Can anyone give a few specific advantages of Bigwig over say Logic or Ableton?
- JodieBenitez 1y agoMade the switch from Ableton to Bitwig a few years ago and never looked back so maybe out of date now: - modulations everywhere that is actually easy to use and works - easier modular synth environment than Max. Think easy like Nord modular but much, much better - Linux support - better UI overall
- replygirl 1y agobitwig is the leader in probabilistic sequencing and automation. they entered the space with three big ideas: (1) you can modulate anything by anything else, (2) any modulation can have probability applied, and (3) automation can be applied to individual notes. these ideas were always around but relegated to more niche tools like reason and max. thanks to bitwig, the other daws have spent a lot of the last ten years applying these ideas as well, but bitwig still has the most complete solution. it's a great primary daw for outboard- and plugin-averse recording engineers and bedroom producers; it's the best _secondary_ daw if you use one of the majors for work and want something fresh for play, inspiration, or continuing education. i use ableton. every time i get excited for an update, it's because i'm finally getting something bitwig users have had for years
- vunderba 1y agoDon't know if it is still the case - but one of Bitwig's initial advantages over Ableton was that it did a better job of "siloing" your plugins, so if for some reason one of your VSTs crashed it didn't take the entire DAW down with it.
