The problem I have with your list us I actualy disagree with about half of your requests to BITWiG and don't give a hoot about a lot of the features you want, that list is personal to your needs, not a collectively agreed list (like Abletons vote for features). I would rather BITWiG did things their way, I certainly don't want them to copy any part of Cubase, as there are probably. Enter ways to. E invented (and if they were going to copy anything it should be S1 which was an evolution of Cubase in many areas).Bobby L'Avenir wrote:Sometimes it's best to use what's becoming a lost art form properly before posting, READING. I'm not trying to be rude but i posted a comment 5 up from yours in the hope people would have a less limited mind set in this thread as people tend to scan read things, fail to understand what the topic is, then assume what the topic is based on how they think and post comments or opinions accordingly. Would it be cool for me to give you a movie review if i left the theatre after 15 mins? This will always happen though, we live in an age of distraction so people will read things lazy and still feel the need to comment when they have not properly listened (this forum is all text so listening here = reading properly and some have already switched off reading thisSLiC wrote:Dear BITWiG
Please make Cubase!
Seriously, I have cubase 8 and used to use it when I was recording a guitar/vocal based track (I now use S1) it is the 'spreadsheet' of DAWs, it does everything pretty well (and is the best for linier complex midi arrangements).
Cubase already exists, don't make BITWiG Studio be like Cubase, I used different DAWs for different jobs, even different moods....BW is fast, fun, great with my modular...starts and finishes tracks, it replaces Live completely for me and 80% of what the more established linier DAWs do.
Sure, fix the bugs (still plenty in Cubase, check the forum!) but pick the DAWs for the task, there is not and never will be one DAW for everything...add all that stuff to BITWiG and it won't be fast and simple anymore, it will be the drop down menu heavy window heavy spreadsheet like DAW that already exists.....).
The problem with this is that other distracted or lazy readers who would've had something worth contributing read your post and assume you actually read at least the original post (like you'd expect from a movie reviewer to have watched the whole movie) and have made a logical assessment so no need to read for themselves, so they then without using their own mind take your view point and start posting when your view point was off target because you never read/listened to the point in the first place. even worse some don't post at all, this leads to threads going waaaay of point or dying off. Please go read my post 5 up from yours, and then properly read the original post too.
Also your post makes no sense i places and has quite a lot of limiting beliefs that i for one won't accept. How on earth do you know that bitwig would be full of drop downs menus if they added more features, you don't even know how'd they'd go about it to say such a thing. Also correct me if i'm wrong but the aim Bitwig had was to make a daw that had the best of clip based daws (Ableton) and the best of the standard linear daws (cubase, pro tools, logic, S1). A limited mindset says bitwig will as you say will never be the "one DAW for everything" and that a user should "pick the DAWs for the task", Bitwig have already failed in your way of thinking. Again see my post 5 up from yours for what i feel is a much better way of thinking. Why stop at the 80% you mentioned when you can go for a full 100%?
If people are saying i use logic and bitwig, others are saying i switch between ableton and bitwig, then obviously there's more room for improvement in bitwig. So what do bitwig need to make those improvements? Feedback from users, hence my list. If you use other daws for other tasks, why? What exactly do you use and how does it help you work faster? Why is the guy that helped make the amazing Push for bitwig going back and forth between ableton and bitwig, what are those features ableton has that makes him boot it up?
This is why i started this thread, make a list of your own whilst you're working in the other daw you use, then send it to bitwig and post it here too for us to discuss in a sharing like capacity (you say S1 is "the best for linier complex midi arrangements" ok why?)
Nobody and nothing gets to be the best or even o a platform with the best by telling themselves so early on, they'll never improve or be the best, anything is possible if you aim high, practice proper listening and understanding and work hard, all things i've seen form the bitwig team so far. And before anyone does the scan read thing and comments on this post
It's posable that BITWiG and the open, modular structure may end up doing something completely revolutionary, like letting a users configure their own DAW the way they want it, which let X face if, is the only way a single DAW can be all things to all people.
My very reason for posting was to discuss this but at least disagree with a bit more class mate. Some people would say S1 is crap and Bitwig should never look at emulating some of the best it has to offer, how rude would it be to phrase it to you as "I don't give a hoot about you or your workfolw and bitwig should copy pro tools"? That's how you came across despite the title of the thread, then to boot you ended by giving your preference after telling me you don't give a hoot about mine 
I understand everybody has slightly different needs when it comes to a DAW so there will be no wish-list that appeals to every single person. I do feel that you & your list is coming from a similar basic place as my own though.
