My goodness, I am back in Reason remastering old tracks. OMFG it is no Bitwig Studio, but it’s the DAW that I started in back in the day.

Yeah there’s a ‘Best of Synaptyx [Remastered 2025]’ coming, but it’ll be a while. I’m just figuring out the best way to do it. I’m thinking get the stems out of Reason and master in Bitwig, but it’s kind of fun exercising the old Reason muscle memories, idk, we’ll see how it shakes out.

Fans of #BonkWave and users of #Bitwig please take note.

This #Buchla259 emulation is making me inordinately pleased with the performative promise of this preset. Metallic, FM, modulated tones and atonality are all a nudge of the dial or flick of a state away.

Offered as v1.5, this #BitwigStudio preset (made in v5.0) is available on my website. Please note the newer Bitwig version which was needed for newer Grid features.

Anyone out there want to try it?

One more awesome thing Bitwig does, which I alluded to but I don't think gets enough praise -- it lets you route virtual instruments and effects in all sorts of amazing ways. Basically, you can route bits and pieces of sound through other bits and pieces, which lets you craft sounds that I can't imagine getting to in any other way.

I LOVE my hardware studio, but #Bitwig is a powerhouse for creativity. I should be using it more often to at least create samples.

#LinuxAudio journey so far. I want to make #music on #Linux - it has not been an easy transitional process so far. I am now on my 4th iteration of #Ubuntu - this time with 25.04 (24.04 Studio was glitchy, 24.04.2 LTS would not install, 22.04 would not play audio from #Bitwig). Each iteration requires 2-4 hours to set up and test, but this is getting a little quicker with each cycle.

It has been challenging, but I am both stubborn and determined.
