Welcome to the bitwig world. You're gonna have a blast with the modulation capabilities. I have stopped buying plug-ins and make everything entirely in the box.
For realistic sounding imitations of actual instruments, like strings, brass, pianos etc... I still use kontakt and roland stuff, but if you're staying strictly in electronic music territory, there's literally zero reason to use synth vsts, because bitwig has it all. I love it so much!
If you are a synthesizer enthusiast, Bitwig is truly a one-stop shop. It's like Reaktor on easy-mode with quicker results, and I've used Reaktor. Great synthesizer work has been created with far less. I'm sure a Poly-Grid wizard can create some physical modelling stuff that allows synthesized orchestral sounds -- maybe one day. Bitwig Studio edition does feature some high-fidelity multi-sampled orchestral sounds, but they are strictly combination patches. If you are serious about orchestral arranging, you need to look elsewhere for solo or individual ensemble patches (example: ONLY the french horns, or ONLY an oboe, etc.)
Modulation ain’t everything. Especially tedious to use one like in itwig. No thanks. I prefer to use 3rd party plugins cause I can detach interface and adjust several plugins parameters at the same time. No need to point out that I can do that with macros on track because it’s not a solution but tedious useless workaround. Like pretty muck everything itwig bitwig community come up with. Sorry, forgot. Best daw ever. What a great update! Shit mantra though…
@@vroteg I really don't understand your criticism. 3rd party plugins can be viewed simultaneously, so you can adjust several plugin parameters at the same time? I'm sorry, but you can only click and drag one knob at the time with your mouse, 3rd party or no. So you literally can't adjust them 'at the same time'. And assigning macros is a perfectly reasonable solution for this. If you know you use VST X and VST Y all the time, you can save them as presets with the macros already assigned to the parameters you use most often, for example cutoff, resonance etc... Then it literally takes 2 clicks to adjust the parameter if you have a different track selected, 1 click if you have the relevant track selected. You're telling me 2 clicks is too much menu diving for you? How? Do you usually control the DAW telepathically or something? This is how adjusting parameters works in all DAWS. You click the device you want to control, you adjust the parameter. Ofc you can have all your VSTs open on a separate monitor for absolute optimization, to use only 1 click per adjustment at all times, but most people use so many plugins and devices, that no monitor can accommodate them all simultaneously, so I don't understand what your problem is. And lastly, HOW IS BITWIG'S MODULATION TEDIOUS? It's literally the most optimized modulation system in the world. It is physically impossible to streamline it more. To modulate any parameter, you click a modulator, and then click the parameter. Literally 2 clicks. One click for the modulator. One for the parameter. You literally cannot make it simpler than this, because modulation always needs a modulator, and a modulated parameter. In bitwig this works with 2 mouse clicks. How on earth would you make it less tedious? This is the most efficient way possible to modulate things. If you don't like playing around with modulation, just say so. Because saying Bitwig's modulation system is tedious, is objectively talking absolute nonsense.
Adding scaler in front of the instrument is one of the things I really like about Bitwig as well. I get you big time on that. Studio one or Ableton is another annoying method to get this to work which involves having two tracks… yup
I mention this in comments from time to time. Try triple view mode on a 65” Sony tv. Put the mixer up top. Arrange on the left and piano roll to the right
Bitwig has a very hand made feel too it. It doesn't feel like a program. It feels like a synthesizer I can actually use. It makes you want to to play with it. Rather than program it.
Bitwig is next level! Been using it for 3 years...nothing else compares to its built-in features and modulators, drum machines, grids, etc. it's new compressor+ effects are 🔥 for mastering 💪
The grid will keep you up all night, building ridiculous contraptions that make impossible sounds. The Sampler though, is my favorite part of Bitwig. You can drag pretty much anything into it and create some pretty cool sounds. Phase 4 is my favorite synth. Takes a minute to get used to FM synthesis, but once you do, it's dope. If you have the reason rack plugin, it works great in Bitwig and it's easy to use the players like beatmap with the Bitwig drum machine and create algorithmic drums. I use that for a starting point sometimes.
@@jonirischx8925 Reason, for example, is better for electronic music. Pro Tools is better for rock music and live tracking of instruments, that's what the question means. People generally swing towards a certain DAW depending on their style of music.
@@jamman6 Except that this is not true. There is nothing inherently in ProTools that makes it more geared towards rock music. You're talking about certain communities favoring certain DAWs, like FL being popular among hip hop producers. But people like Benn Jordan (who has never made hip hop) use FL. And the same is true of every DAW. Every DAW can record audio. So just use whatever DAW seems attractive to you in terms of its features, and play your guitar. It makes no difference.
Hilarious!...I was at work in a room with tons of echo......i wont be back at that location for probably another 6 months....i had to get them vids in tho lmao!
First of all. I’m a Bitwigger. And YOU show and praise Bitwig with a bunch of 3rd party plugins, the midi chord packs? Dive deeper and explore the real power of Bitwigs modulation system, the art of using grids, the powerful sampler (looking handsome on first view) and combine that all together.
Mr brother you spoke well, but I saw you running around the table, studio one not ok, Cubase not ok, now you are on Bitwig studio teaching me the same thing I can do in Cubase and Studio one, DAW doesn't make music but Human make music, everything thing you are teaching here I can do all that in Cubase.
Sorry, but Bitwig is unfinished behind its bling-bling marketing. That would be acceptable if they would improve the core of their DAW instead of adding bells and whistles that are badly integrated. It was marketed as a Live killer and we end up with an evoluted toy.
@@GameWise214 It's not THAT bad, it has few very specific things that the devs are either taking years to fix or straight up keep making excuses to not fix. some people get caught into one or some of those problems and start to hate the development over time lol

@@GameWise214 simply tell us your routings instead of demonising other DAWs, everyone has his or her own DAW choice and workflows, If Cubase is bad and Studio one is bad to me that's not true, it is you, else you can write the best perfect DAW, give us your own perfect DAW. I want to assure that there is no perfect DAW out there, All DAWs has its own short comings, give us your tutorial (workflow) than speaking evil of DAWs because DAW doesn't make music but human, we haven't seen your perfect tracks on the billboard, your tutorial is good but give us good caption.
@@tonelsound you taking this way too far bro But okay….don’t tell me how to run my content, if you disapprove then move around No need to pitch a hissy fit….Im not the guy that’s just gonna sit back and let you attack because your in your feelings lil dude….
@@tonelsound It’s okay for someone to explain what they personally don’t like about a DAW. I love hearing critical points and I own Cubase Pro. Always wanting to know if there is a more intuitive program or way to get things done though.
I love how Bitwig uses sandbox to handle the VST and not crash the daw when problems arrives. Dope feature.
ThE BEST FEATURE!
What I like the most about Bitwig:
- I don't need any plugins
- the grid makes understanding how synths and effects work easier
- the modulations!
He sounds like a preacher in a mega church - with that reverb 😆
i was thinking the same thing!! lol!!!
😂

@@jonirischx8925you put some energy into That bro !! But Thank you as you basically Said what was on My mind and more … 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I like the way it does vsts! Every vst has it own recourses, that's powerful! 5.2 is here with two updates so far.
tracktion waveform 13 looks like they took some inspiration from bitwig. the mixer is set up similarly
Adding scaler in front of the instrument is one of the things I really like about Bitwig as well. I get you big time on that. Studio one or Ableton is another annoying method to get this to work which involves having two tracks… yup

5.2 is officially out now.

I love your joy, "I can actually record this shit" damn right. Love the instant routing of stuff like Scaler and Cthulhu, no messing about.
Bitwig is next level! Been using it for 3 years...nothing else compares to its built-in features and modulators, drum machines, grids, etc. it's new compressor+ effects are 🔥 for mastering 💪
I was amazed by the multiband compressor, made my track sound smooth without changing the spectral balance- quite intuitive to use.
Has the sampler got stem separation features
Welcome bro! I switched from FL 2 years ago, don't regret it for a second.
The grid will keep you up all night, building ridiculous contraptions that make impossible sounds. The Sampler though, is my favorite part of Bitwig.

Welcome to the Bitwig fam! Have fun 😎
I use FL and Bitwig never choose one just both. The piano roll in bitwig is a match with FL When you work on zoom
That was good i just download the demo version.Good video, be good to see you show people how to do a pop typebeat
Ableton gang here this is the only daw i consider to use on the side.
Will it be available for iPad?
@@kisho2679 unsure, you may wanna check the website or contact support with the Bitwig team
i wish bitwig have ara support and a vocal pitch editior
From time to time I check out Bitwig..
Is it a coincidence that Bitwig just got sync to Tempo right after FL Studio 2024 Released with that too 😂 😂 😂
Please what is the name of that Reaper theme you are using now?
Fairlight within DaVinci Resolve
How is Bitwig for recording electric or rock guitar?
@@jamman6 not sure, great question though….look around RUclips, I’m sure someone is using external gear with the Wig.💪🏽
Im sure bitwig can do anything you need it to.
What does this question even mean? You can record any guitar to any DAW by plugging in the cable to your interface. Wut
@@jonirischx8925 Reason, for example, is better for electronic music. Pro Tools is better for rock music and live tracking of instruments, that's what the question means. People generally swing towards a certain DAW depending on their style of music.

Bitwig since release in 2014
Good TEd talk.
Thanks for sharing!
ITS HERE!❤
I see you have fl studio. Keep in mind, Bitwig can open .flp files.
And ableton project files. It's just an absolute boss of a daw.
Oh wow….didn’t know that…..I have to look into that immediately!💯
Brothers on BitWig, swag. Welcome a board.
can you change to better reverb preset on your voice ?😅
Hilarious!...I was at work in a room with tons of echo......i wont be back at that location for probably another 6 months....i had to get them vids in tho lmao!
