Bitwig Studio 6 takes a big step up, improving and expanding on the core DAW functions that you use every day. This major update brings you fresh and faster ways to work that will feel familiar. You’ll notice the difference right away: Bitwig Studio’s looks have been improved, and the visual interface is now easier to adjust to your needs. There are also countless changes under the hood, large and small. It starts with an extensive upgrade to automation editing, which touches everything from smoother editing gestures to new behaviors such as spread and hold. You can also now work with automation in clips, opening up new possibilities that make intuitive sense. Clip aliases offer a new way to handle repetition and structure in your music, while project-wide key signature helps guide your work with notes. New and improved tools, such as the Spray Can and Audition tool, join enhanced expression editing – for the fine details – and layered editing, for big picture work. All of these changes add up to a big improvement in the way you use Bitwig Studio 6 for fundamental music-making tasks.
Ascent is a sophisticated dual-reverb plugin that combines two powerful algorithms into one fluid interface: a lush, expansive hall reverb and an innovative pitch-shifting particle reverb that creates evolving, granular shimmer effects. Layer spacious, long-decay reverbs with dynamic pitch-shifted textures to craft everything from subtle ambient spaces to dramatic, otherworldly atmospheres. With intuitive controls, and built-in dynamic ducking that keeps your mix clean, Ascent delivers the acoustic character and creative possibilities of premium hardware reverbs in a streamlined, CPU-efficient plugin that works seamlessly across all major formats and platforms.
Equal parts workhorse and abstract creative tool, Circa is a six track multi-layer looping environment that can do most of the things your popular floor pedal looper can while also paying homage to the serendipitous world of ambient looping. Each layer can sync to the host, a master loop, or free run, and can be triggered in sync, with an audio signal, or freely. Circa has seven stereo outputs (including a dedicated cue output for monitoring) and built-in reverb and delay. Add in a complete MIDI control system and Circa is a full looping workstation.
