How to Make IDM with Advanced Audio Editing in

[@LostinBeijingDJ]

IDM really has me like "oh I'm slightly dissatisfied with this beat" ***R E S A M P L E***

[@Alckemy]

perhaps.... OORRRRR Main section variation!

[@rhinoskin7550]

This is some gold.

[@renegadeandroid3642]

Now I need Bitwig, this video is gold 🤖👍

[@Alckemy]

Can technically be done in any daw, just a convenient window that makes the workflow a little more streamlined :)

[@MM4F]

Nice chops buddy… sweet!

[@Alckemy]

Thank you for watching!

[@Numocron]

Wow Alckemy this is such an awesome video I love it. :)

[@qillix4531]

Ok, you've convinced me chief.

[@emmanuelborn8118]

Just excellent 🙌👃

[@davidethan8123]

This clip editor is insane wtff I need bigwig now lol. True

[@zombiemachines]

very nice stuff :D

[@montyzuma9365]

Nice one!

[@Alckemy]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@johnh.george9059]

Great stuff

[@cclark8088]

great video thanks

[@macinead7]

This is an amazing video. Got all great glitch sounds but was stuck on sequencing the sounds. How can you tie the sounds together. Melody or drone sound maybe ?

[@Alckemy]

Context is key but it’s about developing an imagination around the sounds you make in general. If you check out my music you’ll hear all this stuff in context^^

[@macinead7]

@@Alckemy Could you do a video on the concept of context. I think it will be a great video.

[@Alckemy]

@@macinead7 I have a bunch- and use these tools almost every day on stream and have masterclasses. You just kind of have to dig a bit

[@macinead7]

@@Alckemy Ok thank you.

[@janondra5250]

Also How would you approach manipulating recordings of 192/24 or 96/24 and putting them into more complex project of 44.1 (because running all music production within one 192/24 projects would be a cpu killer) I am not sure how Bitwig handles audio if I import 192/24 recording with ultrasonic frequencies and time/pitch manipulate it in 44.1 project. Would it benefit of beeing the sample 192/24 originally or does it degrade by the time I import it into 44.100 session?

[@Alckemy]

I'm not sure exactly but i think bitwig converts everything into 32 floating point. you can run a high sample rate in the settings but Like you said, it'd be rough on cpu. why would you want to work in a bitrate that high anyways?

[@janondra5250]

Alckemy I will do an experiment today and let you know. Higher sample rate = more freedom in time stretching. Also using some microphones that can capture frequencies around 50khz, after pitching them down you still remain high end.

[@janondra5250]

@@Alckemy Experiment finished. What I did: Picked a sound of keys rattling in 192/24 with frequencies of 50khz-60khz range. Made 2 copies. One the original 192/24, the other one 44/24 (so max frequency is 20khz). Created new bitwig project in 44100. Imported both sounds. Set Stretch mode to Repitch. Pitched them down alot. Result: The original 192/24 imported into 44100 Bitwig kept the high frequencies and made them audible witht the repitching. The 44100 lacked the high frequencies. That is a good result.

[@Alckemy]

@@janondra5250 I'm not sure if you knew this and I'm also not sure how big of a quality difference there would be but for the most part bitwig can time stretch almost infinitely on it's own believe it or not. (way past 999 bpm)

[@janondra5250]

@@Alckemy Yeah, Bitwig is good for time stretching! And now that I know I can record my field recordings in 192/24 and manipulate them in 44100 project is a relieve for my cpu :)

[@ImaplanetJupiteeeerr]

Now i still need to learn how to make the whole base track that i can resample. :DDD Ps. A great video! :)

[@Alckemy]

Just use any track in your library:)

[@ImaplanetJupiteeeerr]

@@Alckemy hey, thanks for your reply! 😊 I didn't even think about that, of course! Just need to be wary of copyrights if I want to publish the pieces. :) Great channel you got here btw, keeo it up and greets from Finland! 😊

[@Alckemy]

@@ImaplanetJupiteeeerr in normal scenarios definitely but if you time stretch the heck out of it beyond recognition no one will be able to tell to be honest

[@ImaplanetJupiteeeerr]

@@Alckemy True true. Hey now that you seem to read my comments, do you happen to know how to get the "ultimae records" sound from artists like Martin nonstatic or Aes Dana etc. They use the "idm" style percussion in quite a "sophisticated" way. I've been wondering how they make the sounds themselves, and how they construct the tracks. I'm gonna ask them at some point as well, but wanted to ask you aswell if you happen to have any ideas etc.! :)

[@Alckemy]

@@ImaplanetJupiteeeerr I read everyone’s comments lol. Not sure what you’re talking about though

[@a_8764]

That's it, I'm switching to Bitwig. I love FL Studio but the audio editing in it is straight up dogshit, I've had it.

[@Alckemy]

XD use my discount code for %10 off! Bitwig is really ahead of it's time for audio editing though... it's pretty nuts

[@a_8764]

@@Alckemy I'm still on the 30 day trial but will use it when I pull the trigger. Thanks! 🙏 I've been using it for barely 24 hours and already loving it. It's a bit strange because it's extremely similar to Ableton but it just instantly clicks for me in a way Ableton never has.

[@Alckemy]

@@a_8764 it’s definitely a sibling of ableton; I think bitwig still has the unlimited demo where it never expires but you can’t save anything. Definitely want you to really like what you’re getting if you’re going to buy it!

[@janondra5250]

Amazing insight, thank you! I would like to make a track in the genre of Zenonesque and this will be helpful. (You should def. check zenonrecords.com for some inspiration. Its a 4/4 psychedelic beats but the sound designs are amazing)
