I think the built in devices are great and better than Live in many cases. The grid is also just loads of fun. I used to code devices in Max for Live so I’m quite familiar with that, but I really prefer the grid for building out of the box things, even though it doesn’t have the coding part. It’s just nicer to work with. I’m a Launchpad user and Bitwig now works with that exactly as it does in Ableton, and without any third party scripts that Bitwig used to require.
Honestly, my main gripe with Bitwig may seem very superficial, but it’s the look of the interface. It just looks dated to me. I love the flat minimalist look of Ableton, and the ability to customize with themes. It looks like they’ve expanded upon this in Live 12. I know I’m OCD, but I need my DAW environment to look clean and awesome when I fire it up. It sets the mood for creating. I do think Bitwig will fix this in a future version, but they’re not there yet.
So I think I’m going to purchase Live 12 and keep my eye on Bitwig. If they fix the interface, it will be a buy for me.
with midtones/black level 5/0 it's like a candy store in cybercity
I like it (default track colors)
dunno how well it goes through, on a MacBook Pro it's quite vivid
I do agree that firing up a nice looking daw makes a difference
I wish you the same unless you like misery
