Bitwig Spotify Playlist made with Bitwig.Community Presets by /u/polarity-berlin.This subreddit is meant as a place for Bitwig users to ask questions, share techniques, post news about Bitwig, and join in community activities. The problem with this business model is that Image-Line is probably more interested in adding plugins than developing the core product, so existing users take the hit and a lot of issues and niggles never ever get fixed.Bitwig is a Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) for Mac, Windows, and Linux.
BITWIG STUDIO FREE FREE
Image-Line make money from existing users by releasing new plugins that are only free for new users, while existing users would need to buy them separately. I actually use FL Studio as well but I thought I'd be unfair to include it in this comparison because with FL you get lifetime free updates.
BITWIG STUDIO FREE UPGRADE
Like you said you don't necessarily have to upgrade once every 12 months if you are happy with the current set of features, but I expect Bitwig will try their best to release something compelling enough to encourage you to upgrade asap. It gives Bitwig devs a strong incentive to release quality updates more often, unlike most other popular DAW makers that basically release bullshit updates in between major releases and often fix old outstanding issues, and roll out the big potatoes only every 3 to 5 years, after which some of the old issues are still firmly in place. Now that I think about it, Bitwig's business model is actually very clever and probably benefits both them and their customers.
BITWIG STUDIO FREE UPDATE
One more question, does Bitwig's discounted upgrade plan only apply if you renew your subscription immediately as soon as your previous one runs out, or can there be gaps in between (for example, until a compelling enough update is released)? Wouldn't it be better to just call it "Bitwig" (without the number) and just keep updates trickling in incrementally? Because, from many users' perspective, paying $179 for a period of 12 months where a major update takes place is much better value than a period of 12 months without any major releases. A 12 month subscription for $179 makes an implied promise that some jaw-dropping, game-changing sh*t is guaranteed to happen in the course of those 12 months, else why would anyone want to upgrade? The funny thing is they also have major version updates-Bitwig 2, Bitwig 3, etc. Honestly, Bitwig is a great DAW, but is it worth the asking price? Bitwig has set the bar pretty high for themselves IMO. I'm considering Bitwig but the price seems slightly ambitious, what's the word?Īll three products listed cost about the same for new users, and all products offer discounted upgrade plans for existing customers (the discount for Ableton seems to be calculated on a user-by-user basis so I don't have an exact figure).
