In this video, I discuss the new audio import behavior in Bitwig Studio 5.2.5 and how they've addressed some issues users had with the audio stretching functionality. There’s now an option to switch between "Sync to Project" (the default), "Original Speed," and "Raw" modes when importing samples, giving more flexibility in handling audio files. I also touch on improvements to the device chain view when adding devices, which now scrolls into view automatically. These updates mark a step forward in making audio manipulation and navigation smoother.

Key points:

New Audio Import Settings: Users can now choose between "Sync to Project," "Original Speed," or "Raw" for more control over how samples are handled.

"Raw" Mode for Imports: When importing in "Raw," samples aren’t stretched, making it easier to work with fixed tempo audio.

Sample Start Options: You can start clips from the first detected beat or the sample start, which is useful for finding precise audio entry points.

Device Chain Improvement: When adding devices, the view now auto-scrolls, fixing an issue where devices were hidden from view in longer chains.

User Preferences: Though "Raw" mode is used internally for recordings that match project tempo, some users may still prefer an explicit "Raw" mode option.

These small but impactful changes enhance workflow efficiency.

Bitwig listened!

In Bitwig 5.2.5, Bitwig made some changes to the audio import I mentioned in one of my recent videos. https://youtu.be/pN1oxghAEg0 We can now default back to raw mode when importing audio files or temporarily disable it with hotkeys while importing.

RAW and Original Speed sound like they should give the same result to me. What's the difference?
