In this video, I explain how to use the grid in Bitwig Studio to calculate release time for a compressor based on beats instead of milliseconds. I show how to convert a ramp signal into a sound, measure the pitch using zero crossings, and then convert it to hertz and milliseconds. Although it's a hacky approach, it's a fun challenge and allows for time-based calculations in the grid.

In the video, I talk about zPlane's new plugin called Peel Stems, which is an updated version of their previous plugin, Peel. It allows you to separate stems in real-time or adjust their volume using the drums, bass, vocals, and other knobs. I demonstrate its effectiveness by showcasing examples with various tracks, highlighting its ability to separate stems even in heavily processed and compressed masters.

In this video, I explain how I use filters and filter key tracking in my synthesizer sound design. I demonstrate how filters can be used to remove or amplify specific harmonics in a sound, targeting frequencies like the first and second harmonics to enhance bass presence. I also show how key tracking allows filters to follow the frequency of different notes, making the filtering process more precise.

In this video, I focus on the sequencer part of the Triaz plugin by Wave Alchemy. By using the note grid in Bitwig, I demonstrate how to create polymetric drum sequences with individual lanes and adjustable loop lengths. I also showcase techniques like changing the gate length, velocity, and implementing retrigger features using modules like Trigger, Latch, and Shift.

In this video, I explain how to replicate the functionality of Corpus in Bitwig Studio. Corpus is essentially a resonator with specific frequencies, and by adjusting parameters like type, resonance, and in-harm, you can create different resonances and effects. I also provide a preset that emulates Corpus within Bitwig Studio and offer the option of using AAS's Object Delay if you want to achieve the exact same sound.

In today's video, I show a trick for using the segments module in the grid. By misusing the modules and drawing in waveforms, you can create unique sounds like kick drums and percussion. This method allows for persistence and the ability to save presets, making it a versatile tool within the grid.

The Moog Spectravox is a new vocoder/filter bank with limited features, but the sound quality is what sets it apart. While it's possible to replicate it in Bitwig Studio, it doesn't make sense to do so because the hardware device has a unique sound that can't be replicated in software. However, I've created a preset in Bitwig Studio that mimics the functionality of the Moog Spectravox for those interested in exploring it further.

In this video, I discuss the new features and improvements in Bitwig Studio 5.2 Beta2. I focus on the issues and improvements in tempo detection, highlighting the need for it to work in raw mode and suggesting the inclusion of pitch settings in the "Repitch" mode. Additionally, I showcase the new wavetable oscillatum, which allows for the removal of the fundamental frequency and the integration of a sub oscillator.

In the video, I announced the winners of the Bitwig Studio giveaway, with the Essential version going to Donc8295, the Producer version to Bull Noble, and the Studio version to T-Borban9556. I also shared some of the comments I received from viewers, who expressed their gratitude for Bitwig's support of Linux, the user support provided by the developers, and the fun and creativity that Bitwig Studio allows for. Lastly, I mentioned that I will be attending Super Booth and invited viewers to join me there.
May 10, 2024 Talk
In the video, I share my experience with discovering and using Bitwig Studio over the past 10 years. I talk about how it brought back the joy in making music for me, the power and flexibility of the software, and how it inspired me to start my YouTube channel and Patreon community. I also announce a competition where viewers can win the full version of Bitwig Studio or other prizes by commenting the year the software was released.
