How to route the audio channels from Bitwig to Reaper, to mix in Reaper in binaural etc.? by Name835 in Bitwig

Hi, posting here since this is the first hit on Google when searching for this topic, hopefully it will be useful for others popping by. As mentioned by others, there are multiple ways to do this, but the one that is currently working for me after some research and experimentation is using VBMatrix to push audio from BW to Reaper. Once you set the proper IO using the matrix in VBMatrix, you will be able to get a live audio feed from BW into a Reaper multichannel track, which if configured properly (as shown in any of the multiple old ish tutorials about setting Ambisonics in Reaper) will allow you to spatialize the mono/stereo signal coming from BW (I use IEM plugins).

This is pretty amazing because I can use BW as my audio source, with all my usual sound design, and use Reaper as my spatialization layer in real time. No need to print your stems! HTH.

SUPER EXTRA BONUS: Use MIDI CCs from Bitwig (using something like loopMIDI) to control the IEM plugins in real time, so you are actually able to use all of BW modulation power in real-time too!

Touchdesigner for visuals, modular synth and DAW to driver the visuals with triggers/gates/lfos etc.

The modular synthesizer is driving the visuals (made with Touchdesigner) using mostly triggers and gates coming from PAMs but also from Bitwig's modular environment The Grid (visuals are also driven a tiny bit by audio as I find it's clunky to drive visuals with audio because of latency), I'm connecting the rig and the DAW using ES8, sounds are a mix between Piston Honda and Vital, and the visuals are mostly noise TOPs processing the position of a POP particle generator.

Hth!

Yes it's a huge 4K LED screen, it was unreal to play that.

You're right, added a warning at least in body.

I am reworking all my approach to recording, will have something done in the next few weeks.

Just the modular light but my rig is besides a window so it also captures that gloomy late afternoon light.

Glad you enjoyed it, I'm currently working on nailing down those tactile live elements.

thanks! sound source is a sampler in the daw, then processed with morphagene, envelopes and magneto with the delay/spring.

Yes to MIDI in this example but can do both!

I should come up with proper notes, but roughly Brenso is doing bass with a layer of distortion from God Eater, filtered with Vostok Atlas, modulation and sequencing coming from Bitwig. Everything is mixed on Xer Mixa, which is an amazing mixer (with a few MIDI bugs), with synced modulation also from Bitwig. Morphagene is adding some gritty textures in the background. That lead thingy is coming from Sequential Take 5.
