Week 30 of #WeeklyBeats I feel like ‘Our Beloved Piss + Gary’ deserves an explanation, I can only offer this photo I took in a Melbourne bar about a year ago. For those using #Bitwig this started with exploring the new beta Sampler feature that munges an entire sample on to one detected pitch. I’m applying that to a grubby old recording of bass guitar and was excited by how it went wrong. 😅 https://weeklybeats.com/jetjaguar/music/cosy-attitude #Musodon #ElectronicMusic

After the sickness I was in need to create some new music. So I did this little #ambient #music piece called "Floating Embers" with Grainferno and some u-he synths in #Bitwig Studio 6.1 beta 4. https://soundcloud.com/ravetracer-ngc-224/floating-embers

Week 29 of #WeeklyBeats My main aims for doing something unlike usual this week were a chopped and screwed hip-hop beat. Slushy. I wrote my own groove, about 95bpm, then bounced and resampled that, pitching it down -5 semitones which from memory is about the drop in speed and pitch from a 45 record being played at 33 1/3. https://weeklybeats.com/jetjaguar/music/cosy-attitude #Musodon #ElectronicMusic #Bitwig

Week 27 of #WeeklyBeats “Jhol Momo” is a kind of generative thing: I tried to build a little system that spits out notes in a musical way and then work with the results. Gentle piano and a wiggly mono synth in conversation. I resent that “generative AI” has kind of poisoned the well when talking about generative anything, but I am talking more like what you could do with tape loops, but software, than like prompting an LLM. https://weeklybeats.com/jetjaguar/music/jhol-momo-3 #Musodon #ElectronicMusic #Bitwig

Week 28 of #WeeklyBeats “Y” is auditory slug gurgling, experimenting with a lot of spectral stuff and taking inspiration from Topdown Dialectic / False Aralia. https://weeklybeats.com/jetjaguar/music/y #Musodon #ElectronicMusic #Bitwig

@amadeus@mstdn.social Hey. I'm so grateful, and I'm really glad to know you. Switched from Windows to Linux for music production, but I'm stuck with @Bitwig Splice Rent-to-Own licensing issues. The Linux version locks me out because it can't find the Splice daemon. Anyone found a recent, stable workaround for this? 🐧🎛️ #LinuxAudio #Bitwig #Splice

Huh, I just realised it's very easy to create a wet-only (delta) version of an fx plugin's output in #Bitwig, if the plugin doesn't do it natively. Put the plugin into an FX Container. Add a Tool to the container as well, and invert both channels. That's it. I hope this is helpful, might be something a lot of people figured out a long time ago. :) I am using it to create a spectral vocoder out of Trackspacer - it would work with Soothe too, if you have that. There's also a free plugin called Anina that does this.

Hey, can any of you Bitwig on Linux people confirm whether the "can't drag a file from your desktop into the timeline" issue is fixed in the latest version of Bitwig? #bitwig #LinuxAudio

Week 21 of #WeeklyBeats - "No Notes" is a pun on trying to write a piece of music with only noise / percussion. Of course there end up being pitches in there, but it was fun to do. It's almost entirely #FieldRecordings but arranged into rhythmic patterns, which I talk about in the process notes on my blog. https://weeklybeats.com/jetjaguar/music/no-notes #Musodon #Bitwig #ElectronicMusic #Beats

Week 22 of #WeeklyBeats "Blotch" is sort of sludgey house (?), my attempt to recreate a sound I have in my head where things sound pitched down and dark (as opposed to bright, not as opposed to cheerful). https://weeklybeats.com/jetjaguar/music/blotch #Musodon #Bitwig #ElectronicMusic #Beats #techno

Week 23 of #WeeklyBeats "Moraic" is me trying to steer away from a genre exercise and instead make music that uses a bunch of very typically me techniques, but just about 30-40bpm faster than the range I normally work at. I also chose to write in C major, which is pretty unusual for me. Blogging about my process I realised how often I set up modulation that alters the shape or character of sounds (or even pitches, in the case of using an arpeggiator) and for example having an LFO that runs for 11/16ths in one case and another that is 31 dotted 8ths or something. Just looping patterns that, especially when heard in context, feel either random or evolving. Not sure if I'm describing that! clearly https://weeklybeats.com/jetjaguar/music/moraic-2 #Musodon #Bitwig #ElectronicMusic

Week 24 of #WeeklyBeats

"Trash Hand" is more of a formal experiment than usual:

  • one sound source
  • more silence
  • no filters.

Basically just looping one chord, modifying the shape of the synth each time, and putting a small number of delay fx on each individual note.

Week 25 of #WeeklyBeats

"Secondary Modern" is repeating the same aims as last week, while doing something different:

  • one sound source
  • more silence
  • no filters.

Holy polymetric marimba parts, Batman! What is this, Steve Reich?

Week 26 of #WeeklyBeats "Time" is just getting a thing done, ended up with a sort of 5/4 dub feel thing... also for those #Bitwig folks I did a bunch of playing with the new sampler features, which I wrote about in the process notes. https://weeklybeats.com/jetjaguar/music/time #Musodon #ElectronicMusic

Okay, so I'm making #ElectronicMusic and as with every #hobby, there's an expense and thousands of companies vying for your hard earned cash. You can absolutely argue that #AudioPlugins are an extremely frivolous thing to buy because stock #DAW devices are so good these days and I'd agree with you, especially (for me) in the case of #Bitwig Studio 6.1. That said, they don't cover every eventuality and there is probably a plugin for exactly that. Outside of the DAW there's a massive headache waiting for anyone who has more than a small handful of plugins. I've somehow amassed about 670+ of the buggers and that *IS* ridiculous. Imagine keeping them all up-to-date manually. Yeah, that. There's a myriad of ways, branded managers and installers, direct downloads, and even manually dropping files into folders. This is a nightmare and there really hasn't been an app that attempts to at least make this problem easier to manage. Enter: #PluginHub https://www.pluginhubapp.com I caught this app on a random YouTube recommendation and saw an interview with the developer, Zach. The app seemed like a no brainer for me, so I installed it and when the demos had run, I instabought it for the very reasonable $29.99 for a two seat (!) licence. Zach offers very generous options for for studios, education, etc. The aim of the app is to catalogue your plugins and flag any that need updating and helps you get those updates done by pointing you to the sites, downloaders and managers you need to use in order to keep your stuff up-to-date. Obviously not every brand and plugin is covered here and that is one of the things Zach is actively working on with plugin companies themselves. It is basically a very neatly laid out plugin database and version comparator. Simple idea, not so simple in execution. Cat herding would be more rewarding, I'm sure! The app is new and has some minor bugs, but nothing major and nothing that makes it not useful in the extreme, day one. I chatted with Zach back and forth over email regarding a bug I was experiencing, not so much a fault of PluginHub, but a slightly botched update by a vendor's updater app itself! He is super happy to hear about bugs and issues, is very responsive and friendly to boot. He is actively working on the app for #macOS exclusively at the moment (SORRY!) but a #Windows version is in the pipeline with #Linux under consideration. Anyways, not an ad lol, just a very happy and excited user, knowing this will be useful for many #Musodon peeps recording in the box, using plugins. #ElectronicMusic #Music @electronicmusic@fedigroups.social #Ableton #AbletonLive #Reaper #LogicPro #ReasonStudios #VST #VSTs #VST3 #CLAP #AAX #FenderStudioPro #FLStudio #ProTools #Cubase #Audio #Studio

Week 3 of WeeklyBeats. WeeklyBeatless, more like... I tried making a piece of music with no regard for timing. It's largely playing notes and improvising with the Sealegs emulation that Chris @ambientspace@cloudisland.nz made and kindly gives away as a #Bitwig preset, although I then processed the recordings further. Lots of explanation on the page if you're interested. I successfully resisted calling it "Mr. Rubato". https://weeklybeats.com/jetjaguar/music/rubato #WeeklyBeats2026 #Musodon #Ambient #AmbientMusic

Week 4 of WeeklyBeats, free to listen to and download if you like.

I'm trying to explore new things (for me) each week, this time I:

  1. used synthetic sounds (no recording or sampling - until I forgot at the end, oops),
  2. only use a step sequencer (Stepwise, like an old school drum machine interface, but in my software of choice #bitwig ), instead of either playing or writing notes in like sheet music, and
  3. once again keep it relatively upbeat, compared to my usual sub-100bpm slow motion...

Although it kicks off all polymetric and a bit spiky, it settles into something more dance-y quickly.
