Mr Bill: How To Slice, Beat Mash, and Scratch in Ableton Live 

This guy is lvl 99 Ableton.

the fact he knows his equipment so well to make his physical workspace look so minimal is remarkable and should be something to emulate. Im jealous.

Bill is hands-down one of the coolest and most caring producers out there.

I'm a simple man. I see Mr. Bill, I hit the like button.

Thats some seriously clever shit. Love how max opens it up to make it easy for people to invent the ways they want to make music.

This is brilliant! The best Mr. Bill tutorial I've seen.

wow. mr bill always on some new technique

Dude...nice! So helpful to see this setup and what's possible with the Twister and Ableton. Thanks Mr Bill!

MINDBLOWING, this is absolutely brilliant, DEFINITELY applying this in my live sets FOR. SURE!

This is amazing, thank you for walking through this!

Thanks for sharing with us really nice and useable stuff

Ok I need to sit down with you and talk about the first 3 minutes of the video for 8 hours and then we can move on. Outstanding Mr Bill!!!!

This is so, so, SOOOOO excellent! One of these days, I’m going to do it with my live looping. I’ll have to watch this about 20 times until I get it.

Mr Bill + DJ TechTools. Sounds like a win to me

good work king, love you

The crossfade king. Sweet techniques!

THAT WAS SO COOL. YOUR MUSIC IS AWESOME

This was so helpful!! Thank you

My god... What a virtuoso... Not my style at all, but the way he performs, i respect that and would love to have his skills, his smoothness. Overall interesting guy...

Thanks for the info Mr Bill/Techtools

That's a really nice setup.

Great work!

Damn this the type of workflow i neeeed

crazy stuff. Like it!

thanks a lot!!! so nice reverb

Ableton is cool allowing people lots of creative flexibility 💪🏼

Respect, Mr Bill

That looks like a lot of fun

Mr. Bill Dope AF!

thanks Mr. Bill!

Amazing!

Good stuff man! ~

Thanks so much

Works well!! DANKEEE

Awesome!

not my kinda style but the fact he was ripping of his crossfader cap at around 13:20 and still beeing able to do his thing witout the listener noticing had me.

thank you so much dude you're a god

I need to train with this guy!!

Hello Bill thanks for this vidéo ! I have buy this fantastic template but just I have a question … to use correctly with the midi fighter twister what should I do to the mapping with this template ! Normally do it work automatically ? Thanks for your answer

I really like that music he was doing

This is all sorts of slick. Nice work!

Damn, you broke the cross fader half way through. Good thing there was a back up haha

ok mr bill im sold

13:23 that fader never stood a chance. RIP

brilliant, man! Where can we download this?? :)

my head hurtz!! good vid tho fam! looooveee

Would you recommend a few videos on working more in depth with Simpler? Im glad that I found your channel. ::subscribed::

Mad Zach was scratching a on a noise_filter, you can do this aswel in simpler/sampler with transpose.

Sick!

So any updates to these mappings? Your buddy still working on them any links for download of any midi fighter 3d mappings for Ableton, thanks. Enjoyed the video you're doing things differently I like that.

This is so cool and so over my head, but nice

Big monster! wow!

Dig that tippery idea✌🏼

Well, what Mad Zack showed in that video wasn't exactly muting/unmuting the clips while playing with play position, what he was actually doing was more simple: he played clips with the pads like you normally do in a drumrack, and playing with pitch and filter in the encoder to recreate the effect. What you are doing is better in my opinion, more like actual scratching, just what I was looking for. You are a genius.

I have no idea what he is talking about and I wish I did

So cool :)

good intel mate

Are there any updates for his slice mode technique in Ableton 11? Thinking about picking up a midi fighter for this but was wondering if there’s an updated workflow and setup since things have changed in ableton since then.

so cool! and so gratuitous!

Mr. Bill is God

13.23 ~ The Cross Fader decides to dump all the available jet fuel and whiz off into outer-space (Probably under the table). Meanwhile Mr Bill continues to Slice, Beat Mash and Scratch. Love this video!

Is it possible to do this with Push 2 and a Midi Fighter?

how do you get to this level??

you can make a crossfader with chains and Audio From + monitoring a compressor

Damn, finally found video I need to watch 5 times to understand

Genius

Champion

I watch this once every year

nice construction

Cool 😮

Monster!!!!!!!!!

Sweet! Are those compatible with the new Mac M1s?

I been wanting to do this for a while, but instead of using global crossfade and manual slicing, using live audio pulled into chains via monitoring Audio From in compressors

goin hard @13:21 w that chroma cap smashing 👌🏼

How about a follow up with a focus on the hardware? Would be nice to see the hardware rack itself and the wiring.

dude your setup & how much you got out of it is really dope - thx for shari with us :)

Our favorite nerd

whats the rapper rapping over the top of the beat? i know the beat is morko by mr bill

First standing ovation I gave a youtube video.

hi. what the name of small color controller? thank you

Did you ever live in Shrewsbury?

The Woulg Scratchy Max For Live device is available at the link below on Bandcamp: woulg-related.bandcamp.com/album/scratchy-and-chain-selecta

bro thats fucking sick! brilliant

what is the name of the song that starts at 0:20 really cool tech I always like "electronic artists" performing on stage rather than just pressing play

This is inspiring

i dont really understand how he makes the 16 midi clips taht he controls as a sequencer control "any" track that's playing? how is he routing all of those tracks to be controlled by that 1 midi channel?

anyone know how to get a pc case like that???

Does anyone charge to help midi map a set? Id love some help!

By the way this can be achieved using python for ableton (without m4l), which I guess is more reliable. Even splitting the track into several clips will not be necessary

I just realized Im too stoned to comprehend this next level shit. My brain is boiling, will come back later for sure.

oh it looks good but can you autreche with it? not in this video

"i suppose..." .. gotta be the name of Mr Bills biography ..

13:20 quality fader caps lol mine always get launched in to oblivion too

this is voodoo shit. love it

Why is that MF3D mapped upside down? And most importantly... how can I do that to mine? 🤔

Anyone have a link for the Woulg devices?

thanks bill boy your the shit

Where can we get that WR-Scratchy device? Sooooo cool!!!!! WANT! Can donate beer money.

I wonder how sweaty Mr. Bill got when he made 10.8 with deadmau5

God why did I have to watch this. I’m going to have to make one now. :(
