Excellent sequencer but disastrously poorly developed memory and internal memory resources of this DAW. They haven't stopped incorporating modules and effects that simply use up any coherent memory used, unless you have 128GB of RAM, good luck as it will crash within a few tracks. The developers of this company surely test it on computers obtained from NASA. I have spent my money badly here, I regret it very much.
Read ReviewThis looks exciting! MAybe it will be the new king in town?
This does look like something I might buy! I can't wait to see how this program progresses!
Has anyone tried contacted them? I asked them (politely :) ) a few questions about sound quality and stability, no answer after more than a week.. :(
Looks alot like Ableton Live... Interesting.

looks like something that the linux audio production world has been waiting for a long time. Interesting.
still waiting for the Beta. I suggested a few features they should definitely have. Fingers crossed!

Any news?
Seeing as there is to be a Linux version can anyone confirm Bitwig will support JACK?
I wonder if those who signed up as beta testers and got chosen had to agree to an NDA?
Yes it does support JACK.

I have been pretty vocal about some of the crashes but they are quick to make things right. It has the best workflow I have experienced, very intuitive for me. It's worth sticking with if you want bleeding-edge features. Don't read into forum feedback too much, it is pretty solid overall. Adobe Creative Cloud stuff crashes from time to time too, and they are generally well-regarded as being stable and mature.
No legato clip mode. (http://answers.bitwig.com/questions/271/legato-clip-launch-mode?page=1#7487)
Touch mode is just for show, not for work as it misses a lot of critical functionality. (http://answers.bitwig.com/questions/6493/touch-screen-suggestions-tablet-mode?page=1#6501)
But finally this is a great product, with a lot of cool features comparing to ableton.
Please we need a paint tool in the piano roll of BWS...... Its really important for drum sequencing... I think that's a big missing tool in BWS.... Especially considering hiphop trap producers that are many in this new age...

And I would love some sort of "auto-tune" for audio. I love BWS but when recording certain instruments I have to bounce the track to a file, move it into Logic on another computer, apply appropirat tuning, bounce that down to a new file and import that file into my Bitwig project. Takes a few extra minutes with a USB stick handy, but as I said it would be really great to do everything inside Bitwig.
I am sure you heared that before, but what about playing/singing the part in the desired tune in the first place?
BW2 also has a pitch shifter device added, that may help you with importing material...
I could not make it work in Fedora. I installed the JRE, I activated it as standard Java application, I did everything (apparently) correct. When I call it via terminal or via shortcut, it opens only the splash and nothing else ...
foooking great!!!!!!.
It's almost 2018 and Bitwig can't change time signature by events, which is a pretty basic thing for any DAW. I really like everything, but this one thing makes Bitwig useless for me.

Good day folks, .
I wanted to contribute some Bitwig presets that I've been putting together to learn the software, and play around. It's on a blog with blogspot. Thanks for checking it out. I hope you find some things you can use. Any suggestions or links to your own presets or tutorials are appreciated.
I own it and love some of the features – especially native Linux support is pretty wild and makes it somewhat unique.
But working with music that does not follow a consistent, pre-defined tempo currently really is pain in the ass with that software. You have to create tempo maps manually, like an architect or programmer constructing everything on paper. This is not fun, and results are not the best – this is not how musicianship works. Being an Ableton competitor, I somehow expected it to have at least something in the direction of the tempo follower feature. This was a mistake, it doesn't offer anything like that. Not even a feature to help with creating tempo maps after recording something, let alone something that works with performing live.
I still keep Bitwig to fiddle around with it, as I really like it, but I won't invest into buying updates until it offers at an automatic tempo map creator, or at least some sort of workflow that makes it easier to create them manually.
