I hear ya. It's different for everyone but I witnessed a lot of that in my old day job.

When you earn a moderately high salary, intentionally overpaying your federal taxes (withholding more than you know you'll owe) keeps the tax man off your back and the interest for a year on $3-4k in a typical bank account would be peanuts anyway... so it's (for - some - married guys with kids) "the revolving man toy plan".

Toss the wife a couple of grand and go 'big man toy shopping' with the rest.

That's what I and a lot of my co-workers did anyway after taking out a pre-tax 15-20% for the college fund & IRA account.

Well.. They might have a great time-stretching algorithm to stretch the last few days of 2013, and finally release it this year.

This has been hard labor for the Bitwigs, I think they need a vacation after the release

But nothing is guaranteed, neither is a 2013 release.

You can read that any way you want, but I read: "We would like to release...".
And I am very sure that they would have liked to do that a lot.

Cheers,

No, it's just Bitwig Christmas delayed.

Consider when it is released it's Christmas all over again.

Happy Musiking!

It says "def. this year." It doesn't make sense to read it as "we would like to definitely get it out this year." The "we would like" part applies to summer. Dom said before at a trade show that they were thinking it would be out by summer but definitely this year, so that's what he must be referring to.

It's not a guarantee of course, but I think it's safe to assume that they intended to get it out this year when they wrote that. Considering that that was written relativity recently, I think it's reassuring. Maybe there's a chance they could still make it, or more importantly not go too far past it. Unless they decide to add stuff or they run into some huge issue, of course...

"We would like to" is regarding a summer release. "Def. this year" has nothing to do with that, and stands on it's own.
It's not about how anyone reads it. It's really not that difficult.

Not that I really care about when it's released.

Ogopogo · Post by **Ogopogo** » Sun Dec 22, 2013 7:35 pm

Yes, my point was that it's not reading anything into it to say that it shows an intention to release this year. That's just what it says. The idea that the release will come near that time isn't much of a leap from there either.

The subtext is:

"We don't really see this being released this year; but we're too scared to say so and loose all the free PR, goodwill and anticipation we've cultivated by misleading the entire music production industry w/ false milestones, Photoshopped GUIs and a website that shouldn't have been launched."

Anyone else out there that's thinking about creating a new DAW, just follow what these guys are doing -- Harvard is going to add this as a case-study in their Business Marketing Curriculum next semester!

Just kidding... kind of.
