Music Production Knowledge Backlog

In this video, I'm talking about how automation can be used to progress your track, how to use it as an arrangement tool, and why it's the most important thing you have in your tool belt. I explain how I use automation to draw in value changes over time and introduce a storyline to my arrangement. I also discuss how I use modulation to give my sound an organic feel and how to use automation to make more drastic changes to progress my track. Finally, I demonstrate how I use automation to introduce a groove and rhythm to the listener and give them a sense of when something is happening in the track.

I showed how to create a beat repeater with the FX grid by splitting the drum loop into four recorders and sequencing them. I explained how to use the phase input to evenly step through the split device, and how to use the phase signal to rearrange the playback order. I also showed how to use the mirror output to create a faster playback with finer grains. Finally, I demonstrated how to use a step sequence to blend in the repeater.

In this video, I showed a simple way of creating a lo-fi effect in Bitwig Studio with the FX Grid. I demonstrated how to use lag, noise, distortion, and modulation to create an interesting effect. I also showed how to add different filters and blend in noise to create a unique sound. Finally, I encouraged viewers to download the patch and have fun exploring and tweaking the settings.

In a dystopian future, humanity has been forced to leave Earth and settle on a distant planet. Life is harsh on this new world, and the people struggle to survive in a hostile environment. But despite the challenges, a new form of art and culture has emerged. This new sound, born from the experiences and emotions of the settlers, is a fusion of neurofunk, ambient, and dub. This is the sound of the future, and it's what keeps the settlers going.

In this video, I show how to create a poly grid to generate a tutorial for the week. I demonstrate how to use a length module and a note to get a long sustain phase with a short trigger phase that is perfect for pads. I also show how to use a Wavetable to create a melody and then layer it with random modulation, an octaver, and an external VST effect. Finally, I add a bass line and some drums to finish the patch.

I recently bought the Scatter VST plug-in, which is a granular cloud generator. It's simple to use with only one page and lots of features. You can adjust the mix, reverb, feedback, number of grains, size, pitch, and other parameters. I love that you can add it to a chain with other effects to get bigger results. It's also on sale at the moment, so I recommend giving it a try!

In this video, I demonstrated how to recreate the famous Doppler effect within Bitwig Studio using an FX grid. I explained how the sound from a car driving past you would pitch up until it is directly in front of you and then pitch down as it moves away from you. To achieve this, I used a modulator, an absolute module, and an X and Y pad. I also used a logarithmic modulator and an convolution reverb to simulate a more realistic sound. Finally, I provided a preset with the settings used in the video in the description below.

In this video, I'm discussing panning in Bitwig Studio. I explain how pan knobs can be a bit unnatural because they don't take into account the room environment and the direct signal from both the left and right side. I suggest using the grid to split up the signal and add attenuation, blending, delay, and a low-pass filter to simulate the room environment and create a more realistic stereo field. I also provide a free preset for viewers to try out.

In this video, I showed you Goran Groove's handy drum library called 'Studio Standard'. It has multiple velocity layers for each instrument and the sounds are already well-mixed, so you don't need to adjust the volume sliders. There are some drawbacks though, like no built-in EQ settings. I demonstrated how the plug-in works by creating a drum groove in Bitwig and showed you some of the features like velocity spread and probability settings. Finally, I also mentioned that the library is very affordable and that there is a free trial available on the website.

I was creating a dense rain sound effect by layering different noise modules and then changing the volume of the noise with a multiplier. I then added layers to the sound with a sample and hold, a bandpass filter, and a convolution with a room. Finally, I modulated the EQ to change over time.
