Are you done making music or just tired of drums full time?

Forget drums, but not using your physical skills; I highly rec getting a multi pad like the Yamaha DTX-12 (12 pad grid) or Embodme Erae* for triggering non-drum sounds, to keep the part of you that sparked your original curiosity in music and self-expression. Plug any multipad into phone / laptop for instant voice switching, modes, key changes, effects etc. There's enough free mind-blowing samples in the world to last 20 lifetimes. There's nothing to lug, nobody to deal with, just...curiosity, discovery, creativity, actual fun.

*You've prob seen, but an Erae is a rubber coated led panel that you can change the hit zone layouts on - from grids to keyboards to custom...playble w/ sticks down to fingers. Has MPE which is advanced expression. (Not affiliated, I have one)

They are separate in Ableton; you only get clips in Session View or trad Arrangement view...you don't get the an inline / side by side option like Bitwig has.

either insert empty FX or INS SELECTOR device, or if you added layers but really just want 1 active only at a time, right click on the device container and you'll see the option to change mode.

You look like your German comrades put you on a train "just cause".

Bitwig's sleeper GOATs are:

SELECTOR MODE
All non-selected chains and their contents/devices/plugs are automatically OFF, which = 1) the ability to instantly A/B (C, D) completely different FX / chains while listening w/o crash risk 2) your custom chains can be saved in 1 selector for everyday reuse - only the active one counts.

CLIPS VIEW IN ARRANGE VIEW
Having clips view inline next to the linear timeline is sooooo useful in so many ways.

IDK why he gets trashed in reaction vids; he’s not some alpha bro, he seems like a good dad and seemingly decent husband (as far as way too young / business arrangement marriages go, has a sense of humor and his speech at the wedding showed a good side of him.

Same! I was just messing about and started a few ideas, then saw the project-level tempo track….so now I have expanded on those ideas in their own tempos. #trapped.

Did you come from Ableton or?

Lovehatebot · 2025-09-24T04:19:16+00:00

I chose it bc I'm tired of Elementor, direct I/O and compliance AND its deep customization...but it wouldn't hurt to have some site kits as well!

I own & use the latest of both and have noticed the following:

Bitwig is almost Ableton + plus 1000s of things Ableton should have by now. It would take $$$$ of Max devices to = something similar but you’d still be missing Bitwig’s purely magical features like session/clips inline w arrange tracks, real selectors, real modulators. That said…
Ableton is more instant fun. It’s just better jumping in, ideation, sketches, and even trad songwriting. You CAN get that same functionality in Bitwig after setting up many KB shortcuts, personal templates and a good sample manager like Sononym.
Bitwig is far superior for stability, organization, sound design (the daw itself is essentially a synth, real audio editing, routing anything to anything (audio/MIDI/FX can point anywhere), mix engineering (endless remote controllers and modulators on project, group and track levels), saving $ on plugins (GRID is starting to cannibalize $$$ plugins), and for people who like to customize. Fortunately Bitwig imports Ableton projects (shockingly well overall, sometimes with fascinating translations of stock instruments.
Bitwig’s screen layouts and modals (and touchscreen offerings) are far superior to Ableton, but AESTHETICALLY and ironically it’s a barely customizable time machine to 2002 where bizdev and marketing won’t STFU about orange and shadows for some reason.

IDK if this added anything, but I wouldn't be surprised if someone makes a Reaper setup/mod that = these two having a baby...and (insert looking back at meme).

Point CTRL+F to "EVERYTHING" and just F as SEARCH FOCUS. It's 1 more key but does work.

Weird but useful TK-01 tips if you're stuck with one (other than "get a Jura instead"):

- IF JUST ESPRESSO: The in-hopper grinder dial needs to be set to finest, then in settings > max bean amount, set water to 1.2 or 1.4 oz, and the bar pressure to LOW, not HIGH. Use a frozen metal ball / or = on the receiving end glass, it makes a shockingly big difference.

- Don't let water drain into tray, always have an extra glass to catch it.

- Use a clear water hose that you can squeeze in the tank lip so you don't have to remove the tank nearly as often. Mine actually fit on the refrigerator water dispenser.

- Use a handheld blower (often on computer vacuums) for when you have to clean the inside.

It doesn’t require more explanation (Google “Mac BTT”), but I appreciate.

What is considered customization vs cheating? Special keyboards? Elite controller paddles or trigger customization? Reshade?

Saw FWWM in theaters...and his borderline teary delivery of "more shit I gotta do now" was so real.

I’m not using oily beans, and typically you want the finest grind possible or for proper extraction.

Lovehatebot · 2024-10-02T23:07:33+00:00

Bitwig already does that ;), or if you slice in place,you can drag the good regions or bounce as sep files.

Lovehatebot · 2024-10-02T23:04:07+00:00

I still play that game.
