Does Bitwig seem like a daw that very few people want? Kind of a rant I guess.

Trading a current Bitwig license for an ancient version of Reason is the kind of decision that makes most people quit drinking.

Bitwig is definitely the most stupid name for a DAW.

Bit-wig or bi-twig? Both daft.

Years ago there was a user called nathaaaaan on the Ableton forum. TBF nathaaaan would be an even worse name for a DAW.

Fruity Loops will always be the dumbest name. :hihi:
Besides the cringe of Magix Music Maker.

Bitwig is awkward, but at some point it will stop being more than the name of the plugin, like Cubase. :borg:

For me its the most cpu intensive daw that there is. There is no way to change the theme, and their upgrade system seems like a rip off. You buy Bitwig and within one year you have to buy the upgrade. Most daws you buy version x.0 and you get all updates until z.0

It also seems like no one wants Studio One either. I dont know much about it other than it other than it became confusing af after version 2.0

Just venting I guess.

Naming a DAW Bitwig is genius, just type that name into Google :D

The most stupid name for a DAW is Reason (yep, the one I use :hihi: ), try to google for anything related to it is close to impossible :dog:

I quit drinking years ago. Maybe I should start back up?

It probably sounds better in the original German.

(actually I guess it probably *is* "Bitvidge" then?)

Bitwig is a big improvement in traditional DAW workflow. If they are lacking money, they should focus more on DAW features instead of effects or instrument devices.
Right now, Bitwig's piano roll is one of the most basic one.

No, it doesn't - it's actually pronounced exactly the same in German - maybe that was one of their objectives too? (Besides having a near 100% hit-hate with search engines.)

Edit: "hit-rate" of course, not hit-hate... :dog: :shock: :lol:

I have already agreed a trade with OP for Reason, so they didn't have to wait too long.
