IME Bitwig is heavyweight enough it doesn't really matter what you're connecting with, plus it "wants" Pipewire (IIRC that's the only thing CLAP will work with?)

And I don't want to sound like I'm dumping on Pipewire; I think the work Wim has been doing is absolutely awesome and (unlike a lot of what FDo puts out) actually solves existing problems rather than hypothetical ones. It's just not quite (yet) what I need as a DJ and looper.
