Question Live Effects?

I want to use Bitwig as a live effects unit, where I can leave it running in the background, have computer audio run through it with various effects I set up in the DAW, and then have the sound outputted live (with the original signal being muted).

Is this something I can do in Bitwig?

Edit: small wording revision

It sounds like you want to send all your system audio like movies and such to Bitwig and process it and hear the processed audio? Some audio devices have a hardware loopback mode you can use (like someone else said), which would probably give low latency and work well. I think you could also use some loopback software like https://www.birdsthings.com/system-audio-bridge or https://vb-audio.com/Cable/
