@7:08 I was dying. This moment right here, is exactly what it's like playing around with these tools and things. I have accidentally clicked, or tweaked something and had the exact same reaction - "WHOOAH hold everything...That. Is. Awesome. Now what did I even do that made this happen...?"
Your videos are great, and this one is really useful. The only problem I have is that you (and Polarity) are so proficient in Bitwig that your 34 minute video is going to turn into a three or four hour adventure as I work through all your quick changes.
I've searched high and low there doesn't seem to be any quick ways to learn these types of complex software other than by diving in and getting experience with seat time
TÂCHES, Great video! Such a great way to simplify automating modulation; totally takes the complexity, which sometimes stifles creativity, out! I've just got into Bitwig, with version 5 and videos like this is like a kick in gut for not switching to Bitwig sooner.
"I really like the swing you put in your music projects. The automations in Bitwig make the sound result insane, the feeling is that the sound makes us want to dance even in front of the RUclips screen where I'm watching your tutorial."
So Awesome i kept doubling synth for different sounds from the same patch, never uses macro so much, no one ever showed me how much you can do with them, this awesome, dreaming of morphing my synth in unique ways, you are a ver talented teacher! Thank you!
Great video Taches, I feel like this takes the game up a notch with those transitions over time that make a track sound more cohesive and natural. Appreciate you!
This is gold, thank you. I have been using the min/max technique for some time but never preparing all before hand to have it nice and tidy for arrangement and manipulating the energy of song from there. What I am struggling with is the min/max with number of elements. I always think I need to add more sounds, more effects, more layers, more changes to not sound boring even I know it's not the case. Not sure if you already made a similar video but it would be nice to know more about the minimalist mindset. Something like Exupery's quote “Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.”

So glad you enjoyed it! I tend to be a bit of a maximalist myself so more is usually always better in my opinion. I could maybe do a video on maximalist mindset but would definitely struggle with minimalism.
Great approach. I like the idea of creating "more coolerer" knobs and fiddling with those. Everything already dialed in to ranges that sound great, just play with things to vary the piece. Lovely technique. Thank you!
Hi Taches, i know it was you but in another video in which you explained the settings of modulation knobs. But I don't now which clip on youtube it was, maybe you can help me out here when I ask you here. In this particular video I cannot find, you explained the modulation range of a modulator that you assigned to a value on a device and you had shown a short cut or a method to affect the depth of the modulation range better. As far as I remember from the video: the modulation determine mode was already switched on (with the little blue arrow icon) to specify which parameters should be affected by the modulation routing. You were still in this mode. In this mode, when you use it with a device parameter or knob, it sets the depth of the modulation. But in this video I mean (sorry, I really can't find it anymore) you explained the finding of sweet spots of the device parameter itself by playing with the device parameter while the modulation deflections could already be seen on the parameter in parallel with the little blue line. It must be a short cut or something, because normally when you are in determine mode for the modulation, you cannot change the parameter on the device itself. You must leave the mode to get back to normal mode. The nice thing with this tutorial was, that you've shown a fast way to get sweet spots when you are in modulation determine mode and changing the device parameter in parallel, because the modulation deflections also changed the position. You know what I mean? I hope i explained it with my poor english. And I hope you could help?
i think what you mean is that you have to turn the macro knob to it's maximum value before applying the amount to a Parameter, this way the the Parameter moves while you determine the Amount, this way you find the sweet spot of the maximum amount
Trying to make the bass melodic. It does help the annoying repetitive bass sound. I suggest you avoid repetition by going with four not repetitive notes. & using that for several measures. That's what I do. It's simple.
Thank you for this! Best part is you can always return back to the original without having to adjust a million knobs back! One question: is the reverb effect inserted as a send? Hence the 100% dry wet?
Question from a Bitwig newbie: Once you have the cutoffs mapped to the knobs in Polymer can you modulate those Polymer knobs with say, and LFO or something OR can you assign them to knobs on my keyboard so I can write them manually? Thanks.
3 года назад+2
Absolutely Ed! You can even automate by hand with an automation knob WHILE its also being modulated by, say, an LFO.
hey friend, how to get numbers instead of % with the automation? you see I would like to automate the restart from Diva but precisely, like 5, 7 ...can you help? thanks friend

Glad to have you back, good sir. Brilliant stuff.
Glad to be back m'lord :)
Taches is the man!

That is a game-changer for me. Such macros is what I loved the most about Maschine, and now it's even more flexible in Bitwig. Thank you for sharing!
Awesome, you could map those knobs to controllers for even more fun.
Even better!
I learned this technique from Vital Synth's macro knobs, however I'm pretty new to Bitwig, so I didn't know you could do it that way. Very cool!
Thank you so much for all of these videos. Learning a ton because of you

@ So just do everything opposite from the maximalist video :-p

Well done sir. I really dig this approach!
Even not having Bitwig, this is such a great tut for creating your own presets and how to experiment with any plugin.
extremely relevant and educational as usual.
Thank you friend :)
Didn't hit the damn bell button and missed some of your latest stuff! your vids are awesome bro!
Actually brilliant approach 👌👌👌
This is such a great idea mate.
There are no accidents, only happy little trees
And happy little clouds :D
Fantastic video, Taches. Thank you!
Brilliant! This is so helpful. Thank you!
Amazing stuff!
Thank you!
Sooo f* brilliant I'll try this out immediately in Studio One. I think I might have to pull the trigger on bitwig this year.
Another brilliant video! So much useful information in here! Bravo! 🔥

Love this, thanks!
Excellent ideas! Thanks a lot!
That, to me, is ground breaking.
This is very helpful. Thanks.
You are most welcome :)

That is just a so cool vid. Well presented and clearly explained thx
Outstanding :). Thank you!
Thanks for making my life easier
damn dude this was really good
Wowsers, stealing that!

Brilliant. Also, how far did your brisk walking take you?
would that be more practicle if we could record the automation on the fly using the knobs rather than drawing??? is that possible??

I noticed your website is down. Is there other ways to book a lesson?
Hello mate! Apologies for the delay. You can book a lesson here: calendly.com/officialtaches
Pretty cool!

@ Ah, sweet. Thanks.
Dude can you...release this track? haha - Serious vibes!!!
This is fantastic. A big thank you. A huge ah-ha moment for me!
Your patreon link is broken mate!

Awesome!!!
Emailed you Sir 😃
Got it I think!
8:03 fuck yea))
Happy accidents! Just you paint with sounds.
am i supposed to be learning something or jamming,..
It is just classic “morphing” with macros technique :)
