That is expensive, quite probably more than I can afford these days...

you all really expect it to be half the price of ableton? lol

Does anybody know if the modular stuff is going to be in 1.x, or have they put it off till v.2

It was always going to be close to Abletons price IMO. Looks very promising. Would be easier for BW to break into the DAW market quicker with lower pricing but they may need keep the price high to pay development costs e.t.c

Logics pricing is probably beyond most devs ability to compete with.

wow, is that meant serious ?

10 times the price of my current DAW....hmmm....I gues I'll stick to what I have

Maybe they release a cheap version without samples and synths, I really don't need those.

Since Bitwig has now opened the beta testing phase (since today), I hope those of you who were invited to beta-test it (if any) will at least report if the product you're beta testing is real or not...

i'm not but i got 4 emails so far today thanking me for not testing, none of which had any cats in

If that is in the right ball park for price it makes me think that they are going to struggle breaking into this market which is already overcrowded. Look at what happened to Avid recently - doesn't look good for them right now, and I'm sure that doesn't bode well for a company that has yet to make a sale.

Would like to see them succeed but I don't know they're going to find it easy to break into the market with an untried product with costs on par with the established products.

I've had 6 so far.

any cats?

looks like maschine 3.0.
or like a white trash version of ableton live.

No cats.

Who said white trash was a bad thing.

6 emails two cats already in the house and 'ÖkÖk' and 'Fregona' around the corner

Yes, No AU support is a bad move. You would think that a new DAW like this can't afford to alienate a significant number of users in the community. There're a lot of impulse buys the first month or two and this is a nice inrush of capital for a start-up. I don't think I would jump ship from Logic, but I would have something like this in my toolkit. Over time it could find itself taking over assuming the results are beyond expectations. I love Logic 9 and am not the one waiting for X in order to make music. Having said that, if Logic does go the route of Final Cut, Bitwig could be in a good position to catch those who do see where the future of Logic is heading. No doubt those users are relying far more in AU than VST. I guess I would like to have a reasonable explanation for why they chose not to support AUs. It would be interesting to know.
