I watch many ableton tutorials and must admit that this video is one of the best when it comes to explaining why you do certain things and what you are trying to achieve. Great job!

[@WillHatton]

Appreciate that so much!!

[@ivanr.7375]

finally! I think there is a large part of followers who expect more electronic music from you than lofi. thanks for this content

[@WillHatton]

My pleasure!!! I aim to please.

[@annawitkowska6980]

I used the Fred Again.. garage bass line to sample the Amelia Lily track shut up (and give me whatever you got) and then filmed the visualiser of Amelia Lily on the video.

[@annawitkowska6980]

This video has a lot of garage bass lines.

[@SKRDmusic]

Bro you jumped in at the right time. Fred's amazing and the boilerroom set was unbelievable.

[@WillHatton]

He’s definitely making EDM exciting again!

[@wavesnflames_]

Will, you're a duuuude! Really amazingly done and SO informational. As a Fred again fan and amateur music producer I am loving your content!!

[@alaric3056]

thanks for putting this together! I'm trying to pitch vocals like him from normal everyday speech.

[@zenoalteamusic]

Just absolutely love this track and became an instant fan of Fred Again. My compliments to your way of explaining all this and how fast you were with recreating this track. Subscribed!

[@WillHatton]

Thanks so much Zeno, really appreciate your words and your subscription! What stuff do you normally listen to?

[@zenoalteamusic]

@@WillHatton Grew up with RnB and Hiphop, but now I prefer mostly techno, tech house and melodic house. What about yourself?

[@bigfreak58]

Man I love this, glad I found your channel got my like and follow.

[@WillHatton]

Appreciate it! Thanks!

[@Orph3us33]

Fred Again and again and again. I've literally jammed that set 5 days a week every time i step in the gym.

[@WillHatton]

What a soundtrack 💪🏼

[@AQuarterPastMidnight]

Great content Will, nice little nod to Jon Hopkins there, didn’t go unnoticed 😎✌🏼

[@WillHatton]

Appreciate it 😉🙌🏼

[@5p1d3rhawk]

Every time I have writers block, I just tune into one of your videos and instantly cured, Thanks for making these.

[@WillHatton]

You’re so kind! I’m glad I can help!

[@joseluisfernandez3453]

nice explanation, very objective and clear, you did a super good job Will, keep it up!

[@servantsounds]

Got recommended this after watching the Fred Again BR, which was madness! Great walkthrough - this inspired track you've produced is approachable with plenty to learn from. It's sometimes demoralising when someone does a breakdown and their project is just unfathomable, but this is a brilliant mixture of accomplished sound design, solid mixing tips and hard-hitting sound. Subscribed - thanks!

[@WillHatton]

Thank you so much for your supportive words! I just try to make it as accessible for as many people as I can! Glad it was helpful!

[@modishmark]

Fantastic tutorial, thank you so much. Would you consider a Fred style vocal tutorial. Hope he pitches, manipulates and processes the vocal to create such cool effects. Thank you so much

[@WillHatton]

It’s on the cards!

[@modishmark]

@@WillHatton thanks so much!!

[@deepaknambisan3251]

Absolutely fantastic video… thank you so much. Subscribed!

[@WillHatton]

Thank YOU! 🙌🏼

[@morgan8937]

Awesome tutorial, TY!

[@WillHatton]

My pleasure!

[@SundayVibesmusic]

The energy tho!! ⚡️⚡️⚡️

[@blackaddermusic]

This tune absolutely slaps. You nailed it man. In terms of future videos, I think you might've done a Ross From Friends one before, on his lofi house style - but I reckon it'd be a great idea to do one on his more recent style from the Tread album, especially with some of the glitchy fx and unusual vocal processing on there. What do you think?

[@WillHatton]

That’s a great idea, a good follow up to a previously mentioned episode! Thanks for the inspo!!

[@ModernHeadspace]

Great video as always!

[@WillHatton]

Thank you!

[@purveyorsofpositivity]

Such a rad video, thanks man!

[@WillHatton]

My pleasure! Thanks for stopping by

[@emmas.h386]

Thanks for this! Some really useful processing tips that can use regardless of genre 😃

[@WillHatton]

My pleasure! Glad to be of help!

[@sandwich-breath]

Good timing on this one. I can’t stop watching his set. Sounds like these blokes are set to turn the scene on it’s ear

[@WillHatton]

And I’m all for it!!!

[@midsoulmusic]

Will this is awesome!!!

[@WillHatton]

Thank you, friend!

[@kraitbungmusic]

Thanks for this video man, you help me a lot!

[@WillHatton]

Thanks so much for your kindness!

[@samphilpott7384]

Great vid!

[@WillHatton]

Thanks a bunch!

[@ShortFormProductions]

Hey Will! What headphones do you use and do they work for playing guitar as well? Love the video!

[@WillHatton]

Hey bud, I use the DT 770 Pro's (80 ohm version) I assume they'll work with playing guitar, as long as you're running into an amp or interface

[@morganwaldock220]

Hi mate great videos, I’m new to Ableton and finding it hard to find the perfect or best way to learn, do u have anything that could help me, a specific video or course ?

[@WillHatton]

I offer 1-2-1 services at my Patreon if you’re looking to invest however there are 160 videos on my channel if you’re trying to keep costs down! My 10 tips video is probably a good place to start!

[@liambokser]

Great Job! However, I feel like there must be a quicker way to get that chopped up rotary effect on the vocal sample

[@chadhowat3392]

I just went through and did this tutorial and it took me over 2 hours. Still trying to get faster!

[@WillHatton]

Two hours is pretty great going! It takes me often a lot longer to get these tracks down for tutorials! Well done

[@malkaviamdarkpsy]

Thanks

[@WillHatton]

Thank YOU!

[@dluisvoz]

I'm a little confused on some of the audio effect rack dynamics...for instance, why have the one rack that has a glue compressor as well as a clean sort of pass thru... isn't this the same as just putting the compressor at 50% wet or am I thinking about this wrong?

[@francisjohnluke]

:O that bass tip

[@WillHatton]

New to me too, works wonders!

[@Jvssvl]

What a great tutorial mate. Love it. May I request a tutorial in the lines of Diplo - Let you go (Sebastian Ingrosso remix)

[@WillHatton]

Ooof! That sounds like a challenge, I’ll see what I can do!

[@Jvssvl]

@@WillHatton ha, with your talent, I’m pretty sure you can cook up something in those lines. No rush, I’ll be waiting patiently. 🙂

[@Bradford.C.Wallsbury]

You should do more uk garage videos!

[@WillHatton]

I think you're right

[@leaveitorsinkit242]

Sorry… I’m a bit confused. What does Fred again.. do exactly? Does he like combine DJing with production in a live performative manner?

[@WillHatton]

My guess is that he runs tracks with an edited version of his own songs on the CDJs and fires the one shots and vocal samples, sometimes drums off from the Maschine.

[@SebKorea]

Where can I find the samples ? I am using Logic Pro X. Is it easy to follow this tutorial with another DAW?

[@TS-jd9qs]

Omd the timing of this video🙏🏼

[@HeatedIsGod]

Are we able to buy this ableton project to use as a template? Would be really cool :)

[@WillHatton]

You can grab it from my Patreon

[@kurtiboi5902]

great work

[@exscapetravelling9224]

If you referenced the actual song when mixing, this would've been identical. Nevertheless, good job brother

[@WillHatton]

🙌🏼❤️

[@m6ckm6ckm6ck2]

9:08 I demand to know how tf u made this (subbed and followed)

[@WillHatton]

The sound I took out the edit? It’s just a rising synth pad in serum +24 semitones in the matrix on global pitch, LFO set to a mute and unmute pattern and then drenched in reverb and kept low in the mix.

[@FUFUWO]

How do I get Align Delay on my Ableton 11. Why don't I have this plugin?

[@WillHatton]

Need to be on the latest update, under audio effects then Utilities

[@mberone8649]

Ever hear about drum rack maybe use it

[@MattVorn]

I mean this is more of a how to recreate the track by Fred Again.. - this video would have been better if you cross-referenced a few of his notable releases such as Cross Me with Ed Sheeran and a ton of his other more electronic heavy tracks. Also this track was produced with Swedish House Mafia and so this isn't necessarily Fred's own sound.

[@WillHatton]

🥱

[@stm.natural_selection]

This is definitely Fred's sound what are you on about? G listen to his tracks he pretty much uses those same baselines and that vocal chop technique across the more dancefloor orientated tracks

[@DJ_BILLY]

ableton is so damn overwhelming lol

[@Prinx3ss_susu]

Im too dumb to understand this video lol

[@bartlettboi]

Lead doesnt sound anything like it

[@pinkbuddha_samplepackreviews]

great video as always!

[@WillHatton]

Appreciate it bud!
