Not to be "that guy" but why in the world is the ableton session minimized in the corner during a masterclass? Wouldn't it make more sense to have Bill's face in the corner with the project full screen? I'm sure it's not Bill's fault but it's a bit annoying
@@lilspellbook8066 If you watch the video, you'd realize you don't really need to see the screen much. There's nothing to directly copy, it's mostly useful concepts
omg, these kinds of masterclasses are really rare on youtube. Others either not teaching much or you have to pay for them. Thank you, Mr. Bill for fun delivery of precious knowledge!
does he focus more on maximizing the technology/engineering or improving arrangements? I'm at the phase where i need help bringing simple ideas to life
@@Kevinschart easy thing to do for track progression is double up & switch the sounds. duplicate your keys or whatever & switch to a pad...or whatever. next couple bars, take shit away & then build up before coming back to your initial idea. don't overthink your "simple" ideas!!!!!
Absolutley amazing. Im super new to digital audio and ever since i was like 10 i loved dubstep and all sorts of edm. im 18 now, and ive always wanted to make my own but only like a year ago i found out what a daw is and ive been having so much trouble being creative and learning how to "properly" sound design and trying to make sick wub wubs and awesome synth leads and stuff. This video in some cases confused me but i know alot of basic stuff like lfos, transients, and more simple terms that beginners would know. This helped me understand that there really is no right way to do it unless your like space laces and have your own sound or like excision who has amazing song writing skills. Still learning though and this really inspired and helped me alot thank you for sharing your knowledge with us, its very very nice to share your knowledge since its music and most musicians want to keep their ways secret and i also thank other youtubers who put their techniques out there to help us bless you and them :)
It’s not easy, you can watch all the videos you want but when the video stop and you’re sitting there just trying to decide if your kick drum is good or not and the rest of your drum sounds as well. , that enough right there is super frustrating it’s all in the way you hear it just training your ears once you get your ears trained that’s half of it right there but it’s difficult it’s very hard so just got to keep practicing
Layer layer layer. Layer drums. Layer your bass. Honestly that would be one tip I would give to people just starting out I missed it take me years to realize that every sound you hear is literally a layer of multiple sounds
MrBill.. thx for this masterclass, the last sound design tip using just an audiofile and chop it up was brilliant. I have just upgraded from MPC live to ableton live suite and have so much inspiration...its AWESOME!!!
26:22 Does that explain why square waves sound SO loud compared to sines even when they hit the same volume? Because it's as loud over the entire waveform? super neat stuff
Amazing content, really entertaining! I often trap my own production through all the theory and mixing rules I have learnt. I Love the way you throw that all out the window.
1. This is typically informative and inspirational, the man is a wizard 2. The sub bass part was great, does anyone have any tips on keeping a sub bass line at a constant perceived volume? The lower the note, the quieter it sounds? 3. It would've been nicer if the main screen was the DAW with Bill as the inset. We already know how beautiful Bill is, but it's really hard to see what he's actually doing, especially on a phone screen :( and if you haven't already, listen to his podcast - not a lot of sound design/techniques etc, but interesting as hell - cheers Bill :)
@@BasicFTB Thanks, I was just about to research that when I remembered i've just signed up for his courses yesterday so hopefully there will be something about it in there - there are tons of them! He has a very good way of explaining stuff so it actually sticks in my head.
@@Adoblem that's why I said 'perceived' volume, what you actually hear. Maybe adding some harmonics gets around the issue, but that doesn't explain how classic d&b has subs all over the place with no perceptible change in volume. It's probably to do with compression, which I have trouble understanding!
@@mr_smellnice5724 Then it probably is harmonics seeing as they can add a "fake" feeling of a sub (the fundamental isn't actually there, mr bill talks about that in the video), especially if they're Reese basses because they are made from saw waves which have hella harmonics, Im pretty sure compressing a pure sine will accomplish just additional harmonics because the hard clip (if there is one) acts kinda like a square wave. Sorry if im not clear about this but tldr getting a good sub on systems that can't play it is all about harmonics
Thanks Mr. Bill for all the info you put out into this master course and in your website. I was subscribed to your website as well, went broke and subscribing again on pay day lol Keep up the stuffs! Also your music fucking rocks
Amazing as always, Mr. Bill.... KMGLife, thanks, but please, for the next one, do no place mr bill's computer screen as less than 1/4 of the video size... man....
Interesting contrast to the the KSHMR masterclass I just tried to watch. Lecture 100% on marketing and image, zero info on actually making music. This dude is a fucking genius and gives it all away.
As always a great class Sir !! really appreciate the work you do also real glad you mentioned a little something about Au5 which together yall literally fry up the sonic universe ∆_∆
thx mr. bill, really learned alot! question: how comes you don't have to concern about KEY? how comes everything you do fits the sub? is it because its not notes but noise? and do you really render all your songs in 32bit?
Wow okay, THAT is the best, Informative Master Class I have ever seen in my Life. And I love your Sense of Humor. You are a true Sensei. But one Question, why exactly u using the Xfer OTT and not the Ableton OTT?
Idk why people don't ask more open questions... like, if I had the mic I'd wanna ask what plugins he's on, where he thinks music is going, what songs are inspiring him, ya know? It'd be cool to hear him get genuinely stoked about something
Hey Mr. Bill these are great videos that really help motivate me when I feel like I’ve used up all my ideas. I have a question. With all the different pitches and notes these “mud-pie” sessions create how do you go about arranging the song melody wise? Do you focus on fine tuning after sound designing and following any specific scales?
Heya, thats a great question. Not Bill but I'll share my begginer intuition with the question :D I'd use those blips and stuff as non melodic elements, so you can kinda play any melody over it since it'll be used more as a percussion. Or you could play chords you want and then detune the "cut out clips" to suit the melody. Thats my 2c , hope bill answers the question tho :D
realistic use would be tuning them to the key as needed to the specific song your using them in if the initial note being a C3 for example. using it as is, u can throw it into a sampler later and play it however u like naturally. or if its G or F scale, youd tage it in the filename, and then know that its rooted in that note and transpose accordingly in the song u bring it into later
Hey mate, thanks for sharing this. Definitely learned a lot. Following up on the mastering bit where you said you do your own masters - I would love to try mastering a track of yours, would you be willing to send me something? Thanks and keep it up!
I do not speak English, I love your music especially the hybrid mix that you do type IDM, I have tried to make a kind of relaxing IDM and I have been following you for a long time but I did not comment on why I do not know English and I use FL studio, just and I understand you haha , I just wanted to tell you that you have inspired me a lot and I am very happy that you share your knowledge, I think it makes you grow as a person developing new future talents in music and production, thanks for all the songs that have a meaning for me and that I put day a day especially when waking up. ;) PS: What should I study to be like you (English to start with) xd (I'm using translator: y) PD2: Do more IDM or something glitch type: Nut bleending Dinamycs, Ladder Anxiety or Swish, or better yet, do what you want, I think that has taken you to where you are, finally love your work sorry for telling you my life and relax with my music haha thanks for everything; ”) 🖤
Hey! Question regarding the 808 you're making with operator, would you adjust the amplitude envelope so that you have a little more attack up front, then cool down the sustain? When I do that, the volume drops again (the waves on the osciliscope dip now, instead of really pushing up & down) which makes sense. But wondering if there's a way to maintain this fatter sound (besides just turning up the volume) so that the oscilloscope keeps the waves pushing the limits. Hope this makes sense, if anyone has tips I'm all ears!
this is a really great class, but the video overlay should have been the other way aroud, its hard to tell whats going on on the small screen. Still a dope video
He answers that question at around 51:00, I kind of wonder if maybe you'd have more control with the saturator soft clip because you can control how it clips the wave in terms of soft, hard, sinusoidal, etc.
@@joshskarzenski731 yeah haha, posted my comment before getting to the Q&A portion! Saturator does give you other ways of flattening out the signal, yeah.

the sub gets quieter because your speaker system can't produce notes that low so there's a volume drop-off and has nothing to do with the actual sub

Maybe adding some harmonics gets around the issue, but that doesn't explain how classic d&b has subs all over the place with no perceptible change in volume.
