I _almost_ hate that I've become _that_ guy, but: After years of believing and attempting otherwise, I finally concluded that physical modular is only good for three things: 1. analog feedback patching, 2. dedicated physical controls, 3. custom all-in-one synths/grooveboxes. Physical modular is literally the worst of all worlds in every other way. Go with software, modular or otherwise, for everything else. You'll save your money for great monitors, controllers, and a new god-level audio workstation, you'll save your mind for creativity, and you'll save your time for actually making music.
It's unbelievable the number of hostile comments on this video. Marc freely admits that he is still getting used to Bitwig, and the video is him highlighting pain points that he has come across. While it is true that some of the things exist but are different, and it is clear Marc is still on his journey, there are indeed frustrating missing features and annoyances. People rushing in with ad-hominem attacks first and saying he needs to RTFM or go use another DAW are extremely discouraging to see. As I said, hostile. My interpretation, watching the video is it is a video from someone trying to wrap their head around the product, and simply being open about their experiences. There is nothing wrong with that. Larger companies pay good money for this kind of customer feedback on user experience, so from my perspective it is good that this exists.
I have a JP8000 and feel that I need to add a lot of reverb to make it sit well with other instruments, what external effects do you find useful for it?
I agree, adding extra reverb diffuses the sound even further. Also boosting bass and treble on the JP always adds something exciting. In my video I was using the Digitakt‘s reverb and delay.
Re: Problem 1, use the inspector on the left. After you've figured out your sampled track's tempo, you can just type it into the clip's tempo field. Done. The entire track will be strethed to your project tempo. No need to mess around with the stretch markers.
80% of issues are not issues, they are just "you are not used to Bitwig yet" things. Melodyne like tool is the major thing which Bitwig or Ableton should work on. Both DAWs don't seem to include this necessary functionality. Even Reaper has it's own melodyne like pitch correction plugin.
Ableton is stil lfar superior in the very high end of production but Bitwig is just so much nicer to use, i am actually switching back to Ableton after 5 years Bitwig, i still use Ableton for so many thing bitwig just cant do
strg+Enter in Bitwig opens commander, the most important thing when learning bitwig. you can search anything there and see the shortcut/name or click on the function and more, learn the commander asap! the mapping of Bitwig is extremely powerful because you can map almost anything, you can search for either the functioin or the shortcut, you can save it in a profile file,
12. i mapped a shortcut to "Global Solo Off" , i used shift+S to un-solo everything i also mapped S to "Toggle Track Solo" also to emulate the Ableton function of S to solo current track, i also have C to mute
11. Toggle button, Yes there is, i loved that function from Ableton as well. just map your 0 to "Toggle Active" it works on clips tracks plugins etc, super useful
6. Arranger/Mixer overview hmm i don'T see anything bitwig could not do in the mixerview it is basically the same, ofc you have to hide your clips and in/out and show the plugins, bitwig has the track controls in the mixer as well, huge meters etc, oyu can adjust width etc, should be no hassle, just try out different buttons to show hide things.
5. you have to favorite your plugins / create collections, then you can drag them in or doubleclick from the right side just like in ableton, except you have as many "colors" as you want, you can even save different snappshots of the collection or search there (check the rightclick menu) Bitwig had a perfect system but they decided to complicate things with the new terrible browser, you will get through it over time and it will work fine, it's just a lot initially
1. i only watched the first complaint, you are doing it wrong. instead of markers, plainly duplicate the whole track first just to find out the exact bpm. you cut away the intro/garbage till the beats start and consolidate now you put the start on 0 and now the crucial part, you shift drag the tempo numbers to fine adjust, (in the top left corner in your video). you also have to start the drag on the rightmost number as this will be a difference in how fine it changes. lastly you can cmd click to type in values, and this one goes in far more detail than what is showed, you can go many decimals more resolution when you found the exact tempo you adjust it on the original one with a copy paste, now everything is "extrapolated" how you wanted it.
You aren't mentioning about the freeze option in Ableton. I've been requesting this option THOUSAND of times. And people just don't get how easy is just to freeze a channel and don't have to bounce it, disable a track. that occupies space in the arrangement view. I've been using bitwig since 2014! I don't understand when will this freeze option come.
On your first point. Something is up with your import settings because it should just detect the tempo and work pretty well. Regarding the stretching there is a function called scale 50 and 200 that you can set a keyboard shortcut. There’s a difference between onsets and warping as well. Find the start point of where you want it to fix and then create the end point so that wait it’s constrained. You can also right click and quantize audio or type in the og tempo in the inspector if you get a wonky import. I never get bogged down by audio warping like this
About the tempo, switch the inspector on and you see all the information 😉 additionally you can change a lot of things within the loop direct in the inspector 👍🏻
Dude why don't you just remove the scenes from the mixer view and drag the faders up? You can also add Big Meters for full control of mixing. Nothing wrong with the mixer imho. I agree, the browser on the right-hand side just doesn't make sense, but create your own collections and add them as shortcuts to the left-hand side so you can quickly access your favorite plugins and presets.
@@MarcRenton Strange, It's always been the tab key for me. There's some really cool shortcuts for Bitwig. I've found one that allows me to open the selected device, solo selected track, move notes around, shorten lengthen, duplicate etc.
I heard their sound also came from putting whole track in to roland S-760 rack sampler and put it thru. It was not just alesis 3630 or mackie 1604 or roland S-760. It was all that stuff and who knows what else combined
Hii since you have such a massive hardware collection I would like to ask which nord lead is best for trance music? A1 NORD LEAD 2X NORD LEAD 3 NORD LEAD 4 AS I AM LOOKING FOR A HARDWARE THAT RULES IT ALL... Reason being as I cant Find a virus I am switching to nord lead...
But I only have one Nordlead 😂 I always wanted to have a Nordlead 3 because of the interface, but I ended up finding the A1 on eBay relatively cheap. I would assume they all sound similar if not the same, but different feature set.
when you change layout to mixer,you can close clip launcher then you can see it like logic ,the button is on the left of you first track (you can see an AB icon,youcan try the buttons
