In this video, I introduce a new plugin called Bleass Voices. Unlike other plugins on the market that are just repackaged versions of existing features, Bleass Voices offers features that are truly unique and worth looking into. The main interface of the plugin has multiple tabs, including performance, MIDI, voices, modulation, and sequencer.

Sound design tips and tricks using Bitwig Studio: Convolution, Rolling Sampler and System Audio Bridge #
Jun 12, 2023 Tutorial
In this video, I share some tips and tricks for sound design in Bitwig Studio. I start by showing how to use the System Audio Bridge and Rolling Sampler tools to record audio from the browser into Bitwig. Then, I demonstrate how to use a sample to shape a sign oscillator in order to create a richer kick drum sound. Next, I show how to use a convolution device to add tonality to a hi-hat and how to apply this technique to synth sounds as well. Finally, I demonstrate how to use convolution for clap and percussion sounds and how to shape these sounds using various modules in Bitwig. Overall, the key to getting the most out of these techniques is to pay attention to the input sound and shape it appropriately to achieve the desired results.
The Profound Influence of Music on the Brain: A Neuroscientific Perspective #
Jun 11, 2023 Article
In his lecture, Daniel Levitin explores the extensive engagement of the brain with music, its potential benefits in cognitive transfer, and the importance of appreciating music and arts for their inherent value, while also highlighting the role of the brain's "default mode" in music processing.
Using Global Modulators in Bitwig for Interchannel Communication #
Jun 09, 2023 Tutorial
In this video, I explore using global modulators in Bitwig to send signals from one channel to another. I start by showing how it's not easy to route signals from the Polygrid device to a different channel. Then, I suggest using a DC offset in the FX box and muting the channel to generate audio signals that can be grabbed with an audio rate modulator to easily modulate something on a different channel. I explain how this workaround can be used on multiple channels and how it can be set up as a preset for future use. I also note that there could potentially be latency issues when using multiple VSTs, but I haven't tested it yet.

How to Convert Your Microphone into MIDI Notes in Bitwig Studio for Beatboxing and Triggering Samples #
Jun 05, 2023 Tutorial
In this video, I show how to record your microphone and convert it into MIDI notes to trigger random samples in Bitwig Studio. To do this, I use a trigger to trigger the kick drum, snare, and hi-hat samples, and a hardware device to select the microphone input. I also use an auto-leveler with a follower, threshold, and sustainer to amplify the vocals and filter out noise. To separate the sounds, I use a sound key filter with a bandpass, low pass, and high pass, and use logic to exclude certain combinations of triggers. Finally, I use a quantizer in trigger mode to put all the triggers on the grid. Overall, this process requires a lot of tweaking and filtering to find the right sweet spot, but it can be done in Bitwig Studio with some experimentation.

Creating Dubstep Growl in Bitwig Studio Without Additional VST Plugins #
May 29, 2023 Tutorial
In this tutorial, I use a pulley grid in Bitwig Studio to create a growl sound for dubstep without any additional VST plugins. Using a complex waveform in the scroll oscillator, I filter specific vocal noise frequencies using two selling key filters and modulate them with the segments. I add overtones with a sine oscillator before experimenting with a second scroll and a phaser for added texture. I use an EQ plus to amplify these frequencies before using a voice stacking mode to add density and panning the voices. Finally, I use a peak limiter and auto level plugin to balance the levels and give the sound a polished finish. Overall, I hope to provide inspiration for creating unique growl sounds in Bitwig Studio.
