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).

As an FL user this makes me appreciate Edison so much more. Love Ableton too (automatic routing and infinite mixer tracks? hell yeah!)

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.

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.

I usually just duplicate the track, remove what isn't necessary, and then Freeze and Flatten.

finally an easy way to grab artifacts that only take place after u hit stop holy shit

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.

Those free Melda effects are simply fire. Definitely gonna use this in making mudpies...maybe resample just starting and stopping ableton :) Thanks Bill!

the ability to record after the playhead has stopped is what sold this to me

Melda is so dope!! I had no idea this was in that d/l. There Ring mod is crazy sick also

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

Made me appreciate Bitwig's bounce features a whole lot more :)

Very cool, the bounce in place is one of the things I miss moving from Logic to Ableton. Gonna try this workflow now thanks :D

Love Perfect Circuit! Great tip on the recording, looks way less tedious than the "normal" method I've been using. Thx.

Love you Mr. Bill!! Much love from Chicago in the USA!

Dude, there were situations u couldn't record the tale properly when Ableton transport stopped, this even solved that issue too, genius

Very cool! I’ve had a lot of annoyances with resembling in Ableton, the fact that mrecorder can be key mapped is the best piece of this.

soooo... to finish the video I'm just gonna drop hot hot heat nonchalantly. Such fire. Thanks MrB.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Such a boss. Thanks for the tip!

Yoo. This is exactly what I was looking for!

Mr. Bill always bringing the killer tips

I haven't checked in in a long time, and your music has really improved. That sample is sick.

Just got ableton and was getting frustrated with the bouncing process. This is gonna make learning so much easier

Very helpful. Thank you.

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.

omg! you binded the record button to tilda! you are a genius!!!

thank you Mr. Bill, very cool.

I wonder if you can use wildcards in the naming scheme to have it grab the track name and shit...this is a great tool, Bill!

I love how Mr Bill skin colour matches perfectly the door; so glad he's a fellow vitamin D deficency

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.

Awesome tip !

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.

Good stuff man...thanks!

Nice one billdawgy 🤟

Nice alternative for the M4L BiP plugin.

Track sounds sick

Bitwig: select region, bounce in place. Under a second. What is Ableton doing? Surely they have the resources to implement this?

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 :-)

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.

Amazing !

Master at Work :) X

Holy crap this is amazing for sound design sessions where I just wanna record some sounds :D

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.

Hey, I really like your videos! Very good job. Can you tell me what model your headphones are? thanks Greetings from Bulgaria

thanks

Ooooh also couldn't vibe with BIP though I appreciate it. Keen to try this!

We miss you!

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.

There's a lot of cool plugins in that giant free Melda bundle

For single tracks, freezing & flattening also works surprisingly well! But I can see a few applications where this could be more useful

extremely useful - like you are

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!

Banging intro

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.

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.

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

I do the same trick with NI Guitar Rig. It has built in recorder

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. 😜

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 ?

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

Let’s go 🔥

Did you ever end up releasing this track? these sounds are mighty tasty

lovely

Hi, Would you disclose what computer setup your running, it's lighting fast.

unambiguously pressing like👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

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

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.

jesus that loop at the end though

Could I record a whole mix including send/returns with MRecorder?

Oh god all my money goes to perfect circuit.

🔥🔥🔥

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...

fire

This would be great for recording sounds out of fracture by glitchmachines

An Edison for Live? Awesooome!!

Bitwig is King at this.

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.

any ideas on what to do if your ableton browser does not refresh?

I also mapped ~ to show show/hide plugin, so I know that for sure it's recording

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.

I just want to say your song shepherding ut00b has pretty much changed the way I look at music in a good way lmao

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?

Nice

God bless Edison in FL :D

This track is a spanker ur working on!

Dope

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.

Maybe you should put a de-esser on your new mic set up????

Why not just freeze the track? Is there some drawback in doing thing this way? Thanks!

FL taking the lead 🔥🔥

I didn't realize you couldn't bounce in place in Live? I still haven't found a good reason to leave Logic yet... but i still want to learn Ableton 😂

is it alt - space at the position 4.32

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?

FL studio users: Hit Shift+E on a reverb send track and it'll record your wet sound when you hit play. And then just drag the sample back into the track. :)

FL Studios user are probably feeling superior for having Edson by default for this kind of "fast resample"

can you do that with edison too?
