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
Not an affiliate link, just a good deal on solid software.
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
I am still struggling to #debug some #proprietary#audio#plugin (s) using a #flatpak DAW. Is there any way I can see what resources the plugins are trying to access from within the Flatpak #sandbox? Running #bitwig with flatpak run -v com.bitwig.BitwigStudio does not reveal anything and flatpak run --command=sh --devel com.bitwig.BitwigStudio > gdb /app/bin/bitwig-studio (after installing org.freedesktop.Sdk.Debug) only says: (No debugging symbols found in /app/bin/bitwig-studio)
Today's tutorial in Bitwig Studio covered creating a complex track from scratch, focusing on building rhythms, melodies, and atmospheres within the Bitwig environment.
Dont compare yourself to others & Melodic Techno from Scratch. In my response to "trendcast," I express understanding of the frustration that comes with comparing one's work to others and the evolving nature of personal art.
I was a bit bored today and thought I'd record a few sequences while playing on my synths. Nothing special, just messing around. The bass comes from the Poly-D, arps from the M32, drums from the DFAM, and a Drone + Pianoteq from Bitwig. I havent saved it, just a throwaway jam.
This is a blatant rip off of an 8 year old Ned Rush video, but I built the design up from scratch in #bitwig using very Bitwiggy methods. Featuring: my terrible finger drumming skills and a Sensel Morph. Think of it as free jazz ;)
One of the tracks I made for #FAWM 2024. It all came together within an hour. I took a bit more time for the mixdown. The recordings are from Berlin, Lichtenberg. I think the bleak apartment buildings and the industrial vibe really add something special to the track.
The project for #Bitwig will also be available here soon for Premium subscribers.
today I wanted to dive into the super important and interesting topic of sidechain compression. I'll use this video to do some tests, compare values, and maybe even bust a few myths. I also found a Bug!
In the video, I use the free plugin PaulXStretch 23 times. In each instance, I've recorded one note and a unique sound from the Korg Triton. Each instance also has a different recording length, different panning and stretches the sample differently. It's always great to see and hear how you can create soundscapes with such simple workflows.
