This bit from Bitwig's official channel, presented by Alexander Ewald, focuses specifically on the send effect configuration for external hardware units in Bitwig Studio. Rather than placing hardware on an insert, the approach here routes audio through a dedicated FX track, letting one physical unit serve multiple sources simultaneously.
The setup uses the HW FX device on a return track, with send levels controlled per channel. Setting the HW FX mix to 100% wet keeps the return signal clean and parallel, which is the standard way to run reverbs, delays, or any hardware you want shared across a session.
Ewald also shows how to add additional plugin processing after the hardware return, useful for shaping the wet signal before it hits the mix. It's a practical routing pattern that mirrors how hardware sends work in a traditional studio console setup, adapted cleanly for the DAW environment.
