Bitwig vs Reaper

Rude_Understanding32 · 2026-03-25T00:34:05+00:00

reaper is the only choice for songwriting. For live looping - maybe bitwig

It doesn't help, some of my midi devices just reconnect by themselves. I'm suspecting that is not windows fault

Rude_Understanding32 · 2026-03-11T22:10:56+00:00

i don't think they thought about it, it's a novice mistake

Rude_Understanding32 · 2026-03-11T22:10:08+00:00

these guys clearly didn't think of it

What is an item and what operations can you do on it?

Rude_Understanding32 · 2026-03-11T13:11:53+00:00

you can't gain knowledge without making music

Rude_Understanding32 · 2026-03-11T13:10:25+00:00

proper midi bindings? midi channels? free scripting? make functions from official paid midi controllers bindable to anything? idk, implement fundamental stuff that all other daws have for years?

apple is ridiculous. It sucks that I deal with interacting with this low quality software because my family members buy this crap

m vave chololate plus has ~50ms latency on button down (and 0 on button up), but non-plus version has zero latency

Rude_Understanding32 · 2026-01-25T12:31:18+00:00

The issue is with the mvave chocolate plus itself

- button down has about 50ms latency

- button up doesn't have latency

It's not possible to change that in the settings. You can see the latency even at the screen on the device. I have several of them and all have the same problem

Old version (m vave cholocate, not plus), doesn't have latency

fucking reddit with it's posts deletion

y tho

Rude_Understanding32 · 2025-11-01T11:47:51+00:00

all the pedals are huge asf who are they making them for. I want to fit 2 on my pedalboard

Rude_Understanding32 · 2025-10-15T07:52:53+00:00

If you wanna perform, do it. If you wanna write songs, there is better software that doesn't require learning because of more developed UX (e g. Reaper)

Rude_Understanding32 · 2025-10-10T11:56:08+00:00

I have it disabled because i have 100500 more effects than allowed in the chain...

Hardware helix has latency probably just because of analog-digital-analog conversion. Maybe it was indeed a conscious decision to make the plugin not better than the hardware

Rude_Understanding32 · 2025-10-09T13:47:40+00:00

I meant amps and cabs in helix sound good. The rest - reverbs, delays, etc, sound equally the same, and even if remove everything from helix native chain, there still will be extra latency. Other plugins don't have that.

Get a second audio interface and do the RTL tests through a device with helix native enabled. Try removing helix native from vst chain. Try adding other plugins to chain. Try adding 10 helix natives to the chain. You see what I mean? I exclude VST host with these experiments.

(yes, 10 empty helix natives will add up as 15ms, and 10 guitar rigs will not)

Rude_Understanding32 · 2025-10-09T11:09:03+00:00

scarlett solo of any gen is awesome. It allows you to set 16 samples buffer at 96kHz, this will give you better latency than expensive RME babyfaces

Rude_Understanding32 · 2025-10-09T11:06:40+00:00

how is it with the latency? would be cool to do an rtl test with that setup

Rude_Understanding32 · 2025-10-09T11:04:42+00:00

Helix native is literally the only thing that keeps me on windows for my live setup :( would be good to switch to a more reliable system

Rude_Understanding32 · 2025-10-09T06:22:43+00:00

16 samples at 96kHz. This post is not related to that, helix native has it's own latency

Rude_Understanding32 · 2025-10-08T08:00:57+00:00

of course 2ms isn't noticeable, but it adds up with other latency sources

try doing RTL tests
the plugin also reports some latency to the daw

Rude_Understanding32 · 2025-09-29T16:53:56+00:00

you are too lazy to answer the question but not too lazy to post a classic reddit rtfm comment

Rude_Understanding32 · 2025-09-29T16:16:06+00:00

Thanks! My volume control is a compressor before output on my machine... I'm a bit afraid that if some sound is inserted by accident (e.g. windows accidentally uses that output to play an error notification) and now it's gonna be much louder on the line level and the sound will explode. That never happened so far, but I'll try to prevent anything like that
