Sadly after almost a decade of maintaining my software I have to say goodbye. It's not NI though... it's M$. My PC is fast enough to do what I need but this year will no longer be allowed to. As such I am moving my bitwig to Linux and since NI does not support Linux in any fashion I will be forced to say goodbye. A long history of money now wasted because NI chooses to jump on the bandwagon of "you're system is too old, buy more to continue"
A shame really because some of the tripe they made wasn't that bad. At least selling all the hardware I was idiotic enough to buy will make me enough to afford a solution not under contract.
