Open DAW is totally free and open source now!

[00:00:00] Hey folks, welcome back. We finally made it. It's finally here and they it's not about Bitwig studio
[00:00:05] it's about another project are already covered on this channel a few months ago and
[00:00:10] It's probably my most clicked or most viewed video on this channel for some reason
[00:00:16] So it looks like a lot of people are actually interested in this project and there's a big announcement today because
[00:00:23] Open door goes finally open source. That's right
[00:00:27] You can head over to github. You can download all the files. You can build it on your own PC
[00:00:33] You can make tweaks to it. You can make changes. You can add features. You can upload. You can fork
[00:00:38] Whatever you want to do with it, you can do it as of now, okay?
[00:00:43] The link is in the description below
[00:00:45] But I also want to give you a quick tour here to show you some of the changes from from the last video
[00:00:52] So here in the background you can see OpenDAW running on the web page OpenDAW.studio
[00:00:59] So if you don't want to build this for yourself on your local PC, you can still head over to OpenDAW.studio and
[00:01:07] Create your own music without log in without a subscription
[00:01:12] There are no fees. You don't need to click cookies away or anything like this
[00:01:17] You just head over to OpenDAW.studio and you just make music
[00:01:22] And if you want to download download the whole thing, you can head over to github and you can download all the files
[00:01:27] You can make all the things you want to do to this door. You can do it and
[00:01:31] There are also some additional features here
[00:01:36] In OpenDAW since my last video. So we have for instance here a new sampler called playfield
[00:01:44] Which is a drum computer. We have a simple sampler called nano
[00:01:49] Very nice. We have a stereo tool now and the stereo tool also features
[00:01:55] I'll show you this in a minute. So stereo tool we have here also a new is
[00:01:59] Zeitgeist or Zeitgeist how it's pronounced in Germany. Zeitgeist, okay, very hard edge pronounced
[00:02:07] So let's go. Don't go to playfield here. It's basically a drum sampler
[00:02:14] That's here. So this is how it looks like. Let's increase the size to the scale
[00:02:19] multiple cells
[00:02:21] How you're used to basically how this looks like it's the same
[00:02:25] Enabled in life or Bitwig studio multiple samples here multiple cells can drag in the samples from your hard drive into these cells
[00:02:33] And then they are played back
[00:02:35] Just here with a note clip very easy very simple
[00:02:40] We can also go into these samples here make some tweaks and changes go back out and
[00:02:44] Very straightforward very easy very simple. Then there's a stereo tool here
[00:02:50] the stereo tool is
[00:02:53] Some useful
[00:02:56] utility
[00:02:57] plug-in
[00:02:58] How I want to call it so we can change the volume panning stereo you can invert the left the right channel
[00:03:05] And there's also here a feature called out again, which was my feature requests and I really want to have this in every door
[00:03:12] So all you have to do here for the drums for instance
[00:03:15] You press this and then it's analyzing the audio wave form for a few seconds
[00:03:21] And it gives you here the right volume. So nothing peaks above zero DB
[00:03:27] So it takes basically the last highest peak and pulls down the volume until the last highest peak is exactly at zero
[00:03:35] DB so very straightforward a normalizer here, maybe the analyzing thing here could be a bit longer
[00:03:41] But it it works it works neatly just have a quick volume change here and make sure nothing is above zero DB
[00:03:51] So we don't need to tweak here basically the
[00:03:53] slider or the faders all the time
[00:03:56] Then you can hear the background here the samples playing
[00:04:00] But you can also introduce side guys or tight guys
[00:04:04] Which is some kind of groove tool so it gives you here a duration 1/8 note and then an amount
[00:04:10] So 50% is I think no change to the groove
[00:04:14] And then you can pull this down or push it up and then it's kind of
[00:04:21] Moves everything between every eighth note to the left and to the right side or stretches it. I don't know how to call it
[00:04:29] So
[00:04:31] It's probably really nice for hip-hop grooves
[00:04:43] For everything else probably also so it's very fun to play around with it because it's very simple and straightforward
[00:04:51] You have just two knobs and you play around with it. You get nice grooves out of it, right?
[00:04:56] Okay, so just delete this so zeitgeist zeitgeist is new
[00:05:00] Pitch is old stereo tools. No nano. So nano is here something I used here for these melodies here
[00:05:10] So this is nano here in the front
[00:05:16] It's just a volume knob the release release time and some kind of cell
[00:05:20] You can also drag in samples from your hard drive into this cell here
[00:05:25] And then it uses C3
[00:05:27] As the main pitch and then it uses here the notes to transpose everything up or down
[00:05:32] So my sample in here is basically a keyboard sample on C3 and then I play here some notes in it
[00:05:39] And that's it very straightforward also very simple
[00:05:43] But I also like to have these simple tools here in this browser
[00:05:49] Door because sometimes you just want to have some limitations. You just want to straightforward create a melody without distractions
[00:05:56] You don't don't want to have all these
[00:05:58] Millions of options or possibilities like you have enabled in life or bitwig here
[00:06:05] It's very straightforward. Just concentrate or focus on the melody drag in a nice sample and play around with it
[00:06:11] So this is nano playfield. There's also what I showed you here already. Okay
[00:06:18] Let's close this down
[00:06:21] Delete track, okay, and then we have also a new here this kind of piano tutorial view
[00:06:30] Let's actually
[00:06:34] Unmute
[00:06:39] You can change the keyboard sizing
[00:06:46] And also disable certain tracks
[00:06:48] So you can modify this maybe it's great for making videos or maybe to
[00:06:55] Practice piano, I don't know what it's nice to have and it looks nice
[00:07:01] So this is the piano tutorial mode
[00:07:05] The mixer is still here
[00:07:07] We have some I think I showed us in the last video we have here also local samples
[00:07:13] So you can just drag in some samples in here and it's stored in your browser sandbox
[00:07:18] It's a special directory on your local hard drive. I'm pretty sure you can also just drag this out to a
[00:07:25] Different directory or so we can also change here
[00:07:30] The names of the samples and very important also to BPM. So sometimes you want to have double time
[00:07:38] Halftime of the samples like I have here with this drone
[00:07:42] Sample in the background. It's basically playing halftime. So it's
[00:07:47] 85 BPM, but I just changed it to
[00:07:50] 170 BPM so it's playing basically halftime
[00:07:56] so yeah, you can do this here and you can also
[00:08:00] Export everything makes stems so it gives you basically a zip file
[00:08:07] Save it's also locally stored. We have a local storage here with all the files. It's not shared
[00:08:15] It's not online. So it's very important
[00:08:17] To know it's that that's the point I want to make you don't need to have this online
[00:08:23] It's everything can be local, right? There's no look in no subscription. You don't have to pay anything
[00:08:29] It's completely free as it gets. Okay, there's no hook to it
[00:08:34] Because certain people couldn't believe it in the last video
[00:08:37] Okay, so that's that in my opinion pretty dope
[00:08:43] Also here, this is the github repository. The link is in the description below
[00:08:48] This one here is just the overview explaining all the ideas and shout outs to the people and
[00:08:55] Here are the links to the studio
[00:08:59] Repo and also the library repo so sub module. So it split up into three
[00:09:05] Repository repositories more or less
[00:09:08] So this is the studio one all the files you need to build basically the door for yourself
[00:09:14] And it's all based on JavaScript HTML or CSS and that stuff
[00:09:20] So if you are if you can make a web page, you basically can understand what's happening in here
[00:09:26] It's not based on a react. That's very special in my opinion
[00:09:31] everything is explained here what you need to
[00:09:34] What you need to install what kind of libraries you need or package managers or whatever everything is in here
[00:09:41] Then there's also a second here a second
[00:09:43] repository for the libraries
[00:09:46] Also very nicely explained and it's based on GPL
[00:09:52] Version 3 license. That's maybe important to know. So all the links are in the description below
[00:09:59] And also make sure you leave a donation to
[00:10:02] Andre to keep this project alive
[00:10:06] Also link is in the description below if you want to know that so all I want to say is this is completely free
[00:10:15] You can do whatever you want with it. All the links are in the description
[00:10:20] Donation is also in the description if you want to push a donation to Andre. It's very important and
[00:10:26] It's a great project. I mean what else do I have to say to you, right? There's no hook
[00:10:34] Pretty dope to have this and I want to make an update video on this
