Note: I didn't mention you can select the "Append number to the filename" option in MRecorder to avoid having to rename everytime, so be aware, that's an option (and will be even faster).
Hey man, i do stuff like this in FL all the time and its super easy, you dont need Mrecorder because you have Edison built into FL. I really wish someone like SeamlessR would sit down with you and show you how amazing FL studio is. Somewhere someone said you did a twitch stream where you used FL, and i cant find it anywhere!
Great tip. I've been using the Quick Recorder max device to do the exact same thing. Saved in default template and keymapped as well. Only have to set the file path once at the start of each project and then re are resampling the entire session. 👏 maxforlive.com/library/device/6163/quick-recorder
@@user-yo1cv2me5l FL is amazing, but it isn't without its workflow flaws. I still wish I was able to change the keyboard shortcuts without needing AutoHotKey. Been asking for that for years...
On a related note, you can record into the Ableton Looper device when the transport is stopped. I felt like Mr. Bill just a little when I figured that out. I used it to record the scrubbing back and forth in Melodyne.
I think I figured this out in my head after not really producing all year, I just pictured the record button in Looper and though maybe, just maybe... And it worked! By that time I already switched to Bitwig though so I just use Edison's vst but I want something simpler and native to bitwig for this purpose
Yeah I was thinking this method is pretty much what I already do in FL using edison. It is still too slow imo, I often avoid doing this and just try to quickly find a sample that gets me to a similar place. I don't want to F around in edison to get one specific thing.
Ableton really needs to implement a proper bounce in place. Something that's in non-realtime like Logic, Studio One, etc. Select a clip or part of a clip, use a key command and just bounce that portion to a new track. It's the most requested feature currently.
MRecorder has two other features that will make your sampling process even faster: 1. It will trim silence at the beginning and end of your sample, using the "trim threshold" setting in the post processing section.If you're working digitally, you can set the threshold to -199 dB by double-clicking it. All your recordings will now be perfectly trimmed. 2. There's a little "WAV" button with an arrow in the big bottom recording panel, where it shows the time and size of the file. Drag that button and drop it wherever you want, and it's just like dragging a file from the browser.
From someone who moved to bitwig I was actually hoping ableton adopted bounce in place. It’s a killer feature that streamlines resampling super efficiently
@@notificationsareblocked.yo53 any ideas how to make edison non-demo version on ableton? or to record? I can drag samples in and out of it, but not able to record
Those free Melda effects are simply fire. Definitely gonna use this in making mudpies...maybe resample just starting and stopping ableton :) Thanks Bill!
Maybe a little file/folder tip, if you hold shift and right click on a file or folder you can select "copy as path" very handy as you don't have to go up and click in the explore path to see first the path and than select to copy. You have to look 3/4 down in the right click menu to find it.
Freeze is still very effective method to do bounce in place with dragging highlighted freezed stuff into a new track. The only disadvantage if the freezed track is a way too long, entire track would be freezed and that can steal a bit of time. But hey you don't even need a browser or any additional setup to do that.
Another disadvantage is that you still have the issue of the reverb tail colliding with the next sample, so you'll have to go through and mute stuff and unmute it afterwards again, and if the you're using a plugin on the track that is something thicc like a Kontakt patch, the unfreeze might take a while.
FL users automatically can do this with Edison, it even auto-detects when you hit play/audio starts and will remove the silence at the beginning of the recording.
@@fjkldhakljf everything's free if you know the way, also you cant get it anymore as image line have dropped support for vst versions of their synths and effects
Wait when did image line drop vet support? I use Edison in Ableton coz I missed it when switching from FL and I only bought it near the end of last year.
I always have an edison on the "current channel" .. so that I can just record everthing I want on the fly from the channel I have highlighted... and then just drag and drop it out of edison where ever I want it
Excellent! It's perfect for us Windows users as we aren't able to drag samples from our project into wavetable editors (like Serum or Vital) as Ableton is currently using them. The Mrecorder will eliminate that problem as it creates a completely new file you can drag into the wavetable editor.
I do this in bitwig, with edison, and in my case the record button is controlled by an envelope macro so that it starts and stops recording on it's own, you just load the rack and press play and drag your reverse verb onto a new track
Lmao i literally just commented the same thing i do it in bitwig with edison. Bitwigs bounce is another great way of doing it if you dont plan on saving it in a folder
@@notificationsareblocked.yo53 oh but you can do that easily! Just start dragging from that drag out button in edison, and a file of the selection will be created in C:\Program Files\Image Line\Edison\Project Data you can symlink this folder to a more accessible location and voilà (any audio you start dragging from edison is created there as a file instantly)
Thanks for the tip! You can also freeze the track and drag the region you want to a new audio track which flattens it without flattening the source track.
I know an even faster method, but it's not free. You can use a recorder by Image Line, called Edison. There is a vst version of it. You can set it up to automatically start recording on play, reducing filesize compared to toggling it with a hotkey. But you'd still have to arm it. The best part is that it has the option to drag and drop the recorded sample directly into your daw. In that case it will save the audio file in Edisons installation path with automated cryptic filenames. You can also save the file manually, which will result in almost the same workflow you currently have. It's an editor, so you could make last second adjustments to the file with fades etc.
edison does it WAY better, you can get it if you buy the image line vst bundle. edison is beyond all other audio recorders, it does so much and really revolutionizes the way you resample.
MRecorder is good if it's the only option but Edison is way better and lets you do so much more editing before saving and you can even drag from Edison itself directly into a sampler. I use it as a VST inside of Bitwig. The only place you can find it now is off kvr and you need to be on Windows.
Any reason you don’t freeze and then alt/option drag into a new audio channel? Freeze is effectively a bounce in place no? Much easier than recording after enabling resampling like your original method.
A few reasons. 1. It's slower on bigger sessions (which I mostly deal with) 2. You can't render artifacts that way 3. You can't name your sound-design that way, they just get named something like "Freeze 10978460.wav" which is annoying if you're trying to find something later
You changed my life , good sire. Thank you ☺️. It will solve a lot of my problems !!!!! Including resampling across a bunch of VSTs that often require only .wav files and what not.
Recording independent of transport controls sounds fun. in loads of my tunes stopping transport randomly leaves really cool send fx tails which vary depending on where you stop. Never been sure how to best capture it, this looks like the solution :-)
Thank you for this. It's one of the main reasons why I miss using Logic honestly, all you had to do was select a number of regions in the arrangement-window (could be both midi and audio) and just press ctrl + B and you're done. A new track with the bounced audio is created. Wish Ableton had that feature.
if u right click on a track and hit freeze then after it loads u right click again and hit flatten it does the trick and quite efficiently idk why not many ppl are talking abt this or if im missing something.
@@vain.a Like Mr Bill said in comment below, it's a pain if you're working on bigger projects and have to freeze a whole track. That could take a long time to render. And you can only freeze and flatten one track a time I think? So you can't bounce multiple tracks to one audio file. I guess you could just use the "resampling"-mode to record the output of several tracks ... but then you also have to solo the specific tracks you want to record and also bypass all the plugins on the master (since "resampling" just records the output of the master channel). In Logic you only have to select the the regions you want to bounce and press ctrl + B and all the work is done for you. And only takes like 1 second. Which is quite handy if resampling is a big part of your workflow.
You can simply create a new track and change the routing to resampling and then record the signal coming from the master buss. You don't need to flatten anything or do fansy stuff. 2 clicks and it's done....
I always send everything to a separate track called "premaster" - and that track is sending to the Master bus. For resampling purposes I just solo the track in question, record-enable that premaster track (Audio From: "No Input", Monitor: "In") and hit record. It won´t be faster than that.
master channel strg+A ->strg+g -> press 0. record it. go master channel press zero again (if you want to go back to production mode ). if i do this mutliple times i just put it on a key command, so you don't even have to go back to the master channel. thats way faster imho.
It's not in time though, you need it to line up perfectly if you're bouncing a whole group. New audio track and set input to resample does the job for me.
Wow in cubase they made it super easy. Render in place select option insert in project...viola... im now learning ableton too and that part is really annoying.
is it possible to highlight 4beat loop inside simpler, and drag and drop that loop to a clip or to a linear track? basically a super fast way to grab chunks of audio ?
Technically though, bounce in place should be happening faster than realtime audio playback. So in this case, you are still waiting for the audio to record in its entirety. But I do appreciate how it solves the reverb tail issue..
@@sanjacobs6261 From a historical standpoint, yes. But those terms have become quite interchangeable in modern DAWs e.g. bounce in place is literally “rendering” in Logic Pro X. Anyway i should mention that what i meant was basically an offline bounce vs a real-time one.
@@deepzenpills8571 Sadly, that's true. They've gotten all mixed up. A good few DAWs like Reaper do differentiate between bouncing and rendering, luckily, because the difference between the terms is actually useful :)
There is a free max4live device called Quix Audio Recorder that does the same thing but a lot more visually and has some editing capabilities like Edison. Wanted to help out and let y'all know just google Quix Audio Recorder max4live it isn't glitchy at all it works great
My Method - 100% WET FX you want on X Return. For longer stuff Send what u want to X return. Ctrl/Cmd-Shift-R and select the return as the render track. Name it what u know it will be like "rev guitar". Save to project root. Organized. Fast. Drag in rendered sample from "Current Project" on left. No need for extra folder. If it's a short sample, send to x return (you can map this too for quick on off), solo that return, and use your resampling track to capture. You can avoid getting things further down the track into the delay network by just sending what u want at that moment to the FX. Mapped buttons work fine for this if you need it to be super accurate and fast but usually really just the mouse is good enough. Other methods I used to use - If it's audio duplicate clip and open in external editor (adobe audition pre ver 2 or cool edit pro open in less than a second). Perform all destructive editing there with saved shortcuts. So you can have a saved reverb shortcut and then reverse with shortcut and alt tab back to DAW. That whole process takes about 4 seconds as its all offline but it has to originate from an audio clip and you don't get vsts in cool edit. Use Later Adobe audition for vst support but longer load times. I am fine with Audition 1.5 reverb for reverse reverbs its not going to sound "real" anyway. Another audio only method is have tracks with fx you want and drag the clip to that track then render with that track soloed. Drag in from side as described above. It's only for audio but more explicit than the sends. After 20 years of doing this shit that first method is all I use now though as its universal / works with MIDI tracks and it requires no extra setup as I have all the FX I want on returns anyway. If you want hyper optimized speed and its audio use the 3rd method with external editor.
I kinda wish MRecorder would have the option to stall. Perfect example is in Audacity, when you hit the red button, it will wait until it hears sound to record instantly. That way you have perfectly timed recording instead of having silence at the beginning.
It has a similar feature - trim threshold, in the post-processing. You set a threshold, and Recorder will trim anything at the beginning and end of the file that falls below that threshold. If you're working digitally, you can set the threshold to -199 dB by double-clicking it. All your recordings will now be perfectly trimmed.
Bitwig has bounce in place and bounce. Both pre and post effects. Not only that but you can pick which plugins in the chain get included in the bounce and which don't. Just saying....
I have to say, this method looks like way more effort than typical Ableton methods. Creating a folder, making a file name, point to folder. Interesting. 😜
I have an issue with this wherein when previewing the newly created file in Ableton's browser, it plays back 6db quieter (so you have to turn the preview volume up 6 db to match what you created). If you drag it into the project however, the volume is the same. Odd
For everyone who thinks Freezing and flattening is better. Imagine being 3 minutes into a song, and it takes +30 seconds for the entire track to freeze, this becomes a much better alternative.
One isn’t better than the other, it’s purely preference. I don’t think waiting +30 seconds is a problem. I regularly wait +10 minutes for entire mixes to render. If you don’t have much time, this method seems cool, but the convenience of Freeze and Flatten is that the sample renders in place, which I prefer.
You could set it up in your master channel by default, and with a key map you almost don't need to do a single thing other than map the file destination. If you have a certain effect you do this with all the time (like a reverb) you could keymap that as well and have both the reverb and the recorder turn on when you press the hotkey, then off at the same time when you're done recording. 10 seconds to set up to not have to do it again while you work on the project saves loads of time than setting up a resampling track everytime.
What about enabling reverb,, disabling the other parts for a long reverb tail, freezing and then copy part of a freezed track that has the reverb to a new track, then unfreeze? Makes you loose nothing and would result in a audio track, and no extra plug-ins?
@@MrBillsTunes no I haven't had the pleasure, but one would think it didn't take that long, because it would only affect one track. You learn something new every day :)
Does anyone have an idea of what the work around would be so my newly recorded sample does not include the time it takes me to hit "tilda" to then control + space bar? Sometimes sounds have slow attack therefore there's no initial warp maker for transient so i have to go into the new sample and line it up where its right and that takes too much time...if somehow I could have the KeyNote for m recorder "record" also be cntrl + space so when when i begin playback it records then..but it wont let me key map a combo. Or is there a way to reset the keycommand for ableton's control space fucntion to another key command?
MRecorder can trim silence at the beginning and end of your sample, using the "trim threshold" setting in the post processing section.If you're working digitally, you can set the threshold to -199 dB by double-clicking it. All your recordings will now be perfectly trimmed.

Name it what u know it will be like "rev guitar". Save to project root. Organized. Fast. Drag in rendered sample from "Current Project" on left. No need for extra folder.
If it's a short sample, send to x return (you can map this too for quick on off), solo that return, and use your resampling track to capture. You can avoid getting things further down the track into the delay network by just sending what u want at that moment to the FX. Mapped buttons work fine for this if you need it to be super accurate and fast but usually really just the mouse is good enough.
Other methods I used to use - If it's audio duplicate clip and open in external editor (adobe audition pre ver 2 or cool edit pro open in less than a second). Perform all destructive editing there with saved shortcuts. So you can have a saved reverb shortcut and then reverse with shortcut and alt tab back to DAW. That whole process takes about 4 seconds as its all offline but it has to originate from an audio clip and you don't get vsts in cool edit. Use Later Adobe audition for vst support but longer load times. I am fine with Audition 1.5 reverb for reverse reverbs its not going to sound "real" anyway.
Another audio only method is have tracks with fx you want and drag the clip to that track then render with that track soloed. Drag in from side as described above. It's only for audio but more explicit than the sends. After 20 years of doing this shit that first method is all I use now though as its universal / works with MIDI tracks and it requires no extra setup as I have all the FX I want on returns anyway. If you want hyper optimized speed and its audio use the 3rd method with external editor.
I kinda wish MRecorder would have the option to stall. Perfect example is in Audacity, when you hit the red button, it will wait until it hears sound to record instantly. That way you have perfectly timed recording instead of having silence at the beginning.
It has a similar feature - trim threshold, in the post-processing. You set a threshold, and Recorder will trim anything at the beginning and end of the file that falls below that threshold. If you're working digitally, you can set the threshold to -199 dB by double-clicking it. All your recordings will now be perfectly trimmed.
@@PatMaddox amazing! Thank you!
Bitwig has bounce in place and bounce. Both pre and post effects. Not only that but you can pick which plugins in the chain get included in the bounce and which don't. Just saying....
For single tracks, freezing & flattening also works surprisingly well! But I can see a few applications where this could be more useful
Hey, I really like your videos! Very good job. Can you tell me what model your headphones are? thanks
Greetings from Bulgaria
I have to say, this method looks like way more effort than typical Ableton methods. Creating a folder, making a file name, point to folder. Interesting. 😜
I have an issue with this wherein when previewing the newly created file in Ableton's browser, it plays back 6db quieter (so you have to turn the preview volume up 6 db to match what you created). If you drag it into the project however, the volume is the same. Odd
Amazing !
jesus that loop at the end though
can you do that with edison too?
did this song ever get released?
On the Mac you use Audio HiJack Pro, I use this tools since years, it records everything from a app or simply the system audio...
any ideas on what to do if your ableton browser does not refresh?
Did this track ever release?
Could I record a whole mix including send/returns with MRecorder?
Good stuff man...thanks!
For everyone who thinks Freezing and flattening is better. Imagine being 3 minutes into a song, and it takes +30 seconds for the entire track to freeze, this becomes a much better alternative.
One isn’t better than the other, it’s purely preference. I don’t think waiting +30 seconds is a problem. I regularly wait +10 minutes for entire mixes to render. If you don’t have much time, this method seems cool, but the convenience of Freeze and Flatten is that the sample renders in place, which I prefer.
What about the quality of the recording tho? Does it just use the DAW's bounce settings or does it have its own setting for quality?
You set it in MRecorder
I just want to say your song shepherding ut00b has pretty much changed the way I look at music in a good way lmao
Bitwig is King at this.
very nice....why not keep the thing recording all the time ...
Why not just freeze the track? Is there some drawback in doing thing this way? Thanks!
Why not freeze track , create new track and ctrl+drag?
unambiguously pressing like👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
An Edison for Live? Awesooome!!
I just use Edison as a 3rd party vst
Doesn’t seem like less work but probably if you do a lot of this within one project, it can save you a lot of time. Cheers!
You could set it up in your master channel by default, and with a key map you almost don't need to do a single thing other than map the file destination. If you have a certain effect you do this with all the time (like a reverb) you could keymap that as well and have both the reverb and the recorder turn on when you press the hotkey, then off at the same time when you're done recording. 10 seconds to set up to not have to do it again while you work on the project saves loads of time than setting up a resampling track everytime.
Banging intro
What about enabling reverb,, disabling the other parts for a long reverb tail, freezing and then copy part of a freezed track that has the reverb to a new track, then unfreeze? Makes you loose nothing and would result in a audio track, and no extra plug-ins?
Ever tried freezing a track in a 150 channel session? Takes like 45 seconds minimum xD
@@MrBillsTunes no I haven't had the pleasure, but one would think it didn't take that long, because it would only affect one track. You learn something new every day :)
Great tutorial, Wtf is tilda though 😂
I know! What the fuck? I've been scanning through all the fucking replies trying to figure out what tilda was
is it alt - space at the position 4.32
Hi, Would you disclose what computer setup your running, it's lighting fast.
Yeah or Ableton could just add bip... I mean how long will it take, it doesn't seem like a difficult feature to build.
Well jesus! How long did it take them to do comping!?
This track is a spanker ur working on!
We miss you!
Coming from studio one
This is a Band-Aid
They need to implement BIP…
lovely
Does anyone have an idea of what the work around would be so my newly recorded sample does not include the time it takes me to hit "tilda" to then control + space bar? Sometimes sounds have slow attack therefore there's no initial warp maker for transient so i have to go into the new sample and line it up where its right and that takes too much time...if somehow I could have the KeyNote for m recorder "record" also be cntrl + space so when when i begin playback it records then..but it wont let me key map a combo. Or is there a way to reset the keycommand for ableton's control space fucntion to another key command?
MRecorder can trim silence at the beginning and end of your sample, using the "trim threshold" setting in the post processing section.If you're working digitally, you can set the threshold to -199 dB by double-clicking it. All your recordings will now be perfectly trimmed.
@@PatMaddox BY THE BEARD OF ZUES, you've done it
Still too many steps for me, I always just duplicated the track I wanted to resample, add the effects Im thinking of, freeze the resample track then flatten.
Why not just freeze?
extremely useful - like you are
