Tech Tips Vol.96 TUTORiAL

HiDERA | 15 January 2025 | 1.6 GB

It’s a new year, and we’re kicking things off in style with a new set of Tech Tips! In these ten new tips, Nate uses the DAW to do a lot of heavy lifting by generating epic evolving drones and melodies perfect for ambient music and background atmospheres in your tracks. Using Bitwig’s powerful modulators and Polygrid functions, we create seemingly complex patches and pleasing synth sound designs. Once we throw them into huge reverbs and delays, the outcome is mind-blowing! Although these tips showcase Bitwig’s capabilities, if you have access to LFOs, many of the ideas generated here can be replicated across different DAWs. The possibilities are endless, and as Nate shows, it’s just a case of experimenting and having fun! Check it out!

We look at some complex chord structures, live automation, background effects, and a cool parallel harmony technique before tackling the arrangement and transitions.
The final result is a smooth house track that captures many of Disclosure’s signature sounds.
