Just prepare to using workarounds if you work with video. Touchdesigner integration is cool and free, but this script doesn’t work well with tempo changes (at least the sudden and drastic ones).
I was looking up some EQ matching mixing techniques for the past week. And this is exactly what I needed. This is some bitwig exclusive mixing tips and tricks. Thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge polarity. In a few years from now when a lot more people switch to Bitwig they are going to look through all your videos you've posted till now. These are gold.
Gonna put the eq in a chain, loud split in a chain with mix turned all the way down with tool visualizer in the loud split going back to the eq and save that main chain as a preset, thanks for the idea! Ill just save it with a name that appears at the top of plugin loading '0 EQ Visualizer' or something with a macro that adjust loud split threshold and smoothing
It would be the perfect theme for sci-fi music. 👍 But I must say that for me, Bitwig = orange, so blue looks strange. Like a blue orange (the fruit that is).
Damn. Your awesome deep understanding of Bitwig in combination with all your experience in sound design and the frequency (mix and mastering) is still a gem for all of us.. thank you.
The only thing I regret about after switching to Bitwig is the lack of video support. The Touchdesigner script works, but only if you don’t use tempo changes - as soon as you introduce them, tempo automation fails at automation line key points. Especially if the changes are drastic. For now I reverted back to using the quite clunky VidPlay, but I really hope they’ll fix the script.
Nice work my man, love these ideas. The resonator ambient stuff through PaulStretch was beautiful, have to use that myself sometimes. When I see some of your videos like this I often wonder why any electronic/ambient producers are using any other DAWs except Bitwig Studio. Stuff like this would probably convert some people I hope.
By the way, your first EQ/Loud Split idea was very cool for mixing to a kind of pink noise curve...Do you know any way to send those exact EQ peaks that show when they cross the threshold to say the sidechain input of Soothe 2, so that then Sooth 2 automates and removes the exact frequencies? You would think Soothe 2 would have this curve built in, or a preset exactly for this purpose, but I haven't been able to find one.
Man, seeing bitwig with the colors shifted got me feeling some type of way. I’d really like if we had the option to customize the UI. Still not as much as I’d like a UI designer for grid devices though.
I got Ableton 12 , I like some of the generative stuff they have , I didn’t not use it as much as I use the probability engine with recurrence in Bitwig. Also , modulation in Ableton feels broken compared to Ableton. There is no bounce in place either! That is key for my workflow. Although the MaxforLive ecosystem is exciting , it really made me realize how Bitwigs devices are very well thought out.
Great video, Polarity! For equalization I usually use Carve EQ from Kilohearts. He does pink noise matching very well. + I can edit the curve. But I really liked the method you suggested and am going to try it. And at 12 minutes you literally came up with an effect for color bass. lol
If Bitwig made some sort of integrated hardware version like Push 3 I would be compelled to switch over. I love both Ableton and my Push but it feels like it’s held together with duct-tape at times. This video shows that this software was designed with certain features in mind from the go and integrated intelligently.
Important to point out that the devices shown (the splitters) are all stock devices in bitwig (think they come with the priced upgrade, but I guess most users have that anyways). Others pay hundreds of bucks and then they only have an equalizer that does transient split and not a generic 'put everything you want' transient split.
great video! thanks. meanwhile me waiting since 4 years for video supprt and better bounce options and the option to move clips with arrow keys. AAAAARhg
You can receive audio input from the front of the chain by moving the tool ahead??? In which other cases is this trick going to work? Is it necessary for the tool to go into the fx chain of whichever plugin is ahead in the chain?
I have a question about using the loud split to reduce the volume of peaks... if something is 1dB over the line and it's reduced by 6dB, won't it end up much lower than the line? I mean, it's not reducing it within the range above the line, it's just subtracting 6dB, right? I would have thought this would cause problems with the sound, as it's not really acting like a compressor but something much more intrusive.
Yes, everything that's above the threshold gets selected as a frequency bin. If you then subtract 6dB, it ends up further below the threshold. You have to be careful with that. Like I said, if you mute the loud chain, the bin gets completely removed.
Hmm this kinda looks like what studio one does with the Eq? Where you click side chain and select an input or another track and the frequencies show up on the eq with the current track.? So is this also dynamic eq?
this video has fully convinced me to switch from ableton to bitwig
you wont regret it

@@johnmiller19925 if you only work with sound design then all that video crap is never needed , but it all depends on your need for sure

The blue theme could be a thing actually. They really should implement some theming in the next version.

How to change theme color? Please
@@carl-tctwit is just a video filter here.
@@mudi2000a ah dam i was sooo excited, i thought they'd just released theming that i never knew about :( was so so excited
The Abuse Police said it's legit ! thanks again. the loudsplit tip is excellent
Wow, that ambient drone tip is GOLD. Thank you! Voice stacking is so powerful.
The testtone-resonator-drone sounds amazing! Thanks for sharing.

Please tell us how you managed to change the colors on your DAW? Do you have like an exclusive version?
he shifted the hue in video editing software
@DataBroth wrong, its Bitwig 10 beta 🤣
@@PolarityMusic yay!
@@PolarityMusic Either they are thinking way ahead or you are trying to hint something at the Bitwig team. 🤪
Still haven't regretted switching from Ableton to BigWig, so much I need to learn! It can do soooo much.

These new video titles are brilliant
Mister Polarity you are a real wizard of dreams cape sound engineering without any doubt and a Bitwig Wizzard !!! Mesmerizing Result !
ur a genius Polarity
I've instantly opened my Bitwig just to check if there's an update with new feature (the color scheme)

if you put a tool device in the loud "box" you should be able to grab that with the sidechain selector of soothe!
Yea, agree Bitwig is made for ambient and everything sound design related! It probably takes time until everyone gets it 😘
Ugh. That ambience... 🤤

That’s awesome . Makes me feel you could use same technique to see what a plug-in is doing to the sound like plug-in doctor
very inspiring and very nice ambient part. Thanks!
Damn you with your colours! 😂
🤣
great to have you online, danke
Wow!! Nice!
Great sounds and thanks for showing. Bitwig is very new for me, so this is perfect
The video tiltles :D I have to admit I can´t resist to click them. Class A bait :D

Check out the implementation of Push in Bitwig by Driven by Moss. I think (not sure, tho) that he already updated his script to support Push 3.
Amazing as always ❤

very very very cool tricks
Great content! Subscribed a while back, good to see the growth! Thank you for the hard work!!

Polarity - where did you get that Bitwig theme for the interface (blues and purples) ?
You can receive audio input from the front of the chain by moving the tool ahead??? In which other cases is this trick going to work? Is it necessary for the tool to go into the fx chain of whichever plugin is ahead in the chain?
Nobody can "fool" bitwig like polarity
Nice ideas!
wow 😮 amazing 💯🚀
woow🤩

I don’t understand what the tilt function is, could someone explain?
It tilts the analyser graph
Can't be that hard to enable us to use blue color instead of orange right ? great video
Genius!
How did you change the Paul X Stretch 14:25 into an FX Layer so quickly?
ctrl/cmd + G ?
Bitwig slaps; Polarity slaps it back 😄✌️
It's smurf Polarity today!
...what did u with bw's gui colours...?
@polarity quick question: where do you see how much latency is introduced by a device?
select the track, and look to the left in the inspector, below all insert fx there is the latency in "ms"
@@PolarityMusic so simple, still totally missed that. Thanks!
HOW YOU BLUE?!!?!
I have a question about using the loud split to reduce the volume of peaks... if something is 1dB over the line and it's reduced by 6dB, won't it end up much lower than the line?

I would have thought this would cause problems with the sound, as it's not really acting like a compressor but something much more intrusive.
Yes, everything that's above the threshold gets selected as a frequency bin. If you then subtract 6dB, it ends up further below the threshold. You have to be careful with that. Like I said, if you mute the loud chain, the bin gets completely removed.
@@PolarityMusic Thank you for clarifying!

I think the colors are inverted.

Hi I have a question, are you part of the bitwig development?
I say this out of curiosity
I don't think he's a dev but I think some of his presets have been included in bitwig
Noice!
Bitwig still hurts my brain even after a full year in 😵💫😵💫😵💫
Please Polarity kind sir, have mercy on Bitwig and stop this crazy abuse. (Please continue crazy abuse.)
No offence by any means, this theme is legit colorblind mode.
