Update: I changed some of the default settings and inner ratio correlations, so it matches more with the OTT VST at 50% depth, 100% up/down, 100% time and 0 in and out gain. It doesnt sound exactly the same, but it comes close.

In this video, Dave Linnenbank demonstrates how to create a simple compressor in Bitwig's Grid. After watching his tutorial, I created my own preset called D-OTT, a multi-band compressor/expander, and in this video, I showcase its features and functionality.

Key Points:

Dave's Tutorial: Demonstrates creating a basic compressor in Bitwig's Grid.

My Creation: Inspired by Dave, I created the D-OTT preset, a multi-band compressor/expander.

D-OTT Features:

Band Splitter: Uses Crossover 3 module to split frequencies at 88.3 Hz and 2.5 kHz.

Components: Each band has a compressor, expander, threshold, output gain, and makeup controls.

VU Meters: Gain reduction meters for visual feedback.

Sculpt EQ: Includes boosts at 60 Hz and 5 kHz, plus tube saturation for warmth.

Demonstration: Applied to an Addictive Drums preset to showcase its impact.

Free Download: The D-OTT preset is available for free download and customization.

this is too over the top - OTT in the Bitwig Grid

I tried to take the patch of Dave Linnenbank from his Compressor Tutorial ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EP9ACAvvLzc ) and make a 3-band compressor and expander out of it, in the same vein as OTT. It can really squeeze the signal and make it fat and warm, just how you like it.

When I use crossover 2 or 3 and then put it in an instrument layer with a flipped polarity tool I get to hear what crossover is adding...and it's a lot. It distorts a lot! I ended up using NIH CLAP crossover plugin which is linear phase 24db. It is 100% clean, no noise. I keep begging BW to give us a LP filter. What do you think?
