Hey, I'm glad I stumbled on your channel. You are in that strange niche of music that I'm into (where electronic meets "real" recorded music). I'm just curious as to why you don't work solely in Ableton. It's a great DAW. I also have been messing about in Bitwig a bit. Subbed and looking forward to whatever else you have to offer in the future. Cheers, Josh!
Oo that's a whole can of worms question, a lot to say on that but I'll try to explain it briefly as possible, Logic's the first DAW I learned, so its my main one for that reason. But it can't really be used for live performance, so I got Ableton to play my tracks live and just for that purpose initially. Over time really got into its built-in FX and some creative workflows in it, so now incorporate them into my process. Having used both DAWs for over 10+ years now, for me each has their strengths and weaknesses for different tasks, genres or situations, and there's some small little things in each app where they outdo one another, IMO. I could probs do a whole vid on this as there's quite a few niche things i could compare there, It's a generalisation as both DAWs could be used to make any style of music, but I would also say Ableton feels more comfortable to make electronic music in, and feels geared to that. Logic feels geared more towards recording bands, writing or arranging 'real' music like you mentioned so more like bands, rock, jazz, that sort of thing. So combining the use of both has made sense to someone like me who's into combining electronic & organic styles of music. I trialled Bitwig ages ago and it seemed like Logic & Ableton combined together in 1 app and more. It's really cool, if I wasn't already used to my workflow I'd probably have got into it more!
@@joshtrinnaman I totally get it. Back in 2007 when I started getting into audio production, I used to use Cubase. I kinda gave up around 2010, and returned to producing around 2015, I got into Ableton. Radiohead's Kid A was the album that blew my perceptual doors open as to the boundaries between avant grade rock music and electronic music. I'm pretty sure Thom Yorke uses Ableton to script his ideas for Radiohead and also his solo work and Atoms for Peace. Anyway, it's always nice to see creators using guitars and analog equipment with Ableton. PS - I still think Bitwig has the possibility to be the future. I just love Ableton's Glue Compressor, Drum Buss and capture MIDI function.
