Changes in Bitwig Studio 6.0, Beta 6 [released 07 November 2025]

[Axir]

Hi there,

I ve just installed the Beta 6 of Bitwig 6 to try it out and I have many issues on the workflow in the arrangement view. Bur the one is kicking me out every time it s for each automation point I create in a track, always create a point with the Hold Option, so I have each time to push that left button to draw a normal automation lane. isn t the an option to deselect or disable the Hold automation point by default? I can t find any place to do this. And I can t read anyone saying the same thing.

Many thanks in advance

I'm using BW5 mostly but just popped back to Logic for some simple piano & vocal AUDIO recording

was pretty stoked to see Logic added a built in 'isotope' AI style MASTERING plug-in
would be nice to see something like that in BW6; is there?

beta 6 (or, to be precise, Java VM of beta 6) on my machine keeps crashing after showing the splash screen for a few seconds, same as beta 5 and beta 4.

since sending crash logs to beta@bitwig.com appears to be useless, just complaining.

Seems to have been in Beta for a long time, I was hoping it would be finalised before the Black Friday discount to renew my sub but it looks like it's a fair way off.

Not an AI one, but you can put a chain together from the built in tools fairly easily.

I have a 'quick master' preset which is a container with a compressor, EQ, some mild saturation, and a limiter or something like that. I use it sometimes if sharing a project. (but normally use a different chain in a container with 3rd party FX)

I don't find Ozone to be particularly great tbh, maybe helpful to get some overall picture and reference to go against. I can't imagine the logic one is much better, and I think it maybe doesn't even give you its EQ curves like Ozone does to allow you to tweak it.

[PDPete]

Yes this "mastering" Logic plugin does give you its EQ curves to allow you to tweak it.
… I am not thrilled with Ozone either I never updated it — but this kind of gentle "AI" as reference is one of the few uses of so-called "artificial intelligence" that doesn't send me into a rage

Exactly... nonetheless deliver those wannabe AI´s in terms of mixing and mastering at best mediocre results and if you have to tweak them from this starting point you could have done the rest easily yourself too.
I do not see any sense in those plugins... they are just misleading for the clueless (assuming this would be a wished result) and completely useless for the people having more knowledge...
At the very end it´s just a marketing gag and I wished Bitwig stays away from them (what they luckily up to date have done).

If I choose the "Gift" option when buying the 12 month sub can I then apply to my account (the same account that purchased it) when I choose?

Yes, if you choose "gift" you'll get a code that you can apply to your account whenever you want to. That's what I do.

Thanks lokio!
