Sudden loss of DAW envy

[_leras]

DAW hopping sucks anyway.

Synth hopping is even worse...

Never had the DAW or synth hopping issue.

I felt at home with Bitwig for the longest time. It has the strangest bug on MacOS that the developers acknowledge but refuse to fix for the f*ck I know reason. It bugs me that much that I also refuse to use it and sold my license.
I actually hate Logic. Can't wait for Cubase to change their copy protection so I can demo it without a dongle.
If all else fails, I'll use Renoise for everything... although not optimal.

What bug in Bitwig? Maybe instead of switching DAW you should have switched to Windows

If you don't like logic, cubase would probably be quite similar.

Fruity Loops?


that was just a joke...

Was doing a search for something and found this old thread, and thought I'd throw in my two cents.

Maybe I'm just starting to DAW hop. I'm actually (finally) getting around to doing a project I have been wanting to do, and I think I'm finding my current DAW unable to do some things I'd like to/need to do with the project. I don't know for certain that other DAWs can do these things either (though I think, with scripting, I might be able to). I just picked up Ableton 11 Intro (because I can't justify spending the $ for Standard right now) because I just picked up a Novation Launchpad Pro and wanted to understand what I can do with it within the Ableton environment. Once I have a grasp of that, I may be looking at creating/using custom layouts to use the Launchpad with a different DAW. But the aspect of trying out different DAWs is daunting to me. I don't do this stuff full time, it is a hobby, and it takes TIME to really mess around with a DAW to find out what it can and cannot do. I don't know that I have that much patience.

You need a certain level of OCD to do it. Live is not your average DAW, and it can be a tad difficult to adapt to. Depending on what you're used to. Which is most everything else. Took me three tries.

I've been happy with Reaper for the longest I've been happy with a DAW. No plan on changing. I bought Bitwig recently just to play with Polyphonic Modulation and CLAP plugins, as well as support some of the people behind CLAP, but I have no intention of actually making a switch to Bitwig. Studio One hardly ever gets opened except for beta testing or a few specialty tasks it does better than Reaper (tempo mapping live audio via Melodyne is much better in S1). Cuabuse, excuse me, Cubase, I'm done with.

I spent 13 years with Propellerheads Reason from v1.0 to 7.03. I still have it, but I just don't use it any more. I have Studio One 4.6 Pro, but I don't really create much music these days anyway. I chose Studio One because Propellerheads development of the program was just too slow and, I wanted something new. I didn't miss Reason at all, I just got on with creating music which at the end of the day, all that mattered. Bigger productions with a faster workflow was what I wanted and what I got.

This is what KVR has become......

Wow! I didn't realize that my thread, now long since deleted, was immortalized here!

It was not just a parody, but my passive/aggressive attempt to let people know what a shitshow the forum was becoming that week with the ridiculous number of garbage threads that were more clickbait than informative of thought-provoking. I think it lasted about 6 or 7 replies before the Magic Banhammer smashed it to oblivion. RIP, dear thread...

However, since, things seem much improved.
Oh, and break some legs! Y'all are superstars!

I started with Renoise and have had my eyes on Ableton ever since I became able to afford it. I haven't been in the position to DAW hop regardless of how envious I was and I became a big proponent of trackers instead (I still am, they're great!). I'm all about using the tools a box comes with rather than having a big pile of plugins to drag around.

[rod_zero]

Not really, one day I used Studio one for tracking a band and it had some nice stuff, but I am so familiar and at home in Live i wouldn't switch ever.

[pdxindy]

I could be happy with 4-5 different DAW's. They are all so capable these days.

I have no plan to switch away from Bitwig cause I am fast and comfortable with it. I also use Logic sometimes for a few tasks that Bitwig cannot do.

[sQeetz]

Since I got the Push 2 controller and Live I'm not touching Logic again. It's such a nice experience the hybrid DAW + controller thing.... Still have some projects to port from Logic to Live. It's a lot of work, but worth it, I guess....

[FAS122]

Started with FL, and after 2 other programs have finally landed on REAPER. Been with that for a while, and don't see much reason to switch.
