This is a great intro video for bitwig, I like the features you covered. One bit of feedback though is that if you increased the UI scaling factor (to say, 125%), it would make things a lot clearer to see, especially for folks that are new to this DAW. I found myself squinting at times to see what you were doing.
Absolutely incredible. Couldn't Imagine a better 30m introduction. As a beginner I've found a lot of DAWs I've tried are very unintuitive to use, but this seems to have a really straightforward UI. Can't wait to try it.
Bro... I'm a FLS and Reason pro user... I just bought BitWig... and am absolutely blown away at how easy to use it is... the UI is stunning... thank you for your help with this video!
@@Alckemy I write a lot of automation so it won't be my major issue, but I love so much Live's precision for editing audio events, moving and glitching stuff, in Bitwig I have to get used to where do I put my pointer to make what I want quickly, but there's progress every day :D
This is one of the best "getting started with..." videos I've seen on any subject. Some very basic information to get you going, some more advanced bits to whet your appetite to look deeper - using chaos for randomise velocity on the hats is golden - and a bit of a following along project so you get to the end feeling you've achieved something worth saving and looking at again later. Perfect! For myself I'm a long time user of Live but have had a few years hiatus from music and need to relearn a lot of it. Bitwig seems so much quicker than Live in workflow and it feels more like the whole program is an instrument to experiment - That's probably a bit unfair on Live - but I feel like I'll quickly achieve a lot more in Bitwig than I will in Live. For not much more than the cost of upgrading from 10 Suite to 12 Suite I can get a license for Studio so that's what I'll be doing. Thanks again for the great intro video - needless to say I've subscribed to the channel.
Oh guy, you're great. Easy like Sunday morning. There is just sooooo much here, I've already bought the tool, now for a lifetime of experiments and building. I'm already up and running, I'm going to rewatch this dozens of times for months to come. Thanks ~
Thanks! I’m glad it was easy to understand. I have a lot more tutorials on my channel that will keep expanding your skill set too. There’s an entire playlist for bitwig when you’re ready^
This is awesome. I’m just getting into electronic music and this helped tremendously. Looking forward to all your tutorials, beginner and advanced. Thank you for your time and sharing of knowledge!
As a long-time user of Logic Pro, I have never gotten as far as I have done with other alternative DAWs as I have done with Bitwig, its just so much more intuitive (without the Manual) I’ve found than say Ableton was! As much as I still like Logic, I can still find it confusing at times and I get tired of its approach to things. It was Venus Theory (Cameron’s channel) where I first encountered Bitwig and gotten me curious! I appreciate your efforts in helping me understand this refreshing DAW! Thanks 👍
@paulguy thats good to hear, im just taking the plunge today...how have you progressed in the past 4 months ? Enjoying it? Easier learning curve ? thanks
Very helpful. Thank you. Will look at all your Bitwig videos over the next week. Out of all the DAWs I've tried Bitwig right away worked with my Akai MPK mini and also has support for my NI Maschine MK3, Arturia Keylab Essential and Akai MPC Live 2. Pretty amazing!
the "weird scales and stuff" is the exact same scale as the other two. its keyboard, double key, and guitar fretboard layout. 4 Rows so E A D G stings on a bass
Yep, super useful. One or two places where you go a little too fast, but I just rewound a few seconds to see what you did. You're packing a lot of info in to some sections and I'm like whoah, how did you do that (trying to follow where your cursor was going, and guessing what key shortcuts you used), but I got there. I love the pulse feedback even in the browser menus which help you find the source bass kick to choose for input to the sidechain. I'm at a real early stage in evaluating which DAW I want to use. Started with Reaper for a while, then Ableton (got a Live Lite serial after buying a Zoom U-22 audio interface), but now finding Bitwig to be very intuitive. I have an older Novation SL25 MkII (uses Automap for VST plugins) which I've discovered will integrate really well with Bitwig DAW by using the DrivenByMoss midi controller extension (had to use v19.2.2, not the latest). Thanks for the lesson and I'll check out your other stuff!
Great video. yes more of the basics please as well as your advanced stuff. I recently got the 8 track version so am dipping into it though as a beginner I am still using Cakewalk which is where I started.
Brilliant. I've just came over from Ableton that I've not long ago grasped after using Cubase 20 years ago. I love Ableton, but Bitwig looked so cool as well. I just had to try it out. Also it was cheaper than upgrading from Ableton standard to the next jump up at £400. I didn't want the hassle of learning the basics again so this video was perfect for me. I certainly don't regret buying Bitwig. The possibilities are endless. I did a modular sounds last night and my Trax is well on the way. Your other videos will be very much appreciated as I am certainly no Wizz kid at sound design, by far. Many thanks 😊
@@Alckemy Ahh , a nice reply too. I just watched your Phase plant video. I bought that a while back but I was reduced to preset tweaking eventually. You really are the dogs nuts. Music kit has changed from my old days of a struggling computer and a sampler with my Dj~ing skills. C19 lockdown dragged me back in and I went down with a bad case of G.A.S. From mpc x to a handful of high end hardware synths plus all the software thats out there for computers that cope now. My poor head is still spinning and I am a master of none. My end results are good thankfully. So glad I found your channel, you teach well and I am getting older now.
@@jaderington hopefully with all your experience, you’ll be able to draw it all back once you get over some technical hurdles. All the information you’ve gathered is still relevant- it’s just the formulation that’s been streamlined :)
Figure out what midi notes are triggering for each of your drums and then just drag the sample to the corresponding cell in the drum machine. Should be super simple
The thing where you click to play at 4:30, roughly could be usefull if you have a touchscreen. By the way I've never touched this software, I'm just trying to figure out if I want to give this a try. That's why I have no idea what to call that.
Hope you love it! Not sure if you were talking about my affiliate link or not but bitwig no longer offers that. They do however have periodic sales, so when it’s time to upgrade consider looking for their summer sale or Black Friday ^^
I'm probably a total idiot at this arranger, but when I drag a clip from the browser into my MIDI track I can never get it to produce any sounds? For example I grab the 707 drumkit and drag a 707 HH onto the arranger. When I do this with a synth it works fine, even when I double click to make a clip in the arranger and then edit that it won't play anything!
Obrigado pelo conteúdo, adoro quando se explica de forma simples detalhes de Bitwig, e me faz apaixonar-ma ainda mais por essa daw. Fale um pouco sobre o como o Bitwig apresenta o Edit Painel no piano roll e a utilização de cor por Canal. Como utilizar essa função. Goastaria de saber se o Bitwig tem alguma ferramenta para manter as notas do piano roll numa escala harmônica pré-definida ( exemplo: Natural Menor, Cigana)
How funny is that.. I have used last 2 months trial version of bitwig.. And 4th april I have bought studio version.. 4th because that was last day free giving XO plugin with purchase.
@@Alckemy I will just say that Midi Fighter Twister has better integration with bitwig than any script written for MFT under ableton .. and the funniest thing is the novation SL MK3 which was allegedly designed in close cooperation with ableton people .. has much.. much better integration with bitwig than with ableton..
very helpful tutorial, thank you! ... Only one small quibble -- Your high resolution makes it very difficult to read anything on 16 inch laptop screens.
@@Alckemy I don't mean the resolution of the video itself but the interface scaling you had set when you captured it. It's just too small to be legible on mobile devices and laptops, at any playback resolution--especially for us older folks without perfect vision ;) Bitwig's channel has a good example of ideal interface scaling for tutorials.
Hey man I'm giving Bitwig the trial to see if I want to move from Ableton or not. When I write music I always record my ideas live into created midi clips within session view and arrange later. In Bitwig there seems to be a push to record midi into arrangement. I can adapt to this and it wouldn't be a game changer. However, is it possible to create a clip in Bitwig, set the loop length and record live into that created clip? Whenever I try to do this the recording goes straight into arrangement and not the created midi clip.
Hahaha I made All the Ableton short cuts too. Just wish I could press TAB and switch main screen to session view And why can’t I press 0 to mute or deactivate something? And where is the little speaker that I can click mid midi sequence or audio clip (down at bottom of sceen .. in the editor .. and play from that point on? Is this possible? Jist some Ableton stuff I wish was in here
Tab does switch to session view- it’s just on the same page as arranger together:) I have 0 to mute stuff, idk? Just click above on the sample editor timeline and it will play from there. It’s all there
I'm new to this DAW, when recording is running, then I press stop, the timeline does not move to the beginning of the clip. How can I make the timeline field move to the beginning of the clip when I press stop?
hello, i recently purchased bitwig 16 track. i needed to upgrade from audacity due to the fact audacity doesnt accept vitual instruments plugins, such as dmxis (light programmer plugin). my goal is to sync light shows (basic for now) with my cover band backing tracks. which i have learned how to do now. my question is, how do i make these projects (song backing tracks / light program tracks via midi) easily accessible for my drummer to start and or stop songs? obviously i need to run these projects thru bitwig in order to communicate via midi to the dmxis box, correct? any input is greatly appreciated!! thank you
@@Alckemy thanks again! I'm trying ubuntu instead of windows and bitwig is by far the most developed daw that ive tried on my system. I'll be watching lots of your vids! Thanks for the replies too! 🤠
How tough would it be to redo this in a resolution we can actually see what you're doing? I have a 27" monitor and still can't read the description of one item on the screen.
well. not too difficult, but this one is likely to stay just because it’s on the bitwig website. I can do some bite size stuff in the future and have since reconfigured my scaling to be more… suitable
@@Alckemy yeah thats what I thought, but at 3:56 you say "lets say you dont have a (cordy) keyboard and all you have is just a mouse and keyboard", that led me to understand this "qwerty keyboard" was something different than 'just a keyboard"... then my search on google for "cordy", "coardy", "kordy" keyboards as it would be something amazing I don't know... haha
@@AlckemyThank mate. I watched it on the balcony with an old laptop (with crappy resolution) and didn't recognize anything :-) Thanks for the content.
have no idea how the software works downloaded it and no sounds works at all lets see if the downloaded sound packs will work after i download something
I opened it and had a shut down in 5 seconds like “why are there sliders if there’s nothing added WTF IS VOLUME2” I’m not really getting closer, I’m just dumb smh.
It’s not as intuitive as I thought it would be. I assumed you’d be able to add in each note separately but you have play out the sequence as a live performance and it’s saved as a single audio block?
@@EdmundLabito I understood your question and answered it lol. There’s no keyboard shortcut to open the plug-in but what I was trying to tell you is there is a little box icon to the left in bitwigs inspector that will open the plug-in regardless of what view you’re in. No need to get to the device menu to access it
Quick question. My audio setup does not have an audio output. Is this new? I see it in videos but not in the program. I can just select my interface. It works. I'm just wondering.
@@Alckemy Ahhhh. Ok i see. Its all stretch out. I just downloaded Bitwig 5 and its a lot more scrunched up on mine than yours and the theme is very different in color. I retract my statement. Im sorry.
is there a way to set it to when i hit space twice to restart my loop it starts at the beginning of the loop marker and not where i last clicked? hate that it restarts where the blue line is and not beginning

@@Alckemy yes windows. I am using my interface asio. But it only shows input device.
@@wyldbylli4047 I’ll look into it!
what version is this?
I believe 4. Something
great video tho tbh your voice i exactly the same as casually explained channel and i keep thinking this video is going to go satire any moment.
Gotta keep you on your toes some how
when I hold shift and press up it goes down!!!
the notes, they don't shift up, up does nothing
That's a new one. are you on a beta version?
@@Alckemy i cracked it...
@@yungmentalproblems well 🤷♂️ lol
@@Alckemy I'll just work around it
This is not a beginner tutorial. THIS doesn't even look anything like it does when you open it for the first time.
You sure you downloaded the right program? Cause other than the scaling, yes it does
@@Alckemy Ahhhh. Ok i see. Its all stretch out. I just downloaded Bitwig 5 and its a lot more scrunched up on mine than yours and the theme is very different in color. I retract my statement. Im sorry.

is there a way to set it to when i hit space twice to restart my loop it starts at the beginning of the loop marker and not where i last clicked? hate that it restarts where the blue line is and not beginning
if you click on the grey loop bar it’ll start from your loop but you have to tell it to start somewhere
