Every Color and Flavour of Distortion: Explaining Bitwig Distortion Devices

[@DashGlitch]

"saturator" is absolutely an underrated device, it's a dynamics powerhouse, but I think what turns a lot of people off are the truly bizarre default settings LOL

[@AlexReidStudios]

The quiet settings, negative ratios and the offsets are really unique

[@papathrv1968]

saturator could be much more advanced so i wouldnt have to yabridge trash2

[@GermoStaalfeldt]

yeah its hard to learn lol

[@magicseadog8674]

Hey Alex, Love your videos, I have learned soo much. Some feedback - I could use less bunny face shots, just keep showing up the device you are featuring. Occasionally I find there are times you cut to the rabbit and I am like fk I would rather keep looking at whats going on because I don't learn anything from the rabbit. Don't get me wrong I like the rabbit idea and I think its cool to have at the start and end but through the middle I would prefer just the devices. Your tempo and timing for stuff is already really good. I don't find you under or over explaining often. Either way I love your channel. I am very grateful for your contribution; I keep learning and learning from your work.

[@AlexReidStudios]

Hey thanks a lot for all your words and your feedback :) It helps a lot. I'll be trying something a bit different soon

[@jonathanroseii905]

The different color types sound like resonance through different materials

[@AlexReidStudios]

Yes, some totally change the sound

[@joesweeney6262]

I never used the saturator before 😮. I learned something new today!

[@AlexReidStudios]

Go for it!

[@BeatMax2023]

Thanks! Very informative! I really like your videos!

[@AlexReidStudios]

Thank you! Glad you like them

[@BorisBarroso]

Thanks for this video. Soooo goood 🎉. I have never used bit 8 as a clipper I will experiment

[@AlexReidStudios]

Bit-8 iz amazing!

[@chyrek.ambient]

Has anyone used Arturia Distortion plugin called Cold Fire?

[@AlexReidStudios]

Me! I love it

[@jeffreyhanc1711]

It’s great. The only recently-released distortion plugin I like more is Thermal by Output. Both are 🔥

[@chyrek.ambient]

@@jeffreyhanc1711 I have Output Thermal as well but it uses way too much CPU and you can’t modulate like Arturia Cold Fire.

[@MaximusWhyman]

It's really cool. Has some really unique sounds

[@GillamtheGreatest]

some of these bitwig devices would make really good plugins to be used in other daws i think

[@AlexReidStudios]

Agree :) I'm sure there are some similar or other ways to get them

[@itsanthony1980]

Trash 2 is still unsurpassed but stock plugins are interesting!

[@GermoStaalfeldt]

I dunno why we need to overcomlicate this thing, sometimes it seems like making music has come like lessons in science class, coz lots of plugins are very tecnical, but i need to dive into this and learn
