Bitwig Studio 1.2 Education Education DAW Software

Bitwig Studio is the next generation music creation, recording, and performance software with a focus on flexible editing and super-fast workflow.

Combining traditional arrangement sequencing with modern performance-oriented clip launching workflows, Bitwig Studio is the ultimate solution for realizing all your musical ideas across every stage of production.

Capture your ideas in clips and quickly create complete arrangements, combining clip and scene launching. Or just record your ideas in a traditional multi-track environment. You can always turn your audio or MIDI recordings in to clips subsequently.

However you prefer to record, create or perform, Bitwig Studio will get the best out of you and your music.

Bitwig Studio also comes with a complete compliment of editing tools for both audio and MIDI. And it's fast to use with advanced layered editing, multiple audio events per clip plus much more. The foundation is a state-of-the-art audio engine under the hood, with full multi-processing support, a unified modulation system, 32/64-bit VST plug-in bridging, and VST plug-in crash protection.

Following rigourous testing, and an epic period of development, the moment has arrived. Introducing the next level of Bitwig Studio, and our most significant free update so far, Bitwig Studio 1.2

Those of you currently using the 1.2 Beta will discover a very welcome new addition, a major update to the Bitwig Studio Factory Library. Our Sound Team has set a new standard and taken a fine-toothed comb to every existing preset, resulting in a hands-on browsing and macro control experience unlike anything you've experienced before. 

Also included, 500+ brand-new fully mapped clips and presets from our esteemed partners at Detunized, Overclock Inc, Mode Audio, Prime Loops, and Sample Magic.  Each collection uniquely demonstrates the power of the devices available in Bitwig Studio 1.2

In March 2014, Bitwig Studio was introduced to the world as "The Next Generation of Music Software." Since then, you've witnessed Bitwig implement countless new features to meet the demands of a better workflow and something different. Today we take a quantum leap forward to present you with the official release our next major update, Bitwig Studio 1.2.
