Well it's been a year since I joined this here website, so a reintroduction is in order.
I make electronic music that blends the familiar and the experimental. Been doing this for a little over ten years. For better or worse I can't seem to stick to one "sound". I throw genres in a blender and see what happens.
I also post about tech stuff, being a Linux user. In January I finally moved my music production over to Linux. Still getting used to Bitwig; loving it so far.
As a recovering perfectionist, I strive to get better at finishing what I start. At the end of last year I finally put out my first full album. The first of many.
I want to give a big thank-you to @cambraca@debonairetoast and @ThunderComplex for keeping this instance running smoothly. I've met a lot of cool people and overall had a great time here. Thank you.
Any #bitwig users here who can attest to it's quality, good and bad? Wanna find a replacement for Ableton that runs on Linux and now I'm between reaper and bitwig but I'm leaning bitwig
Does anyone else use the Dual Display (Arranger/Mixer) setting in #bitwig on a single monitor from time to time? I find it nice to have the mixer and device chain always visible (and context sensitive) while working on an arrangement, and to have the latter always visible as well. On a big enough screen at least, this can be a very comfortable approach for me. #mixing#daw#musicmaking#linuxaudio

I’m historically more of a traditional workflow person so I use LUNA but I’m going to branch out with this and try some grid things, and the modulators in particular are nuts.
And then this:
"We also rewrote our graphics engine to be more responsive and efficient. Painting our interface on your computer's GPU gives us native hardware acceleration, and more CPU is now available for your audio. Also, knobs pop more and scopes have a fresh look." #bitwig 5.2 #update
One of the #bitwig 5.2 #feature (s) I am looking forward too:
"Mouseless navigation is a breeze in Bitwig Studio 5.2. With Bitwig’s default key commands, your arrow keys can now send you between relevant points of interest in clips or on the Arranger Timeline, or even between different tracks in your project." #linuxaudio#update
It is often the small things that matter the most (to me):
"Undo is a modern marvel, helping you audition changes to your audio and patches with equal ease. Plug-ins are covered as well in Bitwig Studio 5.2. So no matter what you change, Bitwig can always bring you that critical one step back." #bitwig 5.2 #update
Today, I'm making a track from scratch again. I'm building a small, dirty roller loop within an hour, all from the ground up without using any loops or final samples. As usual, you can find the project on my Patreon.
