I think they were started by some guys who left Ableton, and they announced Bitwig Studio. They're apparently close to a limited public beta, which I've signed up for just out of curiosity. And it claims Linux compatibility. Cool.
This is the screenshot I'm excited about:
Window Sets in Pro Tools and Logic are insanely useful workflow tools, and Ableton has been missing them. That alone makes it worth considering for both production and live performance IMHO. Well…it will once people see whether it's stable or not.
It looks like Ableton Live with a few UI tweaks and workflow elements stolen from other DAWs (I see some FL Studio and Pro Tools influence). Oh, and a metadata-based browser.
I'm pretty sure that I won't be purchasing it, but people might be interested.
