#Bitwig studio 2 upgrade

It was on a 1-2 year upgrade cycle for most versions, though the last couple have been 4+ years. Let’s compare: Ableton upgrades are $160/$300 (Standard/Suite). Totally agree! I understand why it FEELS bad to everyone, but it’s not as evil as it’s being made out to be it’s strategy, not extortion. But hopefully the will change their mind and not become greedy. In the future, when BW really become a market leader, it might become the most expensive DAW if the management decide so to go over the early adopters dead bodies. Hope they find some investors which will take the “investment burden” away from current users and thus lower the upgrade price. That may make sense, but it may depend BW’s financial situation if they can get over these growth pains.

For now, the forums are full with disgust. 🙂 so guess many users, like me, will just keep in it the closet or not upgrade and wait and see, This pricing look more like BW is panicking and need money, so the next 12 months could mean live or die for BW.

#Bitwig studio 2 license

If lots of people put their license on ebay for $99 (Just paid 249 euro a few months ago !), then the E 159 upgrade to 2.0 will become really attractive for new users to play with BW for another 12 months and to see if they deliver what they promised.
