But now it looks like the wait has an end, thanks to BITWIG! I have been working with Bitwig since the release one and i am blown away! Not one crash since i installed it! The workflow just beat Live on all areas and it feels so natural to work with. The concept is much better than Live everything is right at your fingertips at all times, no more Live clutter here! The meterring is the best i ever saw on a DAW and it makes it so much more fun to work with and looks "Killa". The instruments works great, and seems more logical to me than the instruments in Live? The sound of Bitwig is nothing else than "Amazing" and the look and feel is so much better than Live even at release 1.0.2! The effects seems simpler, but does a great job and they sound "Very Good"! I could mention so many other great things about my experiences with Bitwig, but every Live user should test for him or herself, believe me, you will feel right at home.
Offcourse Bitwig has alot to do in the future, but they release Bugfixes FAST and they listen directly to their users on KVR, and thats COOL! In the future Ableton will have to change the way they work otherwise "Henke" will play "Live" with "Bitwig" in a couple of months, thats for sure!
UPDATE: "This Ableton vs Bitwig" article from Computer Music Magazine, seems to fit just perfect into this post! I am NOT alone when i compare something i got with something new on the market! And i did in RESPECT to Ableton and its users add a "?" in the titel!

Heres some pieces from the review;
"Now, two years later, Bitwig Studio is real, released and very much its own DAW. It’s still evidently built on Live foundations, but beyond that, it undeniably pushes the envelope in numerous areas, making Ableton's seemingly untouchable music production and performance giant look at times conservative and behind the curve."
"To describe Bitwig as any kind of successor to Live's throne after only a few weeks on sale, then, would be ridiculous, Or would it..?"
"Live's inability to give access to its Arrangement and Session views at the same time has been a perennial issue among the Ableton faithful, so the Clip Launcher has been a cornerstone of Bitwig's pre- and post-launch marketing."
"Bitwig’s solution takes the prize for its simplicity, economic use of real estate and ergonomics"
"Oh, and the Big Meters in Bitwig’s Mix View are pretty sweet, too, giving those who don't use the Clip Launcher something else to fill all that empty space with, as is triple monitor support, should you be well-equipped enough to need it"
"Yup, that means Bitwig can handle audio and MIDI clips on the same track - a feat made possible by its Hybrid track class. In summary, Bitwig's in-place rendering leaves Live's looking positively archaic."
"Also landing a punch for Bitwig is native OS X full screen support. Live's non-native equivalent gives a full screen view, but sits it on top of all your other apps rather than giving it its own OS X Space."
Offcourse this is just the benefits of Bitwig, but Live also beat Bitwig in some other areas, but how long?
Welcome to the Future.....Guys! And Girls!
