![]() In fact, I often enjoy sketching new ideas in Bitwig as the workflow is incredibly fast. The price of Bitwig is 1/3 of Ableton (the Suite,) and it is new code with no legacy PDC issues. This aspect is somewhat similar to Logic's Smart Controls, and I'd imagine other DAWs such as Cubase also have similar workflows, but Bitwig's plan is to have the entire app as one big modular host, at least from what I can glean. It serves its purpose quite handily, and I gain access to their version of "Session View." Their latest releases have upped the ante on the stock plugins, and the aforementioned Unified Modular capabilities are quite good- with the ability to include third party SW Instruments, quite handy for automation with the macro controls. I'm on a Mac and am not too familar with VST3s, though I do use Bitwig on a PC laptop. Bitwig's ultimate goal is extending their Unified Modular environment such that the whole platform has Max-for-Live type functionailty baked in. Those who own the Suite do get The Glue out of the box at least. ![]() I don't want to get into a shooting match regarding Logic's stock plugins v Ableton's. You have no access to their plugins (not that Logic needs them,) unlike with Reason- the whole reason Rewire was originally created. I have done the rewire thing with Ableton. It's quite CPU hungry and produces no better results than copying and pasting "clips" (scenes in Bitwig lingo) from one DAW to the other. Logic is my primary DAW and I am quite happy with Bitwig. That's why it took a bit of extra time but they wanted to redo this early on since the previous framework they were using didn't work so well(portaudio). Bitwig as company and a daw ROCKS! YMMV of course !!!Īlso yes it works great with hardware and with 1.2 they rewrote part of the audio engine that was used to interface with the users audio interface. I will admit I am bitwig fanboy and rightfully so. The community there is VERY supportive of the team and the vibe there shows it. Head over to the KVR forums for bitwig if you want a better picture of whats going on. They are hands down for me one of the best in the business in terms of community involvement. So be patient and more importantly be respectful to an extremely quality company. 1.2 beta 4 will be released very soon the rest of the license holders im sure. I am in that group and 1.2 beta 3 has proven to be pretty darn stable for me right now. Right now they are in the stages of 1.2 beta to a select group of beta testers. They are extremely fast with releasing updates, much more so than any other DAW I have ever used. They engage their users and implement based on user feedback(within reason of course). It has some issues here and there(its quickly becoming issue free though for me) but they have the best support i've ever dealt with. I have been using bitwig since its release(previous live user and cubase).
