Showcasing Projects and Presets: Bitwig Studio and Community Creations
Tutorial - Mai 23, 2019 Showcasing Projects and Presets: Bitwig Studio and Community Creations

In today's video, I showcased some creations by Sunset on Mars, an artist who contacted me on SoundCloud. He creates ambient tracks using Bitwig Studio with minimal use of additional VSTs. I also talked about the new features and fixes in Bitwig Studio 3.0 Beta 3 and encouraged viewers to try it out and provide feedback to the developers. I then showcased a preset called Mutated Butterfly Preset, which uses impulse responses of recursive filters to create sound. Finally, I shared a glitch generator created by N. Beidt, which adds interesting artifacts to drum loops. Overall, I asked for feedback on this format of showcasing community creations and expressed my willingness to share more in future videos.

Exploring the World of Frequency Modulation and Creating Rhythmic Videos
Tutorial - Mai 21, 2019 Exploring the World of Frequency Modulation and Creating Rhythmic Videos

In this video, I discuss the topic of frequency modulation (FM) and the differences between exponential and linear FM. I explain how exponential FM works by modulating the nodes of an oscillator, while linear FM modulates the frequency directly. I also mention the confusion between phase modulation (PM) and frequency modulation in some synthesizers. I highlight the Phase 4 synthesizer as a great tool for FM sounds and talk about my recent EP release on Bandcamp. I share my process of creating music videos, focusing on creating the music first and then editing the video to fit the music. I explain how I use empty wave files to create a BPM grid in Final Cut. Lastly, I provide an update on the gravity modulator in the Bitwig Discord community and thank viewers for their engagement and support.

Creating Rhythms with Oscillators in Bitwig Studio 3.0 Beta 2
Tutorial - Mai 17, 2019 Creating Rhythms with Oscillators in Bitwig Studio 3.0 Beta 2

In this video, I downloaded the new version of Bitwig Studio 3.0 Beta 2 and explored the new features, including an output clipping parameter on the audio out of the grid device. Then, I discussed pulley rhythms and chords and how to turn chords into pulley rhythms and back. I demonstrated a small setup in the Grid with multiple oscillators playing chords and how to modulate their pitch using a value parameter and an I/O output modulator. I also implemented filter devices to distinguish the sounds and used the low-pitched LFOs as timing signals to trigger other oscillators in a more audible range. I showed how this technique can be expanded and used to create different rhythm structures, using different ratios and even playing on the keyboard. Overall, it's a fun and easy way to create rhythm structures with oscillators.

Better VST Plugins in Bitwig
Tutorial - Sep 12, 2017 Better VST Plugins in Bitwig

Hey everyone, today I demonstrated what you're missing if you use a lot of VST plugins but don't utilize Bitwig. I showed how Bitwig's modulators can easily control parameters within both native devices and VST plugins, creating complex modulation patterns and saving them as presets.
