nice one sterni 👌
I love the new compressor+ and Over clipper.. and all the new graphics enhancements really make a difference. Thanks for the vid!!
Ngl the over device is pretty great. 5.2 overall is really nice.
I am so glad you called this out: they desperately need to fix the dynamic cursor. When I choose a cursor I don't want it changing what it does based on where I am vertically on a track
It will be such a relief when they give us the option to turn these annoyances off/on on demand 😊
For me it is not a problem. But that maybe is because before I used Reaper before where this is also a thing and I was already used to it.
@@mudi2000a Yea that might be it: Being used to Cubase and Ableton since 15+ years (Both DAWs where you can trust the Pointer Tool to stay the Pointer Tool!) has an impact :D
haha i love the funny Video at 4.12 😂and i really love the effort and work you put into every video!! Btw the background music is AMAZING! Every music-video you make is a masterpiece-so anyone had to check out your music-videos as well! thx for your great work! 😀
+1 for the customisation of the Playback Bar ! ❤
I absolutely agree with everything that was said in the video!
PS: TY for the "Play from time selection"! I’m even doesn’t know about it
I'm so new to Bitwig that I was oblivious to the new white playback line -- thanks for helping me count my blessings!
The double hat gag made me chuckle.
Bitwig seems to have both highs and lows in CPU efficiency. Being more of a synth nerd myself, I find it easy to bring my humble i5 processor to its knees in the Poly Grid. For instance, sometimes I find 3rd party plug-ins such as Surge XT to be more forgiving when I crank the unison -- although I am finding cases where PolySynth seems more optimized (makes sense, so the sound design needs to be strategic). However, I'm happy to be aboard, and Bitwig has so much to offer the musician who also enjoys sound design.
This was a super well made video, hats off to you! 💯❤️ (still plenty left on head here too)
The double hat at the end caught me off guard. Chapeau²!
Regarding the performance: In larger projects, I can now use half the buffer size compared to version 5.1. GPU acceleration performance is very noticeable, and everything feels so smooth on my machine.
I'm a huge fan of the new Compressor+. It's not so heavy without coloring, in my opinion. The sidechain is much more practical, and it's easier to find the sweet spot to avoid clicks. They didn't reinvent the wheel, but I'm glad to have a complete toolset without needing external plugins. Maybe it's just a suggestion, but it feels a lot lighter in the stable version. Maybe the logging in the beta version was really verbose.
I'm glad you solved some of the glitchy bugs. Even if Direct3D is the recommended setting, Vulkan performance is equivalent and sometimes even better. If it works, don't be stressed out about the "Recommended" label.
I will follow the new season of your impossible bugs in the next beta anyway :D
Haha, glad the double hat was entertaining 😅
Half the buffer size is actually pretty insane, that sounds great.
I m really happy Vulkan exists, yea, i can't see any disadvantages with it - runs pretty well here :)
I highly agree on the modiefier keys
As someone who just started with Btiwig I think it's a big win to have good backed in plugins. I want to focus on learning how compression works and not focus on searching plugins to use, that comes later when knowing the basics.
I tend to agree, though I regularly get frustrated at the absence of other certain quality of life features (many of which were addressed in this version!! Yippee).
the only one thing in Bitwig I need is different themes, that's all.
You mean themes which go beyond the currently possible themes? People are theming Bitwig in a pretty deep way right now. github.com/Berikai/bitwig-theme-editor But maybe you mean 'officially supported themes' - i would agree, those would be the best.
@@sternenherz Yup U know these, but I mean official supported themes from Bitwig, that would be so nice.
@@LabofmusicRecords yea 100%. Especially if they go more in depth, like letting us determine clip transparency etc. :)
@@sternenherz ha ha, that would be nice :)
Excellent review, thnx!
he speaks the truth. bitwig listen to this man!
Hilariously I called out the BPM problem around 2016 or 2017 and was told I was crazy and stupid
Ngl the over device is pretty great. 5.2 overall is really nice.
There is a bug in the stable version though, when using rolling sampler on the master, it ignores any soloing happening and still records everything. Didn’t work like that before
my favorite 5.2 feature is actually the graphics engine. bitwig still deals somewhat poorly with waveform drawing under stress like this, but most of my project files are over 200 tracks- in which case new graphics engine is like getting a free CPU upgrade. it's insane.
Also in huge grid patches the performance of the interface is much snappier.
20:06 "...Bitwig has shown that they really care about basic DAW functionality." I'll fully agree with this statement once they fix the MIDI export so that it includes piano pedal information. I regard the current behaviour as a bug, and it's incredible that they are simply ignoring my requests for it to be fixed - I can only assume that nobody at Bitwig is a pianist so they simply don't understand the issue or something :( Other than that, they're doing well, yes! I love the new playback pointer line - I have eyesight issues, so that's going to make a lot of difference to me.
@@InsidesAndOutsides I fully agree, not being able to export automation is insane!!! 😅
There is an option to make the grid lines visible through the regions.
"Gridlines visible through regions", what do you mean by that and where is that option located within the Settings? The only gridline related option i know of is the gridline strength slider in the user interface settings.
Seeing Gridlines through Clips in the Arranger is impossible, there definitely is no option for that - but maybe with a future update, i hope :)
Is it not in the snap settings menu in the bottom right corner?
Lmao at that AI song
Out of curiosity, what is your EQ and compressor of choice?
@@FiYaDivine i like the FabFilter pro-q 3 (Eq) and C2 (comp), i also like u-he Presswerk (comp), and Ozone 11 advanced (comp and eq), and the Kirchhoff EQ. [Fabfilter stuff would already be enough:)] For LiveSetup Templates i simply use Bitwigs EQ2 and EQ5, to save every inch of CPU resources.
@@sternenherzthanks for sharing!
👍👍👍
I completely agree, a DAW should focus more on DAW things rather than plugins and instruments. Today, Bitwig has the least impressive Piano roll.
Totally agree that 5.2 doesn't perform better with the GPU usage. it seems that the GPU doesn't kick on unless you're using something like the Grid or a fancy looking VST. 🤷♂️
Precise editing is a very good option, but I agree, this mess with moving objects in different places is a bit confusing. I prefer to have opportunity to make my own shortcuts to all actions, hope they'll implement it once. BTW there is no graphic problems with waveforms on Mac M1. Nice video and music, as usual, thank you.
@@alexdiakov_ambient Thank you, too :) interesting to know that MAC appears to have no waveform problems! Sometimes windows is more buggy, i think
8:17 Yep. This. Stupid White Lines need to get the Hell out of my way!!!
I've NEVER used them, and I'm still not even sure what they're for, but boy, do I accidentally grab them a lot. :\
MIDI Comping would be sth
I am stubbornly refusing to updgrade until they give us midi comping. I play in a lot of things live, and it's criminal they implemented such a fantastic comping for audio, and then gave the middle finger to midi, because... reasons? Both midi and audio-comping should have been in the same update.
Which Quality of Life updates do you guys want? I'm curious because I feel like that QoL as it stands it better than most DAWs on the market...
There are a bunch of them mentioned in the video, key words are "you can't...". A good example seems to be that when dragging to select automation events it doesn't scroll the view when you get near the edge of the screen to bring more events into view, which is pretty basic UI behaviour you'd expect.
Strange, I don't have an "Advanced" tab under settings, so I can't change my Graphics System.
Have you tried using CTRL+Enter, then type in advanced, then click on the result?
@@sternenherz Thanks, yes that makes it show up. At least until I close Bitwig. I wonder why it's not available all the time?
I'm not impressed at all with 5.2, GPU engine sure but they need to spend a lot of time to address what its got. A color scheme editor for the UI would be good. Delete that white selection range thing and work out how to do all of that functionality from normal range selections. Etc etc etc
It's a DAW that doesn't allow you to bounce mono tracks, It's very frustrating to me that they added plugins and didn't fix their lack of professional features or their midi implementation which needs a lot of work to be on par with other DAW's, I have no idea what their dev team is thinking but they're clearly delusional.
lmaooo the ai song
i think this is a kinda bs update. the compressors sure sounds nice, but that implementation of navigating and using the keyboard is still ridiculous and still have to use a mouse or touchpad that would be good to avoid
All my old Mac previous versions are there
That’s nice to hear! I guess it's just a windows phenomenon then.
@@sternenherz ive been a computer tech and builder for 40 years so i know all sorts of systems running various Operating system Macs advantage comes alot from the very small list of hardware thats got to be compatible. PCs have 10s of thousands of combos of parts. Things like video card can say they are the same as based round the same chipset but the drivers and other parts on the same card can vary drastically thats just 1 example of the difference that makes the software easier build on Mac.
This DAW is good but you have to make different skin, i dont like the bitwig skin everything orange and dark
Just download a skin then
Never had any graphics issues. AMD laptop user.
