Bitwig Live Stream Test: Making Music & Community Q&A

[00:00:00] Hey folks, welcome back, a new stream finally on this channel.
[00:00:05] For some reason, after one year I'm finally starting to stream again.
[00:00:10] And it's just a test stream.
[00:00:12] So don't get too excited, right?
[00:00:15] It's just a test stream.
[00:00:17] And all I'm trying to do is to see if my setup actually works, if my microphone is working
[00:00:23] or Bitwig is still working because I haven't made music in, I don't know, how much, how
[00:00:29] long.
[00:00:30] So this is what I'm trying to do.
[00:00:33] Also to see if actually the chat works in my main view, which is this view here.
[00:00:40] So I'm just trying to get an idea what's going to happen tomorrow.
[00:00:46] So it's only one day left until we get the beta version of Bitwig 6, the most anticipated
[00:00:53] Bitwig release ever in the history of digital audio workstations probably.
[00:00:58] Oh, I see already people in the chat there, Russian folks, I can't read the name, sorry,
[00:01:05] yo.
[00:01:06] Alexander is there.
[00:01:07] Hello.
[00:01:08] Howdy, howdy.
[00:01:09] Jay Cree.
[00:01:10] Hello.
[00:01:11] So it's, it's obviously working.
[00:01:14] Also I see the chat is working on my video overlay because I want to have the chat inside
[00:01:20] of the video.
[00:01:21] I think it's, it's kind of nice to have that.
[00:01:24] I know that on YouTube you have like the live chat all the time on the right side, when
[00:01:30] the VOD goes active or when the VOD goes live.
[00:01:33] But I think it's still great to have the chat inside of the video.
[00:01:38] It's just different connection.
[00:01:41] So here my, this kind of works, hello.
[00:01:46] The main view, I think it's still great.
[00:01:48] So I haven't changed anything, there's my old logo down there, yeah it looks kind of
[00:01:55] nice.
[00:01:56] What you can see in the background is it's still Bitwig 5, okay?
[00:02:00] It's still Bitwig 5.
[00:02:02] Nothing is shown until tomorrow, until they drop the embargo or however this is called.
[00:02:12] So I don't know when they release tomorrow, probably within the office hours or something
[00:02:20] like that.
[00:02:21] Maybe it's delayed.
[00:02:22] I have no idea, okay?
[00:02:24] So looks like the stream is working.
[00:02:27] Valerie Verbinski, release some what's new, god damn it.
[00:02:33] Tomorrow, it's tomorrow, okay?
[00:02:35] Tomorrow, we have to wait.
[00:02:39] It's actually, I see, it's disabling or resetting the chat when I switch your scenes.
[00:02:46] This is not good.
[00:02:49] Oh yeah, delete the cache here, okay, okay, I hope this is working now.
[00:02:58] So yes, we have to wait just one day and then they will probably do a big announcement,
[00:03:06] also a big website with all the new features and so on.
[00:03:10] They already have a new URL live, looks like this, bitwig.com/whatsnew and on the website
[00:03:16] here is any minute now, actually it's coming soon, but the website is already live.
[00:03:22] So it's dropping at some point tomorrow.
[00:03:28] Hey, inverted popes, hey everyone, yes, welcome.
[00:03:33] This is under Berlin's time zone right here.
[00:03:41] So my guess is they release in the office hours tomorrow.
[00:03:46] Maybe, maybe, very rarely, they maybe delay it, but it could be, I don't know, but I guess
[00:03:53] it's tomorrow at some point.
[00:04:00] They should release it at midnight their time.
[00:04:02] Well that's the problem and you have bugs, right, you need maybe some developers in the
[00:04:08] office to correct some stuff or to react to some things.
[00:04:13] It's probably better to have it over the day.
[00:04:17] I haven't made actually music live for quite some time.
[00:04:42] Yeah, also midnight release.
[00:04:45] I mean, you have a lot of folks in Germany, they probably want to try it out or they want
[00:04:50] to use it, so at midnight is not the best time.
[00:04:57] Is bitwig still like two deaths?
[00:04:59] No, it's way more.
[00:05:02] Maybe 20, 25 or something, I don't know the exact number.
[00:05:18] Will you start streaming at the moment, it is released or will you give it a try first
[00:05:23] if you did not give it a try already?
[00:05:25] I will start as soon as the download is available, I downloaded the grand version, install it
[00:05:34] and then just switch the stream on and I show you everything.
[00:05:38] So hopefully I'm the fastest guy alive on stream.
[00:05:49] Midnight for us in the US is like 6pm, yeah, that's okay.
[00:05:54] Excited for tomorrow?
[00:05:55] Yeah, probably everyone.
[00:05:57] Everyone is waiting for bitwig 6, I hope everyone is really hyped about all the new features
[00:06:03] coming.
[00:06:18] I'm surprised they didn't hire you.
[00:06:19] Well I'm actually not a diva lover, I'm just a guy talking out of my ass basically, so
[00:06:27] why should they hire me, so a lot of people like what I say on my youtube videos but I'm
[00:06:34] far from a professional or anything, I just like everyone else trying to make sense out
[00:06:42] of everything.
[00:06:43] Feels like Christmas, yeah exactly, it's exactly like that, it's this kind of hype before you
[00:06:53] know there are a lot of nice gifts coming your way.
[00:06:58] When update tomorrow?
[00:07:02] So 12, 12 hours.
[00:07:10] It should be during business hours in Berlin's time soon, yes exactly.
[00:07:27] Maybe I should put my second camera so you can see what I do on my keyboard, I have a
[00:07:35] second camera, I have this one here, you can see this but you can't see my keyboard.
[00:07:43] Okay, switching scenes also works without clearing the chat, nice.
[00:07:50] Sorry I didn't see, did you review the sound card, yes I did, I did a video on that.
[00:07:58] It's actually pretty great, the only downside I had was the missing inputs, it's just
[00:08:03] two or four inputs.
[00:08:10] Wigmas, yes exactly.
[00:08:13] Yeah, I know the stream is important for some guys because they are on work so they can't
[00:08:21] try it out, right, or some different time zones so they can try it out at the moment
[00:08:27] when it releases so it's pretty dope to have a stream, the live stream to just show everything
[00:08:33] and answer some questions here and there.
[00:08:38] So I guess it will be huge, huge hype tomorrow.
[00:08:54] Hoping that Bitwig 6 doesn't break any driven by MOS scripts, I'm pretty sure they will
[00:08:59] test this because it's very important for them to have all the controllers also working
[00:09:06] in Bitwig.
[00:09:07] Maybe there are some bugs here and there but I guess they all will work, they are also
[00:09:12] constantly updating the API so it's probably, I'm pretty confident that it all works out.
[00:09:19] Do you know roughly what time you will stream tomorrow?
[00:09:35] No, I don't know actually, it depends when they release.
[00:09:44] As soon as I see the announcement or they have the download available I will download
[00:09:49] the actual, the current version and then I will go live.
[00:09:53] If the piano roll is good I'm opening my wallet.
[00:09:59] What do you want to see in the piano roll?
[00:10:00] Let me know.
[00:10:03] Yeah, let's drop all the feature requests, let me know what you want to see tomorrow.
[00:10:08] This could be interesting.
[00:10:10] I know all of you like to drop your feature requests, let me know.
[00:10:16] We'll be watching you, nice, thanks Bitmap.
[00:10:20] Just seen a video on YouTube where he created a semi-random multisample, Bitwig never gonna
[00:10:24] stop amazement.
[00:10:25] Yeah, the biggest thing about Bitwig for me is actually always the modularity that you
[00:10:30] can do everything and you always find some kind of way to make something happen even
[00:10:36] though it's not intended and you always find a way to walk around where you make sick drum
[00:10:48] bass.
[00:10:49] Maybe, maybe, some nice bass lines.
[00:10:59] To be honest, I'm a bit nervous actually.
[00:11:05] What chat feature is disabled now?
[00:11:10] Can't be.
[00:11:14] Let me see here.
[00:11:25] Excellent connection.
[00:11:28] I want to see it tested on Linux.
[00:11:31] I have a Linux computer here on, also have Mint installed on this PC as a dual boot.
[00:11:40] But I need to make some plug-ins running first so I can have some options there.
[00:11:48] Make myself a bit more confident with Linux, but then there will be a video on about Bitwig
[00:11:55] and Linux on how to make everything work out.
[00:11:58] But it's planned, it's planned, okay.
[00:12:13] Okay, my chat is here disabled in OBS for some reason, good to know.
[00:12:24] So it's probably better to have here the dashboard of YouTube open tomorrow.
[00:12:31] Okay, let's see here what people say.
[00:12:42] How do you think the battle Bitwig will be improved and what are your personal expectations
[00:12:53] will it just be transition or a massive update?
[00:12:56] I can't talk about it, to be honest.
[00:12:59] We will see it tomorrow.
[00:13:04] I'm hoping for adaptive triplet grid automation workflow that is a lot less restrictive and
[00:13:09] faster ability to point to multiple file paths for smart collections.
[00:13:14] Okay, that's pretty focused.
[00:13:21] Pretty specific.
[00:13:29] Smooth vertical zooming with modifier plus mouse wheel in the range are good, nice.
[00:13:35] So quality of live stuff.
[00:13:42] Alex wants to see key step sequencing like Ableton, that would be so cool.
[00:13:46] Sometimes you can't play a passage on a MIDI controller, but now the melody just want
[00:13:50] to step through the grid and insert notes.
[00:13:53] Nice one.
[00:13:56] Also automation blocks like Reaper where you can copy paste them over clips independently,
[00:14:01] nice.
[00:14:11] Honestly most things work on Linux.
[00:14:12] You mean plug-ins, right?
[00:14:15] Yeah, I tried some plug-ins.
[00:14:18] I had some initial problems to get my head around how Jarbridge works on Linux, how Linux
[00:14:24] works and how to interact with wine and stuff like this, but when I got the hang of it,
[00:14:31] it was pretty easy.
[00:14:37] I'm using it on Manjaro works pretty well, nice.
[00:14:44] Using Arc for Linux, is it Arch or is it Arc, it's Arch, right?
[00:14:48] Arch for Linux works pretty well without many issues at all.
[00:14:55] I tried to maybe go to Arch, but then I saw it's actually very, you have to be very specific
[00:15:01] what you want to install, so it's very customizable and I was a bit shy about that.
[00:15:06] Maybe I try Mint first, having a regular installer and so on.
[00:15:11] Then maybe when I'm more confident in Linux and I know exactly what I want, then I probably
[00:15:16] go to Arch or whatever then is the current trendy thing.
[00:15:23] Hey, Stunheads.
[00:15:28] We want Bitwig to generate all my music so I can get rid of my inspiration, okay?
[00:15:34] Also AI stuff.
[00:15:45] What I really hope we get is a step media input that's a little more like live, I think
[00:15:50] that's really easy to use, okay?
[00:15:53] So I guess most people just want features they know from other doors, right?
[00:15:59] That's probably what they want.
[00:16:08] For me personally, I just want to have actually more modularity that you can pick certain
[00:16:16] instruments apart or maybe some FFT processing inside of the grid or extending the grid or
[00:16:22] what I really want to see and I know it's a big thing for me is like an interface that
[00:16:30] you create interfaces inside here of the chain, of the device chain, right?
[00:16:37] We have here this polymer and we have here devices or modules from inside of the grid
[00:16:42] would be nice that we could actually design our own devices, first level chain devices
[00:16:51] and they all basically have something underlying which is then realized inside of the grid.
[00:16:57] Something like this could be nice, could be Gaia, yes of course and maybe something to
[00:17:10] create some interfaces or here some GUI elements, background images or something like this.
[00:17:20] Sure data grid block, yeah, actually something like a code block could be nice.
[00:17:26] So we have in the grid a small little block and you can type in some script, Lua scripting
[00:17:32] or whatever they want to use, JavaScript or something easy so you can make processes
[00:17:42] happen with codes, with coding.
[00:17:44] I know it's a pretty, it's a pretty nerdy question and not everyone wants it but my
[00:17:52] answer to that is always yes, it's not interesting for everyone but there are a lot of people
[00:18:01] in the community that are pretty, have pretty knowledge of all of this DSP stuff and they
[00:18:07] can realize instruments and they can give you basically presets and then we all benefit
[00:18:12] from that.
[00:18:16] Out your retrospective looper with quantizing, yes for ambient it could be nice, I always
[00:18:22] use this one here, this fall extract, I just record stuff into that and then I just leave
[00:18:29] it on.
[00:18:31] And I actually delete this here, settings, probably not, just let me just remove this.
[00:18:48] So this is here something or this fall extract is actually how I want to use the sampler
[00:18:54] in Bitwig.
[00:18:55] I want to hit the record button here and then play something in.
[00:19:22] And then you just let it play more or less.
[00:19:48] About to pick from the announcement, looks like a ranger stuff.
[00:19:52] Yeah, I mean they already teased a lot of things with this image, you can see a lot
[00:19:58] of crazy things in the image and yeah, looks like a lot of things in the ranger, of course.
[00:20:09] Hope that's not all, yeah, what do you want, what do you expect, I mean they focus or they
[00:20:16] said in the last update 5.3 or like that, they said they want to focus on the ranger
[00:20:23] and they're always focused on something with each update, right, they have a focus on something
[00:20:28] and there are a lot of people are hyped about this and then there's a part of the community
[00:20:33] always saying nothing in there for me, right, I want to have something completely different
[00:20:39] but that's how it is, right, but I would say in the last updates they try to basically
[00:20:45] go into each direction to certain directions inside Bitwig and update stuff there.
[00:20:57] Great update, yeah.
[00:21:15] Off topic question, do Windows VSTs work for you guys in Linux using your bridge?
[00:21:21] I tried it with the Valhalla reverb because I use it a lot, so this one was working here
[00:21:27] and I also tried it with the Pro-Q4, this one here.
[00:21:36] It also worked in Linux kind of nice, I had problems with the latest wine version in Linux,
[00:21:47] everything here with the events was off but it just downgraded the wine version and it's
[00:21:51] worked perfectly.
[00:22:01] When will the stream start tomorrow?
[00:22:03] As soon as they announce Bitwig 6 and as soon as I can download the beta version, I will
[00:22:12] try to download the beta version, install it and then start the stream so I can't give
[00:22:18] you a time.
[00:22:22] I don't know when exactly.
[00:22:31] To which version exactly?
[00:22:33] I don't know, I tried to Google it for this exact problem and I said, I don't know which
[00:22:40] version, I have to look it up.
[00:22:46] 9.21, yeah, something like this.
[00:22:55] Everyone hold off on downloading tomorrow so we can make sure Polarity gets it without
[00:23:00] lag.
[00:23:01] Nice.
[00:23:02] Okay, I say when I'm done and then you can all start.
[00:23:28] By the way here, ModArt, the creators or the company of PianoTech, they gave me a full
[00:23:34] license out of nowhere, they just wrote an email to me and said, here is the license.
[00:23:41] I said, okay, thanks.
[00:23:44] How great.
[00:23:47] I use it anyway.
[00:23:48] I don't use it anyway.
[00:24:07] Hey, dummies.
[00:24:33] Now I get why certain streamers have this big kind of screen on the left side where they
[00:24:37] have only the chat.
[00:24:39] There's so much to read sometimes and I have not that many viewers.
[00:24:44] Sometimes people have 30K viewers and they probably stopped reading the chat, but for
[00:24:57] me it's kinda nice to have the chat.
[00:25:23] Improved I/O routing would be nice.
[00:25:26] Your receiver is good, but it can get a bit complicated and weird.
[00:25:39] What if this update is so massive, our community explodes and this is the last time we have
[00:25:45] a peaceful Polarity stream.
[00:25:49] Oh you mean that a lot of people come in, moving over from Able to Live and Cubase and
[00:25:55] then, yeah, this is always, I see this sometimes in gaming communities when a game, you know,
[00:26:06] is taking off and a lot of people coming in and then a lot of casual players and so play
[00:26:10] the game and a lot of dedicated players are actually moving away because they can't play
[00:26:17] the game in their preferred way.
[00:26:20] 30K viewers incoming now, never, not for a music stream.
[00:26:24] I think you can't, I don't know, you have to be very, very, very entertaining to make
[00:26:32] a music stream with 30K viewers and I'm way too nerdy and I'm way too German and my English
[00:26:40] is not that, you know, I can't speak, but it's not like that I can pull off a comedy
[00:26:48] show or something like this.
[00:26:56] I think it's pretty good to interact with the chat because people want to see, you know,
[00:27:02] you want to have interaction for me, it's also interesting to see what the community
[00:27:05] is up to, what they're thinking.
[00:27:08] I also see a lot of familiar faces, I know, from my YouTube comments and I really like
[00:27:13] to be in the small little niche and small little spot instead of having, you know, a
[00:27:19] lot of thousands of views and I don't know anyone in the comments.
[00:27:26] And I also see sometimes when I have videos, I put videos out and they are going out of
[00:27:31] my usual viewer range or, yeah, then I basically get very weird comments.
[00:27:41] I really can see that.
[00:27:44] And I really like to be in a certain type of spot and we will see.
[00:27:54] Is PianoTech worth the money?
[00:27:56] Is it not cheap?
[00:27:58] It is not cheap and I think about to buy it.
[00:28:01] I think there's a very small, small version where you can start and then you can upgrade
[00:28:09] later exactly like how it is with Bitwig.
[00:28:13] For me, it's actually worth it because I don't have that many samples on the hard drive
[00:28:18] and I am not this kind of piano aficionado, right?
[00:28:25] So I'm kind of okay with the sound.
[00:28:28] It doesn't sound like a real piano with the right room and all the texture on top and
[00:28:33] so on.
[00:28:34] But at the same time if you download these contact pianos, it's a lot of space on the
[00:28:40] hard drive.
[00:28:42] For me, it's perfectly nice.
[00:28:44] I like it.
[00:28:47] And you can also tweak it a lot, right?
[00:28:49] There are some settings in there.
[00:28:51] I haven't explored this actually.
[00:28:56] I think you can edit here each note.
[00:28:59] So you have like a micro pitch stuff in there.
[00:29:06] Can I resize this here?
[00:29:17] I can make it old so you can tweak a lot of things in here.
[00:29:26] What devices would you like to see improved other than the sampler?
[00:29:38] Yeah, the sampler would be nice and yeah, the grid, it's actually only in the grid
[00:29:44] for me.
[00:29:46] Everything that you have in Bitwig right now, it looks like to me just an simpler interface
[00:29:52] to what we can do in the grid already.
[00:29:57] So I could easily, probably easily reduce everything just to the grid for me and just
[00:30:07] work only with the grid.
[00:30:08] So yeah, the grid would be nice to have an update to that, a bigger update, not just
[00:30:13] a module.
[00:30:19] Do it like Aria at home.
[00:30:21] You mean walking through Berlin with a big speaker pack and then playing with random
[00:30:27] people?
[00:30:28] Oh, you need a lot of confidence for that, I guess.
[00:30:36] Also with ambient, it could be a bit boring to walk around Berlin and then just doing
[00:30:42] ambient stuff or jump, you know, jump base could be nice, yeah.
[00:30:51] I'm way too introvert for that.
[00:31:01] You provide a lot of value for the Bitwig community, yeah, thanks man.
[00:31:11] What's your favorite chord software?
[00:31:13] Oh, I don't use any of that to be honest.
[00:31:16] I really like just having just using the basic tools of Bitwig here, a multi-note and then
[00:31:26] maybe a diatonic transposer or key filter, that's how it's called.
[00:31:32] And then you just put the chords into this key filter and it corrects it to the right
[00:31:37] thing.
[00:31:38] So, for me, this is pretty dope to actually create something on the spot out of nowhere
[00:31:47] and then you just record it into a note clip and then you can make some adjustments to
[00:31:52] the notes and this is probably the best and the easiest way.
[00:31:57] So something like scale is way too complicated for me.
[00:32:01] It feels like I make stuff that's not that complicated, more complicated in a different
[00:32:06] way and then you have to select different things and it's more like you randomly select
[00:32:12] different chords.
[00:32:13] It makes no sense to me to work like that.
[00:32:17] So most chords software is actually not for me and this is all I need, more or less.
[00:32:28] Go to Berkheim.
[00:32:30] They don't let me in.
[00:32:32] I'm too old.
[00:32:34] I'm too old and not too not dressed enough.
[00:32:45] Are you going to Super Booth next year?
[00:32:47] Yes, I'm going.
[00:32:49] This year I was actually there two days, for two days, it was pretty dope and it was pretty
[00:32:57] exhausting to talk to everyone.
[00:33:01] It's fun, interesting, exciting but it's also very exhausting and you feel it in the evening.
[00:33:23] Have you tried Cthulhu?
[00:33:25] Yes.
[00:33:26] It's a really cool device, you have it installed.
[00:33:33] Yes.
[00:33:34] So yeah, you can do here something like this, we have a chord with five notes and you can
[00:33:41] say I want to have here the lowest note and then the third lowest note or the second lowest
[00:33:47] note and so on and then you can make out of this chord a nice sequence which is really
[00:33:53] nice.
[00:33:54] I wish we had this in Bitwig and I also made a feature request 20 years ago about this
[00:34:01] but no one wants to hear me.
[00:34:03] It's the only plug-in that does this.
[00:34:06] Maybe this other plug-in, what's the name, blue or anything blue?
[00:34:11] Something with blue.
[00:34:12] I think it's even the open source of where it does something like this here.
[00:34:15] So in Bitwig we have only here right up and down or down up, stuff like this but here you
[00:34:21] can just select the incoming notes based on their position.
[00:34:34] Blue SRP, yes, this was the name.
[00:34:42] Got that new BLEASE ARP thing for free, I need to try out all the new BLEASE plug-ins,
[00:34:49] maybe I do a video on these but I can't keep up with all the updates to be honest, stuff
[00:34:56] that comes out at the moment.
[00:34:58] My focus is on Bitwig 6 of course, that's the biggest release and I will be busy to make
[00:35:06] videos about all the new stuff.
[00:35:11] So I want to make a video on BLEASE for sure because I know it's in the BLEASE circle thing
[00:35:18] I always want to say BLEASE but it's all but it's BLEASE, it's EON ARP, I know this
[00:35:40] one too, what I stuck with this one here for some reason, I really like to have this one
[00:35:45] here, is Cthulhu actually free, I can't remember, it costs money right, it's a small fee.
[00:36:04] The note in channel select is really broken at the moment, what do you mean, in the grid?
[00:36:14] I stopped using any VSTs or plug-ins in 2010, that's nice, nice to hear.
[00:36:19] So you're basically only Eurorack and Modular based, I mean there's so much Modular stuff
[00:36:27] out there, if you have Bitwig, just Bitwig alone with the grid, you can do basically
[00:36:32] everything, the only downside is maybe the interface that you have specialized interface
[00:36:39] for certain type of workflows that are better in VSTs, but you can get, I would say 80%
[00:36:47] of the way you can get there with the grid.
[00:36:51] So also if you just install, what's the name, Eurorack software here, VCV, there's so much
[00:37:04] variety and options you have nowadays to create music and all, some of this stuff is for free,
[00:37:13] it's impossible.
[00:37:15] And I think that's probably part of the problem of many people, because you have so many options,
[00:37:20] they don't know what to choose and what to, what's actually right for them, you have to
[00:37:27] try out everything and then you settle with something.
[00:37:30] But then you're actually never sure, maybe I'm missing something, if I don't use Logic,
[00:37:36] then they buy Logic and then they use Logic and say, oh, it's actually, they got an Ableton,
[00:37:41] then they go back to Ableton because they like certain stuff in Ableton, then they switch
[00:37:44] over to Bitwig and everything is modular and fine and happy and so they switch all the
[00:37:51] time between all the different software things and then they never actually really settle
[00:37:56] with something or they never actually learn something to the full extent, but it's very
[00:38:04] difficult.
[00:38:05] Today you had no, not many options.
[00:38:15] Cardinal is also Clap-In.
[00:38:16] Yeah, it's basically a VCV rack combined with an opinionated bunch of modules, something
[00:38:23] like that and then it's open sourced.
[00:38:26] Yeah, there's something wrong in the grid with the channel selector or something.
[00:38:34] What's the guestnet on?
[00:38:39] Nice name, by the way.
[00:38:41] There's something.
[00:38:42] I know that, maybe I should write more bug requests, but I'm busy all the day.
[00:38:53] Usually when something happens to me in Bitwig, I say, oh shit, I restarted and then I just
[00:38:57] continue working.
[00:39:08] I've been collecting VSTs and samples since the early 2000 and it's cool having so much,
[00:39:14] but sometimes overwhelming and just try to use native Bitwig.
[00:39:17] Yeah, that's a good way of getting down to the bottom, right?
[00:39:23] That's the thing what I need to do to make actually something happen instead of just
[00:39:29] putting on 20, 30 plug-ins and then something randomly comes out.
[00:39:35] I think last week or two days ago or yesterday, yesterday in the chat of OpenDAR, I said something
[00:39:45] like this, today you just put 200 plug-ins on it in a chain, right?
[00:39:50] Just to be creative or to have some random outcome and then you have a random sound effect,
[00:39:56] a random sound coming out of that, but you have 200 plug-ins and you don't know what
[00:40:02] happens basically in the process chain all the time.
[00:40:06] But you could theoretically just analyze the input signal and the output signal and then
[00:40:13] just compare these two and say, oh, actually the dynamics changed here and maybe this is
[00:40:18] a saturation or transfer curve looks like this and the EQ curve or the spectrum looks
[00:40:25] like this on the input and the output and then just make a match thing, right?
[00:40:29] So the match the input and the output with the dynamics and with the spectrum and then
[00:40:33] you can just put everything in the middle, all these 20 plug-ins you just put in a way
[00:40:39] and you still have the same output because you just analyzed what's different.
[00:40:44] And I don't know why something like this is not existing on the market because you could
[00:40:49] just optimize your chains to zero ZPU time.
[00:40:59] Okay, let's see.
[00:41:04] Looks like the stream is running great, yes, maybe I should, actually when I put my face
[00:41:11] on the screen, you can't see the chat.
[00:41:30] I really wish there was some kind of software also thought about developing something like
[00:41:35] this where you have an input and output system.
[00:41:38] So let's say you have a sample, that's actually what I want to have as a VST plug-in.
[00:41:45] You have a sample and you put the sample in and that's a sound that you really like,
[00:41:49] but you want to replicate it as a synthesizer patch, right?
[00:41:55] So why not is there an AI that analyzes the sample and just matches randomly, learns how
[00:42:01] the VST or how the synthesizer works and then changes all the settings so you have roughly
[00:42:08] what the sample sounds like.
[00:42:10] So we have something like this with, what's the name, synth plant, so you can drag a sample
[00:42:29] in here and the background, it's just a kind of a simple three oscillators synthesizer,
[00:42:38] FM synthesizer and then they figure out what to do with these FM or with these oscillators
[00:42:45] so it sounds exactly like the sample.
[00:42:48] This would be nice to have for Bitwig, for instance, Polymer, right?
[00:42:54] And it's okay if it's not 100% or 1000% exactly the same sound, it's okay when it goes in
[00:43:01] just into the right direction.
[00:43:04] This would be nice to have.
[00:43:07] Isn't kick 3 supposed to have such feature?
[00:43:10] Kind of, they analyze just the pitch drop more or less, they use the sample, they make
[00:43:14] the cut in the middle so they separate basically the bottom of the kick and the top of the
[00:43:19] kick, the top is basically a sample and the low end is a pitch drop then realized with
[00:43:26] a sine oscillator.
[00:43:28] So kind of, but it doesn't work for complex sounds or synth sounds or strings or real
[00:43:38] life sounds.
[00:43:43] Do you know why Bitwig opens beta only for those with live subscription and not for the
[00:43:52] ones with the license?
[00:43:55] The stem motivates people or Bitwig users for a long time and want to try new features,
[00:44:00] let me know.
[00:44:01] I don't know if it's, is it not actually possible to use it in demo mode, the beta?
[00:44:09] I'm not sure.
[00:44:10] Let's try this out, so I don't know.
[00:44:14] So yeah, I can't say, I don't know what the reasons behind this is, it's just, it's just
[00:44:19] how it is.
[00:44:30] Backbone by Steinberg has a weird generator feel since this thing, not sure if similar.
[00:44:35] Backbone, yeah, it's kind of an AI thing, diffusion model, I guess.
[00:44:40] What I found like that most of these drums or these AI drum generators are sounding kind
[00:44:48] of not good because the quality is so low or the resolution is so low, it always sounds
[00:44:54] like a 64 kilo, kilo bit mp3 to me and it could be nice to have some to use it actually
[00:45:03] as a layer on top of something else, but I never was quite happy with the AI generators,
[00:45:10] to be honest.
[00:45:11] I tried out a few.
[00:45:27] Is he hinting that we get Simplan 2 in the upgrade?
[00:45:30] No, no, no, no.
[00:45:32] That's just my, these are just my weird ideas, okay, I have my own feature requests, no one
[00:45:38] wants to listen to.
[00:45:44] It's probably also not smart from a, from a company or standpoint to make things that
[00:45:54] could kill a lot of options for you in the future to release stuff, right?
[00:46:00] So I'm always trying to get some, get rid of stuff.
[00:46:05] I want to have stuff very easy and straightforward, but it's maybe not a good plan in the current
[00:46:12] capitalistic system that we have, where we need to make money all the time from nothing.
[00:46:29] Dennis Chinkovich, danke, danke, kommt an, fit sich gut an, ich hab's gelesen.
[00:46:36] Doesn't FL Studio have some kind of reason, this is a thing, yeah, I think it's called
[00:46:43] Harmer or something like this.
[00:46:47] It's a Spectra-based, I think, Spectra-based, additive synth or something like this.
[00:46:59] The thing is, you can replicate the sound with additive synthesis pretty easily, but
[00:47:07] when you think about it, if you have a synthesizer with additive, or additive synthesizer, you
[00:47:14] have to also save a lot of data.
[00:47:17] And when you have to save a lot of data, you can just save the WAV file.
[00:47:21] And you have a 100% replication, basically, which is the WAV file itself.
[00:47:26] What you want to have is actually a simpler synthesizer, something like an FM synthesizer,
[00:47:31] and then come up with methods of interacting different oscillators, maybe three oscillators
[00:47:40] to create a similar sound.
[00:47:41] And it's very hard to create with FM synthesis certain sounds, but you can maybe do it with
[00:47:47] AI, they can figure this out.
[00:47:51] One trillion iterations of different settings and combinations of stuff, and AI can figure
[00:47:57] this out.
[00:47:58] It's basically machine learning, or it is machine learning.
[00:48:05] What means the paperclip in the beta announcement pic?
[00:48:08] I can't tell you.
[00:48:14] Tell us your feature requests.
[00:48:15] Yeah, I kind of said it already, the grid.
[00:48:19] Some grid modules are extending the grid, making interface designer for that so I can
[00:48:25] make devices inside of the grid, which I really like, and I really love the grid for that,
[00:48:30] but I want to make it more simpler for other people, right?
[00:48:33] So they can open up a device that looks like polymer here, and they can interact with just
[00:48:38] the important devices or the important things I want to show them to you.
[00:48:42] So interface designer would be great, or something like I just said here with the replication
[00:48:49] that you can drag in a sample, and you have a synthesizer that figures out why I'm machine
[00:48:54] learning, how to set all the parameters, all the oscillators to create some kind of similar
[00:49:00] sound.
[00:49:12] Of topics, can you draw a separate, would be curious about your thoughts about it?
[00:49:17] Yeah, I try to use separate, but it's a good synthesizer.
[00:49:25] It's not a bad synthesizer, but for me it's too way too theoretically, it's not fun to
[00:49:34] use for me in a certain way, but it's a very powerful synthesizer and it sounds very good.
[00:49:42] But I have to try it, I have to try it, but I think when I tried to better back then,
[00:49:47] I found that there was a missed opportunity in re-synthesizing sounds to figure out what's
[00:49:57] going on inside of the sound when you have a piano, right?
[00:50:01] Something happens with different velocity settings, something happens when you change
[00:50:04] the key.
[00:50:06] So I wanted to have more like tools for getting out formants or static frequencies and some
[00:50:14] analyzes stuff where you can analyze, oh this actually happens when you change the velocity
[00:50:19] and then you recreate piano sounds and so on.
[00:50:21] I think there's some missed stuff opportunities that people leave out all the time when they
[00:50:28] make software or synthesizers, because usually you just want to recreate a lot of things
[00:50:35] and then you want to change it.
[00:50:38] Usually when people ask me they say oh I want to recreate this sound, I heard it in that
[00:50:42] song, I want to have exactly this sound, right?
[00:50:45] And then you want to tweak it and make it your own or something like this, that's usually
[00:50:49] what people want.
[00:50:52] Also when you create a sound from scratch, you have something in mind, right, something
[00:50:57] that you want to do and then you try to recreate it and then you have a different outcome and
[00:51:02] then you say okay, I'm fine with it.
[00:51:12] I'm not leaking.
[00:51:14] It's okay, funny when Pallori says something separate, it feels too complex to him.
[00:51:34] Yeah it's not like that I don't get it how it works, it's more like when I make music
[00:51:40] I just want to be, I just want to make music in a way, right?
[00:51:46] The grid I get it, also when I make music then I don't usually dive into the grid and
[00:51:52] make a big grid patch only when I make generative music, but I just want to use the sound.
[00:51:58] I want to have this space sound, right, and I want to have it as quickly as possible.
[00:52:10] No video module please, not again.
[00:52:13] Video module what do you mean?
[00:52:23] You know what would be amazing is a way to temporarily rearrange the device panel and
[00:52:27] make it full screen.
[00:52:29] This one here, the device chain, yeah I thought about this too exactly when the grid came
[00:52:34] out, I thought maybe you can get rid of the chain altogether and just make it the grid,
[00:52:40] right?
[00:52:41] So when you open this up instead of having here, I don't know, let's do a new one instrument
[00:52:49] track, right?
[00:52:50] It's empty and then you see the grid in here and then you can just connect certain devices
[00:52:59] in here to have a generative patch here that you can play.
[00:53:10] I remember this, yeah I had a headache this day.
[00:53:16] So instead of having this here, you have it, you have this down here, I can hide this.
[00:53:25] There's something like this, right?
[00:53:31] And then you can just drag in some VSTs and you have a VST interface here.
[00:53:37] Could be dope too, maybe too complex, I don't know.
[00:53:41] But this is the idea I had when they released the grid back then.
[00:53:47] Do we have a lot of mosquitoes?
[00:53:56] It's insane here, but no, not at all, not here in my place.
[00:54:07] Some drum bass, I have some drum bass here.
[00:54:09] Usually when I do drum bass on the stream, people switch away.
[00:54:13] The thing is with different styles and the reason why I do a lot of ambient or kind of
[00:54:20] ambient stuff, it's melodic, you can have it in the background, right?
[00:54:24] It's easy to listen to and it's great stream content and I also enjoy doing it.
[00:54:29] It's not hard for me.
[00:54:31] But the drum bass, the problem is it's so heavily sound-based or sound design-based,
[00:54:39] also with dubstep and so on, you have to fiddle around on the snare drum for an hour until
[00:54:45] I'm happy.
[00:54:46] I have to fiddle around on the kick drum.
[00:54:47] The kick drum has to match the bass sound and I have to match the bass and fiddle around
[00:54:52] on the bass sound and so on.
[00:54:55] And it's usually not that pleasant to watch in my opinion and I also have to be very focused
[00:55:04] on stuff.
[00:55:06] Wait a minute, I do hear the volume, I go down the volume a bit.
[00:55:13] It's a lot of automation here.
[00:55:17] By the way, most of these automation here is just recorded.
[00:55:21] It's not drawn in.
[00:55:22] You can see this here, I just do this thing, I did a video on that.
[00:55:26] I just hit here record, I have this on my keyboard, you can see here, it's very fast
[00:55:32] for me.
[00:55:33] Wait this, draw in some knobs and then go out of the automation.
[00:55:38] And it's so easy, so fun to do, to automate stuff this way instead of drawing something
[00:55:43] in.
[00:55:44] Oh, this is loud.
[00:56:06] Can you hear this?
[00:56:17] How long does it take you to finish a track?
[00:56:24] Usually not long, but at the moment I'm in a certain, in a weird spot, I'm in a weird
[00:56:33] spot.
[00:56:34] I can't finish, I don't want to finish actually stuff when I'm not happy with how it is.
[00:56:40] And I'm always finding something that I'm not happy with for some reason.
[00:56:46] So I just don't finish it in a way.
[00:56:50] So this track here, I could say that's it, right?
[00:56:55] I make it, how long is it actually, five minutes, four minutes?
[00:56:59] No, only three minutes.
[00:57:00] So I just double this, right?
[00:57:03] And then I make some tweaks here and there, some fade-ins and I'm calling it the day.
[00:57:07] But I'm personally not really happy with it.
[00:57:10] I just, I don't know, maybe I'm too, too headed at the moment, so it takes a long time at the
[00:57:16] moment.
[00:57:17] I mean, I'm in a weird spot.
[00:57:23] I'm also currently bouncing a lot of stuff.
[00:57:26] I didn't do this before.
[00:57:27] I had all of the sounds live.
[00:57:30] The only live thing here is the main bass, this one here, which is just a phase four
[00:57:37] as always, a lot of stuff here on the top end.
[00:57:43] You can see here, this is just done via recording.
[00:57:48] I just record the movement, basically what I do in the EQ and just leave it at that.
[00:57:53] Then at some point I thought, actually the movement I don't like and then I put a low
[00:57:57] pass on it, here, here.
[00:58:03] Yeah, I don't know.
[00:58:12] So I'm feeling a lot of, a lot of time goes into feeling around with this stuff.
[00:58:22] I also try to figure out stuff if I want to use AI in my music, right?
[00:58:30] I'm not a big fan of prompt generating prompt music with prompts to type it in and then you
[00:58:37] get something out of it.
[00:58:39] That's not the cool way of making music, in my opinion.
[00:58:42] And I think this is the biggest part what people don't like of AI that you type in a
[00:58:48] prompt and you get something out of it.
[00:58:50] But I think there's still a cool way of combining different things, let me use this one here.
[00:59:00] Combining AI, it's like you have a partner, right?
[00:59:03] You create something and then you send something to the AI and the AI adds something to it
[00:59:09] and then you say, oh, well, this is actually a great direction.
[00:59:12] Let's go into this direction or maybe twist it in a certain way.
[00:59:17] So this could be something.
[00:59:19] So here I have some top layers made by AI and basically all the rest is to place basically
[00:59:35] a piano on top, right, and after drums and after bass.
[01:00:04] And yeah, you can get around certain limitations because AI stuff usually sounds very low,
[01:00:13] low resolution type of thing, right?
[01:00:17] It's not really, it sounds really not really good.
[01:00:21] But when you put a lot of reverb on it and some phasers and edit the stuff out, you can
[01:00:26] get something out of it.
[01:00:27] And I just experimenting with this if I want to do actually something like this because
[01:00:34] I usually don't even use presets, right?
[01:00:39] I do everything from scratch all the time and I'm questioning myself basically there.
[01:00:47] This is actually something I want to do.
[01:00:49] When I use presets usually with the pad sounds, bass sounds, drum sounds and so on, at the
[01:00:56] end it doesn't feel like it's mine.
[01:00:59] I'm okay with other people doing it, right?
[01:01:02] It's not like I'm blaming other people.
[01:01:04] It's completely fine to do this.
[01:01:06] But for me, for myself, when I listen to this music later on, can I feel like still this
[01:01:14] is something I did, is it something I did or is it something from someone else, right?
[01:01:20] So this is what I try to figure out.
[01:01:23] So I try to question myself actually to make everything from scratch all the time.
[01:01:32] But it's fun both ways.
[01:01:37] 90% of the presets are unusable.
[01:01:40] Yeah, I guess for some people it's a great way to get started, to have something going.
[01:01:51] It also depends on the music I would say.
[01:01:54] So let's say you make drum bass or dubstep.
[01:01:56] Dubstep is it's heavily based on sound design.
[01:02:02] So the sound design is everything.
[01:02:04] If you take sound design away from drum bass and dubstep, you are left with some very,
[01:02:11] very boring music, just one note, maybe a second note, maybe a break here, a break there.
[01:02:18] But 80% of the music of drum bass or dubstep is actually sound design.
[01:02:23] So when you use a preset there for a sound, it has a big impact, right?
[01:02:29] But if you do pop music or if you do, I don't know, something else, where the music or the
[01:02:36] notes is actually more important than, yeah, it's maybe not that bad.
[01:02:44] But I would say most presets that you can hear in these big synths that you can buy,
[01:02:52] these presets are just made to show off what the plug-in can do.
[01:02:56] It's not made for you to use it in a track.
[01:03:04] I think what's the name, what's the synth name with these a lot of presets, a lot of
[01:03:11] people use, Sphere, Sonosphere, Spectro-Spectro-Spectro-Sphere, something like this.
[01:03:22] You know what I mean.
[01:03:23] They have like Omnisphere, exactly.
[01:03:26] They have, I don't know, 20,000 presets in there and they're all tweaked like so you
[01:03:32] can use it in your track.
[01:03:33] They are ready for production.
[01:03:36] And also when you use something like Triton, most of these sounds are actually not, they
[01:03:44] don't push themselves into the foreground.
[01:03:46] They are more like bread and butter presets, but you can use them, just use them and you
[01:03:52] can make a track out of nowhere.
[01:03:54] So it heavily depends on the plug-in or on the VST.
[01:04:01] So some VST vendors are just using presets to show off, right, this is something you
[01:04:07] can do with the plug-in, but it's not made for production or for music production, actually.
[01:04:18] Omni-Verse is a multiverse of Omnisphere synths, yeah.
[01:04:24] I'm going to bed early tonight because of the release tomorrow.
[01:04:28] Anyway, have a good night.
[01:04:30] Instead, you need your track to match the preset, yeah, for the presets sometime.
[01:04:56] Yeah, it's hit or miss with the presets.
[01:04:58] You need to have some really good sound design, guys, if you want to make good presets, maybe
[01:05:05] a bunch of presets for showing off, for the demos, right, where people say in the YouTube
[01:05:10] or when they see the YouTube demo, "Wow, this is a great sound," right, and some sounds
[01:05:16] that are more, more tamed down, more subtle for daily work, for daily production.
[01:05:24] So sometimes you have plug-ins like VSTs and you open this up and you want to, you just
[01:05:29] want to have a normal, a straight normal bass sound that works, right, and you can't find
[01:05:35] this preset.
[01:05:36] Everything is like over the top and too much.
[01:05:41] I've been there multiple times, yeah.
[01:05:51] I remember when everyone was using Silent, it made me like allergic to its sound like
[01:05:55] I tried it and it felt like it was just someone else's stuff when I played it.
[01:05:59] Yeah, it's also with certain music styles, right, when you have like PsyTrends.
[01:06:05] So every PsyTrends song for me sounds like exactly the same.
[01:06:08] If you have the right sounds, you sound exactly like that and probably everyone wants to sound
[01:06:14] like everyone else.
[01:06:16] It's just part of the game, also with styles.
[01:06:21] So sometimes these genres die out because everyone sounds the same, right?
[01:06:26] And then someone tries to do something completely new and breaks up the whole genre and then
[01:06:32] people say, "This is not drum and bass," or, "This is not PsyTrends, this is something
[01:06:36] else," and then a new sub-genre is born.
[01:06:40] Oh, thanks for the subs-- thanks for the following.
[01:06:42] I actually don't see this here, I have no alerts.
[01:06:46] So yeah, it's like this whole internet thing, right, where you have something new and people
[01:06:53] say, "This is not that," and then you do exactly like that and then people say, "Oh,
[01:06:57] it sounds like everything else."
[01:06:59] And the best thing you can do is actually don't listen to feedback at all.
[01:07:04] Also beginners, just make music and have fun, right?
[01:07:08] You also see this here when YouTube streamers do feedback rounds or feedback streams, I'm
[01:07:15] not sure about this.
[01:07:16] I get it from a creator standpoint, you get a lot of viewers and interaction, but at the
[01:07:23] same time, some beginners don't need to hear feedback.
[01:07:29] Just good job, just continue making it, have fun, you're on the right path, and that's
[01:07:36] all you need to hear sometimes, right?
[01:07:38] And also from the music producer standpoint, I get it, you want to have people listen to
[01:07:45] your music, you want to have people reacting to it, right?
[01:07:50] And you want to hear, of course, that you are the best producer in the world, I get it.
[01:07:55] There's something else that I can listen to.
[01:08:11] I made a track here with the guy, he wrote me on Discord and said, "I'm a bass player."
[01:08:22] I said, "That's nice," and then he sent me, I don't know, 500 or 1,000 tracks he made
[01:08:27] and never released.
[01:08:30] And they all sounded really nice, and I thought, "Just send me over some bass guitar riffs,"
[01:08:36] and then I tried to make a drum bass tune out of it, right?
[01:08:40] This is here, this is the thing.
[01:08:43] There are a lot of tracks in here.
[01:08:46] I didn't know in the beginning where to go with this, and I just tried multiple things,
[01:08:51] changed everything.
[01:08:53] Yeah, Bitmap, you are the best.
[01:09:09] You heard it here first, you're the best man.
[01:09:11] So third place.
[01:09:40] And I just tried to let the bass here in, so it's not doubled with a synth bass.
[01:09:45] It's just a pure bass sound from the guitar, right?
[01:09:49] I think I stretched it a bit, yeah, I aligned it here, because when you have these straight
[01:09:56] drums on top, it doesn't match really, but I tried to keep it as pure as possible without
[01:10:03] layering something below it.
[01:10:06] And then I just made it loud as fuck.
[01:10:24] So, my idea was basically, I just play my synth bass, and then I switch to the other
[01:10:54] funk bass, right?
[01:10:55] So I mix in this, instead of layering on top, I just made the time separation there.
[01:11:02] And I think it works the best.
[01:11:09] That's me, catching a breath.
[01:11:33] I'll switch there.
[01:12:01] Also here, I'll be here to strike, I basically sent him the switch here without the guitar,
[01:12:19] just this one here, is this not this one?
[01:12:25] Yeah, then I mute it, and you play basically something on top just to match this bass line,
[01:12:33] yeah?
[01:12:34] Which is pretty great, we have.
[01:12:36] If you have a studio musician at your place, that's so great, you just say, hey, play me,
[01:12:44] just play me a part, play a piano part, play this, maybe a bass line, or your string player,
[01:12:49] play me some parts over this, right?
[01:12:51] And you have this track finished in no time.
[01:12:54] But if you're just alone, like me, you have to download some stupid sample library, right?
[01:13:00] And then I figure out how to actually make it sound real.
[01:13:04] But if you have the money, if you have the studio, if you have the studio musicians, you
[01:13:09] have a song finished in no time, probably.
[01:13:17] It's so compressed, oh, 5.5, okay, look at this.
[01:13:34] And yeah, by the way, for the ducking here, I'm just using
[01:14:04] the Spectral Compressor, almost in audio rate mode here, 0ms attack, 5ms release time.
[01:14:16] And someone mentioned it in the chat here, the new kilohertz plug-in, I tried it out,
[01:14:23] but for me it's actually, I can do this in Bitwig without using a plug-in at all.
[01:14:28] I think I showed it back when all these people tried to do this kind of ring sidechain modulation,
[01:14:39] the new trendy thing everyone needs to do, because it's the only way of sidechaining,
[01:14:43] of course, because it's precise.
[01:14:48] What's the name?
[01:14:49] Compactor?
[01:14:50] Is it Compactor?
[01:14:51] Yeah, this one here.
[01:14:54] Then, so here with this, I need to have the kick drum.
[01:14:57] But I have no kick drum, I have basically here a drum loop, with the kick and the snare.
[01:15:02] So it's already a problem, I have to separate basically the kick drum now here, if I don't
[01:15:08] want to use the snare drum in the ducking process.
[01:15:13] But here with the Spectral Compressor, with this one, I can match and choose, right, I
[01:15:19] can kick, kick basically ducks the bass and the snare or the snare clap on top, ducks
[01:15:29] here at the top and the bit.
[01:15:32] And it's perfect.
[01:15:33] And with the Compactor, it's basically a full-range ducker.
[01:15:36] You duck always the full spectrum all the time, which is not what I want all the time.
[01:15:44] Sometimes I want that.
[01:15:46] And if I want to have this, I can just use a tool device here and use an audio rate modulator
[01:15:54] and just get here in that drums, main drums, right, I get them basically here, the drums.
[01:16:04] Bring this down.
[01:16:10] Right, I have here then the kick drum, and then I say I want to rectify this thing.
[01:16:19] And if you watch the original ring sidechain modulation creator guy, he used basically
[01:16:24] three plug-ins already for this rectifying stuff here.
[01:16:27] So we want to have the middle channel, we want to rectify the signal, so everything
[01:16:31] is positive, and then you just pull down the volume without your rate.
[01:16:41] And then you can smooth it out here with a low pass on the main drums input.
[01:16:56] So that's more or less the same thing as using the Compactor.
[01:17:00] Maybe there is some DSP stuff in here that's, you know, I know people like to have high
[01:17:05] precision for some reason, it's always beginners.
[01:17:08] They want to have high precision and they, you know, it's not the same.
[01:17:12] They make null tests and this is not the same as using this.
[01:17:16] And so they, so yeah, but for me, I just, I'm just fine using here, audio rate or using
[01:17:24] spectral compression.
[01:17:26] Um, yeah.
[01:17:28] So in Bitwig, it's very easy.
[01:17:30] Just use the audio rate modulator, use rectify, use the middle channel, pull down the volume
[01:17:34] and you're done.
[01:17:35] And smoothing out here with the low pass, done.
[01:17:40] Um, yeah.
[01:17:42] Hey, state.
[01:17:46] Good to see your live, man.
[01:17:47] You should start doing it more often again.
[01:17:49] Yeah, that's maybe, that's maybe true.
[01:17:52] But at some point I felt like I do the same thing.
[01:17:56] It's probably, it's probably okay to do the same thing over and over.
[01:18:06] Maybe I'm in a creative hole or something like this, but I'm slowly crawling out.
[01:18:20] Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep.
[01:18:31] What's wrong with the using the audio section, nothing, nothing.
[01:18:35] It's completely fine.
[01:18:36] It's just, uh, some people are, you know, big producer X uses that and says it's the
[01:18:43] best way and then everyone has to use it.
[01:18:45] It's just how things work on the internet.
[01:18:47] Um, for me, it's perfectly fine and, um, I'm okay with it.
[01:18:54] Um, and you probably ask why I'm using this one here.
[01:18:59] Um, I try to use everything at least once or multiple times and try to incorporate it
[01:19:05] into my production so I can talk about it and say, this is actually a bad way of doing
[01:19:09] something or this is a good way of doing something.
[01:19:11] So gaining some experiences with different, um, workflows here and there.
[01:19:17] That's kind of interesting.
[01:19:19] Hey, stay, thanks, man.
[01:19:22] Big thanks.
[01:19:23] 50 pounds.
[01:19:26] This is probably five euros.
[01:19:29] No, thanks, man.
[01:19:33] Tomorrow, tomorrow is, is the day.
[01:19:43] I wanted, I wanted to make a video also about this at some point, but I always forget about
[01:20:05] it and it's, then I think it's actually not worth it to talk about it.
[01:20:09] But usually, uh, man, not woman, I mean, man, usually man always try to solve problems with
[01:20:18] a lot of power and technique, a lot of technical solutions, right?
[01:20:27] Instead of feeling something or trying to just, just tackle a problem in a, in a, in
[01:20:33] a different direction or something like this.
[01:20:35] So it's always, um, yeah.
[01:20:39] So when there's a problem coming up, people just try, oh, I need to buy more gear or I
[01:20:44] need a different synthesizer.
[01:20:47] That's the big problem my music has.
[01:20:49] I need more synthesizers or I need to Eurorack.
[01:20:52] That's the problem.
[01:20:53] I'm sitting in front of a PC.
[01:20:55] Of course my music is bad.
[01:20:57] I need Eurorack or something, you know, this is sort of the thinking process, I guess, uh,
[01:21:04] we all have, but, um, and it's, it's the same for, it's, it's the same for me too.
[01:21:10] It's not like I'm, I'm special or anything like this.
[01:21:14] That's, um, of course we all have probably the same thoughts at some point in our lives.
[01:21:22] Hey, Steve.
[01:21:30] Thanks for tuning in.
[01:21:35] Ableton should be able to do the same thing.
[01:21:38] Um, you can do today pretty much everything and everything.
[01:21:44] It's just a question of if you like it, how it looks like, or if you like the workflow
[01:21:51] or, but the nuances are so small.
[01:22:01] I think at some point I talked about a gaming system in Bitwig.
[01:22:04] This would be nice.
[01:22:06] Um, so you switch on the gaming system and then everything is just taken away from you
[01:22:13] or the devices.
[01:22:15] And then you have to make music just with a sampler and maybe one EQ and then you have
[01:22:19] to make a test or make a, you know, an AI is inside of Bitwig and says, Oh, it's, it's
[01:22:26] okay.
[01:22:27] We did a good job.
[01:22:28] You're on level two.
[01:22:29] On level two, you get the compressor, right?
[01:22:30] And then you have to make music only with the compressor, EQ and the sampler.
[01:22:35] So you basically are limited in the beginning and then you have to learn all the different
[01:22:41] things in a very specific order and then, um, yeah.
[01:22:47] So you have, um, more focused learning, a focused learning experience and also a gaming
[01:22:54] system where you, I think there's this one game where you can learn Eurorack, um, patching
[01:23:01] signal state or something like this on steam.
[01:23:06] This would reverse basically, um, a digital audio workstation or a music application and
[01:23:11] there's a gaming system included instead of a game that has, that can make music would
[01:23:21] be a good way to learn the grid.
[01:23:23] Yeah, exactly.
[01:23:25] Just a few modules, a few important ones to, to limit basically limit your options and
[01:23:32] then, uh, you have a easier, much easier learning experience overall and just makes you focus
[01:23:40] on important things first instead of, oh, what kind of mastering plug-in do I need?
[01:23:48] Uh, or what kind of compressor do I need?
[01:23:51] Do I need to buy this or this is actually currently on sale.
[01:23:54] I have to buy this because everyone uses it.
[01:23:57] So I have to, to tutorial mode, yeah, that's a good name.
[01:24:16] I think Bitwig is a very good place already for that because it's the best, uh, digital
[01:24:22] audio workstation that you can get, uh, to learn, uh, from, to learn actually from the
[01:24:29] ground up because you have the grid and because there are so many thoughts going into what
[01:24:36] these devices do and how everything looks like.
[01:24:39] Um, also here with the, uh, the help system, right?
[01:24:45] It shows you exactly.
[01:24:46] I mean, I mean, there could be more explanation here, um, but there are some missed or empty
[01:24:57] spaces where a bit we could evolve more into, right, to explain people.
[01:25:02] That's important.
[01:25:04] Start with this.
[01:25:05] I think this is what people sometimes missed from the manual and I know the manual doesn't
[01:25:11] have to give you that the manual is actually just this is device.
[01:25:15] Here are the knobs, these knobs doing this and that.
[01:25:19] And if you patch this and that, uh, you know, but what people really want to know is they
[01:25:26] want to open up the manual and then they want to know how to make a reverb, how to make
[01:25:30] a compressor, how to make this and that, right?
[01:25:32] Why do I have to this?
[01:25:34] So they need more like guidance, um, producer guidance, which is not the, um, it's not something
[01:25:42] the manual has to deliver more or less, but this is what people want.
[01:25:48] And there are some space there where people could maybe go into making it a good door
[01:25:58] for beginners to learn, actually make music because it's really healthy to be creative.
[01:26:05] That's my opinion.
[01:26:08] What are the sins you use most?
[01:26:09] Oh, pretty basic.
[01:26:11] I use most of the times just a phase four and the polymer synthesizer can see your phase
[01:26:17] fours in there a lot.
[01:26:20] That's basically FM synthesizer and a polymer is then subtractive synthesizer and they give
[01:26:27] me all I need to make sounds.
[01:26:31] Um, that's, that's, that's what I use most in the grid, of course, when I need some special
[01:26:39] patches, I just liked it.
[01:26:46] If you, if you could upload the manual directly into my brain, um, yeah, but sometimes, sometimes
[01:26:56] it's not bad if you don't know everything because you make mistakes and sometimes when
[01:27:02] you make mistakes, something great comes out of it and then you have something new and
[01:27:08] we all want to have some new music.
[01:27:10] Right.
[01:27:11] We don't want to have the same music.
[01:27:12] We don't want to have, we don't want to have pop music where everything sounds the same
[01:27:16] or drum bass.
[01:27:17] Everything sounds the same.
[01:27:18] That's not what we want.
[01:27:19] Right.
[01:27:20] We want to have small little iterations that sounds maybe in a new direction where you
[01:27:26] say, oh, this is actually interesting, but it's also kind of nice.
[01:27:29] And I never heard it this way.
[01:27:31] And I hope we get there because we have AI, because AI gives you for no time investment,
[01:27:48] just a bit of money, gives you the bare average sound.
[01:27:52] If you type in pop sound, you get the average pop sound.
[01:27:56] If you type in ambient, you get the average ambient sound.
[01:28:01] And because it's so fast and the market is hopefully so fast saturated with this type
[01:28:07] of music, we have finally, people are more interested into special, weird, experimental
[01:28:16] sounds.
[01:28:17] This would be great.
[01:28:22] The better you get, the more boring your music, exactly.
[01:28:25] This is true.
[01:28:26] It's completely true.
[01:28:27] You don't know how good you make actually music if you have no idea what you do.
[01:28:34] Sometimes the most, maybe the technique, the technical side of things, you don't know how
[01:28:39] to master.
[01:28:40] Maybe it's too loud.
[01:28:41] The bass is too loud or it's clipping or, you know, it's too quiet.
[01:28:45] But you can hear sometimes in also in my earlier productions where you can, oh, this is actually
[01:28:50] not a bad idea.
[01:28:51] I was completely free of concepts.
[01:28:53] I was completely free, had no idea how scales work.
[01:28:58] I just did something that I liked.
[01:29:01] And it's something pure to that.
[01:29:05] And the longer you make music, the more you learn, the more this side is go missing, right?
[01:29:11] You are super straight, constrained in your type of thing that you did.
[01:29:20] And sometimes it's very interesting when you have like dubstep producers, they do only dubstep
[01:29:26] for 20 years.
[01:29:27] And then they, for some random reason, they try to make something different and a different
[01:29:33] style.
[01:29:34] And then you can hear, oh, this is actually, okay, this, that sounds not like this at all,
[01:29:39] but it sounds interesting.
[01:29:43] Let's hope AI doesn't become the best at niche music as well.
[01:29:46] So AI always needs a lot of music to be trained on.
[01:29:52] And then you always get kind of the average of that.
[01:29:55] So if you have outliers, bad verse outliers, you get always kind of the average from that,
[01:30:02] I would guess.
[01:30:04] So they have, you have to make a lot of weird music until it becomes popular.
[01:30:09] And then the AI can analyze it and can make the average out of it.
[01:30:13] So you're always a step ahead if you do something that not sounds anything like Suno produces
[01:30:20] at all.
[01:30:23] To have something else, I can show you here in the background.
[01:30:32] So this is something here.
[01:30:33] This is a track I have probably finished since three years, but I don't like it at all.
[01:30:40] I don't like it at all.
[01:30:42] It sounds like, um, in Germany, I say always englisch, laufende Füße.
[01:30:48] It sounds like sleeping, sleeping foods.
[01:30:53] So it's technically, I would say it's kind of perfect, but it's, it's completely boring
[01:31:01] for me at least for me.
[01:31:02] It's completely boring.
[01:31:03] Okay.
[01:31:04] And this is something here I would delete.
[01:31:07] There's so much work going into that just to make something very, very boring.
[01:31:13] And I show it to you.
[01:31:22] So in the intro, it starts with a very boring, uh, simple pet sound.
[01:31:27] I don't like it at all.
[01:31:44] So, I'm going to go ahead and play it.
[01:32:10] It's like, I needed something there that sounds different when I put in this weird sequence
[01:32:37] and by the way, also interesting on the bass, there's some kind of noise on top and I used
[01:32:55] crisp.
[01:32:58] So crisp is a plug in by Robert who also made a spectral compressor and he made this because
[01:33:05] I made a preset in Bitwig 1.0 or 2.0 and he said, this is actually a great idea and make
[01:33:11] a plug in out of this.
[01:33:12] And now I'm using the plug in, damn, full circle, maybe it's a bit too much, sorry, 2%
[01:33:32] So yeah, this is something that's completely boring and this is basically my problem.
[01:34:01] I would say all the technical stuff is okay, I wouldn't change anything, but it's just
[01:34:11] missing something, maybe it's just me, it would be okay probably to play it, to play it out.
[01:34:41] It's just polymorphs and you can see it's very basic on everything.
[01:35:10] Yeah this is basically my biggest problem, I have probably a lot of tunes that are kind
[01:35:15] of finished but it's okay, but it doesn't drive to me, it doesn't move me in a way.
[01:35:34] Guys one day left and we can finally talk about the new version of Bitwig, how great
[01:35:53] is that, we are waiting for it, Christmas is nearly here, Christmas Eve.
[01:36:22] It's probably even worse if you listen to it yourself, because you know exactly every
[01:36:33] small little decision and maybe it's just because I made it and I hear it myself, maybe
[01:36:39] that's the sign, the song is already finished and I'm over it.
[01:37:02] It's like cooking food, when you have finished you're no longer hungry, yeah, that's a good
[01:37:32] analogy I would say.
[01:37:38] It's probably also why I try or why some producers also say that you need to finish the song
[01:37:46] or the draft very quickly, because you get so bored and so annoyed if you listen to
[01:37:52] it over and over and over, right?
[01:38:22] I have trouble with the horizontal composition, I get stuck on the 8 bar loop, okay here's
[01:38:36] a small little tip that you can use, when you are finished with this 8 bar loop just
[01:38:42] make another one, okay?
[01:38:45] Just try to come up with another 8 bar loop after this 8 bar loop and then you just combine
[01:38:49] these two and when you are finished you make another one.
[01:38:54] And then when you have three you can just copy them all over the place in just like
[01:39:00] small little adjustments, filter on top, filter movements, EQ movements, a bit of reverb here
[01:39:09] and there, done.
[01:39:13] That's the best way of why not just make another 8 bar loop.
[01:39:17] If you are so into making 8 bar loops and it's no problem for you to make an 8 bar loop,
[01:39:23] why not make the same thing twice?
[01:39:52] Package time, I have no idea what this is.
[01:40:01] After the 8 bar loop I am not hungry anymore, but the next time when you open up the project
[01:40:06] you say I just make another one, just make it maybe the same scale, the same rhythm,
[01:40:12] just after this 8 bar loop and you have something, you have something you can make an arrangement
[01:40:19] from.
[01:40:20] I don't have problems with you, that's nice, you can say it to my face if you have problems.
[01:40:40] Yeah arrangement is basically telling a story, I mean it sounds like very heavy, but that's
[01:40:49] how it is.
[01:40:53] But if you want to boil it down to some technical stuff, it's just bringing in elements and
[01:40:58] moving elements out in certain ways and over time.
[01:41:02] So you start with just one element and then you add something to it and then something
[01:41:06] different and then do this every 4 bars, every 8 bars and you have an arrangement and yeah,
[01:41:15] you start small, get bigger over time and then you have a main part and then after the
[01:41:19] main part you slowly fade certain instruments out, done, arrangement done.
[01:41:28] And then when you have done this type of easy arrangements you probably feel or you have
[01:41:34] feelings, you get feelings about it and you say oh this is actually not, there's no curve
[01:41:40] in there, no right, it doesn't sound right, and then you become familiar with the arrangements
[01:41:47] and you change certain things in specific ways.
[01:41:51] But you have to start somewhere, just make an 8 minute, 6 minute long track, try to make
[01:41:58] it interesting, that's all you need to do.
[01:42:08] Okay, practice, practice, practice exactly, just do the thing.
[01:42:23] Do the thing what you want to do and start bad and then get better over time.
[01:42:42] It's actually really great to make a stream to be honest, have some people in the chat
[01:42:47] talking about this without me having to type it all the time, it's really, really enjoyed.
[01:42:52] I should stream more.
[01:42:57] Not on Sunday though.
[01:43:02] So you can see this is very, very bad arrangement.
[01:43:22] But it's something, right, I started here with something very simple and then add something
[01:43:27] to it because I felt like here it's getting boring so I have to add something to it.
[01:43:32] So it's not a good arrangement but it's something and it brings the song forward.
[01:43:39] I can't wait for the polarity bitwig 6 stream, yes, I can't wait, also I'm pretty hyped.
[01:43:51] Yeah, Sunday is state Azure streaming evening, it's reserved.
[01:44:18] Just received bitwig connect, I love it, yeah, it's a great device.
[01:44:21] When are you going to stream tomorrow?
[01:44:26] I don't know, when they release it, I have no time.
[01:44:30] I guess it's at least within the office hours, Berlin time.
[01:44:41] And also the stream is starting directly when I start the stream, I probably start directly
[01:44:46] by explaining how bitwig works or what's new in bitwig 6, I guess, tomorrow.
[01:44:56] And then when this is done, I probably answer some questions when people have some questions
[01:45:01] and I show them different aspects or certain things in detail.
[01:45:08] And then maybe if I have power left in me, if I have still energy left in me, then I
[01:45:15] will do some music with bitwig 6 tomorrow.
[01:45:17] So this is the rough plan.
[01:45:28] Also easy listening music doesn't require an epic story, exactly, it's just you want
[01:45:33] to have something in the background that develops over time in certain ways and it doesn't need
[01:45:38] to be an epic arrangement, that's true.
[01:45:46] What's new in bitwig 6, yeah, I explained this tomorrow.
[01:45:53] Office hours in Berlin time is 10pm to 8am, that's a bit much.
[01:45:59] Isn't this the bitwig 6 stream, no, that's the test stream.
[01:46:13] I need to test it.
[01:46:14] I haven't streamed in a year or something like this, I have no idea if actually my stream
[01:46:21] setup is still working.
[01:46:24] So I had to try this out, also with the chat, last time I used restream.io to stream to
[01:46:31] Twitch and YouTube, but I think I only want to stream to YouTube, Twitch is not my thing
[01:46:35] to be honest.
[01:46:38] Most followers are here on YouTube, so I just streamed there.
[01:46:41] And also the VOD is archived, so you can always rewatch the stream, the VOD.
[01:46:51] Reversed camera 2, camera 2 is, wait a minute, this camera 2.
[01:47:01] Maybe I focus this on my keyboard so you can see what I'm playing.
[01:47:06] This is not connected at the moment here, also a lot of dust, I need to clean some dust
[01:47:11] before I go live tomorrow, that's very important.
[01:47:17] Yeah, that's camera 2, this is my OPS here, that's how it looks like.
[01:47:35] That stamp looks so cool, yeah, it's really nice.
[01:47:52] Also your new keys, in orange, very Bitwig-ish, all I need is a Bitwig mouse and a Bitwig
[01:48:05] keyboard, this would be really dope with special keys on top, opening up the grid, opening
[01:48:15] up the polarity website or something.
[01:48:26] What stand is that for the world to control?
[01:48:27] I think you can buy it on the Bitwig website, I'm not sure.
[01:48:33] But that's the special Bitwig edition.
[01:48:45] Do we also got a dust brush?
[01:48:47] I have one, yes, I have one, somewhere.
[01:48:56] Bitwig keyboard with a lot of these sensitive keys, yeah, and micropitch, in between, pitch
[01:49:12] bands.
[01:49:24] I still have this one here, so something like this from Bitwig would be nice, in orange,
[01:49:37] right?
[01:49:38] You have like a pitch band on that, pressure, and timbre, or timbre, or timbre, some option
[01:49:46] keys here.
[01:49:47] Also I still think this is the perfect small little desk MPE keyboard, but sadly it's discontinued.
[01:49:59] But it works so well, and it's so small, and so easy, and it was so cheap, I guess that's
[01:50:06] why it was discontinued, because it was great.
[01:50:12] Really sadly.
[01:50:21] Let's open up another one here, it's getting boring.
[01:50:28] Oh yeah, here's also something I tried to make with AI, I have to show you this.
[01:50:38] You have to tell me if, wait a minute, I need to switch back here.
[01:50:45] You have to tell me if this is actually cringe, because the vocals are AI based, okay?
[01:50:53] I made a track and I thought, something is missing, so I need to add some vocals, and
[01:50:58] then I use your AI to create some vocals for it, but you have to tell me if this is cringe
[01:51:04] or not, because I'm not a native speaker.
[01:51:06] I think it's cringe.
[01:51:14] I actually, do you guys like AI stuff?
[01:51:17] Is this something you like?
[01:51:19] I know that Generative AI is not really, people don't like to see, but it's not what I'm
[01:51:27] doing.
[01:51:28] I'm not creating AI, I just use it as a tool more or less, I just still want to have creative
[01:51:35] input, yes to AI, no, okay, no AI, AI is the best, I'm pretty not sure.
[01:51:52] I still think a big part of people don't like AI is that it's in the hand or in the hand
[01:52:02] of big corporations, right?
[01:52:04] Because it looks like they just rob all the, I mean, it doesn't look like it, it is that
[01:52:12] they rob actually all the small little poor artists and then make a big bug of it.
[01:52:22] So I hope there will be some open source stuff out, yes, open source AI, that could be a solution
[01:52:32] for that, but still, I think a big, big downside of this AI stuff is that it's just in the
[01:52:43] hands of big corporations instead of the people.
[01:52:48] Anyway.
[01:53:04] So, I hope you enjoyed this video, I hope you enjoyed it, I hope you enjoyed it, I hope you're
[01:53:22] having a great day, I hope you enjoyed it, I hope you enjoyed it, I hope you enjoyed it,
[01:53:40] I hope you enjoyed it, I hope you enjoyed it, I hope you enjoyed it, I hope you enjoyed
[01:54:04] it, I hope you enjoyed it.
[01:54:33] You can hear it, if you sing all the vocals, you can hear basically the A-leasing and yeah,
[01:54:43] it sounds a bit like a poor MP3 in a way sometimes, but if you have reverb and other tracks playing
[01:54:50] alongside, you can't hear actually anything, but yeah.
[01:55:17] But yeah, in this video, I hope you enjoyed it, I hope you enjoyed it, I hope you enjoyed
[01:55:47] it, I hope you enjoyed it, I hope you enjoyed it, I hope you enjoyed it, I hope you enjoyed
[01:56:07] it, I hope you enjoyed it, I hope you enjoyed it, I hope you enjoyed it, I hope you enjoyed
[01:56:29] it, I hope you enjoyed it, I hope you enjoyed it, I hope you enjoyed it, I hope you enjoyed
[01:56:55] it, I hope you enjoyed it, I hope you enjoyed it, I hope you enjoyed it, I hope you enjoyed
[01:57:23] it, I hope you enjoyed it, I hope you enjoyed it, I hope you enjoyed it, I hope you enjoyed
[01:57:44] it, I hope you enjoyed it, I hope you enjoyed it, I hope you enjoyed it, I hope you enjoyed
[01:58:10] it, I hope you enjoyed it, I hope you enjoyed it, I hope you enjoyed it, I hope you enjoyed
[01:58:37] it, I hope you enjoyed it, I hope you enjoyed it, I hope you enjoyed it, I hope you enjoyed
[01:58:57] it, I hope you enjoyed it, I hope you enjoyed it, I hope you enjoyed it, I hope you enjoyed
[01:59:20] it, I hope you enjoyed it, I hope you enjoyed it, I hope you enjoyed it, I hope you enjoyed
[01:59:39] it, I hope you enjoyed it, I hope you enjoyed it, I hope you enjoyed it, I hope you enjoyed
[02:00:04] it, I hope you enjoyed it, I hope you enjoyed it, I hope you enjoyed it, I hope you enjoyed
[02:00:29] it, I hope you enjoyed it, I hope you enjoyed it, I hope you enjoyed it, I hope you enjoyed
[02:00:48] it, I hope you enjoyed it, I hope you enjoyed it, I hope you enjoyed it, I hope you enjoyed
[02:01:09] it, I hope you enjoyed it, I hope you enjoyed it, I hope you enjoyed it, I hope you enjoyed it,
[02:01:30] I hope you enjoyed it, I hope you enjoyed it, I hope you enjoyed it, I hope you enjoyed
[02:01:55] it, I hope you enjoyed it, I hope you enjoyed it, I hope you enjoyed it, I hope you enjoyed
[02:02:20] it, I hope you enjoyed it, I hope you enjoyed it, I hope you enjoyed it, I hope you enjoyed
[02:02:39] it, I hope you enjoyed it, I hope you enjoyed it, I hope you enjoyed it, I hope you enjoyed
[02:03:03] it, I hope you enjoyed it, I hope you enjoyed it, I hope you enjoyed it, I hope you enjoyed
[02:03:28] (upbeat music)
[02:03:31] Just a crappy evening loop.
[02:03:49] Oh, there's a chill track here.
[02:03:54] Let me see what this is.
[02:03:55] (bouncy music)
[02:03:58] Locust 77, I don't know.
[02:04:03] I don't know.
[02:04:09] Tomorrow, at some point, the day is off, it's ours.
[02:04:12] Yeah, it misses soul.
[02:04:22] Yeah, the AI stuff misses soul, for sure.
[02:04:24] Sometimes you just need something.
[02:04:27] Add some polarity ambient stuff.
[02:04:41] I recorded some hard-dressed synthesizers here, probably.
[02:04:48] Maybe.
[02:04:51] (bouncy music)
[02:04:54] I've seen the M1 on sale, did not buy it.
[02:04:59] Yeah, sometimes you need,
[02:05:01] if you want to have the special 90s sound,
[02:05:04] you need the M1 or you need the Triton
[02:05:06] because everyone used these synthesizers back then,
[02:05:10] and it's basically half the charm.
[02:05:13] If you actually used the version of Bitwig 6 yet,
[02:05:20] or you've just been told what it contains,
[02:05:22] I can't say it, I can't tell you.
[02:05:24] How do you store your work in progress finished projects?
[02:05:36] What happens once you've completed the track
[02:05:39] might be on your different?
[02:05:40] I just put it in a random folder
[02:05:42] or uploaded it to Bandcamp.
[02:05:44] I've probably the worst archive method ever.
[02:05:49] I actually care more to make a new track,
[02:05:51] make something new instead of what I did.
[02:05:54] When it's done, it's done.
[02:05:55] I never really think about it.
[02:05:57] Recently, I listened to some older tracks
[02:06:00] and I fairly enjoyed it,
[02:06:03] but you're always listening in a different way
[02:06:06] to your own tracks.
[02:06:07] You always want to change something
[02:06:08] and you know exactly, oh, I did the kick drums there,
[02:06:11] way too hard, or I made certain decisions there.
[02:06:14] So I don't listen that much to my older stuff.
[02:06:18] It's just, it's gone.
[02:06:21] It's history.
[02:06:23] So my archiving methods are not good.
[02:06:26] Have you considered a radio station
[02:06:45] that plays the unfinished music?
[02:06:47] You mean like a 24 hour live stream or something like this?
[02:06:51] I don't know.
[02:06:54] It's,
[02:06:57] feel a bit nervous putting stuff out.
[02:07:03] I'm not really, I don't really like,
[02:07:05] I'm not really behind it.
[02:07:07] I'm kind of an insecure artist sometimes.
[02:07:13] But yeah, it would be a great idea to actually put it out.
[02:07:17] (upbeat music)
[02:07:19] How do we keep your track folder
[02:07:34] on the Bitwig loading page tidy?
[02:07:36] Mine's always, it's the right minutes.
[02:07:37] You mean that the naming or you mean,
[02:07:40] so my naming here is always pretty straightforward
[02:07:44] because I use here this file name generator.
[02:07:48] I say, oh, I'm generating a drum base tune,
[02:07:51] generate name after current date.
[02:07:53] Drum base, and then I give it here some random name.
[02:07:57] And then I just copy this and use it as a file name.
[02:08:00] And this way I know exactly,
[02:08:04] or this is a drum base tune,
[02:08:07] or this is an ambient tune, or whatever.
[02:08:10] I had some feature requests in the beginning
[02:08:12] when Bitwig Studio came out.
[02:08:14] I always wanted to have here a play button
[02:08:17] so you can play maybe the last bounce
[02:08:20] or Bitwig does some internal audio bounce
[02:08:23] from when you are hitting save, the save button.
[02:08:28] And then you have like a small little preview
[02:08:30] that you know exactly how it sounds.
[02:08:33] So this would be cool to have sometimes.
[02:08:37] (upbeat music)
[02:08:43] (upbeat music)
[02:08:45] Yeah, there's a lot of room for improvement here
[02:08:50] with the project tabs, right?
[02:08:52] Just sorting stuff or maybe make playlists
[02:08:56] where you have like a playlist for ambient,
[02:08:57] a playlist for drum base.
[02:08:59] Then maybe versioning that you say,
[02:09:02] oh, this is version one.
[02:09:04] Then a table where you can say last time
[02:09:07] you changed something, last time you created something.
[02:09:11] Maybe something like Git where you can say,
[02:09:13] oh, here you added a queue, here you removed something,
[02:09:18] you changed the loudness here or the volume there.
[02:09:21] So like a diff between what you did
[02:09:24] and the last change.
[02:09:26] This could be cool.
[02:09:30] And the preview, just an audio preview.
[02:09:33] Because you have here this record thing, right?
[02:09:37] You can record the audio.
[02:09:39] Why not have it on by default
[02:09:42] and just record the last 30 seconds.
[02:09:45] And when you hit save,
[02:09:46] you just make an audio files saved with the project.
[02:09:50] And you can then just preview here an audio file
[02:09:54] and you can hear exactly how it sounds
[02:09:56] the last time you saved it.
[02:09:58] Why not?
[02:09:59] No door has that.
[02:10:02] I have no idea why.
[02:10:03] (upbeat music)
[02:10:07] (upbeat music)
[02:10:09] Does Cubase has something like this?
[02:10:11] No, why?
[02:10:12] Because they don't make music.
[02:10:14] They just code all day.
[02:10:15] Okay.
[02:10:16] (upbeat music)
[02:10:19] Like rolling sample just different.
[02:10:22] Yeah.
[02:10:23] So this one here, this record master record thing
[02:10:26] could record or you should change it.
[02:10:29] So it records all the time a buffer of 30 seconds,
[02:10:33] five minutes or something like this.
[02:10:36] It could be nice to have.
[02:10:37] And then when you hit save,
[02:10:38] just save a preview with the project done.
[02:10:41] (upbeat music)
[02:10:45] (speaking in foreign language)
[02:10:53] What time are you on from tomorrow?
[02:10:59] I have no idea.
[02:11:00] I don't know when they release it.
[02:11:05] It takes time.
[02:11:07] They probably want to make some last minute changes
[02:11:09] here and there.
[02:11:10] Prepare the website.
[02:11:12] I don't know.
[02:11:15] When it's on, when they release the announcement,
[02:11:18] when they make the download ready,
[02:11:21] I'm instantaneously download the beta,
[02:11:24] install it, start up the stream
[02:11:27] and then show you everything.
[02:11:29] Then we can dance together,
[02:11:33] hype together, talk together,
[02:11:36] hype everything up, be happy
[02:11:40] or be disappointed or whatever.
[02:11:42] I use rewind for monkeesie.
[02:11:46] Yeah, it's a good plug-in.
[02:11:47] My problem was that it's I-lock based.
[02:11:51] And every time I show something on my videos,
[02:11:53] I-lock based, I have a lot of angry comments
[02:11:56] about people hating I-lock.
[02:11:58] And to be honest, I'm also not a big fan of I-lock.
[02:12:02] (upbeat music)
[02:12:04] It's not really, no, no.
[02:12:24] Tomorrow is the beta, beta one.
[02:12:28] So the released version is probably later this year.
[02:12:33] All my homies hate I-lock, yeah.
[02:12:45] True.
[02:12:47] Based.
[02:12:48] Based.
[02:12:50] I thought it was really released.
[02:12:55] No, no, no.
[02:12:56] They always start with the beta.
[02:12:58] So there are probably a lot of things changing
[02:13:01] over the course of the beta over the next weeks, months.
[02:13:05] Can you keep beta in 5.3 installed at the same time?
[02:13:13] Yes, probably.
[02:13:14] Of course, that's, I think every version that you install
[02:13:21] has a new directory.
[02:13:23] It doesn't matter if it's beta or not,
[02:13:24] but beta is, of course, it's a different directory.
[02:13:29] Can keep it, keep all the versions at the same time.
[02:13:32] I've accepted I-lock.
[02:13:39] Yeah, you have to for certain block ends.
[02:13:41] It's no way around it.
[02:13:43] (upbeat music)
[02:13:45] Why do people ask for ARRA, what's so special about it?
[02:13:59] That's a good question.
[02:14:00] I have no idea.
[02:14:01] I see this all the time, sometimes on Reddit
[02:14:03] or forums that people bring this up
[02:14:05] and they are very, very passionate about ARRA, right?
[02:14:09] It's like the holy grail, it feels like, almost.
[02:14:13] I guess it's for people that want to use Melodyne
[02:14:16] or something.
[02:14:18] I think ARRA is actually nothing special.
[02:14:20] It's just a way of exchanging what's on your sequencer, right?
[02:14:24] You can say, oh, it's a way file.
[02:14:26] And then you can right click and say edit Melodyne.
[02:14:29] And then it opens up basically Melodyne
[02:14:31] and a separate application.
[02:14:32] And then you have this way file in there.
[02:14:34] And when you change in Melodyne, the way file,
[02:14:36] it also changes inside of the door.
[02:14:39] Something like this.
[02:14:41] So I guess people are wanting ARRA for this.
[02:14:45] But I never heard, never saw anyone use ARRA on a YouTube
[02:14:50] video.
[02:14:52] It only looks like it's only on Bitwig
[02:14:57] that there are certain users really want to have it.
[02:14:59] Memory sharing between plugin and door, yeah.
[02:15:04] OK.
[02:15:05] When upgrade plans expire, do people still
[02:15:20] receive bugs fixes for their version?
[02:15:22] Yes.
[02:15:25] What if they encounter a door breaking bug?
[02:15:28] You have to report, and then it will be fixed.
[02:15:32] I think you always get fixes when it's just a minor change.
[02:15:37] So you don't get big version jumps.
[02:15:42] But bug fixes you will always get,
[02:15:44] even though your license or upgrade plan or however it's
[02:15:48] called is not active anymore.
[02:15:50] It's also a time here for some different tabs, right?
[02:16:00] In the beginning, when they released Bitwig 1.0,
[02:16:05] and this was a big feature having these tabs in here.
[02:16:09] And my thinking was back then that you could actually
[02:16:13] run multiple tracks at the same time.
[02:16:16] So instead of activating here the audio engine for this
[02:16:20] and just playing this and then activating this,
[02:16:22] I thought, well, you can actually play this and this
[02:16:24] at the same time, and then you can crossfade between the tabs.
[02:16:28] So this was my thinking, my stupid brain.
[02:16:32] Right, when you have a live set and you have multiple tracks,
[02:16:39] it would be great, or am I wrong?
[02:16:42] You make a live set with multiple tracks
[02:16:44] and then you load all your projects.
[02:16:46] And then you fade from this track to this track,
[02:16:48] and then you crossfade to this track.
[02:16:52] I know it's probably technically very, very hard to do.
[02:16:56] I can't scroll here also with the mouse wheel for some reason.
[02:17:01] Sounds like a PC killer.
[02:17:10] Yeah, but they have already in Bitwig here a system
[02:17:14] where when the plug-in or the audio effect is not used,
[02:17:19] you don't use up CPU power.
[02:17:23] So when one track is finished,
[02:17:24] maybe you blend in over to another track, there's an intro.
[02:17:28] You don't play everything at the same time.
[02:17:30] You just have maybe a pad sound or percussion or drums or so on.
[02:17:35] And in the old track, you also have just an outro,
[02:17:37] a pad sound and some drums,
[02:17:38] and then you blend from one to the other.
[02:17:41] It should be not that much CPU intensive, maybe,
[02:17:50] but it's probably not easy to solve on the easy problem.
[02:17:54] It works easy in my brain, of course, but it's not...
[02:17:59] At this point, I'm too used to the browser, okay?
[02:18:04] You accept it, basically everything.
[02:18:06] You accept it, I log in, you accept it, the browser.
[02:18:09] That's good.
[02:18:11] Acceptance comes with age.
[02:18:13] (silence)
[02:18:15] Do you think they will change the browser?
[02:18:28] My friend doesn't like it.
[02:18:29] And since it got used just updated lately,
[02:18:32] I don't think it will change.
[02:18:33] Yeah, it's probably staying for this,
[02:18:37] or how it is for a longer time.
[02:18:43] You have to get used to it.
[02:18:44] You have to work with it, that's how it is.
[02:18:49] Or maybe you use something external,
[02:18:55] an external solution, an application,
[02:18:57] like Sononume or you vibe code something for yourself.
[02:19:03] (laughs)
[02:19:08] (silence)
[02:19:10] What's this, actually, here?
[02:19:19] Holy macaroni.
[02:19:28] I can't even zoom out, this is the biggest, highest zoom.
[02:19:38] (silence)
[02:19:40] 90 viewers, holy shit.
[02:20:07] I just saw it, 90 viewers, great.
[02:20:11] And it's just a test stream.
[02:20:16] Should be great tomorrow, actually can't wait.
[02:20:19] I can't wait, I want to see the reaction.
[02:20:22] That's actually my reaction content.
[02:20:25] Usually people go to YouTube and watch reaction content,
[02:20:28] so to create a reaction or something,
[02:20:29] I want to see people react to my reaction.
[02:20:34] (silence)
[02:20:36] What time tomorrow, I don't know,
[02:20:44] between office hours, that's our rough guess.
[02:20:48] Oh, there's actually a melody in there, holy.
[02:21:03] Completely forgot about this patch here.
[02:21:06] Okay, July.
[02:21:09] Choose, I can't tell you, sorry.
[02:21:20] I know nothing, I'm brain dead.
[02:21:24] (silence)
[02:21:27] I'm brain dead.
[02:21:32] What are your PC specs?
[02:21:36] I have an AMD CPU 5,950X or something,
[02:21:43] but at the moment it's in chill mode.
[02:21:49] And I have NVDA GPU 3070Ti, 32 gigabytes of RAM,
[02:21:54] and lots of hard drives with lots of crap on it.
[02:22:05] I never use.
[02:22:17] Oh, you have an NDA like with machine of NI?
[02:22:20] So what's gonna happen there?
[02:22:25] Just talk about it.
[02:22:27] Are they cooking something new?
[02:22:36] I can't tell, sorry, that's sad.
[02:22:44] (silence)
[02:22:46] I know nothing exactly.
[02:23:11] (laughs)
[02:23:14] Let's stop this here.
[02:23:36] (typing)
[02:23:38] Pulley grid.
[02:23:45] Let's open this up here.
[02:24:00] To, yeah, that's okay.
[02:24:04] (typing)
[02:24:06] I don't know what's happening,
[02:24:12] but I'm completely nervous.
[02:24:15] Sample, no, I am random.
[02:24:19] Yeah, I have to stay cool tomorrow
[02:24:25] when I have a lot of viewers.
[02:24:28] Maybe I get too nervous and I can't do anything,
[02:24:31] but I'll probably explain in the beginning of the stream
[02:24:34] anyway what's happening.
[02:24:35] Going over all the new features
[02:24:39] and then making music way down later in the stream.
[02:24:43] So I completely forgot how to make music.
[02:24:49] Live, at least, when people watching.
[02:24:54] It's not easy.
[02:24:55] At least for me, I'm introvert.
[02:25:00] (typing)
[02:25:02] Constant.
[02:25:05] Counter, and let's use a counter, multiply.
[02:25:13] So how was it?
[02:25:17] You need to use, you need to use hold, hold the value,
[02:25:21] and then you can go in here all the way.
[02:25:29] And it gives you always the same value.
[02:25:30] So two, let me give you, let me read out here.
[02:25:35] So two gives you 0.8, three gives you 5.6,
[02:25:42] one, two gives you 8....
[02:25:45] So it's always the same.
[02:25:47] But when you,
[02:25:48] let's give me trigger, trigger thing here.
[02:25:53] When you re-trigger this LFO,
[02:25:57] you get a different value for two.
[02:25:59] But it's always the same value for two.
[02:26:02] It's always 50.562, 12 is 392,
[02:26:07] two is 0.562.
[02:26:11] So it's always the same value until you re-trigger.
[02:26:15] So I guess there's in the background
[02:26:17] some kind of noise sample that's re-sampled.
[02:26:21] And that's very cool for using it with generative music,
[02:26:26] because you can just reset this LFO
[02:26:28] and you get a bunch of new values.
[02:26:31] But they are always the same values.
[02:26:32] So eight, so I multiply this by eight.
[02:26:36] And then I trigger this.
[02:26:42] Let's go to 16 nodes.
[02:26:46] So it's basically a sequence that's always the same.
[02:26:54] And then the range is way too high for nodes.
[02:26:58] So I pull this down to 10%.
[02:27:00] So I get something like this.
[02:27:03] And this goes straight into pitch quantizer.
[02:27:09] My beloved quich, quich, quich, quich, quich, quantizer.
[02:27:14] Quich, quantizer.
[02:27:17] It was a nice track name, quich, quantizer.
[02:27:19] Quich.
[02:27:23] Quich, quantizer.
[02:27:26] Bam.
[02:27:30] Okay, so this is nice for nodes, probably.
[02:27:34] And this will be an AD.
[02:27:38] Bam, bam, bam, bam, we just trigger this, huh?
[02:27:50] Sample nodes would be nice.
[02:27:52] Then if you want to have a new melody,
[02:28:07] just re-trigger this.
[02:28:16] (upbeat music)
[02:28:19] And we could also take maybe a second one
[02:28:28] and do the same thing.
[02:28:31] But here it should be a different wave sample,
[02:28:35] a different noise sample.
[02:28:37] So it should give you different values.
[02:28:40] So we can use that to modulate something.
[02:28:46] Let's say in octaver.
[02:28:47] Yeah.
[02:28:50] Modulate up just one octave higher
[02:28:54] and one octave lower.
[02:28:57] Okay, let's try this.
[02:28:59] (upbeat music)
[02:29:02] That's just random stuff.
[02:29:14] Okay, let's create some FX, land, land.
[02:29:19] Let's go for the all pass.
[02:29:25] Start with four milliseconds, 300.
[02:29:30] Go in there, maybe a torus first, I don't know.
[02:29:40] A lot, maybe a delay or maybe a phaser.
[02:29:44] Give me a phaser.
[02:29:48] Very slow.
[02:29:51] And then another bunch of all pass things here.
[02:29:56] This is 200, this is 100.
[02:30:05] Then at the end we use delay, mod delay.
[02:30:09] We up, go in there.
[02:30:13] Okay, maybe I'm high pass there.
[02:30:17] Reverbs usually have high pass and low pass
[02:30:20] for the tail, for the wet signal.
[02:30:25] When in doubt, make it all pass, exactly.
[02:30:31] This is why we spend money on reverb plugins.
[02:30:35] I spend money on impulse responses.
[02:30:38] Sometimes it's really nice to just sample
[02:30:40] some random noise stuff as a reverb, in my opinion.
[02:30:45] I have here always this, where is it?
[02:30:49] This thing here, I can show you that.
[02:30:53] I bought this at some point, zoom.
[02:31:01] What's the name?
[02:31:03] Zoom H3 VR VR.
[02:31:07] .
[02:31:07] It's not super expensive, but it has like these four,
[02:31:14] four microphones on it, four microphones
[02:31:18] in different directions.
[02:31:20] So it's capturing four channel audio.
[02:31:23] Just looks like this.
[02:31:27] And with this, if you put this then, what you sample,
[02:31:34] and they are into the convolution reverb in Bitwig,
[02:31:37] it sounds really nice sometimes.
[02:31:39] Now sample really random stuff.
[02:31:43] I have this always with me, when I go out.
[02:31:46] Damn.
[02:31:48] Okay.
[02:31:50] Yeah, it's not very expensive, actually.
[02:32:02] (upbeat music)
[02:32:30] I thought there should be a second delay.
[02:32:33] Blend.
[02:32:42] Maybe a pitch.
[02:32:58] We have now here this pitch shift.
[02:33:00] Let's try this one.
[02:33:01] (upbeat music)
[02:33:04] Let's see how this sounds.
[02:33:21] (upbeat music)
[02:33:24] (upbeat music)
[02:33:26] Or maybe it was a pitch shift, not here.
[02:33:53] Maybe here.
[02:33:55] (upbeat music)
[02:33:57] Okay, it's a bit boring.
[02:34:16] Maybe a saw.
[02:34:18] Maybe it was a wave table here.
[02:34:21] (upbeat music)
[02:34:24] Oh, that's okay.
[02:34:47] (upbeat music)
[02:34:50] (upbeat music)
[02:34:54] Maybe use another one.
[02:34:56] Let me use this for that.
[02:34:57] (upbeat music)
[02:35:18] Maybe we can extract from this a pad sound.
[02:35:21] I don't know.
[02:35:22] Maybe the pitch shifter.
[02:35:25] Damn, I need to eat something.
[02:35:30] Exactly now, when I'm in the flow.
[02:35:36] (upbeat music)
[02:35:41] Put this there.
[02:35:43] Blend.
[02:35:45] (upbeat music)
[02:35:48] Damn.
[02:35:51] Oh, let's start 500.
[02:35:58] (upbeat music)
[02:36:02] (upbeat music)
[02:36:08] this.
[02:36:08] (upbeat music)
[02:36:11] (upbeat music)
[02:36:22] Come on, hey, hey, wait, wait.
[02:36:32] Then we mix it.
[02:36:36] (upbeat music)
[02:36:38] Maybe another delay here.
[02:36:57] (upbeat music)
[02:37:00] (upbeat music)
[02:37:02] Now pass.
[02:37:14] (upbeat music)
[02:37:29] (upbeat music)
[02:37:32] Oh, come on, hey, hey, hey, wait, wait, wait.
[02:37:36] (upbeat music)
[02:37:38] Mm, let's put 24.
[02:37:52] (upbeat music)
[02:37:54] (upbeat music)
[02:37:57] (upbeat music)
[02:38:00] (upbeat music)
[02:38:03] (upbeat music)
[02:38:06] I could do this for hours.
[02:38:33] And I'd do it for hours.
[02:38:34] Go to Burger Meister, yeah, good idea.
[02:38:40] Um.
[02:38:43] Go to Japan, recommend it sushi.
[02:38:48] Hey, Odo is over here.
[02:38:49] You doing overnight stream on the buttocks?
[02:38:53] No, no, no, no, no, no, no overnight stream.
[02:38:56] I need my sleep.
[02:38:57] I need to be ready for tomorrow, okay?
[02:39:00] I need to be healthier.
[02:39:01] (upbeat music)
[02:39:04] We need an output channel in the grid, output channel.
[02:39:13] Oh, yeah, you mean different audio channels,
[02:39:17] different, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, good idea.
[02:39:20] (upbeat music)
[02:39:31] Why is the music so quiet?
[02:39:32] It's a good question.
[02:39:36] (clears throat)
[02:39:38] (upbeat music)
[02:39:41] But it said that older people need less sleep, yeah?
[02:39:50] I'm already all just sleeping, I don't know, six hours,
[02:39:54] sometimes seven hours or something like this.
[02:39:58] But I think I need more.
[02:40:01] Eating at this time of the evening is not healthy.
[02:40:05] Yeah, that's true, for sure.
[02:40:08] But I eat a banana.
[02:40:09] A banana is always okay.
[02:40:11] Banana is okay, okay?
[02:40:12] (upbeat music)
[02:40:16] If the music is too quiet,
[02:40:21] your amplifier is too weak, okay?
[02:40:23] (upbeat music)
[02:40:26] (upbeat music)
[02:40:29] Let's use here a random wave form.
[02:40:54] I made some wave forms in serum.
[02:40:57] (upbeat music)
[02:41:01] But it's missing some low end, but it's okay.
[02:41:09] (upbeat music)
[02:41:12] (upbeat music)
[02:41:14] What an epic sequence.
[02:41:40] (upbeat music)
[02:41:42] That's just a multi-note thing, yeah?
[02:41:54] (upbeat music)
[02:41:56] (upbeat music)
[02:42:26] Can I pinch down?
[02:42:27] (yells)
[02:42:29] (upbeat music)
[02:42:32] (upbeat music)
[02:42:34] (upbeat music)
[02:43:03] The seventh chord already sounds like nineties.
[02:43:07] Oh, it's a key filter.
[02:43:11] It will be forever the diatronic transposer for me.
[02:43:15] (upbeat music)
[02:43:22] (upbeat music)
[02:43:25] (upbeat music)
[02:43:28] (upbeat music)
[02:43:30] (upbeat music)
[02:43:33] (upbeat music)
[02:43:35] (upbeat music)
[02:43:38] (upbeat music)
[02:43:40] (upbeat music)
[02:43:43] (upbeat music)
[02:44:12] Let's use one note, where the thing is off, okay?
[02:44:16] (upbeat music)
[02:44:19] Let's make this a bit longer here.
[02:44:43] (upbeat music)
[02:44:46] It's a bit longer, much longer.
[02:45:00] (upbeat music)
[02:45:02] (upbeat music)
[02:45:11] (upbeat music)
[02:45:14] (upbeat music)
[02:45:43] I just recorded.
[02:45:45] (upbeat music)
