https://stream.indieagora.com/videos/watch/435b2090-a071-4275-9289-1e42e8ba7c3f So I started messing around with Bitwig after being an Ableton loyalist for many years. My switch to Linux was made fully possible because of the existence of BItwig as Ableton was the only reason I kept Windows. Keeping Windows because of one application seemed silly to me. I decided to treat Bitwig on its own terms and discovered something very unique about it. Ableton is pretty much just a DAW that has plugins which you can buy for lots of money, all readymade and impressive, but BItwig is much more advanced as it is more of a sound design system. I always fancied getting a Waldorf Iridium which is over £2000 but what I see in Bitwig is much broader than what the Iridium can offer me for around £300. You can basiclaly design your own synths and then save presets instead of adding plugins, so true to its native environment Linux, it offers total customisation. I let go of looking at it as a 'repleacement' for Ableton and saw it for what it is - infnite by design. Very clever as the devs clearly anticipated a gap in the availability for plugins in a Linux environment and instead opted for the user to create anything alongside the DAW. Pretty cool. I have the essentials package but will definitely be upgrading to Studio now that I have let it speak for itself.
