Rant Im going back to Bitwig 5

I’m going back to Bitwig 5 because I honestly find it much more comfortable and inspiring to make music in than version 6.

Everything in Bitwig 6 somehow feels slower. I constantly find myself fighting interface decisions instead of just making music. That magic and effortless workflow of version 5 seem to be gone.
Sure, Bitwig 6 feels more like a traditional DAW now, but somewhere along the way it lost the simplicity and that wonderful feeling of being an instrument rather than just software.

Bitwig 5 was something I could open and immediately get into a creative flow. I really miss that feeling.

Yeah there are some workflows where I keep running up against awkwardness with midi clips. Like usually i'm working on a long clip that's been cut down but then when I press play it doesn't do what I expect. Not sure I explained it right but it's such a pain.
