Baths How-to on BETA TV

[rolosum5]

i gotta get albton now ^_^

[TBoutwood]

shit i want that template sooo bad

[bluenotecat]

Great stuff man. I was really hooked by those beats and your voice. Great job. I am going to start listening to more of your music. Thanks for the inspiration!

[Thekidwiththestuff]

I can't fathom being able to do this, but Baths is the reason I am going to try my hardest to do it.

[seocom]

Very talented guy

[mynmyself]

id love all this mpd players switched to mpc... just an small graphical difference... but the workflow is neater in my opinion...

[ProjectEndgame]

"and the higher the this up" That makes perfect sense.

[jindagreatlee]

Beta Records better change their logo because it looks very similar to Beats by dre logo. They might get sued.

I honestly thought this was a beats by dre channel of some sort.

[TheSchimmi]

This pretty much sold me on the MPD32. I fucking love baths.

[devotchka158697]

Does anybody knows what the repetitive beat effect he uses?

[RaygunShaun]

@devotchka158697 Ableton Live's Beat Repeat.

[drkmttrbeats]

4 stems, few beat repeats and delays .. and surprisingly thats a whole lot more than most people are doing on stage.

[citizenedwin]

This is satire, right?

[jmb102093]

a little too indie kid for my taste but he really knows his instrument thats for sure

[MrAbkio]

ur awesome

[sheatheman]

good on baths for not being a secretive dick.

[BrendillHardy]

Baths sounds like Shaytards

[tevinbeatty]

i just wanna know if i could do this with the akai mpd24 or the akai apc40.

someone please help me out

[RefractionStudios]

@tevinbeatty You can really do it with any midi controller surface. I use the M-audio trigger finger, it's an inexpensive alternative to Akai MPD

[RefractionStudios]

@tevinbeatty It's mostly in the software, he uses Ableton Live

[vjdjwaffelz]

@tevinbeatty pretty sure he's using one of those models of midi controller. the apc 40 has alot more functionality u can utilize but it's all in user set up and capability. ;)

[vjdjwaffelz]

@tevinbeatty and like refraction studios said. it's the program not the controler but is the person controlling the controller more so....

[Dunsgroveau]

@tevinbeatty the mpd24 is pretty damn similar to the 32 with only a few feature differences, you could do it quite easily.

[DJPabloco]

i like his sideburns :P

[NinjaAssasin12]

What's the second song he was playing?

[SidneyTurnerMedia]

I heard this song on a youtube vid and really liked it. I then searched for it and downloaded it for free (illegally) I then saw this and purchased the song right away. Awesome guy. Support him and buy his music.

[amozoness6]

genius genius genius genius genius genius genius

[supersonice4]

I love this SOOOOONG "Halls", it touches me...especially this artist, MY GOD, he's my favorite artiste, and u better not stop for another 10 years!!!!

[100JamesX]

Im feeling inspired watching this

[1stBONER]

could i get the button layout or w/e for this?

[integillent]

@1stBONER you have to make setups like these yourself actually. its all manual midi mappings. in order to have this work automatically without setup you would need baths .als file which i doubt he is going to give you. not to mention, if he did it would all be setup with the tracks in his song, not yours.

[1stBONER]

@integillent ha well thnx for the reply (: now i sha'll Le google/jerbturb how to map my mpd24 in ableton.

[bigdummy603]

Kodama sticker <3

[McWort]

what is the effect @ 3:31?

[integillent]

@McWort its a beat repeat with a pitch decay. the drums are repeated and then being pitched down temporarily until he turns the pitch decay back to 0%

[RocOutWithYoCaulkOut]

that is so cool

[alexjnewbury]

@Lukefolger325 in all fairness, I'm positive Will would be able to reproduce each of those loops/samples live with real instruments and then route them one by one into a daw and THEN start singing. but if he did that, he would be lambasted for "getting too repetitive" or "taking too long to get each track going." as an electronic musician, i'll always defend these performances as live sets, rather than DJ sets. the effects should be considered instrumentation just as much as the samples.

[Lukefolger325]

That's a good point @slowpoke . Let me be more specific since I have no intention of hating. With electronic DAWs, I'm seeking a deliberate INSTUMENTAL-izing of the controller. The drum beat is playing or the melodic loop is playing, but the buttons he pushes are not so much like a key strike or string pluck - the button pushing changes the parameters of an effect or adds/subtracts. I'm just excited to see people take this idea further, of bringing poetry to playing, beyond just controlling. :)

[bleedingums13]

FUCK! 21? I feel like a fucking chud and a half.

[jpprog]

Dude's a-tha BOMB! ferkin great!

[Lukefolger325]

gorgeous music. So beautiful to hear. However, none of the instrumentation happens in the moment, (minus bends, tweaks, and layer mixing). He only sings live over other thick layers of his own voice, pre recorded, as opposed to singing into a sweet, integrated reverb or something. This is some of the most tasteful, rich electronic music out there, but I will only be truly impressed in terms of PERFORMANCE when someone comes along who collages this stuff in the moment. This is just DJ-ing.

[slowpokecity]

@Lukefolger325 this is not DJing. its nothing like DJing. to perform his songs would be impossible, this is the only way he can do it, hes controlling it to the maximum extent he can. he presses a button and a sound plays, just like on a piano. its just his instrument, please don't be so narrow minded and ignorant.

[Frinkets]

My number one source of inspiration right now.

[Kazuya240]

**He perform yesterday at the Hi tone in Memphis, i was there BABY**

[Hangshai]

My man-love for this guy knows no bounds. He is truly a great artist.

[LightWillIgniteUsAll]

I love this guy, man. Such an inspiration.

[HouseFantastic]

b-a-t-h-s

[Claan22]

The way he uses the MPD is really amazing. Makes me want to grab one.

[wilcop]

princess mononoke sticker

[theskinnyailurophile]

@wilcop gotta love the Kodama :D i want to keep one

[kazunanakama]

@wilcop Yeah that's like the first thing I spotted and I was like HELL YEAH!

[Svabidab]

@wilcop Hey, I was gonna write that. Now I did.

[NiteOwlsReturn]

Very comprehensive instructions about the MPD. Made more sense then when explained to me before by someone else....very talented guy.

[DemascoNY]

Wow, his experience with music (starting on classical piano, hating it, then coming back and experimenting) is almost exactly how I got into electronic music + production too. He's incredibly talented.

[matthewbaigent]

i want whatever that thing he has, so i can twidle shit tooo ITS SO FUCKING COOL

[Frinkets]

@matthewbaigent Get one and twidle away, it's a fuuuuuuucking blast.

[aerodynamics4u]

[Sheerrean]

[bertowins]

[grunntalll]

[Cleverconveyence]

[MrJixies]

[s0000000p]

legand. :)

[1stBONER]

can u do that with mpd24?



[teknojunkiemobile]

@1stBONER sure you just won't have as many banks or mixes involved, but the same idea can be used.

[guilynch]

@1stBONER yeah, that's all ableton

[marsvolt]

This is badass
