!!!
Vocoder as an EQ...splendid idea. You made my day !
Love your vids dude, and your music. Very thankful to have people willing to teach this stuff!
I’m just excited to see another video, 20-30 min videos are pretty digestible for me
Jesus, every damn video of you is the coolest! Learnt so much!
That neuro bass rack was crazy, I tried to follow along myself - it didn't sound so good 😂
I like both kinds of videos you make but prefer unedited if I had to choose.

dude you are looking extremely San Francisco. it's a good look. hope to see you in Sunset eating vegan pizza and drinking wine
Something new to play with for the entirety of this month!!!
great tips here! cant wait to use this
yess vocoder is such a great kinda weird sound design tool
These type of videos are great. No need to edit so much.
Hey man, great vids. Quick question - how do you not get feedback through your mic? are you monitoring via your speakers? How are you doing this?
Very cool way to use the vocoder. Thanks!
dank. def going to be exploring that bandwidth trick
Came across HD-4884 in 2019 and saw a live session of his for like 2 secs, this is his signature sound, on his music, personally he kills it and is the mastermind behind this technique! Anyways love you Mr. Bill
Yes! Love anything that reminds me about a vocoder :) Best, ”Mr Bill taught me everything”
Yes!
Thank you Mr bill ❤
Have you shifted fully to live 11? Cliphx pro does not work in live 11! Found out only after I purchased it. But these are great tutorials! Thankyou!!!❤️
went to subscribe but turns out I already am.. awesome work
Absolutely such a cool video man! shot
It would be cool to know what's in that rack of your personal OTT :), thanks for all your content and always sharing your knowledge man.
I just posted it here; live.mrbillstunes.com/content-locked/?r=517483&wcm_redirect_to=post&wcm_redirect_id=517483
@@MrBillsTunes thanks man, lol unfortunately I'm not signed up but I appreciate the response!
Legend
Cool I am happy that Mr Bill has started working again. 😊At last!
Vocoder I know: Daft Punk voice
Vocoder bill show: a super EQ
[2:05] please dont mind me if it's a stupid question, but what was the auto filter used for?
Would love a video on that OTT rack :P
Mr Bill, an eq is not phase inverting anything as you Said, it’s just a band that gets moved up or down in dB...
Yes but to actually change the volumes the program needs to internally multiple the sine wave by its inverse. That's (apparently, i didn't know this until recently) how filters work
That's a hell of a sub
Just know that operator can be just as useful and powerful as the name brand synth plug-ins such as Serum and Massive.

All the rest is layering, patterns, sound design, mixing and mastering (definitely a bunch more, I just can't think of them atm) Edit: Frequency Modulation galore.
Have fun with it.
And no matter how much it seems as if there is nothing more to learn, keep searching for things to learn.
(Comment for those who may be getting into making edm)
True, I tried out Ableton trial (FL user), and quickly found out operator is quite sick.
Awesome vocoder tip!!
Definitely gonna have a play around with that
just here to boost the algorithm
you are a great monster.
great video!!! thank you!
How do you record Ableton and the audio at the same time on a same computer?? I've been trying its really hard to do..
I know andrew huang has an audio interface with two headphone outs, and he sends one out to a physical single-purpose sound recorder.

Holy sheet!
Awesome stuff

Thank you so much!
5:00 Its like putting a physical snare rattle on a subwoofer
ty Mr Bill!
5:10 “You want it to sound distorted, not fucked.”
Well, I prefer more edited video, for the time, I just prefer short videos for tutorials, but if the tutorial need a lot of time, it’s ok :)
17:25 Hahaha. Relatable moment.
Love the vocoder
Sick
Hey Bill,
I love you
You sound very different in this video - have a cold maybe? or am i crazy? :P thanks for the sweet vid anyhow :)
He's from Australia, he always sounds like he has a cold! :D

Sick!
Great video
How do we feel about vocodex?
5:10 in other words you feel the sound more than you hear it lmao.

👍
