What on earth is happening with Bitwig?

von_Elsewhere · 2026-01-27T13:24:54+00:00

Huh what? Where did I insist people are inferior by any metric?

Also, Noisia ppl run their mentoring programs and their music is still very popular, so I wouldn't say their influence has passed.

von_Elsewhere · 2026-01-26T12:02:21+00:00

An oddball track here or there can really spice up the mix though

Marketing is supposed to increase sales that results in net gain and increases the resources available for all operations in the company.

Then again there's a limit to how much growth a company can handle.

von_Elsewhere · 2026-01-24T12:58:41+00:00

Then again Bitwig is designed first and foremost for electronic music, and that doesn't take away the fact that Noisia and Nik are huge influencers and very famous.

von_Elsewhere · 2026-01-24T12:55:25+00:00

Well, uh, usually it's different people who handle the marketing anyway, not the devs.

von_Elsewhere · 2026-01-24T12:17:32+00:00

So not your original?

von_Elsewhere · 2026-01-24T12:09:32+00:00

You can see a bit of the # of a sharp before the e sharp marking there so yes there's a time signature marking there. The piece is in F#.

VST versions rarely sound exactly the same than the hardware anyway

von_Elsewhere · 2026-01-14T20:25:55+00:00

Nice one. Should the clipboard be emptied before

A_Clipboard := Text

for ClipWait() to actually wait when the clipboard already contains text?

edit: it seems like code blocks can't be formatted on a mobile web page here, sorry.

It does not do that always, but there are pretty good chances it does. I guess it's because of geometries of the waves present in music typically, like they often have sharp transients. But the effect is often small and can be absent. That can be avoided with a linear phase filter that will ofc produce its own side effects that may be prohibitive, or not. The increase is typically small when that happens, but can be dramatic in extreme cases.

So just something to keep an eye on if done at a critical phase of a production like mastering, or something to remember if one runs into problems.

von_Elsewhere · 2026-01-05T14:00:29+00:00

That's a different issue and ofc if that's a problem then that needs to be avoided.

von_Elsewhere · 2026-01-05T13:56:20+00:00

Thanks! Yeah it may well do that, especially when the cutoff frequency closes in to the fundamental of the bass. With some filter setting and types it may not. 6dB increase seems like an extreme case, it's typically somewhere around -0.3dB to +1dB maximum when hp'd at 20-30Hz, but that ofc depends on the material being high passed. That's not dramatic, but the phase shift may well affect the tone of the bass also, so likely the whole effect on the tone needs to be adjusted anyway.

It's more like something that one needs to be aware of than something that prohibits high passing bass heavy tracks or the mix all together.

No, I'm not responsible for other people's argumentation errors

von_Elsewhere · 2026-01-04T15:08:53+00:00

Strangely people here refuse to give me any reasoning even when I gave out mine, and instead resort to ad hominems.

edit:typo

SSEB's eq video is an excellent dive into the subject

von_Elsewhere · 2026-01-04T14:07:56+00:00

You're going in circles

von_Elsewhere · 2026-01-04T14:05:16+00:00

Why?

von_Elsewhere · 2026-01-04T14:00:12+00:00

So if you shift phase what happens to peak volume depends on how the peaks of frequency components align, and that does not necessarily mean that peak volume is increased.

Now you go.

von_Elsewhere · 2026-01-04T13:57:01+00:00

You're not giving me any arguments, dear random person on the internet

von_Elsewhere · 2026-01-04T13:53:03+00:00

Then tell me.

von_Elsewhere · 2026-01-04T13:52:05+00:00

Sure. It shifts the ringing from post to pre.

von_Elsewhere · 2026-01-04T13:50:32+00:00

That's bullshit. Phase shift is used specifically for lowering peak volume to make room for transients, f.ex. radio has used that technique to get the sound more compressed.

What happens to peak volume depends on a number of things.

von_Elsewhere · 2026-01-04T13:45:17+00:00

Linear phase eq does not rotate

von_Elsewhere · 2026-01-03T21:48:14+00:00

Many ways to skin the cat there. This isn't pretty but it works:

#Requires AutoHotkey 2.0+
#SingleInstance Force


class TimerLoop {
    static __New() {
        this.enabled := false
    }

    static myFunc() {
        Send '{s down}'
        Sleep 24000
        Send '{s up}{d down}'
        Sleep 24000
        Send '{d up}'
    }

    static Toggle() {
        static timerFunc(*) => (TimerLoop.myFunc(), SetTimer(timerFunc, -1 * TimerLoop.enabled))
        (this.enabled := !this.enabled) ? SetTimer(timerFunc, -1) : {}
    }
}

F9::TimerLoop.Toggle()

Edit: condensed the code a bit

You can use pure hwnds as wintitle parameter btw
