Sidechaining in Bitwig ... is different! What cubase, ableton, fl studio can learn

[@ragnarroeck]

In addition to your great explanation, if someone still wonders: the Sc FX with an EQ2 comes in very handy if your sidechain is a drumloop-sample with e.g. kick and snare. You filter out everything but the kick and have a clean sidechaining signal that way.

[@PolarityMusic]

exactttllllyyy

[@NicosLeben]

Why are there still so less people on youtube talking about Bitwig? There should be many more.

[@MarcTelesha]

It's hard to switch from a DAW.

[@muteqx]

It's still our secret weapon! 😉

[@NicosLeben]

@@Artek604 I never heard about Luna but it is not running on Linux. Bitwig is the only serious one that also runs on Linux and I love it.

[@thedarkglovemusic]

That EQ+ tip is absolute gold. Thanks

[@MrMallum]

This way eradicates the need for Ghost kicks to sidechain from. Brilliant

[@Qmayb]

You can do all that on Fl too with fruity peak controller and proper use of mixer sends and filters (or patcher).

[@douglaskane4708]

Great video as always! you are one of the masters! Sidechaining EQ+ is one of my favorite things bitwig can do! I’ve been mixing for 20 year’s! It is one of the most powerful tools I’ve ever used! You’re able to get mixes to sit and pop SO easily!

[@partlysimpson5154]

-how do you apply that?

[@semyonboyk0]

This video is just packed with great tips. Thank you for sharing!

[@armanbf]

I like your compact and focused style of presentation. I learned something about the EQ reference from this video

[@synthesizersspaceships9394]

Bitwig completely changed my approach to Sidechaining tracks. Thanks, Polarity for pointing out some of Bitwig's superpowers.

[@iamYork_]

Polarity is officially the crown prince of BITWIG studio... I was about to cash out on some sidechain VST plugins due to sloth levels maximizing then he teaches me multiple, and better, FREE ways to do it in-house...

[@DanRamone81]

I would use a hp filter on the SC FX sdiechaining to the kick, so the compression is activated by the transient of the kick and you can set attack and decay more precisely ;) Great video

[@WANGblizzard]

POLARITY! This tutorial absolutely blew my mind. You answered questions I didn't even know I had! 11/10 as usual my friend.

[@henriquematias1986]

Very smart routing on bitwig, very nice video and ideas, we can also apply all of that on ableton tough! It’s all about the ideas! Great videos, i am loving them even tough i’m an ableton user

[@michail_777]

Thank you very much. You explained about the side chain in a very simple way. I'm sure this will be a great help to me.

[@olbluelips]

The last example was sick

[@madvbecity1418]

I can't say a word.. Respect! Wow, such a diverse option, amazing!

Excellent, I love the transient control sidechain, thank you very much!

[@SQUNTO]

amazing, thank you! I think im about to try switching after 14 years of ableton :o

[@wreckage-vs5jv]

Note sidechaining is really cool. It's kind of Midi sidechaining. Using Cubase for ages I can't even tell if there's anything like this(?) Think I give Bitwig a try.

[@memecoinmafia2732]

best side chain video ever 👍

BITWIG is up there with Studio one. I love both

Good clear video I'm new to bitwig from FL and was looking for ways to do this accurately within the host and not 3rd party . Thanks

[@pau1_r3d61]

Super informative as always. Many thanks!

[@PolarityMusic]

My pleasure!

[@Xstatic1975]

I like the sidechaining on EQ+ with a highpass filter. Dynamics I'm not a big fan of, with subbasses I often get a click at the beginning, no matter the attack setting and even when using a timeshift in the fx slot as a lookahead feature.

[@VolkerLaibach]

@@Artek604 This maybe explains the clicks me sometimes have using ASD on a Filter. Was wondering this is a bug in Bitwig but didnt looked deeper into it

[@6r0k3n5t3ps]

as usual.. simple and to the point.. no trash talk..

[@JDEG100]

More of this videos please!! I learn a lot, thank you.

[@jarkkojs]

Transient Control is also useful for reducing body of other percussive elements when the kick hits without affecting their signature. Side-chained body attenuation is actually what makes Bitwig's stock transient shaper quite unique and useful when comparing to 3rd party plugins.

[@PolarityMusic]

yes! transient control rules. use it every day

[@syeoak]

Another great vid illustrating BW's multiple options. I am learning that creation is limitless when applying your knowledge - thanks!

[@briancase6180]

You can also recreate your own version of the Trackspacer plugin. I actually like the versions I've created with Bitwig devices and modulators better than Trackspacer.

[@ryanhursh6322]

[@ToragDMT]

nice idea withe the delayed trigger! Thanks a LOT^^ @all enjoy, take care, and ... keep resisting- f.... da system! (just jokin´) und polarity- Wie meinst du, geht es am geschicktesten zu zweit ein projekt über internet zu starten. Bisher sehen wir nur die möglichkeit immer alles zu einzeln rausbouncen (mit ping und n paar takten vorlauf halt, dass die einzelnen spuren gleich lang sind, mit pausen ect., wie beim Film z.b. auch mit der klapppe. nur iss es sehr mühsam immer phase und dem monobereich! mehreren spuren -also dementsprechendeden phaseissues bei wirklich kleinen Fehlern (einmal nicht als raw improtiert, das ganze mit der richtigen einstellung nochmal, und obwohl es ja dann "raw" sein sollte variert die länger der spuren, für phasematch viel zu krass bei noch nicht mal 5 min. Isgesamt is ja grad zeit, und ech mal n schönes projekt und so. Aber des muss doch auch iwie geschickter gehen. BWE habe ich eigentlich als es rauskam genau deswegen so gehyped; gleichzeitig an nem projekt via netz zu arbeiten wie n gruppenchat... - auf dieses feature wartet man halt...des kann man auch gut verkraften- gibt ja genug anderes, was es einfach gut macht (-_-) und nun wie immer ein lob auf dich - super! du und baphometrix haben mir die welt des produzieren erstmal verstehen uberhaupt möglich gemacht -bleib wie de bist - take care^^

[@ultrajayme]

so with the tool method, I always modulate the "width" knob from max to minimus with "fall" all the way up and "rise" all the way down.

[@chewlay111]

Amazing thanks! Especially the last tips

[@dikannaetiaba748]

Good to know so many ways of doing this. Bitwig is such a powerful daw, with so many options. #dawforlife ❤🎉🎉 Appreciate your channel so much. Lots to learn. Keep on Polarity Music! Love it! 💫💫🙏🏽

[@flyingsquirrel3271]

This is a great tutorial, thanks a lot! The only thing that's slightly triggering me here (no pun intended) is that you use the "POST" output of the kickdrum as sidechain input all the time. I suppose PRE/POST refer to the mixer fader? If that's the case, I would almost always using the PRE output as sidechain input because I definitely don't want all my sidechain effects to unexpectedly change their behavior when moving the kickdrum mixer fader.

[@-------K-------]

Excellent tutorial! Very well done and very very useful, like pretty much all your videos! I love them! 🤗

[@kaipyroami]

Well done! I’m learning a lot.

[@docjoesweeney]

Thanks for this excellent set of examples. One thing I realised why watching this us how the 3rd and 4th methods would be perfect for sidechaining VSTs, such as Cherry Audio Voltage with relatively low CPU impact.

[@MythMakerMusik]

These techniques are brilliant.

@@PolarityMusic : so many ( most ) teachers will jump from concept to concept.... I really like that you stayed on one topic but showed multiple ways to do it...... for me that really helps understanding.

This is really awesome. I was not aware of some of these methods.

[@dubscope2246]

best tutorial !!

[@soundcore183]

Autowidth can be configured very quickly with tool device and audio sidechain by choosing to modulate width by volume. Just select the main instrument not the kick for the sidechain.

Really nice, I have learned new tricks including the one with the delay.

Is there a reason the Gate wasnt used?

For multiple source of sidechain they should just allow you to use a group track's pre\post output. Wonder why such a simple idea wasn't implemented.

[@Noldy__]

You can

[@bci3937]

noice thank you

[@cross_ove_music_]

Hello is new Subscriber on your channel Bitwig 16 track brings that compressor or others to do to do sidechain?

Are Bitwig factory plugins good sound as 3rd party like FabFilter & UAD ?

[@kraenk12]

UAD maybe not, (what is?) Fabfilter I’d say they sound less clinical.

[@KnzoVortex]

Bitwig does not have any “analog emulation” plugins, therefore anything like that will have to be 3rd party (Analog Obsession is a ridiculously good free source of these). With regards to Fabfilter, those plugins tend to be much more in depth than their Bitwig counterparts and might have better sound quality/algorithms as mixing with stock Bitwig stuff isn’t its strong suit, though of course it’s much more important you know how to use your tools well before considering buying new ones, and of course nowadays free plugins will get you 99% of the way there anyways. The workflow of most of the Bitwig plugins are as fast or faster (due to being native) than using fabfilter as most of them are pretty well thought out.

[@SeldomeMusic]

Спасибо👍

I think putting the beginner DAWs name in the title gets more views, do them a favor and do it man

I wish the Note Sidechain modulator would tell you the actual ADSR times when you change them, because those percentages are basically meaningless

I should have used a different term. It's all the same for me. FL Studio is an old daw and very developed. I can see that there are plugins on the market that were in FL Studio 15 years ago. A good example is the Surfer EQ or the UVI Shade. All of this can be done in Patcher in seconds.
