Our Quick Tips videos offer you bitesize tricks and techniques to inspire your next project. In this first collection we catch up on workflow-boosting strategies. Effortlessly realize your ideas with tips on mouse-free editing, creative audio comping, and more.
Mouse-Free Melodies with Step Input
Maintain your flow by writing MIDI sequences without ever needing to touch the mouse (or the record button). The Step Input Tool makes it quick and intuitive – each note input advances the playhead at the current beat interval, while the arrow keys let you enter a rest or go back in the sequence.
Rediscover Your Audio with Fold to Takes
Turn long jams and samples into new grooves and loops by folding your audio to comping takes. Choose your loop length and number of takes, then rearrange your audio on the fly to combine parts and unlock fresh ideas.
Polyrhythmic Patterns with Note Routing
Trigger an instrument device with multiple note tracks to create complex polyrhythms in seconds. Route a group's note tracks to the group master to trigger the group's instrument device. Each note clip can have its own loop length, making it easy to create complex, evolving sequences.
Work on Multiple Projects at Once
Re-use existing ideas – or give fresh context to old ones – by working on multiple Bitwig Studio projects at the same time. Use one project as a messy scratchpad for creative sound design, then drag your favorite elements into an arrangement-focused project. Or rescue parts from abandoned projects and give them a new lease of life.
Edit Automation With the Keyboard
Work faster with keystrokes? Bitwig lets you edit automation from the comfort of your keyboard. Navigate back and forth, jump between automation lanes, and select and move automation points with variable resolution – all without reaching for the mouse.
