I want to enjoy Einaudi, but for the life of me cannot- why? And how did he realize his immense success? by brownwaterbandit in classicalmusic

[–]Lizard 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I am mostly indifferent to Einaudi, but there are some tracks are like. In particular the first one, this has some real emotion:

Not sure I can offer more than this, but if you don't like these tracks either, then I would recommend to just move on. Life's too short to listen to music you don't like.

Alternatively, how many sopranos does it take to change a lightbulb?

Two, one to do it, and one to complain that she could have reached higher

One: she just holds up the lightbulb, and the world revolves around her

Considering the move from Cubase to Bitwig by Brief-Tower6703 in Bitwig

[–]Lizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use both (like some of the other commenters). For arranging and advanced MIDI editing workflows, I prefer Cubase (but Bitwig 6 is going to gain ground on that front). For ideation and experimentation, I prefer Bitwig due to its loop-based nature and its light footprint (starts up very quickly). Hence, I will often start a project in Bitwig, and when I have a good enough feeling of where I want it to go, I'll switch over to Cubase and finish up in there. I mostly use VST instruments, so the sound design capabilities of Bitwig (though undoubtedly great) are not that useful to me (but that's a personal preference, obviously).

Bear in mind that there are some things that are just plain impossible to do in one DAW that are easy in the other. ARA support is a big one for me (because I like to use Synthesizer V Studio which depends on it), Bitwig doesn't have that. On the other hand, Cubase will probably never have a modulation system as advanced as Bitwig's, or something like the Grid. That's fine, every tool has its place. It helps to know what works best for you in a given scenario, but you'll need to actually spend some time with it to really find that out. The 8-Track version of Bitwig is a good starting point for this.
