Where Does Bitwig Studio Store Projects and Settings?
Bitwig Studio library, projects and settings folders in Documents on Windows, macOS and Linux.
Last updated
Bitwig Studio defaults its library to a Bitwig Studio folder in Documents: projects, presets, samples and settings each get a subfolder.
The library path is configurable, so a missing folder usually means a custom location. The dashboard settings show the live path.
Where Bitwig Studio stores this, by platform
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\Bitwig Studio
Default library root with projects, presets and settings. Verify in the dashboard when customized. Close Bitwig before copying for migration.
~/Documents/Bitwig Studio
Same default layout. Use Go to Folder in Finder when navigating.
~/Bitwig Studio
Same layout. Third-party plugins live outside this tree and need separate reinstalls.
Frequently asked questions
How do I move Bitwig to a new computer?
Copy the Bitwig Studio folder with the app closed. Projects, presets, controller scripts and settings travel together. Reinstall third-party plugins separately.
I moved my Bitwig library. Where is it now?
Check the dashboard library settings for the live location. Custom library paths override the default below; the settings panel is authoritative.
