I switched from ableton to bitwig a month ago and it boosted my creativity by a great margin. I achieve the sound i want way faster because of some great design choices. A crashing plugin in ableton is a creativity killer, in bitwig its no problem :)

That's true, Bitwig hasn't crashed on me, escept one time but was becayse of an iLok plugin. And the workflow is really efficent

Great vid, amigo! I would add that another great practical aspect of BW's modulators is to revive old VSTs - those still in use but that have objectively crappy modulation systems (FM8 and Sylenth are 2 that come to mind). Just override all those old limited internal systems with BWs = a great way of breathing some life into vintage VSTs Also: It's a great shortcut to diving into vintage-modeled synths that come with a learning curve. I mean: how many of us have really taken the time to learn all of Arturia's vintage emulations? My MO now is: Just show me where the barebones oscillators, filters and Envelopes are and after that I'll go to work with BWs modulators. Hotwiring a crazy complex Modular Moog with some of BW's more extreme modulators, ie, is a sure way of doing some unique vintage-meets-modern sound design:)

I agree, that makes it an amazing DAW, not beign limited by a plugin's limitations

Ableton is starting to get flanked. 13 better be something awesome... not just a couple new devices and some bug fixes.

modulators and fx containers inside devices are two of the best features of Bitwig, imo. Putting another Reverb in the Reverb "tank" or a Chorus+ or even a resonator bank, etc, then modulating the reverb itself... it's the LEGO of DAWs :D

Thank you! this is really helpful. cant you please show how to create a multiband dynamics with side chain like in Ableton?

I could make a short video, but basically you have the multiband 3 device, and the dynamics have sidechain inputs. there's a multiband dynamics too

I still remember the day, about 2 years ago, when I tried to find an LFO in FL Studio. As with anything in FL, it wasn't where I expected it could be, so I turned to youtube and learned that the LFO lives among audio effects and is actually called "Fruity Peak Controller". And why not? It is, after all, a peak controller that doubles as a rather quirky LFO. I won't describe it in detail, don't want to horrify people, but mostly I couldn't get over how they named it, how impractical it was, and how they apparently didn't care. I remember it because on that day I finally decided I had enough and bought Bitwig - for the modulators. Soon I discovered the three grids in it and that made Bitwig my favorite piece of software of all time (which in my case means since mid-90s, when I got my first PC AT computer). Never looked back, and my creativity opened up like I didn't think was possible. And now when I am looking for something, it is where I expect it to be, and usually has a recognizable name, too! (Well, except maybe the Tree Monster :--))

Happened something similar but in less time and many DAWs in between. I switched from FL because it was not intuitive for me, but Bitwig gave me an efficent workflow.

Can you modulate left and right separately without the stereo split container?

@@AlexReidStudios and for me those are often the ones that I would like to have mapped to a controller the most for live sets playing... often its those that for example regenerate some random data, for some reason - I noticed this repeatedly, its those "out of the box" that dont fall into the category of classic 128 CC functions / generic traditional hardware controls.. i.e. XO and switching between new sets of random samples or beat patterns.. :( id fukin love that mapped for live play, tried many workarounds, gave up

@@ancientbohemianthat’s more a plug-in developer problem than it is a bitwig one. Bitwig has its architecture set in a very open way. 3rd party Plug-ins often don’t.
