Bitwig Studio has had lane-based comping for audio for years. It never showed up for MIDI, and it comes up on the forum over and over. TakeLab adds it: record take after take into stacked lanes, then comp the good parts together.
Outside my stack, on purpose
Java and the Bitwig extension API are nowhere near where I work. That is why this stayed an idea for so long. Learning the platform properly would have cost me weeks, for a tool that a few hundred people would install at most.
Agentic coding changed that. I knew exactly what the tool had to do, because I am the user: a producer who wanted MIDI takes to behave like audio takes. What I did not have was fluency in the platform, and that is the part I could hand off.
What it does not replace
It does not replace knowing things. Someone still has to read what comes back and judge whether it is right. What changes is how much one person can build alone.
