Das lange warten hat für viele endlich ein Ende und Bitwig Studio erscheint am 26. März 2014 für Windows, Mac OS X sowie Linux. Hinter der mit Spannung erwarteten DAW steckt unter anderem ein Team aus ehemaligen Ableton-Entwicklern un soll euch 299 Euro in der Download Version kosten, oder 329 Euro in der Boxed Version. Das Programm ermöglicht euch Mehrspuraufnahmen sowie Arranger- & Mixerbasiertes Starten von Clips und im Gegensatz zu anderen DAW’s (DigitalAudioWorkstation) gibt es keine Trennung von Audio- und MIDI-Spuren, ihr könnt einfach beide einfach in einer Spur hinzufügen und bearbeiten.
Auf Automation wird ebenfalls großen Wert gelegt und so ermöglichen euch Clip und Per-note Automation komplexe Automatisierungen wie z.B. abgefahrene Pitch & Panning Variationen. Die Benutzeroberfläche wirkt übersichtlich, ermöglicht das öffnen von mehreren Projekten mit Copy&Paste und Drag&Dop zwischen den Dokumenten . Da hierfür schon mal mehr Platz am Monitor benötigt wird unterstützt Bitwig Studio das arbeiten an drei Bildschirmen. An Soundtüftler wird ebenfalls gedacht und dank nativem Modularsystem können so eigenen Instrumente und Effekte erstellt werden.
