What you're describing is sound manipulation, i.e. regardless of whether the sound is generated by samples or MIDI instruments, but "audio manipulation" is usually meant in a more narrow manner, i.e. sample editing.* In that sense, I fully agree that Bitwig is better at sound manipulation, but Live has the upper hand when it comes to audio manpulation - not so much because of features, but because of more streamlined workflowTj Shredder wrote: ↑Thu Apr 09, 2020 9:43 amAudio rate modulation! If you never used it you simply don't know what you are missing in terms of mangling sound. And then move it into the Grid, the possibilities will overwhelm you for the rest of your life...
If it does not inspire you, of course that would not help...
The video only showed what I would call a bit boring creating effects baked into samples. The two guys even did not bother to trigger samples with an expressive controller. That means each trigger sounds exactly the same. If you get into modulation, each trigger could sound a bit different, and much more alive. All that of course is also possible in Live, even in ProTools you could do that (beware though you would look very professional and dumb at the same time...; - )
