Bitwig Studio 1.2 BETA 4

[ThomasHelzle]

I don't know enough about the graphics framework Bitwig is based on to know what's the most feasible - I would be fine with any approach. Let's see what Beta 5 brings.

Has any of you encountered the bug where recorded CC 2 and channel aftertouch automation aren't sent to VSTs while they work fine while playing them live? It seems a bit random and I haven't nailed it down completely to a clear cause. So far it seems that it works sometimes directly after opening a project but then suddenly stops. Kept me scratching my head for hours yesterday...

Cheers,

Tom

If you can put effects tracks in groups, can you put an fx track within a drum rack?

Little annoyance:
Pressing B opens the browser, and search takes focus immediately, so pressing B again enters a search query instead of closing the browser again. I sometimes open and close the browser quickly to look at a certain folder I got stuff in as reference.

haven't made it through the thread but my workaround for this was to make "toggle browser" or whatever opt-b and delete the default b shortcut if that helps

Dom already replied that alt+b will close the browser again. So the direct to search makes sense actually.
Still a little annoyed that the focus bug is still there from 1.0.
Focus bug being:
Open a third party plugin, tweak it, close it and you have to click on BWS to regain focus.
I'm a shortcut-guy

Also my Apogee MiC doesn't work on Beta 4 anymore
Bitwig picks it up, but no signal comes through whatsoever, no matter what I try.

On another note, I run Os X El Capitan. Bitwig only opens once per session. But I think it's an Os X bug, not BWS.
I have to run Bitwig from the command line if I want to open it again.
Jack doesn't work on El Capitan either. I'm running developer beta 6 of Os X 10.11. And Soundflower is also gone.
BWS Engine crashes are minimal, but seem to happen when I try to switch projects.
I also have one preset not reloading when I reopen a project, but luckily I have save the actual preset from the times I was using FL Studio.
I have sent the reports, just want to know if anyone else have similar issues?

Ok I have done a little more diving into El Capitan.
Apple added what is called "System Integrity Protection" to the new OS,
what this entails is that certain 3rd party apps don't have the same privileges they used to.
This is how you can disable it, if you are not the paranoid type:

My Soundflower is back and my Jack works again.

Still have to load BWS via the command line though

Just a quick question...why would you run a beta OS to do musicproduction ?

I have one machine only. And I'm a developer by trade.
Music is my hobby, but as Bitwig is in beta and 10.11 is just around the corner, it might be useful for Bitwig Studio team (tell me if I'm wrong BWS team).

But I'm technically inclined, so some problems I can solve and continue anyways. I have already made two great tracks in BWS beta already. The beta is quite stable, except for a small niggle here and there.

Couple questions...how do you sign up to become a beta tester? And does the beta install separately from the release version instead of overwriting it?

The un-official answer is: you don't.
if you are worthy and lucky maybe you can get an invite to join the cave...

And does the beta install separately from the release version instead of overwriting it?

It installs separately.... nobody wants borked stuff on top of the stable one, right?
