Ableton is a different ballgame if you have the Push interface. Other than that Reaper needs a mention, it is the best DAW[1] in terms of functionality and power. Truly for power-users and not necessarily as a musical idea starter. [1] http://reaper.fm/ http://reaper.fm/

> Ableton is a different ballgame if you have the Push interface. Bitwig, started by former developers of Ableton, supports Ableton Push and many other MIDI controllers[1], and is probably the most advanced DAW for electronic music production currently available. It's not as popular as Ableton, because it's much newer and most people rarely switch DAWs they are used to. > Other than that Reaper needs a mention, it is the best DAW[1] in terms of functionality and power. That's true, Reaper might be the best DAW for any non-electronic music oriented workflows. But this separation is essential: they were designed with different primary use cases in mind. I wish Reaper supported Linux natively (without Wine). [1] http://www.mossgrabers.de/Software/Bitwig/Bitwig.html http://www.mossgrabers.de/Software/Bitwig/Bitwig.html

  Just wanted to throw in a comment here: Reaper actually does have native Linux builds [1],even if they are marked as experimental. [1] https://www.reaper.fm/download.php#linux_download https://www.reaper.fm/download.php#linux_download

  I'm an owner of Bitwig and a huge fan; that being said I think it's more fair to say that Bitwig supports Ableton Push with a few asterisks. It is supported as far as the Bitwig scripting API can support it. The experience is not the same as using Push natively with Ableton.

    What are the differences? Does the screen work? I have a Push 2 with Ableton.

      Here are the open issues for the Bitwig Push controller scripts to get a sense of what's not working: https://github.com/git-moss/DrivenByMoss/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3A%22Ableton+Push%22+ https://github.com/git-moss/DrivenByMoss/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%...

+1 for Reaper. I use it on Linux and it is excellent.
