In this video I show how Bitwig's easy routing and handling of VSTs with multiple outputs can speed your production workflow. I'm in the earliest stages of composing a new song, and I need to set some initial gain-staging for the project based on the kick and snare drum in a VPS-Avenger drum kit.

Normally this is a pain to do in tools like Maschine and Kontakt and VPS-Avenger, etc. unless you first stem out the major drums sounds and move them out of the VST and into the DAW so you can manipulate the various stems individually. But Bitwig's easy handling of multiple outputs from VSTs like these allow you to do all this much faster without wasting time importing stems in the early stages of production.
You can do this same type of routing in Ableton Live, but it's slower and more tedious. Also, Ableton has a hard limit of 16 multi-outs that it can "see", but Bitwig can manage unlimited multi-outs. For VPS-Avenger, this is an important advantage for Bitwig, because Avenger has a total of 17 possible multi-outs, so you cannot process Avenger correctly in Ableton Live.
