Wishlist for small things or are these already possible?

whats good, so i have been intensively doing more work with Bitwig this weekend and also checked your points from before, this will be my last topic for some days i guess cause i needa focus on trying to do some first beats and see how all the help from you helps me out, i got some points i might been missing out or just are not there or sadly not as well as in fl studio and i dont care about this daw, that daw is better, i care about my workflow and if something is somewhere else better then i point that out and hopefully it gets worked on, nothing more nothing less.

  1. clicking a sample in the browser has a small timeframe of delay, it doesnt play instantly, small detail but i wonder why is that? in FL Studio clicking a sample BOOM without delay played

  2. this is a thing getting used to maybe but would be cool to be able to switch sides of browser <---> Events etc. so all things from right to left side

  3. ahhh this drives me nuts, is this an APPLE thing? why cant i use the mousewheel on SO MANY things? e.g. BPM change etc. why?

  1. would be cool to double click an instruments’ name or field to also have it popped out, then you dont need to always click the open icon down below, this is really cumbersome if you wanna open the VST right away, double click while listening to your beat, BOOM

  1. isnt it possible to having the midi notes snapped to a selected scale? i think in Ableton it is possible? so if you got notes in C Major and change to whatever E Minor that all notes get transposed which are not in scale, of course you needa adjust but would be a time saver...

  1. also i saw in Ableton you can ONLY display notes from a scale, not possible in Bitwig, would be cool! call me noob, i dont care, just small cool feature.

  2. Resizing Notes with Brush/Spray Can, this f*cks me really up, cannot believe what i read, that Bitwig had no spray can before.... i mean come on... and now it gets a spray can and why leave out a feature like resizing notes? no logic not to give me the option, check what FL Studio does with the brush, like the Spray Can but you can resize, result, not having to switch a tool. so i see only improvment in this

i wanna use Bitwig for less clicking and not more.

in Bitwig, wow so ugly

  1. Midi Note Panning is really cumbersome? You have to be so specific with the mouse pointer and cannot just click in the field, check this is FL Studio, you dont have to pinpoint so specifically and can also click in the free field and the panning will be put

check FL Studio

in Bitwig it is so fiddly, you cannot change the panning when you got the pencil tool or brush tool selected. Why…

CONCLUSION

just to be clear, this is no "Bitwig is so bad, FL is better", no just asking and checking if im missing something and showing what might be better in FL Studio, it would be awesome to have better workflow in these regards, Bitwig already has for me so many better workflow points i will switch and there are A LOT of other FL Studio users not happy with Image Line and Bitwig would suck them over easily if they would improve some more points. that would be a win win for Bitwig as well. Truth be told, FL Studio isnt cheap anymore, you buy it have lifetime upgrades but in the end you have to buy lots of additional plugins if you want more cool stuff which Bitwig seems to offer out of the box....

Bitwig noob from FL Studio - have to ask some points

hey ya!

still love my FL Studio but things get worse and i am testing Bitwig 6 now, I dont like Ableton's graphics, just doesnt catch me at all, Cubase is strangely feeling, dunno, hard to describe, and Studio One was also not mine, so i am considering Bitwig heavily after seeting some promo for v6.

i just started to learn it and watched some tutorials, i try to re-create my fl studio behaviours and of course i dont get it 1:1 but some points i dunno if im missin out something? just dunno why it doesnt work yet?

  1. i love to split some notes for drill beats, you know i can chop marked midi notes to get fast playing hihats, in FL Studio i hit ALT+U and can adjust how my midi note is split, nice, in Bitwig i thought this is maybe cumbersome but it seems the operator might be even faster, but man, i cannot use this with mousewheel? dragging is ok but just 1-3 mousewheel moves would be faster....

https://preview.redd.it/hi1b6fmbivah1.jpg?width=207&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6cbab13c667dc515602bfd83985752a26a927ecc

  1. i dunno the differences between the operators note split vs note length option? but when you click the arrow there then this menu pops up, nice, but come on why dont i hear a preview how my sound/midi note gets changed by my selection? i always have to hit APPLY first, so annoying, if you wanna play around you have to repeat this process on and on...

https://preview.redd.it/qzjmlzsoivah1.jpg?width=935&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c2f43344df89350df863f8da1fe1fb1e84b38425

  1. so this one i dont get at all, also love to mark some notes in FL Studio and you can drag and drop on the end of one note and all notes you can adjust in lenght, with hold ALT button you can fine tune, look here, i split this note into 4 notes but i cannot adjust em, i manually painted how i wanna have it to showcase

https://preview.redd.it/cyupqmo0jvah1.jpg?width=754&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=959289b5649a717eb6f3191e180ae583350aef18

  1. also same topic, why cant i shorten my notes with the spray can at the end of the note? this is a missed function...

https://preview.redd.it/qre68irbjvah1.jpg?width=342&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b0876f5a97b70fcb5abe39c33a99c4226b249313

in FL Studio, easy

hope i just dunno how to do, otherwise hope Bitwig will add these, appreciate

Question about Exclusive vs Non-Exclusive Soundtrack/Music licensing

Hello Everyone,

wanted to check something for my new contract template, I know that exclusive licenses cost normally thousands of dollars but I sadly I dont know any customers paying this amount lol

I wanna offer custom made music for each project, so i think this i need to phrase like this?

Found this in another contract to download

"Notwithstanding the foregoing, Contractor hereby grants Company a non-exclusive,

irrevocable, royalty-free, worldwide license to use, develop, alter, reproduce, manufacture,

distribute, sublicense, vend and otherwise use the Work, but solely as required to do everything

necessary to develop, manufacture, distribute, sell, publish, display, promote, advertise use or

otherwise commercially exploit (or sublicense any of the foregoing) the Project, as well as any

updates and/or ports of such Project for other platforms that Company may choose to create (the

“License”)"

So I would change the non-exclusive to exclusive which I mean this music/tracks are custom made and only for the specific project. but I still wanna keep ALL the music rights/ownership, can i phrase it like above?

Also what I dont understand is the word SUBLICENSE, this should be removed shouldnt it? the customer MAY use the tracks in their project, trailer, promotion etc. but they may not relicense, resell, use for other projects.

does anyone know? I know this is no law community :) thanks

Game Soundtrack Contract template?

whats good everyone,

hope you can help me out, someone wanted that I send him a contract for the 5 songs I seem to finished for him so he needs that for his company.

I dont have any contract yet made, is there maybe templates I can check out and adjust accordingly?

I know this topic is made with a lawyer etc. but maybe there are starting points and templates I can check and might be sufficient as there is not much from my side, just that I keep the rights, can sell the music etc. but he may of course use the music in game, for gameplayvideos etc.

would be awesome if anyone has something to share legally!

much much appreciated
