Bitwig Studio v5.0.4 [WIN macOS LINUX]-FLARE screenshot
Team FLARE | 1 AUGUST 2023 | WIN: 288 MB | macOS: 380 MB | LINUX: 269 MB
RELEASE NUMBER: FLARE-1907/FLARE-1908/FLARE-1909

Bitwig Studio is the single solution for realizing any musical idea across every stage of production with Powerful Editing Tools, Expressive MIDI Support, Instruments & Effects.

Bitwig Studio 5 is OUT NOW and it introduces five new MSEGs
Developing this family of modulators and modules led to a major upgrade for our entire modulation system. In version 5, modulators can do more, like control track- and project-level parameters and expand into pop-out windows. We also created new ways to perform live with our software, and overhauled the browsers to make it easy to find what you need.

Browse Better
The browser improvements are more than just a fresh coat of paint. Now, search results for plug-ins, presets, and wavetables (etc. etc.) all live in one place. The updated browsers also provide better ways to find our devices, customizable shortcuts, and a more visual way to browse your content.

Modulation Heaven
The modulation system in Bitwig Studio allows you to use Macro controls, Note Expressions, LFOs, and Envelopes to modulate any device, VST plug-in, or hardware parameter. With 30+ modulators (and counting) the potential for creative expression is endless. Bitwig Studio enables microtuning along with a world of other ideas. Since the arrival of the Micro-pitch device, each update to Bitwig Studio has included more presets for it.

Hardware Integration
Hardware integration is a large part of what makes Bitwig Studio unique. MIDI handling, note timing, and latency compensation are aspects of this. Other prominent features include MIDI Clock Sync and Ableton LINK. But where Bitwig Studio really stands out is our collection of hardware integration devices.

Enter The Grid
The Grid is a sound designer's dream. It can be a synth, an audio effect, or most things you can imagine. It's a modular sound design environment, open for you to build your own creations from scratch.

Audio That Works For You
Audio clips are your musical blocks, and edits can be made within them. Split at onsets, repitch with curves, or scale and stretch in various ways. And when the tempo changes, your audio will match it, courtesy of time-stretching options from us and Zplane.

Notes That Do More
Our notes are dynamic, allowing micro-pitch, pressure, panning, and more for each individual note. So get true polyphony from Bitwig's instruments, or send these notes as MPE or CV signals. Or even add some musical logic with Operators, modulating when and how notes play.

Audio Comping, Anywhere
Comping is a clean workflow for recording and then combining the best parts of many takes. This works on any audio clip in Bitwig, so move freely between the Arranger and Launcher. Even drag in long audio to “fold” a new comp, exploring old tapes in a new way.

Instruments & Effects
With over 90 different instruments, audio and note FX, container devices, and signal routers you can translate any idea into music.

Sampler, Resampled
Meet Bitwig Studio's Sampler, featuring several playback modes, dynamic note-based modulations, and a powerful multisample editor.

My friend, I also hope that FLARE will hear our words and requests and act on them, this version has only one serious problem and that is the failure to load the images of the packages, I sent a message to FLARE and reported it, but I did not receive an answer I don't know why he doesn't do it

The reason the package images don't load is because we have blocked dash.bitwig.com inside the binary because it sends a lot of telemetry data to bitwig, but we allowed packs.bitwig.com to be able to download the packages. There is no fix unless you want bitwig to collect all your info.

There are other problems that can be ignored, such as Bitwig crashing when closing the project and reopening Bitwig, but the problem of not loading the package images is really annoying and cannot be ignored.

quote by Flare....but we allowed packs.bitwig.com to be able to download the packages. There is no fix unless you want bitwig to collect all your info.


Unfortunately, this statement isn't true since it doesn't download the packages. So, we must use the software without the packages except that it closes and crashes without a proper fix...

I have no problem downloading packages on WIndows 10. Lack of the images there doesn't bother me at all. I can look at the images at BItwig's site if I want

I had no time to test the stability of this version on the fresh projects. But some busy old ones get open and played just fine. Nothing crashes for me so far. Maybe I'm lucky. Or maybe you guys have issues with your OS/hardware/plugins

v5.0.4
Bitwig Audio Engine Crashing is the problem
Crash on Exit everytime
Crash on Startup but not every time
Audio Engine Slow to load on startup
Missed Checks and Calls..


v3.1.2 Working
v4.0.1 Working
All Releases after 4.0.1 Not Working/Proper


10 Gb of Samples and Presets is not needed to use Bitwig.

5.0.4 doesn't crash here so far. And 4.4 worked just fine for me. In fact, cooler of my processor was working way harder on 4.0.1 for the same tasks, And it oftentimes crashed when I tried to transfer stuff between two projects from different tabs. Now this problem is gone. Anyway, there's everything you need even in 4.0.1 to make great music. Spectral devices and MSEGs are cool or course, but that's the icing on the cake. And you can always wait for the winter sale to get the legit version for $300. They actually deserve it

Hello,
My comment was not for you and
Your Comment is IRRELEVANT to the Issue.

Bitwig having a Winter Sale has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with This Release on here. I do not need a Audio Software Salesman telling me what or who is "deserving" of my $$$$ and Maybe youu are confused about what website you're using, this is Audioz not Plugin Boutique.

Hello. You're welcome. I always try to help people in need
1. If you post a comment publicly, then it's for everybody (whether you like it or not). So don't exclude me :)
2. My comment is relevant to your issue because you couldn't figure out how to make anything above 4.0.1 work. That's two years of stuggling :) So your only way is to buy a license on sale.

People use 4.4 for a year now without any issues. So maybe reinstall your OS or try another one. And learn to breathe deeply if a harmless suggestion makes you so agitated. That helps not to be rude with people who have a polite conversation with you. You could just say "Thanks. I know about the winter sale. But not for me. How did you manage to make 4.4 and 5.0.4 work?".

Instead of explaining the issue and providing the details you just say "it doesn't work". When in fact it does. If I was Flare, I wouldn't even bother uploading future versions after reading all these comments

Cheers. And good luck with your music

A strange problem, all the modules have problems, the LFOs in Hz and sync mode calculate the time wrongly and are completely destroyed, mod one LFO to the rate of another LFO, the time is destroyed, I don't know if the problem is caused by the crack Is it the original version, I request FLARE to release version 5.0.7

Bitwig 5.0.9/10 has rectified a lot of timing issues and bugs

Another big problem, the filter device destroys the sound, this version is completely broken, FLARE should be responsible, why don't you release a healthy version?

I am having major problems with this version. Anyone else? When I reopen saved projects, some of the notes seem to be playing off key or out of pitch. Is this a timebomb of some sort or a bug?

Every previous Bitwig release by FLARE was working correctly. I too have a major problem with this one but it's too soon to say anything bad about him.

Hi Guys,

Been using this for 3 months fine then I had a crash and after that everytime I open Bitwig 5 it gets stuck on the send diagnostics email to support pop up and after few seconds it crash and close. So it's unusable.

The bitwig 4.4 still works fine for me.

Is there a way to manually clear this cache of the crashed session ? Is there any file I could delete to kind of reset the status ? I'm new to Bitwig just trying to jump out of Live.

Any info is appreciated.

Note: I don't use bitwig packs so I don't give a damm about images not loading on browser for me was very usable on linux and win10.

The issues with BwS v5.0.4 are bugs in the software itself and have been resolved by the developers. You can check the various release notes @ https://downloads.bitwig.com/5.0.11/Release-Notes-5.0.11.html

is it normal that there is a lot of "load icons" everywhere?

after having endless issues with audio engine crashing, i finally found the solution.
was using malwarebytes firewall control to block stuff, which does only block outgoing by default, after setting inbound and outbound as rule Bitwig is no longer crashing.
holy cow !
