What's new in 5.2
When sound is involved, your ears know what is good. And your ears will love the new studio tools in Bitwig Studio 5.2, a professional compressor and three hardware-inspired EQs. Compressor+ brings a unique approach to dynamics, and Focus, Sculpt, and Tilt unite classic sounds with new levels of control. Workflow got enhanced too: more precise editing, dynamic beat detection that matches any audio to your project, and hardware acceleration for our graphic interface. Because the sooner you've got sound, the sooner you can trust your ears.

A Compressor That Thinks Differently
Compressor+ is an all-in-one compressor for any use case. Coupling familiar controls with unusual ones and a superior approach to analyzing audio make it ready for any task, from adding color and tone to mastering.

Focus, Sculpt, and Tilt Sound
A new trio of EQs inspired by classic hardware – Focus, Sculpt, and Tilt — bring a natural musicality to the task of shaping sound.

Sculpt inherited the controls and components of the renowned Pultec EQP-1, a vintage broadband hardware box known for its low-end sweetening. But the choice of saturation is left to you, from the matching Tube style, to Transistor for odd harmonics and mid-range punch, or even a clinically Clean model.

Focus took the same approach to recreating the choices and components of the mid-range-oriented MEQ-5. After tuning those sonic “power” regions, similar saturation choices are a click away.

Tilt's simple interface lets you rebalance any sound to be brighter or darker, with additional choices for the center Frequency and how steep the Slope is.

Be Precise
Mouseless navigation is a breeze in Bitwig Studio 5.2. With Bitwig’s default key commands, your arrow keys can now send you between relevant points of interest in clips or on the Arranger Timeline, or even between different tracks in your project. Cruise the Arranger Timeline via small increments like beat divisions, automation points, clip starts and ends and more. Jump from the beginning to the end of notes within their clips, or from transient to transient in audio clips. Make a selection — of notes, clips, events, etc. — across one or more tracks. All without leaving the keyboard.

For Changing Times
Speaking of quality-of-life improvements, 5.0's better onset detection bears fruit this update in ways that streamline working with different tempos. You can trust Bitwig Studio to accurately warp long audio files for you — even those with variable tempos will stay on track.

Best GUI Got Better
We also rewrote our graphics engine to be more responsive and efficient. Painting our interface on your computer's GPU gives us native hardware acceleration, and more CPU is now available for your audio. Also, knobs pop more and scopes have a fresh look.

Undo For Plug-ins Too
Undo is a modern marvel, helping you audition changes to your audio and patches with equal ease. Plug-ins are covered as well in Bitwig Studio 5.2. So no matter what you change, Bitwig can always bring you that critical one step back.

Get Your Learn On
While making all the compressions, a few new ideas appeared. Over is a boutique clipper that harnesses multiband, oversampling, and a slot for wet-only effects. So add a nice crispy crust to any sound, or just burn it down.
