Make Textures with an EQ

Sep 01, 2024 Tutorial
In this video, I demonstrate two tips in Bitwig Studio. The first tip is about adding dirtiness to kick drums using either distortion, noise modulation, or using the EQ with a render modulator. The second tip is about creating a mono effect below a certain frequency using the mid-side split and a high pass filter.

Custom Filters in Bitwig

Aug 26, 2024 Tutorial
In this video, I demonstrate how to create unique and interesting filter shapes using Bitwig Studio's Grid and all-pass modules. By combining a dry signal with various all-pass filters and using invert and blend modules, it is possible to create custom filter types with different peaking frequencies and characteristics. These filters can be manipulated and modulated to create dynamic and evolving sounds in Bitwig Studio.

Friday Bitwig Jam Catchy Melodic Track

Aug 23, 2024 Tutorial
In this video, I start by using polymer to create a quad progression with a saw 16 fat spread out. I then add chorus and delay effects, as well as a no transpose and a global modulator. Next, I record the sound into audio and put it into a sampler, applying reverb and using the transpose feature. I also create a bass from the recorded sound and add percussion elements to create an interesting pattern. Finally, I introduce a lead sound and make some adjustments to the cutoff, volume, and randomization. I end the video with a crash and thank the viewers for watching.

Oxford Inflator in Bitwig and how it works

Aug 07, 2024 Tutorial
In this video, I demonstrate how to replicate the Oxford Inflator plugin inside Bitwig Studio. While the Oxford Inflator is essentially just a soft clipper or saturator, I attempted to copy its curve as closely as possible. I provide a free preset for Bitwig Studio users to achieve a similar effect with options like the FX filter plus device, bipolar/unipolar options, or the saturator with a soft knee.
