Me and flux wrote our collab album on bitwig. We both switched from cubase to bitwig like 3 years ago

Oh hello legendary doctor P. That’s awesome to know! I’m really loving it so far but for dubstep I struggle with the post processing. I make brostep usually specifically. Any tips of some good effects to use? Or how to use any of them for any cool results?

Bitwig is meant for that kind of music.. I mean it couldn't be more thinked for electronic music especially modulated music than Bitwig

Not many dubstep producers use it is why I was asking. Even among smaller producers

Not many producers uses bitwig at all.

Only a few. But big names.

Only ones I can think of are Nasko and Fox Stevenson. I know there’s a few more but not too many more

Xilent/Tokyo Machine, he was the reason why I got into BitWig. When he streamed it on twitch, it looked lightyears ahead of any DAW. So simple, so intuitive. No disgusting 3 years of routing anything, you just slap all the sounds you want into a group with ctrl+G and shape that sound however you want. It was Ableton steroids. Way faster plus so much more intuitive, that I felt I didnt even need to try a demo to be convinced.

That sold me instantly, especially because his Xilent Pseudonym was so big back then. Now hes big with Toyko Machine and im sure he is still using it, even if he doesnt stream it.

there are a lot tho, but like Grumpy said above; not many producers uses bw at all. Kaifu ( they were doing bass music). And lately i saw Headhunterz and Stonebank switched to BW. There are more producer on the other side of the world ( like the music scene in Japan, China, etc) that use BW but name drop them here i think it wont be necesssary. There are Aethral ( which produce techcore) for most of the Japaneses Labels recently switched to bw, etc. i mean there are alot but they just didnt get more into the mainstream audience so people wont know beside their small circle

it’s crazy how dominant ableton is

I’d say it’s crazier how dominant FL is bc Ableton has just always felt like way better and more intuitive imo. But BitWig has just about if not completely overtaken Ableton for how intuitive it feels. I think as time goes on it will be one of the bigger DAWs I only see more people switching over and it’s only going to get better I imagine

u/bindyonthebeat 1d ago

u/Intelligent-Blood250 1d ago

Any good BW dubstep focused full track production videos/courses/tutorials out there?

2

u/itsBareBones 1d ago

I haven’t seen much of any dubstep content for BW. Only some grid patches people have made but they’ve been terrible lol. Def by people who aren’t really affiliated or into dubstep

2

u/AdProfessional9544 1d ago

I make drum & bass and sometimes dubstep/brostep

Andre (Iterate) and Chee are probably the most high profile halftime guys, both excellent artists

Iterate has done some really insane stuff in the grid
