Probably one of the best tips in the video. Good insight. And clear language :D

31:52 "I just kind of eye-balled it and ear-balled it" this is what makes Mr. Bill's tutorials most entertaining to watch

40:08 "The way that a multiband compressor works is it needs to have split points... The way that a splitter works is by using EQs, and the way that an EQ works is via delays and phase." The sign of a great teacher is one who can break things down to it's essential properties and use these basic ideas to explain the most complex uses. Thank you for this lil nugget Mr. Bill. (Also Woulg is awesome)

Audience member: "Hey, Mr. Bill. You're amazing, love your music. How do you approach X thing that most people have a specific answer on and say there's a right and wrong way to do?" Mr. Bill: "Yeah I just fuck around and do everything wrong on purpose and then I find cool shit and then when it sounds bad later I do more super wrong shit until it sounds cool again. Also I don't really have any structure in general. That would be weird, it sounds like a nightmare. I would fucking hate that *chuckles*. But that might be good for some people." Audience member: "Uhhhhh.....ok, thanks?"

20 minutes in and he already has 15 audio effects grouped into one Operator, and still dinking around with it. This is what I came here to see, now it's time to get the popcorn!

One of the best free videos on his KZread definitely worth watching all the way through.

"The rt-60 is like 1 second in here..." and you'll be like "awe shit, how do I fix that?" I just lost it lol

1:22:00 Makes me think of something Amon Tobin said in an AMA which I remember as 'the more I work as an artist, the more convinced I am my role is simply to say yes or no'...

you're a legend bill

the part where he explained how EQs use phase absolutely blew my mind.

Mr. Bill, you are a genius and a saint - respectively, for fucking around to this extent and then sharing it.

super cool, very entertaining, lot of inspiration, thanks Bill! :) props to BPM College & Fusion Culture for making this happen

man i love recognizing the level you guys are at, i just been dabbling for 2 years, went to Pyramind (love you guys) in SF for music production. I enjoy these tutorials

How have I never heard of this guy until now? He's amazing and a genius

This was incredibly insightful and extremely to the point, especially when reacting to questions from the audience. Thanks for sharing!

that was incredibly helpful. Great to see someone developing techniques around the fact they sound good, not because people have told you not to do something. Super un-traditional production, which is fucking amazing.

Its so epic to see a poster with "Culprate" in the background

Big up to Mr Bill and his insane level of knowledge on music production skills and techniques. Thanks for sharing 🙏

Mr. Bill is the man for sharing such crazy tips and tricks all the time. Everyone else's tutorials are boring in comparison.

I just rewatched after three years. Watched all the way through.

Thankyou so much! Kickstarted me back into music production and i'm loving it again!

I ate two avocados while watching this.

This is so insanely dense with info. I’m going to have to relisten like 2-3 times. Great stuff.

So many gems in here. Mr Bill is the 🐐

thank you! excellent work very inspiring

Amazing crowd asking all the right questions 😀

;) Yeah, sure they do...

im like 35 minutes in and already impressed. (1) the man came prepared but even better (2) he has actually no qualms sharing his process / knowledge (because hes confident in his music meaning: not everyone who has the 'secret knowledge', will get the same sound / quality of tracks).

48:45 basically, fast-fourier transform (FFT) is one of the core algorithms of digital signal processing, and is based on the law that states any signal of any complexity can be reproduced through a sum of individual sine waves.

right on! thank you dude!

Bill's so right about boosting frequencies and bumping db on effects like crazy cause they literally birth results - they wouldn't be included in daws/tools for no reason its, cool to see someone actually demonstrating it.

38:19 Idea Jams The concept is to take the tools at your disposal, use them in ways they're not supposed to be used or just really creative ways, record the output and figure out how to contextualize it for music later.

some incredibly useful tips and tricks throughout this whole video. thanks for the upload.

Really love the concept he starts on with approaching sound design from effects as a starting point. Gets a little harder to pay attention once he starts on the knob tweaking but great stuff conceptually

Super interesting and inspiring! Became a Hardcore Abletoneer before I even finished this video.

Great stuff. .. Tear up the book and start again.

27:53 It seems like adding some clicking sound on top makes it all coherent, so that crazy note jumps in midi are any notes of a chord progression but just velocity information which by the way sounding very funky / progressive. 39:15 Serum FX has more than just one all pass filter. It has that ott compression too.Turning the compression ratio to max to use it as a limiter. Or you can turn the rate of a phaser to zero to use it kind of a single allpass filter. A phaser is anything else but just a regularly moving allpass filter.

I got a lot of inspiration right now. Thanks a lot for your great tips.

Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge

I've watched this video so many times

My Tuesday all of a sudden feels like a Saturday!

"Alright 20 minutes of idea-jams, 40 minutes of writing music, then I'm going to go eat some yogurt.." dude lol

Wow...seriously pro production!

This video is so insanely helpful, like holy crap thanks so much mr bill. Seriously, this video is so dense with useful info it makes my brain hurt. Time to go "idea jam" with all the new cool techniques I just learnt!

You are the most professional producer in the world.

This shit convinced me to give you money. Apophenia is killer too, been listening to it nonstop. Gonna try and catch you at Meow Wolf. Thanks for everything man.

i relate to your thinking so much.

I add ott to my soft sounds, really makes everything super emotional

Awesome vid, it's amazing how much of this translates over to logic. I appreciate some of the insight into using "idea jams" to grab snapshots of different sounds. The playhead trick is a huge reason I'm interested in ableton as logic can't do that. Have you ever looked into Bitwig?

hehhee, right now i'm appreciating all the little bitwig things that let me slide clips around from my audio noodles jams

🙏dude thank you for all that you do

Thank you Mr. Bill!

This is very precious

I don't know if youll see this but how do you feel about glitchmachines plug ins?

Insane and incredible

This is effing awesome 💖

58:25 In Ableton 10 you can alt-drag from the playhead in the clip window, and it won't shorten or lengthen in the arrangement. Saves some time not having to do the whole duplicate thing! I'm thoroughly enjoying your content though, awesome stuff

Wow, it's nice to feel like I'm doing things right for once. My most used synth is 3xOsc and this is why! Start with something minuscule and just pile on fx.

Avocato man is back at it again dropping knowledge.

I like this approach. It's so odd how he's advocating for printing your sounds as quickly as possible, but also playing for hours. So much better than ages spent tinkering.

Thank you

Idea jamming to this video as I’m watching it is a very relaxing evening experience

I'll be seeing you at Camp Bisco

thank you so much for the serum trick

love you bill

Does anybody know if there is a device like the external instrument that can send audio instead of midi? i wanna send audio to more then 2 tracks without having to dublicate it

Youre a fucking genius mate. Love your stuff

Hi Mr Bill I'm trying to find a video that I saw demonstrating how to play with tempo and construct a build up like Infected Mushrooms 'Bliss on Mushrooms'. If I remember correctly, it was possible to drastically manipulate the tempo of one track whilst keeping the global tempo stagnant. Can anyone point me in the right direction?? I've searched for hours now for this illusive video....

i love you thanks

54:15 WHAT!? I did not know that and I have been teaching and using Ableton for over 10 years.

You can also import all your sessions into the "Places" browser and open from there.

Anyone know what the Mr. Bill & Bandoum 03 track is, or if it's released? Around the 54min mark.

So so helpful, any ideas how you'd keep the idea jams in key or would that come later when incorporating it into the project/song?

@MrBillsTunes

Yeah, that always comes later. The main idea is just trying to come up with things that are sonically interesting. Justifying those sonically interesting things as music is a whole other challenge.

the tune at 55:00 is now the podcast intro

Dope!

At some point in this video he shows a super cool chord creation VST, does anyone know that time stamp or the name of the VST? I cant find it :(

Do you tend to just design most of your sounds in C so it is easy to transpose them to the correct key when needed? I noticed how quick you transposed that sample about 55 minutes in.

I studied at SAE too. One of my lecturers, he hated rules too taught us that you need to learn the rules so you know how to break them. without knowledge of your subject, ie. audio. your just throwing shit into shadows but if all you do is follow the 'rules' or do things the 'right way' your not really creating. Learn the rules so you know how to break them, I feel like Mr Bill is a perfect example of this.

Does anyone know what the song in the intro is called?

Not only really cool info shared but friggin hilarious tid bits lol, awesome stuff man! Thanks!
