If you want to separately affect A and C and A and B… there’s no way to do that. What do you do? Add a group and automate that? We already know of problems that causes, but groups also encapsulate everything inside them. Later you device that for the chorus all your drums need to come down slightly. Hand-crafted with love to make your percussion sound like Peter Erskine himself took up playing breaks just for you. Imagine you have complex automation on your drum kit. They are simply scaled by the VCA amount. The VCA is like a second fader on top of each track’s fader, so if you have automation on those tracks they stay intact. VCAs also have the bonus that they don’t interfere with automation. Since the value of the fader is changed, then the audio going out of the post-fader send is also changed! VCAs attached to your whole kit will maintain the same proportions for the routing. You are now left with proportionally much more reverb on your snare because the group never changes that send amount!Ĭreate a VCA and lower it - A VCA affects the fader of each channel. Your dry drum sound is pulled down by the group, but all routing that happens before the group is unchanged. Your send track’s reverb is still at the exact same value. However, since the snare is sending to the reverb at -15db that is unchanged. Here’s where you have trouble:Ĭreate a group and lower the group - A group lowers the combined value of all tracks sent to it. The balance of the elements is perfect, but everything needs to come down. You’ve reached a point in your track where you need to turn your drum kit down. Lots of reverb on that snare, but the balance with the other 2 kit elements is perfect! Snare is going to a reverb send with -15db send. Let’s say that you have 3 tracks: Kick, Snare, Clave. Maybe you haven’t run in to, or noticed, the issues that VCAs solve. Yes, bitwig does have groups, but they do not solve some fairly major issues that VCAs do solve. VCAs are important for mixing, especially in Bitwig where all of your sends are post-fader by default. The video above shows Reaper’s excellent freezing facilities. It’s a massively useful feature, especially when you can select the point in the chain that can be frozen and freeze sends. Freezeįreeze is a feature that allows you to render a track and disable but not delete the effects on that track. Bitwig doesn’t offer a way to set this up easily or save this setup without requiring a template. It’s a common workflow to have a single Kontakt instance with many instruments loaded, feed that single Kontakt instance with multiple midi tracks assigned to the in-Kontakt instruments, and working happily.

The only issue is that if you want the outputs as tracks in the arranger, then you have to deal with the tedium of manual routing.Īnother issue is how difficult it is to route multiple tracks to a single Multi-Out device.
So it is possible to have tracks routed so each Instrument output is visible in the mixer. This opens up the tracks for each FX/Instrument Layer. First right-click the device and select “Add missing chains”, then in the mixer there’s a “↓↓” next to the name of the track at the top. edit: I was mostly wrong with the above statement.You can create an FX layer with its outputs, then manually create the tracks and add (/music/7/Bitwig-Effects-review.html#audio-receiver)(or set input and activate monitoring) to each new track and take input from the specific channels of that FX Layer. Missing Features Automatic multi-out and multi-in routingĪutomatic multi-out Routing Currently if you place a multi-output VSTi on a track in Bitwig, there's no simple or automatic way to assign the outputs to their own individual (optionally grouped) tracks. 3rd party plug-ins load slow first time.Automatic multi-out and multi-in routing.
