Bitwig also make really obvious color-coding. The big difference in workflow here is that Bitwig Studio famously lets you see a clip view and a linear timeline view as split panes in the same window (what they call Launcher and Arranger).
Just as in Live 11, you can comp both recorded patterns/MIDI and audio. (I get the hold-out – the argument was, you could just add different takes by using different clips, though that didn’t allow you to blend those different takes back together again.) That’s quite nice, and something you might get in a dedicated sequencer – so it’s also great to see here just hanging out in a piano roll editor.Ĭomping is a feature that had been limited to more conventional DAWs, but this year we see it in both Ableton Live and Bitwig Studio. It’s definitely a different way of working, it’s geeky and specific, and very Bitwig-y.Įxpand / Expression Spread uses the per-note / audio expression automation and lets you make a randomized Spread range for each point. I haven’t seen anything particularly like this in a software piano roll, ever – it’s the sort of rule you’d expect in a tracker, maybe. Occurrence (a bit like Live’s Follow Actions, but for individual audio/note events)Īll of this is presented in a pop-up for each event in the timeline.Overview of what’s new (and if the pop tune soundtrack isn’t your speed, uh, hit mute? I really enjoyed it more when I hit 0.25x speed to get a screen shot…): I’ll say this – I think the M1 is great, and I see no particular reason to hold off for something more expensive.Īpart from that, Bitwig 4 has some compelling musical functionality, too. There’s a beta now, so M1 users – don’t listen to me, frankly, just go! And I’ll try to benchmark the two soon. And Bitwig also note that Intel and ARM VSTs can run side by side – thanks to their sandboxed plug-in architecture.

Apple’s iMac, Mac mini, and MacBook and MacBook Pro are already blazingly fast with the M1 – even if some of you are waiting for some expected “M2.” So this is huge.
#Bitwig studio m1 for mac#
That includes Linux (and I think this ARM VST support is relevant even there), it includes multitouch on PC, and for Mac fans, it now includes native Apple Silicon support. Okay, first – Bitwig continues to excel at supporting every platform. Instead, you get multiple refinements: Operators combine the best of hardware with the best of DAWs – and the new version runs natively on your new Mac. Bitwig Studio 4 doesn’t have a single banner feature like The Grid.
