Visible Gridlines Behind Clips

I moved to Bitwig from Ableton Live and not having this as a feature hurt me much more than I expected.

So simple and so needed

I’m also from Ableton and not missing those vertical lines in the clips. Those lines you are talking about are in the second windows at the sample or midi detail.

At the arranger view i’m happy with the not transparent clips.

I personally more prefere to add trasnparent alfa channel to all the tracks at the arranger to be more focused over whole row if lot of tracks is existing. It is very easy to be lost which track is which during eyes left right movement.

Peace!

Came here to say exactly this. I won’t switch until this is implemented.

hope you tell that ā€œi won’t switch to Bitwig because of thisā€ to Bitwigs support, too :smiley: because i’m sure the more they hear this, the more certain it is, that the feature will actually come in the future! :slight_smile:

YES this is needed big time.

YES! This is the last thing preventing me from buying bitwig. Im still on ableton and mac, and I’ve seen many videos about bitwig and super interested since Im changing to linux in the near future, but I cant imagine editing whole songs without gridlines, it must an absolute agony. If you are like me, and spend a lot of time matching vocal doubles etc to the lead, or some other instruments to the grid, its going to be such a pain in bitwig, it kind of makes this go from fantastic to mediocre software tbh. Maybe you all record perfect musicians only. Im 100% in the team bitwig, if updated soon!

@pensseli I want this feature too, but it’s not that you can’t do anything without it. If you need to match tracks and clips, you always have the numerical positions in the inspector (left column) and zoom in to see the audio waves in detail and move the clips accordingly.

Have you tried Bitwig’s demo version yet?

there is layered editing option, so you can edit multiple audio tracks side-by-side in editing view, which is much more detailed.
for instrument tracks yo get them all in one piano roll, color coded

Oh cool, I haven’t seen this anywhere or anyone else mention this? Maybe I’ll try the demo and see how it feels. If there is a way to edit and match audio easily to both grid, and to other audio, it might be a win for me.
