In today's video, we look at using Next Actions in Bitwig's Clip Launcher to generate totally unique arrangements for your songs. By feeding Bitwig different samples and having it "pick" which parts of which sample to play when, we can create music in a way that is virtually impossible to replicate manually.

While this arrangement was definitely more tame, you can always start to implement the operators within the events of the clips as well, and even drag other samples into clips as new audio events.
Bitwigs audio editing is the best
My take on samples is this: In visual art you have visual design and you have illustration/artists. Designers typically work with various photos images and/or simple shape and texts to composite together and make a new piece. Illustrators/artists create their images from scratch (as it were). Both disciplines are valid and can serve the exact same type of purposes for either comercial needs and/or creative expression. They're also not mutually exclusive, as you can be a designer who uses their own illustrations in a design, or you can be an illustrator who uses design techniques to augment their initial drawing.
So, i look at producers who use samples as audio "designers" and people who create their own compositions as "illustrators/artists" one is not better than the other, as the outcome should be: does anyone want to listen to your final track? And if so, will they enjoy it.
I've way more original music from using samples recently rather than those who claim "only real music is when a musicna performs it". And this is coming from an old school metal head who is still trying to come to grips with all the genres and subgenres electronic based music 😂
That's a great take! Well said :)
Thank you!!! And man, my typos and wacky grammars! I shall edit this so it's more legable. (Stay tuned)
Hows the edit goin?😂@@buckycore
NLA benefit using Clip launcher or Session Views is the reasons why I love Ableton * and now bitwig. Especially for jolting some ideas, automation arrangements etc before going into full music productions . Either using loops - sample pack you`ve bought or by creating those elements yourself
its always easy to forget; the bottom status bar is interactive and tells you shortcuts. so at 1:52 on PC when you drag the samples look on the bottom and itll tell you which modifier key inserts the samples as single track!
Cheers man, this is absolute gold! I’m full of ideas now involving recording clips from my modular and using this process… Cheers again!
Fabulous idea! I'll have to plug in the rig again myself and have a play too ❤️
Damn dood! That was some sample wizardry on a level I've never seen the likes of. Sheesh
Aww thank you friend!
Brilliant video! This is incredibly useful.
This is honestly mind blowing for D n B! Thank you very much!!!
You are absolutely FANTASTIC TÂCHE!!! I always get and learn so much from your vids. You using samples In this manner is like having a pallet of paints where you mash and combine the colors in endless varieties of ways to paint a n incredible painting.. 😎Absolutely love it !!!
I've just spent a month figuring out how to do this in Transfuser. To see it demonstrated for Bitwig in forty minutes is amazing! Well done.
Fantastic and thank you! Just checked out Transfuser and it looks pretty rad.
It's an absolute beast. The developers tried to cram too much into it, and the interface is awful. They gave up officially supporting it about ten years ago. But it can still do some phenomenal things -- very, very quickly, once you get the hang of it. And with a bit of fiddling you can extract the samples for use elsewhere -- directly in Bitwig, for example.
If you really want to look into it, it comes up on special quite often.@
Genius! Another great tutorial. Thanks!!!
This was beyond brilliant. Fantastic technique!
Super tutorial. Thank you Lex 🥰
Tâches, it’s a great tutorial. Thank you for share your knowledge. Regards from Valencia (Spain)
Mindblowing...happy accidents everywhere! Thanks!
Glad you dug it mate! Thanks for watching ❤️
Very cool. Thanks 👍
Best Bitwig tutorial.
This os the yummy, yummy stuff of Bitwig, man. This is going to be good!
All hail our Bitwig overlords 🙏
Groovin n moovin here ty 💕💃💕
Yay! Thank you ❤️
i have bitwig studio and installed all the packages, I think. I don't see those guitar samples you're using - what is the source for those? Great tutorial BTW, thanks!
Super groovy ;)
Thank you! ❤️
Juicy
That's very cool! thanks mate! unfortunately I experience a bug where after few bars it start go out of sync and back to sync again. i checked that my settings are ok and the loop is set exactly on the beats. any idea? Thanks!
Hmmm curious! Could you upload a short video of this happening?
Hey bro, just curious, it seems you used segments module and named it sidechain and used it to control sidechain globally? How do you trigger it? Or is it curves module set to quarter note?
It's triggered by the 'SC' channel which is an empty instrument channel with a clip with a 4x4 note on :)
Nice one! Will finish the video tomorrow! :) Question: Do you also have a workflow, where you use the record button for recording in arranger? Maybe a video (aside from the "printing audio" vid) i missed?
Concerning the workflow of "building an (pre-)arrangement live, by creating a song on the fly in clip launcher while recording everything into the arranger":
I just recently found out a pretty sad thing about Bitwig, after trying to record my Cliplauncher Liveperformance live into the arranger.
1
Arm on Selection” does not work, while recording into the Arranger is active.
2
Undo/Redo does not work, while recording into the Arranger is active. (No Undo for a liveperformer... That’s sad, dear Bitwig, please help 😅)
3
When recording into the arranger is active, and you record Audio or Midi into a Clip-Slot of the Launcher, the Audio or Midi-Notes are not recorded into the Arranger. Only Midi-CC(Automation) is recorded into the Arranger, while Clip-Recording is active. Notes and Audio are ‘swallowed’ by the clip-recording.
Just sharing this, to tell people who encounter this "you’re not alone" 😅 (wrote a feature request to Bitwig btw)
You can record live clip performance to Arranger, only when you playback them. Simple idea, you do not need to record the same thing in two places at the same time. Record clips and then, play clips while main record button is enabled.
@@orhanylmaz8145 it’s easy to assume what others do or don't need, haha. I need it. Why? Because i see the arranger as recorder for everything the DAWSessionView is outputting in any given moment. And that's not only my view on things. Ableton works like that. In Ableton live recorded clips land in the arranger. I just recently switched to Bitwig. That’s why i asked Bitwig to please include it. Because in general, i very much prefer Bitwig.
@@sternenherz hmm then you can try to press record button before starting to record clips in Session view. It might solve the problem
@@orhanylmaz8145 thanks! It doesn’t help, but appreciate the hint :) i will wait for Bitwigs answer on the topic
🕺👏🎶👏🕺
Quick question, is the 'legato from clip(or start)' something from Bitwig 5 or am I missing something?
Edit: Yes it is!
Curious why you recorded the clips to send tracks and then arranged on send tracks? Was it just to have the arrangement at the end of the arranger and not up with the source tracks? (Fantastic result btw!)
Spot on! It was just to keep things tidy and separated.
@ ah okay I thought there might be something unique about them that I was unaware of.
Hello Taches, what's up.
Hello mate! 👋 Just deciding on what to make for din dins. I'm thinking a juicy burger might be on the cards.
I bought Bitwig, 16 nights ago. So I'm 15 days new (at 63 years old). I've been trying to follow your tutorial here and in the beginning you talk about the Clip View / Session View.. My Timeline is not visible but your Scenes are vertical and mine are horizontal. Where is the magic button?
If you press TAB or down in the bottom left click Mix (currently you have Arrange selected) you will get to the vertical view. Welcome to the Bitwig family friend!
@ Thanks! kinda a Duh moment for me too, not spotting you were just in the mixer.
What kind of wizardry is this?
