Bitwig's filters are top notch, but you're probably missing out if you ignore how thy behave! 🎶

Музыка

Bitwig's filters sound amazing, but they are very sensitive to input levels! I knew this for a long time, but underestimated how much this behavior impacts the way they sound, and at how low levels they will actually star clipping.

    What a massive timbre difference it makes knowing about this behavior of the filets, which I had no clue about until watching this video. Suddenly I feel like I have 2x the filter's in the Grid now. Great content as always! Cheers

    good tips! (i guess thats why the input gain of the filter is called "drive" and not "gain") 😅

    I wish they would either change the default for the Q limit parameter, or make it more prominent, because it feels like nobody else knows about this, and think the filters don't sound all that great. It's available everywhere, Polymer and Filter+ included, at least by right-clicking on it.

    Many thanks for the tips! I never changed the resonance limit but it affects the sound a lot, thanks for sharing 🙏 😅Regarding filter+ I realised you can set the resonance limit by right click next to the cutoff/resonance knob. You can then save this as a present and it will be restored. But when you select one of the new filter rasp for example you have other options by right clicking (feedback limit in this case) and when you switch back to a normal filter with 'resonance limit' it will be set to -10db again.

    Another great vid ! Something thats also often overlooked is the clipping behavior/settings of the output module. I also think that in devices like polymer or filter+ these settings should be accessible in the inspector instead of having to convert into a grid...

    Sneaky, sneaky, sneaky. I figure moaty DAWs & VST etc do this. Not illegal as such but it does give a more blammin' sound than "honest" settings would. This explains/confirms how other VST and DAWs initially appear to be more "sound goodified" than default settings in Reason devices which traditionally are more clean. Of course, the user can then 'do their do' to get the sound they want (assuming they know how) - just as you showed here how to undo the default sound. :-)

    This is the missing link for me. I wasn't able to get the sound I was looking for in a bass with the bitwig filters and this is probably the reason why.

    I found this out years ago when I was using FabFilter Micro. That plugin is notoriously "distortiony" sounding. However, it has input and output gain knobs right next to one another that have 36dB of reduction/gain, which I believe may have been put there on purpose but the devs. It's something a lot of people still don't seem to know about. Thanks for the vid. :)

    Need more of this type of videos! I'm a beginner so when I'm working on something in Bitwig I'm noticing the sound moves around when I move gain around but I don't always understand why. Are my ears getting confused from changes in relative loudness or is something different happening? I could study every device methodically but I don't have enough time. A lot of content-farm type of tutorials show using the devices under specific conditions and highly-tuned setups without explaining any of that. I am left dumbfounded when I fail to achieve same sound in my track. Tutorials like these set the course for learning how these tools actually respond.

    I'm afraid my tutorials are usually more advanced, but I'm glad it helped :). And I always try to make them in a way that the results should be reproducible, even if some might not completely understand what's going on.
