Voice Stacks is one of my favourite features! The new stuff is great

[nilskozstum]

The voice solo feature makes precise usage of voice stacking so much easier. Great new feature!

[aaronmyrie]

I fucking love this DAW. Love it!!!! I've never wanted to master something so bad in my life, except my own mind 😅

Hopefully one day I can buy it

Thanks for this update. It’s nice to have more sound design options. However there you guys from Bitwig should be more focused on community requests.
Base on comments a little list.

- MIDI comping
- Capture listening MIDI (like Ableton)
- Video suport
- Scale highlight or scale lock, chords etc….
- Improve automations and midi editor
- Allowing MIDI exports that don't have the entire project in them (e.g. a single clip)
- Skin editor, dark mode for arrangement etc..
- Correct handling of sustain and other pedals in clips (apparently that one is on the road map, I asked).
- Being able to export in different tracks each pad/instruments of the Drum Machine device
- A good and simple freeze function
- VariAudio type of editor


I know that you guys from Bitwig are passionate about what you do. But you need to start looking more at what the community is asking for.

As an Ableton user who is keeping an eye on Bitwig, I must say that the sound design part is becoming overwhelming (from outside at least), while essential workflow requests are getting ignored. This is why I won't switch to Bitwig or renew my upgrade plan too soon. I'm feeling that Bitwig is so close to become the greatest DAW, but it's just shooting itself in the foot. My 50 cents.

The new changes to voice stacking are an absolute killer feature. Soloing voices! Just marvellous. Thank you, bitwig Team!

[adamsmith]

This is a feature on Strobe 2. I used it a lot, to distribute voices between different filters, oscillator mixes, Envelope and Lfo depths, all sorts of stuff. I've only got into Bitwig recently and I'm looking forward to experimenting with this..

Some truly nice sound design in this demo

[Beatsmithdotorg]

Every update is like I'm back in linear algebra class getting my mind melted - think of the possibilities

[JohannesAgust]

Please add see through gridlines. I really wanna make Bitwig my main daw.

[pixelwash]

These look really good, I look forward to spending some time with them.

[turtletheorytv]

please add an option for dark arrangement background. no need for full theme support — just dark mode for arrangement view will suffice. thank you.

also, great tutorial on voice stacking! (just can’t let opportunities for this longstanding accessibility feature go in-requested 😅)

[DarrinNoNAME]

Man. If you yaw added something like a chopping feature to the sampler to perform chops on the drum rack. This would likely be my go to daw for mostly everything . If you all added something more for the hip hop producer, bitwig would have just about everything for everybody.

[SamHocking]

Please make it possible to assign each voice in the stack to a multi-out so we can get individual control and for use in spatial audio workflows too!

[JamesTindall]

I feel like this guy’s voice could sell a gas guzzling muscle car to Greta Thunberg

[waqarshahofficial]

PLEASE ADD CHORD TRACK AND ARRENGER TRACK

[lionbird]

Been waiting for an update or sale on digital performer for a long time. Long enough that Bitwig has had about 5 major updates and sales in that time. Bitwig is awesome and in comparison puts Motu to shame with new features added. Sorry Motu but you really need to change something because Bitwig is really kicking you arss these days. Bigtime.

[cristianoalveirinho]

will, u ever going to add skin options ? i know ur refining the daw ( and i respect that) but im sick of looking at grey and orange, i pay for bitwig and to renovate subscription, and i feel like you listen to ppls needs, but u listen to a certain point, it's like it doesnt matter for u guys (its not a game changer but would be appreciated for ppl that like to personalize things if you guys add themes option, and i know its not so hard to do), (or so long to do it) u guys release feature after feature and u could have done this ages ago. Plz attend more to ppls requests, more ppl ask for this its not just me . Besides that u are doing a freaking good job

"Nature's golden relationship..." Yes, very nice, but when are you going to finish this product? I love and use Bitwig but I'm so frustrated... it won't be a real DAW until it fully supports MIDI, and at the moment I am forced to run Cubase alongside it to cover the things it can't do. PLEASE focus on the ESSENTIALS at some point. (In case you're wondering, I'm referring in part to the way piano pedals are dropped from MIDI export, which makes it utterly useless.)

[Aleksandr-youtube]

I love Bitwig so much, but...!

First of all - we need ready tools for creating music, not anyone wants to spend a time with grid by trying to build plugin that we could use in one simple view like in other DAWs or just 3rd party plugins.

What i am waiting in next versions of Bitwig.

- Vintage compressor(maybe different emulations)
- mix knob for old compressor and dynamic plugin
- multiband compressor (ott maybe)
- dynamic EQ with sc
- multiband distortion with different types of distortion at any band
- Reverb + (with really good sound)
- Shimmer reverb of shimmer mode for Reverb +
- supermassive reverb like black hole of mode for Reverb+
- build-in unison for PHASE 4
- dark grey arranger view(main space with audio and midi clips)
- reworked NEW browser
- bunch of EDM ready fat kick and snares sound library
- second oscillator for polymer and build-in unison
- FM4 + (unison, ability to draw waveforms)
- Granular synthesizer
- pattern sequencer mode for key editor
- FM oscillator for grid(polymer) that contains 4 operators in one module
- fm modulation for Polysynth
- NEW vintage synth with fat sound
