Hey folks,
I'm in the process of building a song production template in Bitwig. So far I've included EZdrummer and Addictive Drums as my primary starting tools for the drum tracks. Any of you guys making extensive use of the drum machine or the sampler devices that comes with Bitwig?

Also if you use any other plugin for drums, please share the details here as it may suit my workflow as well as others who may be interested.

I tend to stick whatever built-in drum module or whatever for every DAW with the exception of maybe Maschine here and there.

What I like about Drum Machine is that like Ableton it's pre-routed so every pad has their own track channel in the mixer. With multitimbral instruments you need to do this by hand. Also being able to use all the modulation devices, effects chains etc. So I tend to just use Drum Machine in Bitwig even if that means I have to manually recreate drum kit or two.

Thanks for your insight on the Drum Machine. I may have to give a deeper look. I have a ton of kits from my Akai MPC-X that I'm thinking might be a good idea to build presets for the Drum Machine. I tend to use the MPC-X primarily in standalone so it would be nice to have access to my drum kits in Bitwig when I'm away from the MPC.

There's a dedicated Bitwig forum here, so my advice would be to ask there:

Thanks for sharing that link. It's a great resource for Bitwig presets.

What do you use in Bitwig to build your drum tracks?
