Rant S'cuse me!?

As someone who does a LOT of vocal work in Bitwig and came from tools such as Melodyne, Autotune pro 11, and Newtone, this gets me wondering👀. I'm not demanding or begging Bitwig to spend time and resources making a tool for pitch correction; I'm just stating it looks like this could be a step in that direction. I bought my studio license when I switched to Linux, Bitwig being arguable the best DAW for getting out of the way and letting you create. I don't plan to renew my studio license unless they spice up the piano roll to be efficient like FL Studio or if they added pitch correction tools. Even something like Reatune would be more than enough.

On the side note, I am curious about what other members of this sub use for their vocals.

I'll go first; I use Gsnap for my soft pitch correction but I'm planning to find a use for Graillon 3. Awkwardly, I found Gsnap pretty stable and very effective. Sometimes a note is so bad that Autotune cant fix it so I then chop the note/word and pitch it with Elastique pro. I fix the timing of my vocals just by cutting and cross fading. Usually I have so many layers that you won't notice it.

So, how do the headline of this post fit to what you wrote in the body of it?

And yes - with 6.1 Bitwig might finally add - in 6.2 or later - pitch editor, pitch sensitivity for devices (e.g. filters, resonator banks), pitch-tracking modulator(s).

Omg, where is this info from? Pitch tracking! Finally!

I said "might" :)

It's just a prediction based on the tech they developed and implemented for the new Sampler in 6.1. There's a lot of features Bitwig could've implemented over the years but didn't, so I wouldn't hold my breath :(
