BR-80 Notes

Two BR80s

Two BR80s, cant use alsa, but jack(plus alsa in) you can Chatgpt it, or Pipewire even better (lower latency and easier.

Bitwig Notes

When you install Bitwig, check your previous version/files, because if you made your projects on Bitwig 3 and then you install bitwig 2.4, it won't open your projects from 3.


Tracks greyed out, upper left of arranger (below 4/4 and bpm) there's a box with like 3 grey lines: click it

VST plugins, where to put them.
