Just curious to gauge how many Lemmy users utilize bitwig as their main DAW? As well, what kind of music genres do you tend to make? Post some of your material if you're down! I'll start:

Mostly do bass music at 88bpm, dnb at 172bpm, and guitar centric music at whatever bpm feels right. Here's twos tracks I have made with Bitwig:

I've been using Bitwig for about 2 years, though I didn't get much done since then. Bitwig has been pretty good so far, the workflow definitely feels better for electronic music than Ardour. I mostly do deep dubstep, but I'm playing around with all kinds of other (electronic) styles.

something I did with Bitwig last year: https://soundcloud.com/alphawand/solid-wip

I dig "Ohyeah3", good vibe and that's some pretty neat guitar playing.

    Nice track! Did you play guitar on that one? If so, what's your setup like? How did you program the drums, Did you use samples or were they synthesized? What kind of electronic music do you make?

    Thanks!

    I recorded the bass and guitar through my audio interface, for the bass I just used Bitwig's builtin EQ and compressor+limiter plugin like usual - never really saw the point in bass amp sims. For the guitar I used Audio Assault Amp-Locker, an amp sim. IIIRC the drums were sampled from a nu metal drum loop off YouTube.

    What kind of electronic music do you make?

    Aside from dubstep and similar halftime stuff, I dabble in french house (TBH my bass playing isn't really up to the task, and it feels lame to program electronic bass lines for this genre when bass is your main instrument), instrumental hiphop, some drum'n'bass and chiptune (I used a Game Boy with LSDj for that).
