John Maar Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 I got Bitwig v2 8 Track free on a similar deal. It did not upgrade for free to v3 when that was released. It was so feature-limited that I couldn't do anything useful with it. I got so tired of all of the "pay to upgrade" spam from them that I uninstalled it and never looked back.

ralfrobert Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 BW 8track is mainly interesting because of the discount you get when upgrading to the full studio. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abacab Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 I would only recommend Bitwig 8-track if you want an upgrade step to the full program. 8 tracks is probably enough for some things, but on it's own I found it mostly useless as 8-track limits you to 2 plugins. Whoah!!! 🙄 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fleer Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 Better get the 16-track version. Or full Bitwig Studio. It’s a pretty unique DAW, feeling like an instrument in its own right. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abacab Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 I already have the latest Ableton Live 11 Suite. So I'm not really all that interested in also investing in Bitwig Studio. But I was curious about some features in Bitwig that Ableton doesn't have. It looks like a great program, but the 2 plugin limit in 8-track was a real showstopper for me as far as any meaningful use. You are right about getting the Bitwig 16-track (for unlimited plugins), but that's $69 (Winter special) to upgrade from 8-track to 16-track. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fleer Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 I didn’t gel with Ableton, always found it a bit ‘bland’. So I was quite happy when Bitwig was launched and I immediately jumped, as if they succeeded making a sexy version of Live. Even visited them during the Frankfurt MusikMesse when they were presenting their first version. Remained loyal ever since, as they’ve been adding incredible stuff with every upgrade. It really feels as if it’s a DAW-like instrument. It’s the DAW I actually “play”, Another very creative one is Tracktion’s Waveform. But my main DAW still is MainStage/Logic (while I love to dabble with Reason 12, but for god’s sake, make it Apple Silicon native, you silly Propellerheads).

The language translation sometimes makes things a little odd, and I prefer CM's British cultural focus (with the interviews with the classic 80's synth pop pioneers), but as far as technique articles, they're doing fine.

Bitwig seems a bit closer to Project 5 to me, so I use it on occasion. However, there are a few things in Bitwig that are just completely unintuitive and not in the manual. Tap Tempo is a great example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitekrazy Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 I'm somewhat of a Live fanboy. It's an expensive DAW if you get Suite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Ableton almost, but not quite, gave the Suite to me. Have had the standard version of Live since Live 5, which stopped working along the way with Windows 7 due to some incompatibility. I didn't update it because it wasn't my main DAW. Then one day after Gibson shut Cakewalk, Ableton offered me a very affordable deal to upgrade from any version (loyalty to customer deal) to the then current Live 9 Standard. Talk about timing! I was in the market for a new DAW at that point, so I thought why not? Then fast forward to their imminent release of Live 11, and they sent me an upgrade offer for Live 10 (Standard or Suite), with option for a free upgrade to Live 11 . They sweetened the deal just enough for Suite to be within my budget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patricio Campos Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 (edited) Isn't this like false advertisement or something? Bitwig 8 TRACKS has been alway free and they advertised it as costing 99€ which is plainly false (even the 16 tracks version is cheaper than that). Shame on them for trying to sale more magazines by lying to uninformed people. Edited December 5, 2022 by pcampos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
