Dec 05, 2022 Bitwig Tutorial
This video discusses building a poly grid with unusual methods. It starts with dialing in a tempo and using a pitches module with a probabilities module to create a melody. It then goes on to explain how to use a sample and hold module and a clock quantizer to create a rhythm. After that, it explains how to use a sine oscillator, a mod delay, and a chorus to create an FX section. Finally, it explains how to use a volume slider and an octaver to create a bass.

This video is about using sampling as a way to create unique analog sounds. It provides tips on how to use a microphone, speakers, and a synthesizer to record sounds, re-amp them, and create unique waveforms. The video also covers how to use a sampler to adjust the pitch and create interesting distortions.

In this video, I show how to use the FX Grid in Bitwig to clean up and quantize samples for easier use in a sampler. I go through the steps of using a loud split to remove noise, and then an auto level preset to normalize the sound. I also explain how to use a follower, latch, and logic modules to trigger recording and playback, which allows for quantization of audio. Finally, I show how to use the FX Grid for more creative effects.

This video is about the frequency shifter of Bitwig Studio, which shifts the frequencies without changing the pitch. It explains how to use the knob to shift the frequencies up or down and the range knob to adjust the amount of frequency shifting. It also explain how to use the left knob to create a stereo effect, the mix knob for dry or wet signal, and how to use the frequency shifter on drums and kick drums to create a variety of different sounds.

This video is about the De-esser feature in Bitwig Studio, a software program. The video explains how to use the compressor to reduce the loudness of harsh frequencies, as well as how to adjust the cutoff frequency, gain reduction, and filter type. The video also provides examples of how the De-esser can be used on drums.

Played around with some pads and #touchosc and thought about recording a short jam. So I took some pads out for a space walk.

In this video I discussed how to mimic the behavior of the DSEQ3 with Bitwig Studio's native Loud Split device. I demonstrated how to set the Loud Split device to a 3 dB per octave tilt setting and how to adjust the loudness level, knee setting, and rise and fall settings. I showed how to identify resonances and over amplified frequencies in a mixdown and how to use the Loud Split device to reduce these frequencies. I also suggested using the Loud Split device for mastering.

In this video, I demonstrated how to create a simple auto-leveling patch in the grid. I used an oscilloscope, a divide or division operation, and a follow-off to average out the audio signal. I also implemented a threshold algorithm to make sure that the auto-leveler doesn't amplify noise annoyingly. This technique works in any modular environment and can be useful for maintaining the same loudness level for a generative grid patch or audio clip.
