Bitwig Winter Sale
Bitwig never wanted to be like other DAWs, but was designed more like a sound generator than a tape machine from the beginning, but combines both worlds splendidly and at the same time on the screen. Highlights are certainly the fully modular working environment – everything can be modulated with everything else – and our favourite function "Bounce in place", which is to be understood literally, because Bitwig allows MIDI and audio to exist simultaneously on one track.
