In this video, I demonstrate a unique reverb technique using an FX grid instead of a traditional reverb effect. By utilizing voice stacking, modulation, and various parameters, I create a custom reverb sound with subtle variations on each stack. This technique allows for endless experimentation and creativity in crafting unique and dynamic reverbs.

I just watched a video where Dave Lindenbank created a compressor inside of the grid, and I took his patch and created my own preset called DOTT (Dave OTT) - a three-band compressor expander. It's completely free to download and it includes band splitters, compressors, expanders, threshold and gain controls, VU meters, and EQ and saturation options. It's a powerful tool for squeezing the signal and I hope you enjoy experimenting with it.

In this video, I show how to recreate AU5's Ultra Comp filter in Bitwig Studio for the Bitwig Reddit community. Using a combination of All-Pass filters and signal blending, I demonstrate how to achieve the spectral filtering sound and moiré pattern seen in AU5's video. Additionally, I provide an alternative method using Bitwig Studio's frequency split feature, which offers a more straightforward and CPU-friendly approach to creating different types of filters.

In this video, I explain how to use the grid in Bitwig Studio to calculate release time for a compressor based on beats instead of milliseconds. I show how to convert a ramp signal into a sound, measure the pitch using zero crossings, and then convert it to hertz and milliseconds. Although it's a hacky approach, it's a fun challenge and allows for time-based calculations in the grid.

In this video, I discuss the All-Pass filter module in Bitwig Studio 5.2. While it may not seem like much, this module is actually quite powerful as it allows for phase shifting at specific frequencies without altering the frequency content. This module can be used for tasks such as phase aligning sounds or creating custom filters within the Bitwig Grid.

In this video, I cover three different topics related to EQ techniques. The first is an auto leveler method using bandpass filters and an amplifier to maintain a consistent volume. The second is a multi-band EQ compressor, created by combining an EQ with a grid compressor, allowing for individual frequency control. Lastly, I demonstrate the use of the Loud Split device to selectively affect different frequency ranges in a sound, helpful for removing noise or enhancing specific elements.

In this video, I demonstrate how to replicate the concept of Arturia's EFX Refract plugin using Bitwig Studio's Bitwig Grid. I outline the process of creating multiple voices, applying delay and modulation effects, and implementing a bandpass filter for each voice. While I couldn't replicate the plugin's 3D interface or harmonizer, this tutorial serves as an inspiration for creating similar effects in the Bitwig Grid.

In this video, I explore creating a buffer repeat effect similar to Freezer within the Bitwig Studio grid. I demonstrate three different versions: one using triggers and modulation, another using predefined triggers, and a third using a scalar with the ability to shape the volume of each repeat. These methods allow for unique and customizable effects that can't be achieved with standard plugins.

In this video, I demonstrated how to use the mid-side split container in Bitweek 4.0 to create a stereo sound. I showed how to add a different kick drum sample to the side channel to create a difference between the left and right channels, and how to use an FX grid and the math operation subtract and add to get the side and mid channels respectively. I also showed how to use a polysynth and an audio receiver to create interesting effects. I hope this inspires you to experiment and come up with new ideas!
