Creating Backdrop - Generative-2023-02-07 Bitwig Grid Preset #
Feb 02, 2023 Tutorial
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.
Scatter by Soundghost - A Simple grain cloud VST Plug-in #
Feb 02, 2023 Tutorial
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!
Recreating the Doppler Effect in Bitwig Studio #
Feb 02, 2023 Tutorial
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.
Better Panning in Bitwig Studio - Simulating Real-World Stereo Field #
Feb 01, 2023 Tutorial
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.
Unlock Amazing Drum Sounds with Goran Groove's Studio Standard #
Jan 31, 2023 Tutorial
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.
Creating Realistic Rain Sounds in Bitwig #
Jan 30, 2023 Tutorial
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.
