At least once a month, Iβm asked about the famous Ringmod Sidechain (RMSC), a technique for ducking the bass with the kick drum using ring modulation in a DAW. Itβs precise, but it can introduce distortion with certain kick and bass combinations. In this video, Iβll explain how to implement the RMSC in Bitwig easily and provide an FX Grid that offers options to precisely cut the bass with the kick drum. Download the presets (free): bit.ly/3NGSw39

![Bitwig Studio - Subscription, Pricing & Upgrading explained
Bitwig Studio is not a subscription but a perpetual license where you pay once for the current version and receive 12 months of free upgrades, after which your software still works, but you need to purchase a new upgrade plan for future updates. You can start with a smaller version and only pay the price difference when upgrading, and each license can be used on up to three computers at once. The upcoming Bitwig Studio 6 beta will be available soon, and there will be a live stream to explore its features together.
