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]
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]
Bitwig was founded and developed in Berlin by Claes Johanson, Pablo Sara, Nicholas Allen and Volker Schumacher in 2009.[8] Since 2010, Placidus Schelbert has been the CEO after he left his position as an International Sales Manager at Ableton, in the same year.[9]
In 2022, Bitwig added a new "Spectral Suite" range of effects containers behind a paywall, against their sales agreement with customers that Bitwig would not introduce additional purchases beyond its annual update fee. This caused outrage among its community, causing them to add the range to the then-upcoming Bitwig Studio 4.4 at no cost, and offer refunds to those who had purchased the range.[10]
In 2022, Bitwig GmbH was one of the main sponsors for a new audio plug-in interface, CLAP.[11]
In 2023, Bitwig and competitor PreSonus collaborated on .dawproject, an open file format to facilitate migration of projects between different Digital Audio Workstations.[12]
The flexible modulation system allows to dynamically influence nearly every parameter in a sample-accurate manner, even across tracks. Hybrid Tracks allow for the simultaneous editing of MIDI and Audio Data on the same track,
The modular architecture of the software ensures a high degree of stability: Should a plugin or the audio-engine crash, they can be restarted separately, without compromising the project.
The DAW provides extensive support for controlling external hardware using CV or MIDI, including direct output via an Audio interface. Modern Standards like MPE are fully covered.
An open Controller-API allows freely configurable hardware mapping and customization of most MIDI controllers.
Bitwig Studio includes features such as automatic latency compensation, tabbed opening of multiple projects, configurable routing, and drag-and-drop transfer of elements between projects. [13]
The included stock instruments and effects can be expanded using CLAP and VST Plugins.[14]
Bitwig Studio is one of the few commercial DAWs which support Linux as well as Windows and MacOS. Three editions of the software are available, listed here in ascending order based on the number of features: Bitwig Studio Essentials, Bitwig Studio Producer, and Bitwig Studio. [15]

FL Studio (previously known both as FrootyLoops and FruityLoops) is a digital audio workstation (DAW) developed by the Belgian company Image-Line. It features a graphical user interface with a pattern-based music sequencer. This program is often used as a 'gamified' alternative to less accessible industry-standard DAWs such as Logic or Ableton. It is also seen as more cost-effective, and after the initial purchase, lifetime updates of the software are free to registered users. It is available in five different editions (including FL Mobile) for Microsoft Windows and macOS. Image-Line also develops FL Studio Mobile for Android, iOS, macOS, and Universal Windows Platform devices. FL Studio can be used either as an Audio Unit (AU) [macOS only] or a Virtual Studio Technology (VST) instrument in other audio workstation programs, and as a ReWire client. Image-Line offers its own AU and VST instruments and audio applications.
FL Studio Mobile is a digital audio workstation available for Android, iOS and Windows UWP. The program allows for the creation of complete multi-track music production projects, which can then be exported in WAV, MP3 and MIDI formats, to work with other digital audio workstations, or in FLM project format to be opened in FL Studio 10.0.5 or later. Various features include a step sequencer, piano roll, keyboard, drum pad, track editor, effects, and 133 sampled instruments including synths and drum kits. Instruments can also be added as .zip or .instr files.
Studio Pro (formerly known as Studio One Pro) is a digital audio workstation (DAW) application, used to create, record, mix and master music and other audio, with functionality also available for video. Initially developed as a successor to the KRISTAL Audio Engine, it was acquired by PreSonus and first released under the name Studio One in 2009 for macOS and Microsoft Windows. PreSonus and Studio One were then acquired by Fender in 2021, which led to the product's rebranding as Fender Studio Pro in 2026. Since 2024, users who purchase and register a copy of Studio Pro receive a permanent license for the software, alongside one year of subsequent feature updates. It is also available as part of the Studio One Pro+ monthly subscription program.
Before the 1921 destruction of Tulsa’s Greenwood District, Black residents had created a remarkable center of business and community life. The district included stores, professional offices, entertainment venues and homes owned by Black citizens. Understanding Greenwood means learning what was built—not only what was burned.
