Deserves more popularity!
Nisgia 17.12.2022
Bitwig is a modular daw that`s super stable has regular updates that add new features and has Linux support.

It has to mature with some of it`s features but it`s already at a very good level!

Everyone that`s familiar with Ableton will feel at home but will surely miss some things like audio to midi and the midi capture. Let`s hope they get added at the next update.

The Grid adds another dimension to the creative playground you get with it!

Devs had some trouble with the community after the release of spectral suite as an addon but they got their lesson and realized it was a bad approach. Of course everyone who is paying yearly support does it so to get the latest and greatest. After all that was one of my main concerns about supporting them was the constant development (get`s patched 2-3 months with new content) and the rate of updates.

Overall the workflow and Ui is nice and i think it needs to get more attention.

If you are on linux or want to spend less than ableton is asking you need to check it!

Versatile and Powerful DAW for Creative Producers
Aaron Dolan 21.09.2024
Bitwig Studio stands out for its flexibility and modular design, making it a favorite among electronic music producers. The integrated clip launcher and powerful modulation system allow for highly creative workflows. Its intuitive interface is easy to navigate for both beginners and seasoned professionals, though the software’s complexity may require some learning time. With regular updates and strong community support, it's a worthy investment for anyone looking to push their production boundaries.

Ich bin begeistert.

Nicht überladen. Workflow ähnlich wie Ableton, aber in gut.
Schöneres Interface, geringere CPU Auslastung, alles was man braucht vorhanden, günstiger als Ableton Suite.

Das Grid sieht mächtig aus und wird mir vermutlich noch viel Zeit klauen / schenken.

Das digitale Multitool für Kreative
CreativeCastle 01.02.2025
Nachdem ich jahrelang Steinbergs Cubase genutzt habe, dessen rückblickend recht komplizierte MIDI-Implementierung der erste negativ-Punkt ist, der mir dazu einfällt, hatte ich währenddessen auch noch zeitweise meine Hände an Logic und ProTools, welche doch schon recht intuitiv und übersichtlich sind.

Mit Bitwig hatte ich aus folgenden (vielleicht banal wirkenden) Gründen länger geliebäugelt: Existiert erst seit einem Bruchteil der Zeit, die Logic/ProTools und Cubase den Markt beherrschen, kommt aus Berlin und wird/wurde von einem meiner Lieblingskünstler "Stimming" benutzt, welchen ich für seine einzigartige Herangehensweise in Bezug auf "elektronische Tanzmusik" schätze.
Der entscheidende Tropfen war dann der große Preiserlass zum 10jährigen Bestehen der Firma.
Seither konnte ich die Software schon mehrmals mit kleineren Updates erweitern, da im Kauf alle ein Jahr darauffolgenden Updates inklusive sind - so habe ich heute erst Update 5.2.7 heruntergeladen - finde ich klasse!

Die aktuelle Software bietet meines Erachtens alle denkbaren Möglichkeiten, von simplem Roh-Aufnehmen einzelner Spuren um erstmal Ideen festzuhalten, über zuverlässige Mehrspuraufnahmen während eines stundenlangen Jams bis zu Sounddesign from Scratch mit dem modular aufgebauten Poly Grid bzw. FX Grid in dem sich die Welt der unbegrenzten Möglichkeiten auftut.
Einen Stern Abzug gibt es dennoch für eine Kleinigkeit, die ich beim ersten Mal vergeblich gesucht hatte und mir doch gerne ProTools-ähnlich an den Hauptkontrollschaltern jeder Aufnahme-Spur wünschen würde: Phasenumkehr

P.S.: wer sich mit einigen einzigartigen Funktionen der Software vertraut machen will, sollte einmal auf YT nach "The Bitwig Mycelium" suchen.
