[Muzaq] Namm 2013: Bitwig Studio in Action (Video)

Besides Ableton Live 9, the uber-most anticipated music software so far is still Bitwig Studio.

Although the beta test, announced almost exactly a year ago, seem to have included only a tiny part of their potential target market, the people are still more than keen on what the current status of development is…

Check the following video from the NAMM 2013 to get the latest insights – and pray with us that we get a public beta soon ;-)

[Muzaq] Bitwig Studio Beta: VST Crash Handler

Well, it’s been quite some time now, since Bitwig released a Beta version to selected testers. After Ableton showed us new features for their upcoming release of Ableton Live 9, now Bitwig shows us a new video of their latest development progress in handling VST-plugins.

Now VST Support looks like having become fully integrated with integrated crash protection: when a VST plugin crashs the Bitwig will not crash aswell. Bitwig will instead allow to reload the crashed plugin or even to reload all plugins.

Update [Jan 28, 2012]

Forum threads indicate there is a tiny chance that Ableton might sue Bitwig for cloning parts of Live’s GUI, in legal terms for violating the protection of registered designs.
