    Hey Thought-Forms, asking here instead of as a reply to your reply below (so it’s more likely you’ll see it), how come you can’t stand Ableton? I’m considering which one to get, that or Bitwig. Of course I can just get trials for both but I’m curious about the strong opinion. P.S. I’m currently using Reaper and «sound designing» with free VSTs/FX and getting dope sounds (imo) but those other DAWs look way better for that. I will say Bitwig looks more appealing than Ableton on an aesthetic level.

    • @Thought-Forms
      @Thought-Forms 6 дней назад

      Sure! They're both great DAWs, cant go wrong with either. Navigating Ableton's UI feels cumbersome after using Bitwig. It's not a pleasant experience, always felt like i was battling their UI instead of making music. Middle mouse pan / zoom alone in Bitwig = god tier. best to trial both yourself though. these are the types of things that may not be issues for others. cheers!
