Allow viewing of audio tracks in the note editor

Allow viewing of audio tracks in the note editor.

Viewing multiple midi tracks together and edit them together to match easily is a very nice feature. But why not let use view audio clips in the foreground as well? Lots of people work with audio tracks for beats; lining notes up to a shuffled breakbeat .wav is difficult enough as it is. If we could simply view the wave file as the background to the midi clip editor, it would be easy to line up notes with transients. Lets do this.

What problem(s) would this feature resolve?

Makes editing much easier.

How does this feature fit in Bitwig as a product?

Easily.

Is there already an alternative way to achieve this on Bitwig?

No.

Could it be implemented using Bitwig components or APIs, without Bitwig team’s support?

No.

Could it be provided by a VST or something else reasonably integrated with Bitwig?

No.

Are there other products that offer this feature?

Not that I know of, but thats why we use Bitwig, isn’t it?

Do you mean in the background?

This is supported already. Start editing midi clip and select track with audio clip (this dropdown adjacent to Layered Editing Mode where “none” is displayed)
