Bitwig Studio - Frustrated by (lack of) Inter-App Routing

I'm impressed with Bitwig Studio in general, but frustrated with the seeming difficulty or impossibility of routing audio and MIDI between (to or from) Bitwig and other apps. When Bitwig is configured to use JACK as its audio engine, it exports no audio or MIDI inputs to JACK and QjackCtl's Connecti...

Just curious--which features would cause you to consider a switch to an RME Babyface FS an upgrade?

Re: Latin Percussion track for instrumental cue

Ok. Could you perhaps give some reference for the direction your thinking about? Many styles off latin. Well, I'm guessing that any percussionist would have his own ideas, technique and preferred or personal style, similar to keyboard players such as myself. So I think I'm more interested in what a...
