NEW to Bitwig Studio 5.1: New Filters & Waveshapers
5.1's filters and waveshapers give you more options for coloring your sounds. All are available both as Grid modules or housed within the new Filter+ and Sweep devices. A cast of three new Character filters bring distinct personalities that can make a simple waveform dynamic and fresh, and the new formant filter speaks for itself. The six shapers provide different flavors, with each changing at various intensities.

Hardware integration
Let software control hardware, or hardware control software. Or both. Take advantage of the best of two worlds in a way that scales with your setup.
Crash protection
Plug-ins, the audio engine, and other processes all run in separate threads, so a technical issue won't bring your whole project down.
Presets, clips, and samples
Extend your library with loops, presets, and sampled instruments from hand-picked partners and artists. All high-quality and free to use.
Awarded 'Best DAW in 2023'

Product Information
Bitwig Studio is the single solution for realizing any musical idea across every stage of production. Its intuitive tools for recording, editing and arranging any material will help you streamline your creative process and quickly evolve your ideas into complete songs, tracks, compositions or live performances. You can translate any idea into music with over 90 different instruments, audio and note FX, container devices, and signal routers.
