Hans Zimmer should use Bitwig! am I right? - Feedback based Cinematic Lead in Bitwig

[@zofloyax]

Missed this first time round, amazing tip!! 💜

[@ChrisMills-AmbientSpace]

I love this process.

[@deckling823]

holy cow i didnt know that audio rate modulator!!!! wow!!!! I do sound design and music for video games in bitwig, and everyone loves reaper, but bitwig has some magical things like this!! i love this!! Polarity BITWIG GOD! I would love to see more uses of this audio rate modulator

[@brianbergmusic5288]

That's some insane 'BrAAAAAAm' power. All you need is a few layers of brass (trombone, tuba, bass-trombone FF) stabs and the Zimmer-Server-Inc. will be purchasing your sample pack!

[@BeatMax2023]

Super cool trick and amazing sound!

[@joesweeney6262]

Sounds of my morning before coffee.

[@simonhmackie]

Nice! One of may favourite patches with my Moog Grandmother is to use the spring reverb output to fm the oscillators and the filter (you can put it through the highpass filter and attenuator to get it sounding right); you can get these beautiful broken up dystopian sounds similar to your patch here. For some reason I hadn't thought of trying a similar approach in Bitwig though, so thanks for the heads-up!

[@noahrathje8976]

mindblowing keep it up man ;)

[@emilianotorquati9842]

Awesome !!! THX

[@DioXine-itwt]

feedback sounds were always something interesting. usual feedback, when guitar and mic close to comb, but when output sound also engages the modulation - thats wow !

[@boronoro]

Awesome as always!!! Let Zimmer use his own gear. Don’t tell the guy about this!

[@SmileyFabian]

Wow. This sounds awesome. 😊

[@greggsonic]

Beautiful!

[@SolarLiner]

It absolutely is a feedback loop; going through the modulation system doesn't change anything. This is exactly equivalent to doing it in the Grid with a Long Delay module to allow the feedback connection (because the modulator will use the previous audio buffer when modulating, so you do have a delay that is dependent on the audio settings block size).

[@TheQxY]

Are you certain the modulation is not undersampled to 44.1kHz with a fixed block size to make it sample rate and buffer size independent? Seems like an oversight, if not the case. Then, your modulation might sound different if you switch audio settings. The Grid Long Delay only allows down to 0.02 ms for this reason, which is the length of one sample at 44.1kHz, even though the Grid itself is oversampled.

[@SolarLiner]

@@TheQxY Feedback in FX Sends is also one system audio buffer behind, so it wouldn't surprise me that they didn't do this for the modulators

[@TheQxY]

​@@SolarLiner Mm interesting, should do a test sometime to find out.

[@UndulaeMusic]

jesus christ. I need to use bitwig more. if I wasn't 10 years deep into Ableton muscle memory I'd have switched already

[@GeorgeLocke]

Gabba Gabba We Accept You We Accept You One Of Us.

[@Cornholio0494]

Spent 3 years to learn Music Production on Ableton, started Bitwig in last December, the first month was pain, like i was doubting of the right choice, today i dont regret and i wont turn back.

[@touarec]

​@@Cornholio0494can I ask what made you switch?

[@johnmiller19925]

@@touarec I made a switch in '22, after more or less 10 years in Live (my first version was 9). What made me switch were modulators and overall stability. Also I had a free license with my soundcart. I still occasionally open Live if I need something from my M4L library and I also teach Live, but I only teach it because the school I work at has Live installed.

[@creatingspacesproducer]

Just do it! :)

[@harddarkdnb]

super trick ! very useful

[@Fedor_Tkachev_Music]

very nice, sounds alive!

[@7alken]

well, yes, it has everything, single thing missing is time to play with it more ))

[@aneri72]

Maybe you can use the "Time Shift" device 😉😄

[@GeorgeLocke]

I need a plugin that gives me a three day work week.

[@eluherlu]

Exactly

[@chaosmachines934]

cool video will take notes

[@yajrobot]

Jokes aside, I'm a big fan of Hanz Zimmer, he is awesome composer and theorywise he should use what fits his needs to write sheet music, Cubase is solid choice fs, because it offers ability to write notes alongside DAW workflow.

[@ramsaysg]

very cool

[@angrytoken]

Strange, I repeated all the knobs in the video, but for some reason it doesn't sound like that, only if you add gain in audio rate to +15 dB

[@raise-project]

Righty Right!

[@KozmykJ]

I look forward to the day when Bitwig 5.2 v1.0.0 is finally released and then I can try all these interesting Polarity creations. I'm not putting Beta programs on my main PC, and my secondary machine is offline. I've had Betas cause too many system problems, and that includes Bitwig Betas.

[@sfisodlamini54]

Someone tell the guys at bitwig to improve their vertical zooming instead of increasing track height so i can switch because i tried the demo and it felt claustrophobic using bitwig that's all i require.

[@nwndr]

Bitwig has a crazy toolset. Where it really falls short now in my opinion is just simple quality of life DAW stuff. I really hope 6/7 are less focused on new devices and more on polishing up the core stuff

[@godboat.]

yes please

[@berniehcc]

Awesome ❤…. but HZ take away from Cubase is not easy imho 😂

[@pbrninja19]

I made a 3-hour album out of the sound of Polarity plonking the keyboard at 7:40

[@jetjaguar_nz]

Quite good I guess

[@alienecho9634]

epic

[@soundcore183]

valhalla supermassive is awesome , look any further :D

[@jensschettler1732]

Ha ha... Klingt wie mein Furz heute morgen.

[@colognialist1964]

Dann wäre ein Gang zum Arzt echt ratsam.

[@StefanSauer]

If you sample it, tune it and apply Valhalla SuperMassive its gonna sound great.

[@AurumNoise]

I think the Zimmer man can use whatever he wants..

[@aup6764]

Hans Zimmer gave up on Bitwig because it didn't have video capabilities🤣

[@Byron101_]

Wrong. HZ need a big DAW for big orchestral composing and detailed midi editing plus video support. Bitwig lags in all this important areas. For filmcomposers/sounddesigners it´s better to use a fast workflow film timeline DAW plus adaquate vstis with great modulation possibilities like U-he Zebra or Kilohearts Phase Plant etc. Bitwig is more a "random" sounddesign tool (for people with too much time), haha, but it´s a great tool for this, yes of course!

[@GeorgeLocke]

Who are these heathens who haven't watched all of Polarity's videos?

[@puvendranpillay8802]

I think he should use FL Studio. Using Bitwig is gonna make feel inadequate as a man with his declining hairline.
