Tips and tricks for bitwig studio
- vocoder applies harmonic effect of a modulator onto the carrier signal
- playing around with note effects
- microtonal pitch filters
- dribble / ricochet
- velocity curve
- arpeggiator
- bend
- humanize
- modulators
- ADSR modulator can sidechain reverb easily
- knob to map multiple effects on one axis
- XY to map multiple effects on two axes
- the grid
- basic use of math to generate sequences
- fx grid to get really crazy effects
- just using the grid to set up multiple oscillators like any fm or wavetable synth
bitwig note expressions to map velocity/timbre to stuff ADSR is also interesting for this, if u dont want to deal with automations being kind of messy to deal with (even with a macro or XY)
hard with audio tho, need to do some scuffed self-sidechain shit. or just sampler it into an intrument and use note modulator???
- actually envelope follower does self-sidechain easily!!
note modulators can be per-voice which is interesting
- default automation lane checks last knob you touched
- alt to curve automations
- add macros to plugins with too many knobs for most commonly turned ones
- can have this apply to any instance of plugin
- can also do this for chain or other containers, and save it for just the preset
- soft clip + transient processing drums
- saturate hard with hp filter, then mix in parallel with dry signal
- save as default preset
enable playhead following in bottom right of arranger
