Recently ditched everything Windows and Mac and started using Bitwig on Arch Linux.
I’m finding it difficult to use, specifically navigating the workspace. Protools and ableton felt a bit more intuitive to me personally.
Does anybody know of any resources, courses, or tutorials they found useful?
Any tips or tricks?
RTFM. Bitwig has a shitload of capabilities and built in tools, just like Ableton. The workflow is just different.
Change your default view style. They have different presets for different types of work being done and if you’re rocking a single or dual screen setup. Changing these can be a major help.
The details are in the sidebar. If there’s a control that you’re thinking an object (effect, clip, instrument, etc) should have, it very well may be showing up on one of the side bars. Reading the manual will also help with understanding what to expect here.
Learn it without external plugins first. Just like ableton, the built in instruments and plugins are very good, and the presets contain a ton of modulation routing that shows off the insane depth that bitwig allows for assigning modulators. That’s its biggest strength, tbh.
Good luck! It’s really worth the time to learn!
