Alla Bluemke

Celine Surico
16.07.2012		I'll wait until they have AU support (if ever...)
Makkins Clifton
16.07.2012		I'm in contact with the Bitwig guys and girls. The first batch of invites was very small. They'd like to include more functions (like VST-support) before letting other people in. There will be more invite waves though.
Jerica Salava
16.07.2012		can we change the title of this thread to "Bitwig Studio beta officially launched, MAYBE ..." Or "THE BIG COCK TEASER DAW...." Everytime it come up I get excited and then nothing

>
Virginia Flaagan
16.07.2012		well shit im gonna do that also. we need a djtt review of the beta! unless it violates an NDA!
Random X
16.07.2012		I sent them an email that I had not received any letters apart from the one when I signed up and asked if I could be enrolled as I should be.


Since then I directly received a newsletter.
Kandi Odom
16.07.2012		hahahahah same here scamo!!!! i feel left over!!
Rey Holubar
16.07.2012		I could swear I signed up for the newsletter, but haven't gotten any mails yet. Me tries again.

scamo
Virginia Flaagan
16.07.2012		ive been signed up for a long time and never receive anything. some wonky ass email distrobution.
Erich Vallabhaneni
16.07.2012		also multiple newsletters
Celine Surico
16.07.2012		Release frequent newsletters or die.
Cristian Carmona
16.07.2012		Got the email, saying hi were in the beta phase, gee thanks
Loreta Altema
14.07.2012		Did it say beta has started like the 3 more i recieved today?? lol
Random X
14.07.2012		Finally had email from Bitwig!
alfredo moreira
14.07.2012		I was overly excited when I recieved the email! And then it was just an announcement
Still very exciting though!

It looks almost exactly like Ableton, which would certainly make the transition easy if I switch over. Hopefully Bitwig is a lean and efficient daw from the ground up.
I hope one of us gets in the Beta testing phase!
Leeanna Ayla
10.07.2012		I've had three newsletters now.
Kiyoko Wellisch
10.07.2012		Anyone else have a mini heart attack when they saw "Beta testing has begun!" in their inbox?

Such cock teases... :P
Rolanda Clodfelder
10.07.2012		4 newsletter duplicates - no invite boohoo

If they were smart that's how they would do it- they need to develop a strong base and it would be foolish to price it around $500-$700 with live.

logic is (or was) $199 in the app store. If they price bitwig more around there they could do some damage.

Also I finally got a newsletter, but it looks like no invite.
Nedra Fresneda
11.07.2012		New video looks quite promising. Hope it has decent external MIDI sync, otherwise it's useless for me on stage.
Nereida Jasnoch

11.07.2012		edit: ffs 7 times now

Celestine Porebski
10.07.2012		Haha, now I got the newsletter a fourth time. Somebody sure does NOT now how to send out emails on their side
Leeanna Ayla
10.07.2012		I've never gotten an email from the either.
Romelia Stankard
10.07.2012		I haven't even gotten an email saying beta testing has started.
Celestine Porebski
10.07.2012		So, apparently they finally sent out the first beta invites. I got their newsletter (stating that beta testing has started) a wooping 3 times (to the same email), but no invite for me yet

Did anybody get lucky?

Exactly! How many 1.0 versions of any software have been released that have not had pretty big issues up until at least a 1.1 patch though

Beta testing like so many things depends on how we go about using things in our various ways, and judging from the screenshots there is a shitload of variations that can be made (more than Ableton by a longshot), chaining things, mapping things etc .. so I hope they get a wide and varied Beta Testing Team and not just people who use Ableton for production every day.

Of course maybe they are holding off for a merger from Ableton

Maybe we'll all be pleasantry surprised, but I'll let a few others take the reins before splashing out (unless of course I get a beta invite at which stage I'll test to hell).

especially if the Bitwig coders 'borrowed' some of the underlying code from Live when they left Ableton.... would be difficult for Ableton to prove and would make sense considering how close they look to each other...

Agrred - the browser SUCKS for DJ'ing. When will they add support for mp3 tags???

Agreed - it's like they stuck in a crossfader at V1, and thought "that'll keep the DJ's happy - no need to add proper DJ functionality..."

I fear you may have hit the nail directly on there head there, mate.

OR - the old Ableton dev crew are gonna take Bitwig in the direction that Live was always headed (an awesome, awesome, dedicated DAW), and the remaining Abe's change Live into the Serato/Traktor beating live performance tool that it should be*!!!

*The clue is in the name (Live!!!)

but still, these guys made an entire new daw from scratch that does way more in the past three years

It's not so much a rip off when the people behind bitwig are responsible for ableton as we know it. I see it more as they got frustrated with the company so they left and built the DAW that they really wanted to. Bitwig is really just the next evolution of live and unless something major changes over there I don't really see ableton moving forward since they lost their key developers. Ok ableton is just now adding 64 bit support but still, these guys made an entire new daw from scratch that does way more in the past three years and I'm not expecting ableton to go much further anytime soon.

Nedra Fresneda
06.07.2012		They even gave ableton enought time to release a x64 beta
Romelia Stankard
06.07.2012		Nothing. Invites would "go out in a few days" on June 21st. Seems they come out to announce beta is happening really soon every couple months then disappear.
Loreta Altema
06.07.2012		How's this coming along?
