Thank you!
Track 4 was the only oddball, since it was done live without processing.
For the other three, I recorded live material from the modular and processed them with my computer.
The general software chain was:
- Bitwig 2.3 for timestretching, pitch-shifting, and arrangement. This update was huge for me, as it added in all of the various timestretching algorithms. It is quickly becoming my primary.
- iZotope Neutron 2 and Ozone 8 for mixing on all tracks.
Track 1:
- Just the live recording pitched an octave down. I used bx_delay 2500 for the wide delay effects. The mix was modulated using two LFOs in Bitwig. That then runs through NI Molekular, which applied additional light delay, reverb, and vocoding.
Track 2:
- Two copies of the live recording, one pitched an octave up and stretched, the other pitched an octave down and stretched by the same amount. They’re processed in parallel by two instances of iZotope Trash 2, after which they then run through Analog Heat, Valhalla Vintage Verb, and bx_2098 EQ.
Track 3:
- Two copies of the live recording, one without pitchshifting and the other an octave up. Both run through the same instances of bx_2098 EQ, Trash 2, and Black Box HG-2. A third bass voice comes in, which is a timestretched copy of the recording shifted an octave down (otherwise untouched).
I ended up not using any of our Unfiltered plugins as we’re running through a major code overhaul at the moment, so things are too much in flux there.
Absolutely! Thank you for sharing the excellent script. I think that sort of sharing spirit is what makes these open-source projects so exciting.
