I was always been thinking that I needed a more modular approach to the basic DAW software I would be using. I understand that is not a DAW in the traditional sense but has anyone been using it like that and has to say anything about restrictions compared to the most common DAWs? Audio plugins in pro tools with plogue bidule software# I'm mostly into IDM-electronica-experimental kind of stuff, and I have abandoned soft synths for a long time for the sake of my waldorf uQ and Electribe SX. My, until now, way of working has been sequencing hardware from the computer and mixing(with a motu 828 mk II card) and (most important) altering my sound with twisted vst plugins. So what do you think? I'm open to similar kind of products, considering that it's in a same price category with the bidule.īidule has a fair amount of low-level audio & midi processing modules, it's quite nice in that respect. It makes a great 'live' instrument host with a lot of creative potential. ![]() No global PDC of course since it is a realtime environment, so if you're doing parallel processing try to stick with either 0 latency plugins or do some manual correction.Īlso since there's no single global tempo, you can do everything tempo-wise from a single tempo assigned to each object (that needs it) to freewheeling multiple tempos at once (including syncing something to external midi clock or even multiple external clocks.) Only 1 tempo per object (vst, vsti or bidule module.) Midi recording is very bare and you'll either want to sequence with the step sequencers or edit midi externally (if you're looping midi in Bidule) but there are other workflows I think are better for that (more below.) The same more or less applies to audio, though it can of course record & playback via multiple different modules. Audio plugins in pro tools with plogue bidule manual# Now in reality my typical studio workflow is to run Bidule via another PC, Rewire or occasionally as a plugin. Since Bidule can also host plugins you could always use something like EnergyXT and/or Audiomulch (and so on) either inside of Bidule as a plugin or in the case of EnergyXT perhaps hosting Bidule as a plugin. Audio plugins in pro tools with plogue bidule software#. ![]() Audio plugins in pro tools with plogue bidule manual#.This is both a benefit and a drawback: Mulch and Bidule both lack the kinds of MIDI sequencing abilities that your other preferred programs have, but this means that you can work more directly with sound and play with the considerable routing possibilities that BiduleMulch (to coin a term) has to offer. The Mulch/Bidule double-whammy would be a very different kind of music-making than anything involving Logic, MainStage or Digital Performer. ![]() As far as I know, Mulch still lacks Rewire, so you can use Bidule and Mulch together by loading Bidule as a VST plugin within Mulch. There is a fair bit of overlap in functionality between Mulch and Bidule, but they really are pretty diverse in the range of things they can do. Bidule pros: very powerful (in many ways it rivals the power of sound 'programming languages' like Csound, Max/MSP and PD), but easier to use more MIDI capability than Mulchīidule cons: steep learning curve rough user interface not always the most stable (but most of the instability seems to come from third-party plugins)ĪudioMulch pro: easy and fun to use, fairly open-endedĪudioMulch cons: no way to save 'groups' of contraptions as you can do in Bidule, less of a 'programming language' and more of an audio patcher.
