![]() ![]() ![]() They see a new BW version with new shiny toys, compare it with an older Live version, start talking "Live Killer", but then a new Live version comes out some months later and makes it obvious that comparing a new version of a DAW with the 3-years old version of another DAW is kinda myopic.īitwig is not new, it was founded in Jan/Feb 2009, people started taking about how it was going to beat Live because Live was "old" (note that Live was in v7 back then, and Live 1 was launched in 2001, 8 years before that). The same as with every other DAW out there, basically.ĭespite what everyone always likes to say, and no matter how many pseudo-objective comparisons are being done, at the end of the day choosing your DAW is something deeply personal, as no matter how long the features lists, how the fast or slow the release cycles and how fervent the fanboys, the only person that needs to gel with a DAW is you.ĭoes anyone have experience with the Ableton vs Bitwig Situation and can tell me more about it?īasically people forget that Live development never stopped, it is ongoing. So yeah, Bitwig *can* be a beast if it has a feature you and your workflow would really benefit from, or it *can* be a toothless kitty if the things it's lacking are what you and your workflow heavily rely on. automation not being sample accurate, moving horizontal automation lines makes the adjacent points jump around willy-nilly and so on). I created bug reports with Bitwig almost two years ago that still have not been fixed (e.g. My biggest issue with Bitwig is that, in my opinion, their business model makes it more likely that they create flashy and marketable new features instead of improving what's already there. I own both a license for Live 11 and Bitwig 4, and no matter what Bitwig introduces, I personally still always go back to Live after the novelty of Bitwig's new features wore off. What problems do you have with Live? What would you hope Bitwig does better or different? Have you tried Bitwig for a while to see if its workflow suits you? ![]()
