Trance from Scratch

[@markquavertune2003]

I like how Bitwig modulates in such a straitforward way .

[@ScottGarman]

This was so fun to follow along with, and to keep the video to within 30 minutes is quite the accomplishment! Thanks for this.

[@spectre.garden]

I love that chord progression - thanks for sharing a very strong starting process.

[@DavidArgunetta]

How do you change colors?

[@tristancorbett7309]

How did you change the colours in the DAW? That blue looks awesome

[@fromherebeyond]

Yeah. Would like to know that as well. Sneak preview of the next Bitwig version?

[@poweruser64]

I think it's probably just a hue shift done in post for colors close to orange. Could be something new in bw 5.2 though. I know they rewrote their graphics engine so they might've added some stuff like that. Actually, I'm pretty sure it's just done in post. The knobs aren't in the bitwig 5.2 style, so it can't be something changed in an update. I agree it looks really good though! Wish they'd add theming options. Maybe soon with the graphics engine update.

Neat to see how far you can get in 30 minutes. Picked up some good tips about composing in the piano roll. Thanks for that. Sort of funny how you can get this far without talking about emotion or meaning at all, the notes in the fourth chord actually suggest a lot, to me, in terms of what the song is about. I think showing a bit about doing a breakdown and buildup would have added a lot for less experienced people actually trying to make this style in bitwig, but in the end, no complaints. Very fun little session, good work and thanks for sharing it. (:

Like Like Like ❤ yes it basic composing, but its done proper with all your background Knowledge, which I dont have, good results and a leap forward for ME

[@chrisjamestvofficial]

How did you switch the color theme. Please make a video

[@bci3937]

For the visibility i like the false color/ Luma fiter you put over the screen, its OBS right?

[@ATAMusic]

Trance FTW!

[@andreasoberg2021]

Woha. Awesome!

[@konskift]

This is the best color coding yet- except for the VU meters of course.

[@MarliqueMusique]

@PolarityMusic can we get theat color coding for Bitwig somewhere ? Or will this be implemented in Bitwig ?

[@samvice10]

There's lots of trance vocal effects everywhere I've noticed the past few years, the 90s are back!

[@colognialist1964]

Great work. As always. And I love it, when you use only Bitwig Stocks... (not the pain of Missing plugin hahaha). It is great to see how animation and modulation brings life in.

[@PolarityMusic]

yo, it's also a nice challenge :)

[@colognialist1964]

@@PolarityMusic every time I start Bitwig it grows to a challenge for me *lol

[@t0x0n1x]

When the detune hit 27 cents the rave started.

[@StefanSauer]

Love it. Really catchy!

[@ulisserigamonti3172]

Thank you for your video. Is it possible change the note of piano roll using plugins like E-Kick, E-Snare, ecc??? I can only change the tune on the plugin but I would like to change the note in the piano roll like a normal synth. Thank you in advance :)

[@soundfx68]

This reminds me of one of your vids from years ago, it was one of my faves - that vid made me sound like Deadmau5 for a few bars :D

[@DavidRPhillips]

Funny - I also only use Saint Peter's Cathedral with the Convulsion! When Bitwig first offered it I went through the presets and thought it was the only one I'd need.

[@TypeZeroOfficial]

I want that theme!!

[@bendecaf_]

Hi, since a few videos I have noticed that the color scheme is different with blue Volumen bars etc. How can you adjust that? I think this isn't the usual color palette, right?

[@GeorgeLocke]

William Orbit - Barber's Adagio for Strings Ferry Corsten remix. Best song in this genre. (Because the theme is one of the greats of classical.)

[@yaqzanm]

Blue mixer meters??

[@SitWithAnkit]

He changed the color of the recorded video.

[@soundfx68]

@@SitWithAnkit May have used ReShade.

[@zofloyax]

You've opened a can of worms, buuut something inspired by Warp records idm from the 90s. Autechre, Plaid, Squarepusher etc would be really interesting. Especially with the older synths and abstract drums

[@soundfx68]

And a bit of my grumpy old mate Bola.

[@Gnade]

Now, please, do a Future Bass Tutorial. Future Bass is the future!

[@PolarityMusic]

perfect! i am from the future.

[@bazebuster8330]

Yeah, the name says so

[@pnutbuttajellee1394]

Future Trance? Add Future to any genre?!

[@splashkord1695]

And then need tutorial for Future Rave.

[@LuciSheppyLive]

Future bass is so 2018

[@3digit82]

Nice...vibes from my youth...

[@JNRL.C]

A newbie question when you used eq after the convulsion, doesn’t that mean you’re taking the low end away from bass?

[@PolarityMusic]

it's in the "wet fx" box of the convolution device, so only low end from the wet signal. the dry signal is untouched 👍

[@JNRL.C]

@@PolarityMusic I see! Thank you🫶🏻

[@soundcore183]

Can you do the opposite, using as many plug-ins as possible without sounding cheesy?

[@charliobrown3960]

hi polarity you converted to dance trance guy! I never liked trance but.... all returns..... where to change the bitwig skin or colors? don't find it.... thanks!

[@WavejumperUK]

I’d love to see your take on electro especially with bitwig’s modulation ability

[@PolarityMusic]

please send example track (electro means many different things to many) :D

[@WavejumperUK]

Drexcyia is the obvious one but there is more melodic modern examples like frequency of creation by MOY or darker ones like in abyss by signal type

[@WavejumperUK]

Anything Detroit influenced basically

[@PolarityMusic]

also @anthonyrothercom i guess?

[@WavejumperUK]

@@PolarityMusic yeah absolutely

[@AmbientShores]

Now give us some PsyTrance!

[@reeloy3045]

....dreamy trance is never out of fashion....full on hi speed psy trance has even a big peak out there again...

[@cyx01]

i don’t think so. polegroup (warm up) and mord records (kazerne) are though

[@tekm]

8:26 fart

[@poweruser64]

I was so confused lol

[@berniehcc]

😎🥳😍

[@PolarityMusic]

🥳

[@glyph6757]

How about some psychill?

[@SynthfulDuck]

snare could be more subtle

[@PolarityMusic]

nice, looks like i nailed the kick drum! 🔥

[@DoctorSoctopus]

@@PolarityMusic perspective is everything!

[@LogicBomb34]

Unfortunately, this style is popular and should be banned. Stupid shallow music

[@VirtualModular]

Is this style still popular? Well unfortunately, my wife still listens to it 😅

[@spectre.garden]

I hope whatever is bothering you gets resolved. The world(or human experience) is not a shallow place, but joy sometimes appears that way, when we are tired and overwrought.
