If you had to stick to one DAW, which one would it be?

You need to spend some “redemption” time with some Italians like me

We have a saying in Rome:

“Either you die healthy or you die happy!”

The only things that I don't like in Bitwig (and Live) are:
1. No mapping for 3rd part drums. So, if I want to use Addictive Drums and do my beats with it, I choose either S1 or Cubase.
2. Can't play midi patterns for drums. There are tons of midi patterns for advanced drumming and again only with S1 or Cubase I can play those midi and make Addictive Drums playing them, for example.

Can't you just setup the mapping once in Bitwig with all the midi devices that are available to you, save it as a chain and load it every time you want to use Addictive Drums?

To clarify, I mean this:

How do you do this in Bitwig? I can't rename what I see in the drumming view (which displays only the letters of the keys).

It's not widely used, but AD2 can convert GM (and other) drum files to AD format;

I mean midi files preview:

All I can hear in Bitwig/Live is a saw wave, but in Cubase/S1 I can preview the midi files (patterns) and choose what I want fast then drag and drop (and maybe edit later). The only way in Bitwig/Live is to drag and drop the files into session/clip launcher and play it which is not practical.
The problem with Bitwig is except of their own different 'things' from Live, but everything else is just copying from Ableton! So, if some features aren't there in Live, they are not bothered! This is why I keep Cubase/S1 handy because till now I'm not sure to commit to one DAW like Bitwig or Live!

Ok! I think I found a solution for the first problem! Drum Addictive 2 mapping:

[Unfortunately you don’t like the fact that Excel looks like Ableton
You should stop using Microsoft then

Definitely agree. 100% with you on this one.

Tbh, it is not that I dislike ableton, it is that I love bitwig too much.

Watch out! To love a hot date is great but a good wife will take care of you until the end.

Enjoy for now… why not!

Oh my.... didn't you say that you use 4-5 DAWs?
Don't be this guy.... commit to one, they have feelings too, they deserve respect

Well, my Bitwig is peaceful But I can't guarantee that if you don't commit to yours, it wouldn't punch you on the eyes! (Every Bitwig is different according to Simulation Theory )

ok, so it is a kind of open relationship you have with Ableton.
I am not judging. I am just not into that.

I friend of mine once told me what his wife said to him and it was quite funny:

She told him that if she finds out he cheated on her with someone more beautiful than her, she would forgive him but (!) if he cheated with someone ugly, she would mess him up quite badly

Ableton made the same deal with me

I know now why you know well bitwig.

Reaper? If it wasn’t for FL it would take the cake!

Bitwig… I still have 2 serials unused (was a good deal) so it still has a chance to share the house with the older brother…

We’ll see what v6.0 has to offer

[Jac459]

Ha ha, v6 is not for now....

Do you use Ableton Note by the way? Can you tweak the sounds or is it very limited?

I don’t use it. I saw some late videos and it looks like fun but I’m always eager to seat in front of Ableton and produce and still learning more techniques from some freaking gifted producers. For me it’s a pure joy and all the other DAWs I own don’t inspire me as much.
I’m lucky in that sense. It was an unusual DAW for me when I got it but once I committed to be my production canvas I got blessed with it and M4L incredible tools, lately being the Fors devices (all of them ): a sonic world of its own….

Here is Chiral, one of the devices.
