Changes in Bitwig Studio 5.3.7 [released 11 April 2025]
Fixes

- Fix regression in 5.3.6 causing random crashes

How I made the track 'The Best Captain (Idiots)’, my lucky last of ten "behind the scenes" blog posts. It's been a lot of fun.

This track is almost entirely me sneaking a recording of a band sound checking and building an #ambient track from a couple of tiny, noisy slices. "He's more passing car now than music", as Obi Wan said.

After three weeks using the Ottopot controller by @gerotakke, I can confidently say that I LOVE IT. With Bitwig it's like hand in glove.

The only thing that bothers me a bit is the LED brightness in my dim light studio. After some iterations, I am going to order custom stickers. I'm an Inkscape nullity but I got what I wanted from it. In the pics, my "prototype" with plain paper printed with an old inkjet. Approved! I'm ordering the stickers on Monday.

Odo - Schadenfreude Lucky Accident | Bitwig

Talk, Gequatsche und Musikproduktion from Scratch. Zusammen stehen wir vor dem leeren Arranger und starren so lange rein, bis er in uns zurück starrt.

To follow up on my last video you can actually measure how compressed a signal is. In the RMS world, this is called Crest Factor. It helps you get a sense of whether you’ve gone too far with compression or saturation.

I’m also sharing a handy tool for Bitwig that lets you measure it directly. But even if you’re using Ableton Live, Cubase, or Logic, you can use a plugin like dpMeter to check the compression levels in your tracks.

Today I want to talk about something I don’t hear many people mention on YouTube, and that’s exactly why I think it’s worth bringing up. So if you often use sample packs and wonder why things don’t quite glue together, this might be a tip worth checking out!

How I made the track 'Coral and Mimsy’.

Hi Coral. Hi Mimsy. Hi ... Jeremy Irons. What does this have to do with my silly bit of music? Not so much!

Anyway!

Connections between the tracks on the album, this being blog post 9 of 10.

Writing things in order to reverse them!

Building a random-sounding instrument selector, so every time a chord plays the individual notes are on a different combo of sounds.

I updated my Melody Maker script for Bitwig. New features include Motif Development, Random Velocity, Timbre, Pressure, and Release Velocity for expressive modulations. Rhythmic Emphasis helps place important notes in key positions. The loop range, start, and end point of the clip now adjust based on the selected bar size, and there’s a new button to generate an alternate version of the current sequence.
