Noone likes bitwig? Coz I love it

 

not much better than Live, and in Live u can show hide the GUI of the VST devices by shortkey ( by default it's ctrl+shift+p, so worth to remapping it, Autohotkey on win can do it quickly for ex.

^e::^!p

route it to ctrl + e)

track based, so don't have to open the VSTs always one by one it's zillion times faster than in any DAW, + has MAX integration so u can solve your little problems(routing/device) by some programming (and has zillion community devices)

this is how I solved the routing of Nora in it to different tracks with voice based splitting > http://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=460628&sid=6839bbde0a9ba8d4fd7dddc2c784b85a

I use both bitwig and live, I like the kick,snare and hat in-built synths, I design my kicks and snares in bitwig, I also love the midi layers, a really good feature for composing melodies, basslines and chord progressions at the same time, then after I have the fundamentals of a song I switch to Live.

 

If Live upgrades their interface like that in Bitwig (Ability to replace Session View With Mix View, Big Meters etc), then I will never look at Bitwig again.
If Bitwig makes their arrange view media item editing like that in Live, then I will never look at Live again.

I am using both Live and Bitwig with Reaper.

 

I do everything from recording midi, programming drums, recording vox and live instruments, mixing etc... straight out of FL Studio 11. In a 96khz environment. Fast automation and even faster getting ideas out. I use focusrite claret 4 pre, ART pro MPA 2 (occasionally the focusrite pres sound much better) Sterling ST79 with the SE electronics reflection filters in a semi treated room.

 

but normally u put the devices there too so there is not too much space



ps. yepp multi-clip editing



a must have, ghost note based one is PITA

 

Don't mean to derail the thread, but a buddy of mine brought his Avalon AD20 to record at my setup. First thing I noticed was way to much room noise. I don't know the exact details of that preamp (except that it's allegedly one of the best) but it seems like it just creates a louder signal. I got more headroom, but had to dedicate a lot more time eqing the shyt out of the vocals. Especially around the 350-600hz range. It was a headache. Or maybe I'm just use to doing things on my budget setup because I get good results.

 

so versus the original post this is how AL look real in the mix view ;) on the secondary monitor



if u close the device bar at the bottom u won't able to see the inbuilt sampler,eq,spectrum views so I keep it open, no more space here ...

 

@subGENRE: Thanks for posting this! Although imho Live's strength is the session view, it's nonetheless interesting to really do the hard work with both DAWs and reporting about your experiences.
I believe there is a good reason why a respectable number of users start composing, looping and arranging snippets in Live's session view and later on transfer the project (or just some wave exports) into a "linear" DAW.
So what you wrote seems to confirm that.
One question though: Are your clips mainly audio or mainly midi? Or mainly frozen midi?

 

How did you do to see all effects on the channels like that in the session view???? Photoshop?

 

Photoshop xD
