The All In One Source Bitwig Information & Speculation Thread

[Andywanders]

The little devil was somehow fascinated by my AKG 701 back when I visited a friend in Split/Croatia.

Cat's are permanently tripping...

Good to know Andy, so there actually is an offline bounce in place mode right? what about the multiband comp, could you check that out for me please?

Yes to "bounce in place". Right-click clip, select "Bounce". The track is converted to a hybrid track, and the clip is now an audio clip.

Multiband compressor - I can't see one, but it would be possible to create one using the "split" FX device, which has a frequency setting to split the high/low frequencies to user defined FX chains.

So I don't know if they are planning to add a dedicated multiband comp, seems they have the capability already just that the specific device isn't included at this point.

Peace,
Andy.

I really like the idea of the bounce in place... Sounds like Reaper, but I always wanted that capability in Live. Very nice.

One thing I've always thought was sorely missing in Live is the ability to bounce in place on a drum pad. For example you have some synth effects loaded on a pad as a one shot hit and want to convert it to a sample. That's where bounce in place would be most useful and where you'd most often want it quickly I think. Maschine does this, it's very handy.

I have to admit, since I was scorned by bitwig from getting the beta, I can't even relate to 99% of what is being said. You might as well be talking in a foreign language.

Same here. I keep asking questions about audio function and so far those have gone unanswered. Everything seems to be 'what about this function in Live, is it in Bitwigitty?'

I dig the folks that use Live both live and recording, but my brain never really grok'ed with the function of it.

All the pretty lights and colors have me interested - just saying. And I like to mess with automation but mostly with audio, not midi. I use microphones to sing and bang on things with strings to generate audio. Is there a place for Bitwig for someone like me.

Praying that one of the unscorned Beta testers that care about audio will reply this time.....

Audio recording and editing would be of paramount concern.

I answered your question some while ago (page 68). For more, I need better questions.

Cheers,

Okie dokie

Looks like a "poof" thread happened. Ah, the bitwig lolzes and mystic continue......the legend grows

[topaz]

I seem to remember a new host being mentioned round about the same time Steinberg updated pro 12 to pro 24, I think it was early to mid 1990's 

is this the same product ? 

[Echoes in the Attic]

Andy made it sound like you could switch either way, which I'm very curious if I read that into what he said or if that's what he meant. In Studio One you can convert midi to audio, then cut, move and edit the audio and then convert back to midi. So it's like a freeze where you can actually move the audio around. If this is how bitwig works, I'll be in heaven.

Andy, sorry to pester. But I did I understand you right with regard to midi bouncing to audio being able to go back to midi again?

cheers

Definite on this.

So this is the master Bitwig thread. The one and only. With cats n dogs n lolzes AND professional discussion. All the other threads trying to get a piece of the cake vanish in ban doom or deletion.

This isn't entirely correct, but that's my fault for creating the wrong impression.

First, a Hybrid track makes it possible to have audio clips and MIDI clips on the same track. Clip follow behaviour will cycle through both types, which means some clips could be live and some as pre-rendered audio. Any FX that follow the instrument will be shared by both the instrument and the audio. Any FX contained in the instrument object will only be used by the instrument when the MIDI clip is playing.

Depending on the content in a Hybrid track, it is possible to change the track back to an Instrument (MIDI) track, or to an Audio track. I'm guessing that Hybrid tracks require more CPU, otherwise why bother making the distinction at all.

So when there is no audio clip on a hybrid track it is possible to change the track type to an instrument track. After doing this for the first time I thought the original MIDI clip could be switched between audio / midi in real time but that does not seem to be the case.

Still learning ...

Peace,
Andy.

There is one other.....

Thank God for that. Maybe now some will actually let it go and move on.
