ive had mixcraft 9 sitting on my computer for a while after buying in a humble bundle some time back, but never used it. today i discovered it had a drum editor, so you know what that means!

Bitwig Studio can be just really a life all-in-one music live production apparatus. Here’s the only real value for DJing applications. That is a tool with got the workflow. You can utilize the device later, concentrating on it while appreciating a flexible interface to edit. Bitwig is just really a professional editing program. Now you can develop a page, caliber solid, and trim the package working with a useful tool.

I wonder if it would be worth it to get into eurorack modules instead of guitar pedals

As a general effects processing thing

I know zvex, creator of my favorite pedal, released a eurorack version of said pedal, and my inability to decide on a standard, serial guitar pedal chain are both things that make me think it's a good idea

Because even when trying to put together a simple pedal chain plan, it always involves a split between individual clean and distorted paths to begin with

So having an effect setup that's built with that in mind with eurorack modules I'd have to patch together seems kind of a no-brainer

I could probably still route the audio path of the effects with something like a boss es-8 or morningstar ml10x as well

Then the only guitar pedals I'd need to buy are ones that aren't available as eurorack modules anyways (e.g. Alexander Effects, or incredibly niche ones like the Mr. Black Shepard's End)

A New Approach To Performances - Feb 2, 2025

(AKA, "What do you MEAN I can't use one MIDI controller for two programs at once???")

Many of you may know that I perform live! At conventions, at clubs and bars, and wherever else the world needs a dose of eurobeat, I've been performing my work on stage for many, many years now! Fewer of you may know that I've tried different approaches to my shows over the years— for a little while, I'd just play the songs end to end; then I learned how to DJ, and now most of my sets revolve around DJing.

Lately, I've been revisiting that, and trying to figure out new and more compelling ways to perform. For the last year on and off, I've been attending choreography classes. These have not resulted in me properly learning routines, but they HAVE boosted my confidence tremendously. As well, in the last few months I've dreamed up possible performance methods and workflows that are less DJ-centric so I can focus on singing, crowd interactions, the occasional novelty (maybe some keytar sections or playing a drum pad?), and some fun video effects.

Today I began putting that into action by trying out my various MIDI controllers, trying new configurations in Ableton Live and Bitwig Studio, and... failing. A lot.

It turns out, some of my ambitions of mapping multiple functions in two applications to one MIDI knob were a bit more ambitious than I thought they would be. Getting programs on the same computer to talk to each other is surprisingly more difficult than I thought it'd be. Getting Resolume Avenue and Bitwig to communicate worked, Avenue and Ableton surprisingly less so. And even then, getting one or the other to handle MIDI clock information in basic integer values has proven frustrating.

Instead of still trying to mix between two "decks" like DJs do, I may do it one of a few ways: * Pre-mix the set in Bitwig or Ableton, find "pause points" for water/audience interaction. I'd basically be performing to an automated experience, which would be easier to predict and work around, but with little to no flexibility. * Load in songs as clips instead of full-length audio, which would buy me back my cue points from the DJ years; but I'd still have to mix between songs, which increases potential failure points. * Find more innovative ways to use Traktor (my current DJ software of choice) and video/lighting programming, or pre-mix a few songs together and THEN load those into Traktor. Current performance method wouldn't change dramatically, but the overall visual appeal would improve. * Make shorter versions of my songs I play through from start to end, like a traditional concert. (Doesn't seem right, given the nature of eurobeat; but it's not far from what a few eurobeat stars do already!) * Keep pushing towards building a whole one-laptop visual audio extravaganza, restraints be darned.

...I want to see what I can do with some MIDI automation and video for now, with maybe one play-in "novelty" and automated vocal effects with some optional ones I can dial in any time. It'll be a bit weird to surrender some of my control over which songs play when, but I want to start building a more compelling, less DJ-specific live set where I'm a bit more of a performer. I think I'm onto something with this, though time and figuring out the tech will tell.

I'll be chipping away at it in the month(s) ahead. Who knows? If I get it ready in time, it may not be long before it gets a test drive at a real show! 😉

"Howdy! I'm Daisy. Daisy the Daisy!"

I decided I wanted to learn Bitwig Studio, which is one of those Digital Audio Workstations (DAWs), which I can also use on Linux!

I've also never really worked extensively with MIDI, and I had this mashup idea in my head...

A bit of work and searching around for soundfonts later, have this basic ass mashup

(I didn't mean to export the second half I dunno how to work together, so whatever you get a bit extra!)

this is a sweet and hypnotic TECHNO track that I made in my room! After like 10 years as a REAPER girlie (I am still a reaper girlie) I finally gave Bitwig Studio a try and was delighted by how many KNOBS THERE ARE TO TURN sonic frontiers it lets you explore.

This will be the only place I post this semi-final version since I literally just hopped on tumblr for the first time in 10 years, no one's following me, and no one knows I have this account.

Hi I'm Aila! I'm a trans girl who makes music and DJs and does Linux and gay shit coding and other stereotypical transfem things

ok cool well here are some good starter DAWs

ableton live (expensive but has a free trial)

fl studio mobile (sadly also expensive as fuck)

bitwig studio

also people may recommend a DAW called reaper to you. DONT USE IT. its near-impossible to use, even for me.

-DAW anon

THANK U :]]]]]]]

will use this thank u!!!!!!

[charlotteathena]

what music program do you use :oo

ableton live for now. maybe bitwig if i'm doing plugin development or otherwise i'm comfy in FL Studio if i'm collaborating with somebody who uses FL

#neither seem to offer chopping the samples on the pad itself but studio one does have a couple extra automation things#i have yet to find one that does exactly what im looking for (a repeating automation that can be random)#i think elektrons drum machines can do that but im not sure#also those are like $500+

copying my own tags because elektrons drum machines do, in fact, do this

a workaround im considering is setting copies of samples with multiple repeats set to a lower probability on another sample pad and seeing how that works

you know, for a guy who tends to read instruction manuals before doing anything, the fact that ive never opened one for any of the daws i have until recently is a bit surprising
