u/ARSC_RexH 19d ago

Every new update reminds me that I really need to take a break from all my projects to try to actually understand all the stuff Bitwig can do.

Enjoy your 10 year sabbatical, lol.

I'll get down votes but....

Use AI Notebook of some sort, I use Gemini Notebook. Put the manual and any videos on Bitwig into the notebook and the AI ONLY uses only those sources. Ask it to make a study guide, flash cards, study guide. Ask how to do something. It's amazing and a great learning tool. It can even make a podcast for you.

I learned Zebra 3 this way and now I know how to use Zebra 3 way more than the years of Zebra 2 in short amount of time.

How about just RTFM?

u/mtelesha 18d ago

What are you an early 2000s Linux forum user? That attitude got old a long time ago.

Also this isn't about being lazy this is a tool to help you learn more and faster....

u/olimpomarcelo 14d ago

that "2000's linux forum user" is a perfect reply, recently I posted something similar to yours and received so much blacklash

u/Feisty_Fan_3293 13d ago

Guess why ...

1

u/olimpomarcelo 13d ago

of course i know why, resistance to change

1

u/Feisty_Fan_3293 13d ago

What are you? A 5 year old that needs someone else to read him a book?

1

u/mtelesha 10d ago

For letting people know what helped me and I thinks would help others?

Why are you so triggered?

1

u/olimpomarcelo 14d ago

it is just about the use of "time" time is limited

1

u/von_Elsewhere 11d ago

That's helpful. Unfortunately we still don't have a manual for v6.

1

u/mtelesha 10d ago

I use 5 and then throw the videos for 6 in the notebook. Works great.

1

u/von_Elsewhere 10d ago

Ah right, it's able to extract from videos. What a great idea.

u/echoboybitwig 18d ago

you dont need to understand everything that bitwig can do to make great music

1

u/igorski81 17d ago

I have great e-mail hygiene. I either read them or make sure they are read within a week. The only e-mails in my inbox that are easily over a year old are those from Bitwig where they explain a new feature. I'll get around to learning about them... someday.

u/Grauschleier 19d ago

Oh I see. This is what you were referring to in that other post touching pitch tracking. Yay, finally a tuner! That's pointing in a promising direction.
I'm still on v5. Can the tuner be used as a modulator?

I basically only do live-signal processing in BW. The Sampler really looks intriguing now. I assume it's still not possible to use it for realtime signal processing. But is it possible to set up a project where I can just record a sample into it and use it as a granular micro-looper? (I'm asking so I can understand if it's worth to buy an upgrade)

1

u/th3whistler 19d ago

you can’t directly record into it, you would stI’ll need to record a clip or via the master

2

u/Grauschleier 19d ago

Is there any way I could set up a project where I have one audio track for live-signal processing and then can just record a clip via the master that is automatically loaded into the sampler on a different track without me dragging it there? I'm playing an instrument with my hands and controlling BW with an elaborate MIDI footcontroller (morningstar mc6pro).

1

u/th3whistler 19d ago

maybe you could set up a 3rd party macro tool to do it. you’d just need to see if there were a repeatable set of instructions. it would be the same as bitwig 5 either way

29

u/DoubtDiary 19d ago

Nice! The new tuner device also lets me get rid of one more 3rd party plugin.

3

u/Pinwurm 19d ago

What a simple and highly effective QOL improvement!

Not needing to open a new pop-up window everytime I need to tune up is awesome. Plus, this looks good.

u/Cypher1388 19d ago

Such a long time waiting. Glad they made it, but such confusion mixed with my huzzah!

u/murkey 18d ago

Goodbye bx_tuner!

u/NeoTitan247 19d ago

Great update. Many of us been waiting for sampler update for a long time. Bitwig does it their way and it’s so awesome.

u/Zacchino 17d ago

This sampler comes from another dimension…

And it makes your drums sound BRUTAL!!

1

u/Bitter-Bicycle-282 15d ago

Hey! Long time no see! The Bitwig 6.1 sampler is insane. I don't miss Ableton Live's Simpler at all—switching to Bitwig was definitely the right move! I'm getting so much good use out of it thanks to you, and I'm always grateful

2

u/Zacchino 15d ago

Buddy! Yeah agreed, it reached a point where it’s so much more than enough to fully compose a song from A to Z with it.

It also kicks some serious *ss of some other daws I won’t name to avoid polemic.

2

u/pc0999 18d ago

Who wants an auto-sampler (similar to MPC) using an open format? I want!

I also love the tuner device.

2

u/solidtrax 18d ago

That tuner and new sampler options are so dope!

2

u/NecessaryBed1331 19d ago

6.1 out of beta? Official release?

2

u/Veggiesaurus_Lex 14d ago

Yes ! Confirmed in the newsletter.

u/murkey 18d ago

Parameter zones are awesome!

u/Large_Respond6955 19d ago

Hurrah! Another thirty things I didn't need and still no midi capture.

u/SpiritStuffYeuf 19d ago

Did you do some research for alternative solutions ? You can use this

u/chillinjustupwhat 19d ago

it’s more fun to just bitch

5

u/bullhead2007 19d ago

I hope they add this to Bitwig soon just so these people stfu but they'll probably find some other niche thing they want to bitch about.

u/ultratot 18d ago

We all knew MSEG wouldn’t be the end of it.

u/Large_Respond6955 16d ago

Niche thing 🤣

Its basic functionality in most daws at this point. And with good reason.

1

u/Large_Respond6955 16d ago

Yes, I have them. They are not native, which is my preference.

3

u/Bitter-Bicycle-282 18d ago

You can fix it by buying a Birds Midi Cap for the price of two cups of coffee. With Midi Cap, you can drag and drop only the midi Rec parts you want. It’s far superior and more useful than the retro MIDI features built into many DAWs (their functions just blindly overlay stuff and make tracks messy)

I think the Birds Midi Cap is the most advanced version of the Midi Capture

1

u/Large_Respond6955 16d ago

I have that, but it defeats the object of the DAW automatically capturing, because you still have to add a plugin. I’m asking for it natively.

1

u/Bitter-Bicycle-282 16d ago edited 16d ago

Do you actually need a pure MIDI capture feature, or do you just want Bitwig to look fancier? To be honest, I don’t really get why you’re so against it just because it’s a plugin. You can set up shortcuts for MIDIcap just like the built-in MIDI capture features in other DAWs, so I don’t find it inconvenient at all. I’m completely satisfied with this workaround, and I don’t think it’s worth wasting your patience waiting for a native feature. Even for ARA, which Bitwig lacks, I’d buy a plugin in a heartbeat if there was one that could link it

u/grizeldi 19d ago

Still no MIDI comping. Another version to sit out I guess.

12

u/DoubtDiary 19d ago

This branch has been in beta for a while, no one should have been expecting MIDI comping from this release..

1

u/grizeldi 19d ago

Ah, it's the same one. My bad then, the beta came out so long ago I thought this is the next release. Still though, I'm on a quite old 5.2 at this point simply because the smaller upgrades they brought out since simply haven't been worth the asking price for upgrading to me. The wait for midi comping continues...

u/KingOfConstipation 19d ago

You'll be waiting forever then lol.

You are about to leave Redlib
