$399 in an overcrowded DAW market??get the bleep blank filth flarn blip outta here!

Pass.

I was very excited about this as a possible P5 replacement.  Not $399 worth of excitement, though.

Somebody tell them they're going in the wrong direction.

I'm trying to figure out what it is supposed to offer... All the crap on their page just seems to be "stuff a DAW does". Like they say thing like "Multitrack recording" and "Audio clips". Really, never seen that one before, well except for Cool Edit Pro back in 1998... and every single DAW thereafter.
 
Maybe it does something amazing, but if so their marketing sucks. They basically just seem to be saying "It's a DAW!" Ya, ok, well I can get lots of those, and for less than $400. The stuff they show looks to maybe compete with the base version of Sonar X3.
 
My guess is they spent too much time on making a Linux version, not enough time on making it something that would draw people in.

I'd forgotten about this - if they had released this a few years ago it might have been exciting!!!!

Still not released.
Their Facebook page says....
Release Date : March 26th 2014.

BitWig? Sounds like a brand for a toupee or something like that. Other than having a dark shade, the UI and workflow looks similar to Ableton Live.
 
I'll also pass.

It offers ALL the things that a DAW offers....just like SampleTank 3 NOW offers all the things that Kontakt has offered for years!!!  What's not to like?
