Will there ever be rex file support???

[VariKusBrainZ]

They wont implement anything that cant be supported across all the platforms Bitwig runs on, which includes linux.

They implemented touch support for Windows even though it is not there for Mac...

Just observations

And lack of touch support won't stop you from opening projects on other OSs, besides any 3rd party plugins you've used

That's true...

But those who work across platforms could easily bounce to wave.

I think it should be the users responsibility. I wonder how many works across platforms
compared to us who are missing rex file support ?.

I also use Mulab which support rex on windows and I have never heard anyone using the Mulab linux version complain.

If you read this Bitwig please reconsider.

But if i.e. it doesn´t matter if any VST´s are not available on the platform, than it shouldn´t matter with audio files neither...
In fact, there is no 100% compatibility for all supported platforms and I would be quite p*ssed off for being punished that linux is a niche platform, which simply isn´t supported for audio production...

Astonishing.

Don´t take me too serious...
I often get a bit enthusiastic in my wishes... after reading my posts a few hours later: Jesus, what have I done...

[Trancit]

best to directly ask support then support(at)bitwig.com

Done ...

Let us know what you hear!

You wanted to know the answer... here it is:

"...it is already on the wish list, but there is no decision yet if it will be part of a future upgrade or not.

Best regards,
Bitwig Technical Support Team"

What can I say...

If so... I don´t really understand... they have to build different versions anyway, why don´t support things which are available and leave it where it is not available...

Do you have any idea of how complicated it gets with managing software versions if you would have a different feature set on different platforms? That would be an incredible PITA... And then trying to give user support when some people can't even identify which platform they are on? Or someone getting angry because they bought the software and then can't use a certain feature because they are on a certain platform.

Honestly... if this is the excuse for not including substantial features (at least for me), because a niche platform, which is perhaps used by a 100 people for audio production over the world, doesn´t handle feature XYZ...

...then I say Bye,Bye Bitwig... because you´ll never know, where this ends...

ARA... yes of course... oh no wait... we cannot... Linux doesn´t support VST3 and it would be a PITA for us to have different versions...

so what did support answer you?

I've posted about Rex before and i got a lot less than 100 replies, so by your standards, it is less important than linux.

Can i have your stuff? (you need to be a gamer to understand this though)

Switch to live then...oh no wait... no ara or vst3.

Or switch to the daw that shall not be named for rex and vst3 now and ara soon.

It's obviously much more than 100 people using Linux for audio production. And since Bitwig is a top dog DAW in the Linux world, it is a good market for them. The u-he plugins are also available for Linux. That is a damn good combo!

Also, the number of Bitwig users using Linux likely exceeds, and significantly, the number of people that see no rex file support as a show-stopper.
