Why you left Bitwig?

[vurt]

Being able to customise the DAW is important for a multitude of reasons. Bitwig Studio from the very first version that came out felt very restrictive and still does today.

There is not one reason it is important to me to customize a DAW. Bitwig works fine for me. Doesn't feel restrictive at all. I feel the same about Logic and Live when I use(d) them.

I would rather the Bitwig devs not waste one minute of time on something so meaningless.

what about a little dancing fairy, she pirouettes in time to your music?

It's restrictive for the reasons I gave in my previous post, which was what I meant. You need to pay for bugs to be fixed that they carry over to new versions, so I can understand why you wouldn't want them to spend time on GUI customisation, but whether you like it or not, how the GUI looks affects your mood and music and that of your environment in which you use it in. Ofcourse you can always use a third party utility to change how the colours on screen look, at least on Windows.

have you ever thought maybe at the moment, music isnt for you, and your time might be better spent in photoshop or a video program? you seem to be in a more visual arts mood lately

Crows are special in their own way. Some years back I stepped out of my house with my car parked on the street. 3 crows were sitting on the car and started cawing at me. They hadn't done that before so I asked them out loud what they were doing. They just hopped away.

I got in the car, turned the key and nothing happened. Then I realized I had left the lights on and drained the battery. I looked up and the crows were now sitting near my front door and laughing at me.

If I may ask, what was the bug?

When a plugin window is open (and focussed) the mouse pointer icon changes to the ones that would be shown if the plugin wasn't there.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/whi8nnx3nav00 ... 1.mov?dl=0

Happens with all plugins. I thought that the update with M1 support could maybe fix it, but it didn't...
I know it's kinda minor, but it bugs me.

This bug (and reading that they have no plans to fix it) has actually put a stop to my buying Bitwig on the current crossgrade sale. I've really enjoyed using the demo, but this is the kind of thing that's going to keep me on Ableton until Bitwig devotes a few more resources to cross-platform spit and polish.

Your loss. I think it’s one of the best DAWs out and certainly on Linux which is where I’m heading to full time shortly.

It works wonderful in Linux I encourage you to do it. Personally, I have 3 platforms and installed Bitwig on all three (M1 native, Ubuntu Studio and Windows 10).
It works wonderfully on Linux If you need additional synths, there are free great ones like Surge, Vital and Odin2. Of course u-he and TAL synths run like a butter as well, but honestly, Bitwig alone on Linux is more than enough

I like birds in general and in return they shit on my car everyday

You probably already heard this story about crows, but if not..

Here at the University of Washington they did most of the studies on crows that have people posting the videos of them solving complex problems you see on youtube etc. The main scientist who studied them as a student graduated and came back to the department to give lectures five plus years later. The crows were all captured from around the area and eventually released. They remembered him, and when he would get out of his car to go to the hall a massive murder of crows would start yelling and stalking him. They seem to have taught other crows about this jerk who made them do tricks for seeds, because his harassment went on every time, and was oddly specific to him!

No, I hadn't heard that one! Great story! Crows are so smart... Thanks!

^^^ they were probably complaining about the lack of sleep due to those lights!

yeah they are!
You’re probably right, they knew something was wrong and were goofing l on you! little hooligans!

It's not a compelling argument at all to insinuate your thing onto everybody. It is about how conducive is the vibe or whatever, sure, but all of this regarding things all being so wrong needing your correction or major tampering with tells us of your personality, not our needs; and taken as a whole, day after day, smacks of a malcontent. When <everything is a minefield>, the common denominator in talking of 'everything' is the person talking.

Although I think they feel good when they shit on such unknown monster and there is no response!

Anyway, back to Bitwig! The thing that I see very underrated are the synths! I know the Grid got all the attention (deservingly) but the other smaller synths are really excellent! The problem there is no enough good presets for them, but when I begin to make my own, they are really very good synths!

Your car might be one of the sports in the bird Olympics

I find them so... even the humble Polysynth has grown on me. I kinda dismissed it at first.
