Actually have you watched this? (timestamped link), that looks like a setup that better would fit your needs.

Can you just physically line out to line in? I can't think of a better way though there may be one.

I usually watch YouTube and find samples on my phone so I download there. I used to use NewPipe but it broke for a bit and I the found Seal. If you're on Android do you have F-Droid?
Sorry for the YT short link I'd mirror if I thought I was posting to anyone but the void
Bonus points go to whoever can tell the song I sampled

Bitwig Studio! Came for the grid, then barely ended up touching it since the whole DAW is so modular.
Once again I've bounced out a project I was working on in Bitwig, chopped it up in Koala, and resampled it to hell.
Interesting points brought up my a prominent Bitwig user. What are your thoughts?

The mod strip on the Keystep is very nice and I'm not sure I could go back to a mod wheel tbh. That's an interesting technique I'll have to try. What I love about bitwig is how it's built on small tools and everyone will come up with their unique way of applying them. I've been hooked on Amigo Sampler since it launched (very reasonably priced) and still come up with new ideas and how to build upon previihs ones. New Amigo update made the root key modulatable so I've been having fun with that.

It's hard to name one, basically just experimenting with the various modulation modules. For example recently I played around with the Select-4 one (low quality rec) to make stretch and phase adjustments at varying degrees.
Have you played around with the modulators at all? Or have any other general questions?

It seems my posts and comments take a while to reach other instances if ever. Any transparency on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for running this place.
I will post a non YT Short link momentarily (though I wouldn't mind the views for the algorithm).
Any projects or demos you'd like to share or talk about? Exploring any new sound design or composition techniques?

I still think Rent-to-Own via Splice is a better deal for new users (two years upgrade with no additional cost/interest) but if you already have a copy this is a good way to renew your upgrade license. For those who don't know, unlike Reason for example, which has a subscription model where access is lost upon cancelling, Bitwig offers one year of all upgrades after purchase but you never lose access to the software and upgrades licenses can be purchased whenever a new update tempts you. If you feel like the current version you have is enough there's no need for additional payment. People would even buy it on sale and wait to activate however I cannot confirm this is still possible. In a world of ever numerous subscriptions I appreciate the more fair approach to long-term monetization. Also, despite my bitwig love as far as I know FL Studio still offers updates indefinitely after a one time purchase, which I have to respect, but innovation is worth regularly investing in my eyes.

I had a similar experience. I could finally access things by luckily I went mostly secondhand or software based. Still, GAS is very real and we all must reach our breaking point.
MIDI and the surface level tech aspects were a good overlap of interest as well. But I still think there's some more for me to learn there. Especially with midi sync.

This is a great read, thank you for sharing. While I do appreciate just how cheaply I was able to get a studio like setup at home I do still take things like automation for granted. The world we're living in now in terms of accessibility of tools is unreal.
