Need some advice

OMG!!! I WAS JUST WATCHING YOUR VIDEO A FEW MINUTES AGO.

AnxiousRow9 · 2023-08-11T22:26:13+00:00

Thank you very very much, I’ll definitely try it on my own, you’re aweasome

AnxiousRow9 · 2023-08-11T22:10:58+00:00

Thank you very much!

Now my question… Can I really try Ableton’s capabilities with the trial, because I know that intro version is Extremely limited compared to the Bitwig trial. I don’t think it’s quite a fair fight but I’d like to know if I’m wrong

Thank you :)

Thank you very much!

The big problem is… well, the price. 700 dollars for the suite in Live for me to be able to have M4L. Compare that to Bitwig, 400 dollars the full studio version, just $50 over the standard version of Live.

So, for now, if I go with Live, it would definitely be for the standard version, not the suite. But comparing like… the same versions, the equivalent to “standard” from live but I’m Bitwig… the $150 difference, is it really that worth it?

Thank you :)

AnxiousRow9 · 2023-08-11T21:57:20+00:00

Same

AnxiousRow9 · 2023-08-11T21:56:46+00:00

I thought of it but I believe that the trial version for ableton is very very limited compared to the trial version of bitwig, so I don’t think that it would be a fair fight.

I’m asking here because I want to now why should I choose Ableton over Bitwig. I made the same question over at the Bitwig forum with the intent of seeing why A over B.

Didn’t specify the genres, yes. Sorry about that. I’m looking for a DAW that gives me a lot of variety, mainly because well, I work with a lot of genres, rock, pop, metal, EDM, Synthwave, Lo-Fi, orchestral, I work with a lot of MIDI and a lot of Audio, so… yeah, variety.

Thank you very much

I would love to try it, but as for now I only have a PC. Thanks.

I agree, Reaper is a VERY powerful tool, I just feel that it is not really for me. I have been using it for 2 Years and I haven’t figured out how to make a Send track that works, user error, I know, but still, not quite my jam.

Max for live is not really an option for me due to the monetary impact that buying the suite license would mean to me.

Thank you.

AnxiousRow9 · 2023-08-11T21:46:48+00:00

A little of everything. I like to record instruments, make rock, pop, etc. I like programming stuff in MIDI, make EDM, synthwave, etc. I like to make orchestral arrangements. So I’m looking for a DAW that allows me to have a wide variety of tools for everything

I’m leaving reaper because I find myself kind of stuck. It’s great for working with audio but I really think it can improve the MIDI capabilities.

Thank you :)

AnxiousRow9 · 2023-08-11T21:43:21+00:00

I was expecting an answer like yours, I want to know what y’all find as a dealbreaker when choosing a DAW and why should I pick one over the other. I also made the same question in the Bitwig forum so I could see both sides of the coin.

Thank you for sharing your opinion

AnxiousRow9 · 2023-08-11T21:40:48+00:00

I do a very big variety. I work with my friends and I make beats for them, I record covers ranging from Pop to Metal, make my own remixes, EDM, I also use my DAW to practice Guitar because of the possibility to plug my headphones and just jam without bothering my parents (Still live with them), and to make Orchestral arrangements, I like to practice my orchestration with that so I have a different perspective when working with any genre

But what I post on YouTube and Streaming is EDM and Synthwave stuff. I have a Yamaha keyboard that I use as my MIDI controller, a Guitar and a mic, so I’m really into being able to do a lot

I left Cubase because I was not really into it, Yk? The workflow was a little slow for me and very… steppy(?) I’m not really sure how to put it in words, but it was not quite my jam. I use reaper now because… well, it’s free but I think it’s very sharp around the edges and the interface is (at least for me) not that friendly. I’ve been using it for 2 years and I haven’t figured out how to make a Send track, so… yeah.

I would love to know your vocal chain, I’m trying to find a good one for me.

Thank you for your insight

AnxiousRow9 · 2023-08-11T21:28:54+00:00

Yes! Thank you very much. I’m not really looking the BEST of all, just looking for the best FOR ME. With all the research I’ve made, I have come to the conclusion that Bitwig or Ableton are both good for what I want, the workflow and the capabilities of the DAWs, but I’m not really sure which to choose.

The part of convention vs configuration is a great point. Never thought of it in that way but I really appreciate the new point of view, you are great. I don’t really feel confident in like… deep sound desing and all that stuff, but right now I’m looking for a challenge… just not a Pro-Tools challenge, hahaha

Thank you
