Bitwig to demonstrate Bigwig Studio 1.2 at NAMM

Bitwig has announced Bitwig Studio 1.2, which they'll be showing at NAMM.

The update will include the following Changes:

• Group Tracks: In the next update a user can improve the navigation of numerous tracks in every view of a project while consolidating the signal flow of multiple sources through a single Group Track. The feature introduces a new style of editing in the Arrange View called "Meta Clips." Meta Clips are designed to allow easy editing of clips from multiple tracks in group track timelines. Group Tracks also expand upon Bitwig Studio's Multi-out VST functionality, providing a convenient way to setup tracks for multi-timbral VST instruments, and useful functions to organize and consolidate an entire mix.
• Audition Browser: To accelerate the browsing workflow, all devices in Bitwig Studio 1.2 feature an Audition icon. By clicking Audition, a user's entire catalog of sound becomes available. Browse, audition, swap and insert anything from presets and samples to full clips of sounds during playback. The Audition Browser can be hidden from view to save precious screen real estate. Bitwig Studio's advanced browsing eliminates the boundaries between devices to offer a meta view of all available sounds in one category.
• Factory Content Update: There are three new demo songs, over 500 fully-functional presets, and optimization of every preset in the Bitwig Library with the help of 3rd parties like Detunized, Mode Audio, Sample Magic, and Overclock Inc.
• Support for High-DPI and Retina Displays: Bitwig Studio 1.2 is optimized for Macbook Retina and Windows High-DPI displays for a graphical user interface that is sharper than ever before.

Bitwig Studio 1.2 is a free update for all Bitwig Studio license holders. Bitwig Studio 1.2 Beta will be available in February to select license holders.
