Any experiences with the various Ableton Link ready DAWs are helpful

Great thread. I was just looking into this yesterday. I tried it with Pro Tools and it was a bit finicky. Definitely not as smooth as ReWire used to be.

Cubase 12 doesn’t even have Link (facepalm)
Oh why oh why they had to discount rewire

EDIT: I didn’t read the thread title correctly. I’m on Mac. Sorry for interrupting

Link-ready Windows DAWs

- Ableton Live
- Bitwig Studio
- Reason
- Reaper (with Reablink)
- Pro Tools (since 2020.9)

I can only speak to linking two laptops with Ableton on them. When we tried it a couple of months a ago during a production session, it took quite a while to get the the Ableton's to recognize each other. They ran in sync, but global transport only worked sometimes.

Thanks for the replies. Bitwig is looking interesting as an alternative to Ableton

You do realize that Ableton Live is Ableton Link ready?

I thought this thread was just about Windows PCs?
