Fleer 8,015 Posted May 7, 2021 You get RBass as a Bitwig owner and you get Bitwig 8 as a Waves user. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seriously though, where do I show that I'm a Waves' user to get Bitwig 8-Track (maybe that's what I'm missing)? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Either that or the aura of someone who keeps too much old crap for too long. I prefer the first one. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pbognar 141 Posted May 7, 2021 Do you remember the joy and amazement of being able to record 4 tracks, overdub and bounce, all in the same machine? 🤩 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hidden Symmetry 1,394 Posted May 7, 2021 I bought a Teac 144 in '79 & took it on the road for 10 years. It finally wore out but still I have about 200 cassettes of tunes & jams. Cool unit for the time... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Would they need the portastudio to do that, not just a normal tape deck? What I did, at the cost of some sound quality; 1) Connect a standard cassette deck to e.g. Cakewalk 2) Play the 4-track tape forward, record it to tracks 1 and 2 3) When it ends, turn it over and play it (backwards), record it to tracks 3 and 4 4) Reverse tracks 3 and 4 (I think I used Audacity) That gave me all four tracks, though I may have had to do a bit of time-stretching to make them line up start to finish. But they did finally, and the process helped me appreciate again the wonders of DAWs. Edited May 8, 2021 by fpoir 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bitwig 8 tracks has been handed out for free so many times, with magazines (Computer Music, Beat), various promotions, etc. Kind of how Live Lite used to be given away by everyone and their dog in the 2000s.
