Everything in life is only for now

Yep, I've done all the streets myself. Some good times, don't wanna sound like it's all bad. But the bumps and potholes are just too much now. Time to retire (to maschine

)

Isn't Maschine retired already?

The reason I'm keeping maschine (until it dies) is because it's a terrific guitar utility

Volume, tempo, it's right there. If I want to play along with some chords or whatever, I can do that too. Now that I've said that, I'm sure it will die (why not, everything else is going wrong.)

Keep what you have mate. By the time the new Machine comes out it's discontinued and the next version will be announced. Seriously who can keep up these days with all that?

Why do you think I'm broke?

I just got my invite, but since I'm not interested, I told them to give it to someone who cared

I got an invite!! Then I woke up and found myself starring at a blank Reaper project. I cried.

Computer Music magazine/Music Radar appear to be enjoying the current beta. They've written a very detailed (NDA-breaking??) report on it here:

http://www.musicradar.com/computermusic ... ive-553523

Given that "hybrid" tracks, VSTs and stuff aren't yet available in the beta, I guess there's still quite a wait ahead before the commercial product is really ready to launch though :/

But they are really impressed with the parts that are already working well, so this is becoming more interesting

Wow. (to the article)

It sounds more like an alpha than a beta, with so many things "not working yet" according to the reviewer. That's a little... surprising... given the long delays.

Nice review though.

"Bad habits are hard to brake"
Working at Ableton for long time...

Edit:
What counts really, is that they will come out with something really special.
Hopefully.

Fully agree. My comment wasn't a knock at all. I actually was just a little surprised that a thing goes into beta with no third party plug support and some automation not yet working.

But yeah, it actually does look like something that might be rather special indeed. The anticipation is reaching a peak.

I wish them the very best of luck with the launch.

Ok, so who's enjoying Bitwig BETA??
