This Bitwig Studio tutorial demonstrates creating a jazzy loop, combining techniques from previous videos. The process includes:
•Chord Progression Creation:Using a Wurlitzer from Bitwig’s Electric Keys package.
•Adjustments like increased release, tremolo, and chorus.
•Constructing a major chord using the root note, major third, perfect fifth, major seventh, minor ninth, and major eleventh.
•Adding velocity variation and strumming effects for realism.
•Drum Pattern with XO:Using the XO plugin to select jazz-style drum samples.
•Creating a basic drum loop with kick, snare, hi-hats, and additional elements.
•Discussing a new feature (or possibly unnoticed) of note snapping in Bitwig.
•Bassline with Jazz Bass from Kontakt:Implementing a simple bassline using the Kontakt library.
•Using an arpeggiator for rhythm variation.
•Synchronizing the bassline’s timing with the drums using Bitwig’s note grid and sidechain feature.
•Additional Elements and Effects:Adding piano and saxophone parts, ensuring they harmonically fit the chord progression.
•Utilizing reverb for texture.
•Discussing recording techniques like punch out for perfect loop length.
•Mastering with plugins for a retro sound.
•Integration of Techniques:The tutorial emphasizes integrating multiple techniques and Bitwig features.
•The tutorial ends with an invitation for questions and a reminder that the project is available on Patreon.
