I hope you all have a good start into the new year. Many many thanks you for your support in 2022 and see you on the other side. 🙏
(New Year's resolution: I should pay more attention to my health and sleep schedule.)

Of course you can download all the Bitwig projects for my latest release here if you want:
In this video I build the fourth tune to an EP that will be released in January. But in essence, I want to demonstrate that it's better to focus on the essentials in the beginning and leave the details for later. During the tinkering, I explain why I do what and how. Maybe there are a few things that interest you.

Four new polistyle Ambient Beats tracks are available on Bandcamp. Spotify & Co following later. Have a great xmas everyone and I hope you'll enjoy.
In this distopian future, the skies are constantly gray and gloomy, as rain pounds the concrete streets of the sprawling metropolis. The city is controlled by a handful of corrupt corporations, who use their power and influence to exploit and oppress the masses.
Despite the bleakness of their circumstances, ...
In this video, im demonstrating how to use a plug-in called Radio to listen to radio stations in a Digital Audio Workstation (DAW). Showing how to select different genres and radio stations, as well as how to save clips from the radio and drag them into a sampler. I also demonstrate how to use a pitch map or retune for pitch correction, as well as how to use a convolution reverb and auto leveler. I use tomophone and synth to create some music with the radio samples.

Why you maybe don't need a compressor in Bitwig (or modular environment)

"Convolution is a mathematical operation that is commonly used in the field of digital signal processing. In the context of audio, convolution is used to produce a filtered version of an input signal. In a convolutional neural network, convolution is used to extract features from the input signal and build a model that can be used to make predictions or classify the input data.
When working with audio, convolution is typically performed by first dividing the input signal into sho...

I started a playlist on my Guide channel, for the Bitwig Grid. Atm only 4 videos, also hidden from the public. I will update every wee with new content. It would be immensely helpful if you could point out when I'm rushing too much over certain points or just skipping stuff. Please let me know, so I can correct it or double down in new videos.
The playlist and the videos will be public at some point.

Yesterday I built a generative Grid patch. Today I tried to give it a bit more intention with the help of touchOSC. The Grid is playing synths, bass and percussions. The kick, snare and hihats are separate tracks, but only small clips, where I can influence the pattern and velocity via note repeaters.
TouchOSC is just mapped via midi to Bitwig. You can watch me building the Grid in this video: https:...
Join me in the video through the grid. Im using two unusual methods of creating melody & rhythm. You can download the patch as always on github: https://bit.ly/3uttQSh

You don't always need to buy expensive gear to achieve great results. With simple tricks and modern, limitless technology, you can often achieve much more and interesting things.

This preset does for audio what the Clock Quantizer does for clock triggers. It delays audio until the next beat grid event. Use it to get correct sample start points or to quantize percussion loops. Download: http://bit.ly/3gsIeqB

"De-essing (also desibilizing) is any technique intended to reduce or eliminate the excessive prominence of sibilant consonants, such as the sounds normally represented in English by "s", "z", "ch", "j" and "sh", in recordings of the human voice. Sibilance lies in frequencies anywhere between 2 and 10 kHz, depending on the individual voice." https://bit.ly/3i5ImwF

Frequency Shifter of Bitwig Studio.
"Frequency Shifter is a device which raises or lowers the frequency of an input signal. It does this using a complex amplitude modulation like technique. Unlike the pitch shifter, the frequency shifter does not preserve the harmonic relationships between the various tones and harmonics in the input signal. Because of this, sounds processed by a frequency shifter start to sound very unnatural with only a small amount of shift. However, unlike th...

I had a few ideas over the last few days about how to abuse the new Spectral Devices. One of them is to use the Loud Split device as a mixing tool. I'll try to replace the DSEQ3 with Loud Split in the next tracks.

"In signal processing, a comb filter is a filter implemented by adding a delayed version of a signal to itself, causing constructive and destructive interference. The frequency response of a comb filter consists of a series of regularly spaced notches in between regularly spaced peaks (sometimes called teeth) giving the appearance of a comb." https://bit.ly/3EI2bmn

4 All-Pass in a Box.
More info on difference comb vs all-pass: In plain English (more or less), "comb" has separate gain controls for the direct, delayed, and fedback & delayed (direct, feedforward and feedback, respectively) versions of the signal. The "allpass", on the other hand locks the direct and feedback gain together. The allpass will typically be more stable than the comb, as the allpass always balances these two signals whereas with the comb you can get far more v... 2022-11-17 12:20:58 +0000 UTC View Post

I made a video about the Spacer Reverb from Spectral Plugins that I use often. They offered me a sponsorship, but I declined. I would have made a video anyway and I think it's good to show how I use it.
I am also trying to remove my face from the thumbnails. I get there often comments that people do not like it.
On the one hand, my face was a kind of logo (which I do not have) to have a certain recognition value. On the other hand, videos with faces are simply clicked more o...

My Idea for today was to create ambient with 170bpm beats aka. Drum & Bass. But I started with a Grid patch first. There is a lot of talk on certain points about cheesyness, how to make polarity tracks, harmony theory and ranting about my mic.
3:06 First Track - High Speed Ambient - Drum & Bass - Generative things + bassline and some drums. 170bpm
