Drum and Groove Design with Stimming
What are the key ingredients of a groove? Stimming breaks it down for us in this detailed demonstration video. Using Bitwig Studio, Bitwig Connect, and an external drum synth, the Hamburg artist shows us the workflow for conjuring propulsive beats in his beloved style.
The video follows the beat-making process right from the start. Watch Stimming sync Bitwig with hardware, dial in a beat using touch input, and create a dramatic transition with the help of Bitwig’s modulation system. He offers plenty of production wisdom along the way, and even makes some surprising discoveries.
The Rumble Trick with Stimming
We’ve all been there: You’ve got a promising sketch, but it’s missing something crucial. Why not add rumble? In our latest How It’s Done tutorial, Stimming demonstrates how to turn pretty much any element into an extra sound layer that adds depth, dynamism, and energy.
He starts by building a rumble using Bitwig’s audio receiver and modulators. Then he uses the new layer to develop the rhythm and arrangement of his track. Stimming ends up with some pretty serious techno business – but whatever your genre, rumble is a handy trick to have up your sleeve.
Wobble Bass and Beyond with Stimming
In his latest masterclass, Stimming started with a wobble and ended up with a whole track. He carefully breaks it down for us, sharing a ton of sound design and mixing knowledge along the way.
Learn how a simple synth combines with a modulated filter to create those unmistakable dub wobs. Get tips on layering synthetic and organic drums, sidechaining for loudness (and musicality), and how to modulate without getting lost in the complexity. And keep an eye out for the rumble trick (covered in Stimming’s last video). We’re pretty sure you’ll find something in here to inspire your next session.
