From there you can insert whatever effects or processing you desire, separately for each side. Simply put your stereo file ("clip") in 2 separate channels ("tracks"), effectively 'multing' it. Pardon me if I'm misunderstanding, but that last part in particular is fairly easy in Ableton (the only DAW I can really speak to). I'm hoping they bring that in the next major version update. If Bitwig let you load VST plugins directly into the Grid, it would be 100% modular, and you could mix and process multiple channels of audio in one big patch. It's easy to route through hardware this way, a bit less so to route to a plugin (but it can be done). The downside here is that you can't directly put VST plugins into the Grid as modules - you need to use the built-in Grid modules or do some routing. Or you can use the Grid, run the input signal through a Mid/Side Split module, process the two and then combine them with a Mid/Side Merge module, and route it to the output. (There's another one for Left/Right, and a couple of them for multiband splitting.) This example for instance: there's a Mid/Side device, where you can put different VST plugins into the two channels and it automatically recombines them. While Bitwig still does have "track" orientation, you can do all kinds of routing, and there's usually more than one way to do things. And yes, think you are right - what I am looking for is a lightweight audio manipulation platform that can host VSTs. Thanks for these tips! Gig Performer 3 also looks interesting. i could not grasp with them.but we all differ. Try first the demo ! works for 30 days, fully functional.Įdit: i tryed others which have that modular approach too. Look at it at "plugin alliance", there´s every now and then a sale, GP3 for 99$. its made by professional musicians, finally. GP is tailored towards minimal Latency ! it is super stable !. There are a few who do what you want it seems. These apps are called: "VST-Host" btw.but not all work the same way/ tailored for the same workflow. there is a Forum with a super good community. in modular, seems way harder than it should be in Logic as an example where even separating the L/ R channels seems stupidly hard. This would be so easy with an inverter, summing mixer, etc. I want to separate the right and left channel so I can get the mid and side and then put different FX on each, then recombine back to stereo. Side note - in case it’s helpful to understand what I think is hard. I guess at its heart, I find the modular environment extremely logical, but DAWs are bloated overkill that require a very different mindset. Things like Audulus or PD seem too low level to me.ĭoes this make any sense at all? Does anything like this exist? Have signals coming in and can easily route this to a Audio Unit or VST for processing, not where these are in tracks but rather as modules. What I want is something that is almost an extension of the modular environment. Setting things up to go through Aux tracks seems in efficient (to me) and apply the equivalent of control voltages almost impossible. I find the DAWs to all be very “track” oriented and as such it’s seems hard to visualize the signal flow, do simple audio processing tasks, etc. What I am looking for is something that is more modular in its approach. However, I think there is a place for the computer in my workflow, I just haven’t found that right DAW yet. As a result I really don’t record much of the music I make on my modular and when I do, it’s mainly just to stereo on a Zoom H4N. I have tried playing with several DAWs (Ableton, Logic, Bitwig) and generally find them to be extremely uninspiring.
