Record and arrange
Bitwig Studio offers intuitive tools to make recording, editing, and arranging any material simple. Streamline your creative process and quickly evolve ideas into complete tracks.
Improvise and perform live
Take your music out of the studio and onto the stage. Bitwig Studio is also built for live performance, letting you play mapped-out sets or find your groove on-the-fly.
Design sounds, synths, and more
Bitwig Studio is a sound design dream, with a modular approach and tons of instruments and FX. Browse a rich library of presets and sounds, or build your own instruments and FX from scratch in The Grid.
Play and produce with exclusive instruments
Already stocked with tools to help you create, Bitwig Studio features versatile synths like Polymer and Phase-4, the malleable Sampler, and a streamlined Drum Machine.
Find your sound with dozens of audio and note FX
Maximize the potential of any sound with audio and note FX (including brand-new tools in 4.2). Sculpt with the feature-packed EQ+, transform note streams with Micro-pitch, and so much more.
Chop, fade, and stretch audio to work for you
Audio clips are your musical blocks, and you can make edits within them. Split at onsets, repitch with curves, or scale and stretch your audio as you want it.
Get the perfect take with streamlined comping
Stitch together the highlights of your recording session in no time. Even long audio is “folded” to create new comps, allowing you to explore old takes in a new way.
Step this way to modulation heaven
The modulation system in Bitwig Studio allows you to use 35+ (and counting) Macro controls, Note Expressions, LFOs, and Envelopes to modulate any device, VST plugin, or even hardware parameter.
Express yourself with notes that do more
Notes are dynamic, allowing you to fully control and modulate micro-pitch, pressure, panning, and more for each individual note.

Plug-ins, the audio engine, and other processes all run in separate threads, so a technical issue won't bring your whole project down.

Touch support
Featuring support for multi-touch with unlimited touch points, gestures, and simulated pressure, Bitwig Studio is on the forefront of new ways to make music.
An intuitive DAW that goes beyond everything else in the depth of its built-in modulation routings and access to the Grid, where you can interact with the fundamental components of the Bitwig architecture.
Richie Hawtin
I went to a music tech college in Osaka, and a teacher there told me about a new DAW that was being released, Bitwig Studio. I was just beginning to make electronic music, and I wanted to make music more intuitively. Bitwig Studio seemed to be able to do that.
Yuri Urano
It captures my imperfections which is what I like...I like things being loose, I like to record straight in and not have to worry about it.
