Thanks for the tip. I've been enjoying Bitwig since giving up on Logic. The ONLY complaint I have about Bitwig is that one can't change time signatures along the timeline. Being able to "resurrect" older 32-bit plug-ins without a third-party bridge is cool, too. Bitwig is so forward-thinking in its funtional and aesthetic design that it makes using Logic feel like driving an antique car, and the workflow (for me) is a lot more efficient. Bitwig is NOT a "pro" DAW (yet), but at least it's not bogged down in its own legacy, as other DAWs are.

 

BIG LOL :D What a huge fixlist. So the software they sold was at alpha stadium then and they fooled their customers all the time. Nice work Bitwig :D Maybe i will try it agian hmm lets say in 10 years or so when they finish it.

 

With this tempo of "progress", "2.0 modular version" will be released sometime in 2612, and then constantly fixed till 2890.
Bitwig 3.0 vs Ableton 960, Studio one 480, Reason 240, Fruity loops 390....

 

have u checked the "famous" An open plea to Steinberg https://www.steinberg.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=226&t=88895 topic, it's not Bitwig specifc

Live 9 Release Notes

Bugfixes:

• Recovering Live sets after a crash would not succeed under certain circumstances.
• Live could hang at launch while displaying the splash screen on Windows 10.
• Live would crash on OSX 10.11 when a user closed the second window while it was shown in fullscreen mode.
• Tracks created by dragging and dropping a Rack or Rack preset will now correctly be assigned with a new track color.
• Live might become unresponsive on OSX if no Max application could be found. Furthermore, Live would not find Max 7 on its own on Windows.
• Live could hang when loading sets referencing Max devices, if these were saved with Max 6.1.7 or earlier.
• Audio files would not retain the color saved in the respective .asd file when dropped into a track.
• Replaced one redundant color in the Live color sequence.
• Simpler would cause an unusual high memory usage if the user had set 'Complex' as the default mode for Warping.
• Live would crash when converting a sliced Simpler to a Drum Rack from within an Instrument Rack.
• Live would crash when cropping samples in Sampler.
• A crash could take place when playing back sliced samples in Simpler, if 'Snap' had previously been activated in Classic or One-Shot mode.
• A crash could occur when dragging the Start Marker to the very end of a file in Simpler and playing back a warped, looped sample with 'Snap' active.
• Live could crash when playing back warped samples in Simpler. The crash would occur when a new note began playing at the exact same time that another playing note was ending, if that also choked or retriggered the previous note.
• When slicing an audio Clip to a Sampler based slicing preset, all slices would be assigned to the same root note.
• Simpler's playhead could jump unexpectedly when starting the transport while playing back warped samples.
• Dragging a selection of an arrangement clip into Simpler now sets the start and end flags according to the selection.
• Snap is automatically disabled when slicing a Simpler to a Drum Rack. This ensures that the sound of playback does not change after slicing a Simpler to a Drum Rack.
• Changing Simpler's playback mode via the keyboard would not be undoable.
• When dragging the Simpler start flag towards the end of the sample, this would overlap with the End flag, which then could not be clicked nor dragged anymore. The same behavior occurred the other way around (the End flag might have covered the Start flag).
• The text in the Simpler 'Warp As' button would not be displayed properly when running Live in a language other than English.
• Fixes a crash which might happen in conjunction with Complex / Pro modes.
• Improved the CPU performance of Complex and Pro when playing back short loops. Note that while Clip loops are limited to at least 1/16 note in length, simpler loops can be as small as 50 samples.
• Reduced audible artifacts and improved timing for samples warped with Complex and Complex Pro.
• The OSR filter might produce unwanted artefacts when used with high frequency and resonance settings.
• The modulation destinations for the new legacy filters in Simpler and Operator are now hidden and updated correctly when upgrading a device.
• The spread pitch control is now disabled if Simpler is using Re-Pitch as warping mode.

v9.6 vs v1.3.8... bugs? Again?
