Thanks, will keep it in mind.

it can be (or I can

) reproduced if u delete every *bitwig* entry from your user folder (c:\Users\USERNAME\) then try to start the beta

ofc I've tried it with admin rights too, if the /Users/... entries have been created it can be started

Well, that is messing with the installation and of course can create problems.
And I guess the Beta assumes that a previous installation exists... Hm.

dunno, but the beta definitely can't create this folder
c:\Users\xbitz\AppData\Local\Bitwig Studio
on my machine, 1.0.15 (or the beta with the older java) can, so it was the issue, at least it has been found, now back to the music

Loving the new features. Also I read over the changes to the API and that's going to be really powerful!

Something that made me really happy that wasn't mentioned - Saved VST bigwig presets now automatically open the GUI when loaded. This is great. I save all my VSTs as Bigwig presets for custom organization and now I don't have to click the little GUI button every time I load one. Sweet!

Does anyone know how to rename the chains of a multi-out device? When the name is longer than the space given for the chain names, many times they can't be differentiated until you hover over them.

ThomasHelzle wrote:First: you are welcome to discuss the Beta here.
It's only "closed" in the sense that it's limited to current license holders.

Same "rules" as always: Discuss here on KVR if you are unsure if you are doing things properly or how others perceive the changes or to verify weirdness, but bug and crash reports should go to tech-support for solving: http://www.bitwig.com/en/support/tech-support.html

Try to focus on the new features/problems in 1.1 for now and getting them rock solid instead of starting the next round of FRs already.

Each version has it's own preferences since 1.0.14 IIRC. So you shouldn't get interference from running both release and beta side by side, but since the caches are different, VSTs and files may be rescanned each time you switch between beta and release version, so don't be surprised if it takes longer in that case to scan/index! This is to make sure you don't get funky results by inconsistent caches.

1.1 files ARE NOT BACKWARDS COMPATIBLE. So make sure you save to a separate 1.1 copy if you want to be able to go back to the release version!

Give 1.1 a good workout and report as clearly as possible if you find weirdness.
Provide as much info to support as possible to make reproducing possible.

Thank you very much for your patience and I hope you enjoy 1.1!

Cheers,

Tom

Thank you for making all that clear

Yeah! not seen it in the release notes, there are so many changes though, I may have missed it.

When you close Bitwig, the 'Do you want to save?' dialog box doesn't get hidden behind VST windows any more. How cool is that.

Cool. That makes me think that perhaps the preset save dialog box may also not get hidden behind the VST window? That annoys me even more as I always have the VST window open when saving a VST bitwig preset. I'm at work so can't check but hopefully all windows pop up in front of it?

Good Job BitWig team.

I am using 1.1 beta 5.......On my system it's running pretty good. I just finished mixing a project which I had started on 1.15 and opened it up today on 1.1. There were about 55 tracks with heavy plugins including UA plugs. There is no more delay when browsing my sample library which is wicked

. It is running a little bit more sluggish but that is expected with the new update. I'm sure that will get sorted out in time.

Keep Up the Good Work Guys

Just checked the save preset dialog and unfortunately the window does not pop up in front of the VST

The VST window goes pooof! and vanishes with anything else that is there and the save preset dialog is magically there, similar to the way the close dialog works.

I am currently messing with the 1.1 beta and I am in tears of how awesome this is. I am enjoying it so much that I dont even have time to comment on my loves for it.

Peace and let the bitwig addiction begin!

Is it true for when you drag the device into the browser to save a preset? Or only when you hit the save preset in the device? I usually drag mine over to custom locations. That's when it would always pop up behind the damn VST window.

Just tested that scenario and its not a problem, the VST windows disappear just like the other cases.
