Bitwig Studio is a proprietary digital audio workstation developed by Bitwig GmbH. Bitwig is available for Linux, macOS, and Windows. Bitwig is designed to be an instrument for live performances as well as a tool for composing, recording, arranging, mixing, and mastering. It offers a suite of controls for beatmatching, crossfading, and other effects used by turntablists. Bitwig supports both traditional linear music arrangement and non-linear (clip-based) production. It has multi-monitor and touch screen support. Bitwig is notable for its strong modulation,[1] and automation capabilities.[2] The current stable version of Bitwig is "Bitwig Studio 5.1.2". In 2017, Bitwig Studio was named DAW of the year by Computer Music magazine.[3][4] In 2023 it was named DAW of the year by Future Music magazine[5] and Music Radar magazine.[6][7]

History

In 2022 Bitwig GmbH was one of the main sponsors for a new audio plug-in interface, CLAP.[10]
