[frankramrath]

Obwohl in englisch, habe ich hier soviele Dinge gelernt, die ich in einem halben Jahr noch nicht entdeckt habe. Alleine die Audio Editing Features sind genial.
Wenn man ordentlich DAW nutzen will, ist Bitwig auf jedenfall kein Fehler. Sicherlch haben Live und Cubase auch Funktionen, die andere DAWs nicht haben, aber die
Besonderheiten von Bitwig wie Grid und Hybrid Spuren, und der Funktionsumfang and Tools, Sounds und Möglichkeiten ist beachtlich.
Danke für das super Video. Thank you for this cool video. I will see it again. So many FEatures to learn and have fun with.

This is by far the best tutorial for people who start with BITWIG!!!

[kencolley]

I can't tell you how helpful this video has been, it has opened my eyes to so may things I wouldn't have even thought to even look for, mind blowing! Thank you!

[ChrisPierreSound]

Giving Bitwig a try. This is hands down the best tutorial video for any DAW ive ever come across.

[liothomasart]

This thing with a launchpad is way more enticing than Ableton with Push. Bitwig sound design capabilities is just insane. Add CLAP over it...game over.

[floridaman]

I could watch 100+hrs of this. This is the perfect format for learning Bitwig and music production in general which I have struggled with both, on and off for years. I would pay money for more of this.

[stuartmccallum]

Worth mentioning that the hybrid tracks are incredibly useful! I use bitwig to sequence a lot of hardware synths, and if there’s a portion of the track where you want to manually control the cutoff knob to build up a drop, but you’re still in the process of arranging your track etc, you could real time bounce-in-place just that one section and leave midi on all the rest of your track to continue editing in variation or shifting things around.

I just wanted to share what has been a real game-changer for me by switching to bigwig. One license allows you to run it on up to 3 computers. I have one installed on my windows PC, one on my Mac mini, and yet another one on my Debian Linux laptop (which had to be converted to Linux because Windows 10 slowed it down too much). I couldn’t be happier. I’ve licensed about 9 different DAW products over the past 2 decades and I can honestly say I am thrilled with Bitwig. It’s not perfect but it’s the best fit for me. I still load up Studio One when I record bands or have to do tempo mapping with warp markers but I’m happy to pull the results into BW and continue from there. It’s the best creative tool for music production.

Very nice Tutorial. For those who are considering Bitwig but have problems figuring out everything:
I know the frustration, especially if you are switching from FL-Studio and Cubase. You open the program and play around a bit then can't find something and alt-F4 with frustration.

To overcome this, try to make one of your project (done in your FL or Cubase or whatever.) you will go back and forth but only this way the bitwig makes its sense and will become fun.

Yes the piano roll lacks somethings. The automation are different. there is no theme editor (yet), it does not have the fluid transport like FL and so on, but it has absolutely awsome features and for me, I feel safe and organized when I am trying to arrange the project.
Just spend 2 weeks and then you'll have fun with it.

I've got Bitwig, since I wanted to stay Linux. Now if I'd have to go Mac / Win, I'd still use Bitwig. When you use it there will be a point of no return, it will win your heart. Didn't expect that from a piece of software.

[MrStupidHead]

THIS is the bitwig training I wanted. I've been having a hard time getting off the ground in BW. But this really pulls it all together. I'm saving this one to the desktop. A ton of valuable information within. Thanks guys.

[synthoelectro]

a day or a month wouldn't go by where I was really gaining inspiration from working on music and Ableton would crash on me, just took the wind right out of my sails, but Bitwig, man.. What a find years ago. This video has helped me understand the real power of this DAW. So glad to have this wealth of info.

[sheskimusic]

Well, this sealed the deal. Am jumping into Bitwig and giving Studio One a break. Excellent tutorial. Thank you.

1:03:03 Missed opportunity for “Fold to Cakes” 🎂 Thanks for having me Gear4Music!

[Tom_Dittrix]

i already finished a few tracks in Biitwig 4, but i learned a lot! special thanks to Pat, he is awesome!

[rjbush]

Bitwig is awesome. You can go so deep with modulating anything and everything. The Grid is great for sound design. I seldom use other plugins with it and roll my own.

[chitlun]

Last December, for my birthday, I treated myself… I decided I’d had enough of Windows 10 and bought an M1 Mac Mini, Bitwig Studio and upgraded VCV Rack 2 to the VST version… Frankly, as far as sound design on a computer is concerned, the best move I have ever made. Bitwig and VCV were made for each other (Omri Cohen has an excellent video on this pairing) and there aren’t enough hours in the day to explore the possibilities but, holy shit is there some serious fun to be had! The Hardware modules in Bitwig are brilliant as well as they combine the midi out/audio return in one plug in so, if I want to bring in an external synth, I simply chuck a HW module into a track and there it is, no messing. I have all my hardware permanently wired up to an 8 channel interface so they’re always in the same inputs… Excellent video Alex 👍

[MarcelousTV]

I installed my copy of BitWig on my M1 Mac Mini over 5 months ago and have just now started to commit to the switch. This video solidified my solidarity letting me know that I have made the right choice, without question. This just let me know how truly far ahead, BitWig is of the pack. Im beyond excited to dive in to this Awesomeness! Great Video!!

[jeffreyhanc]

Thanks for this! Longtime Studio One user here a bit underwhelmed by their recent upgrades, sniffing around, curious...

[johnghadimi]

this was amazing. the best tutorial on Bitwig. Period.
