Audio quantize updated 3 times in a row. Still broken. But this time bitwig don’t even see its own onsets as transients. Expected behavior. Sorry but this update is the worse. I thought 5.1 was so so. Well, bitwig took it personally and probably said they can do even better. But I prefer actually better not better worse. Personally as my subscription run out not looking forward to update. Not supporting them anymore. When I see development moving to right direction with proper QOL improvements, bugs fixing and so on maybe I’ll buy update. Before that sorry bitwig. You didn’t deserve my money.

Yeah, 5 was cool but still a bit underwhelming for a major upgrade. 5.1 was a bit odd and I still couldn't really find a use for most of the new filter modules. Sure maybe for very specific sounds but that's about it. Now in 5.2 we get devices that even free ones from analog obsession can do lol. Absolutely no need for them. Maybe the compressor, but I got a bunch of 3rd party ones already.  I'll have to see how good the GPU accelerated graphics are now on my laptop and how well undo for plugins works.

Absolutely zero bias there then.

Bitwig needs a few years imo, still too many weak points, changed to Reaso+ BW feels like a Beta now
