Using Ableton Live 10 and Bitwig Studio 3 together ... for a Live veteran & Bitwig noob.

[Daags]

I am an Ableton Live veteran, using the latest build, who has recently picked up a Bitwig Studio 3 license - almost entirely because of 'the grid'.

I have no intention of 'abandoning' Ableton Live. It is still my intention for Live to be the core of my music making & sonic activities.

So, I would be keen to here some tips & tricks regarding sound design (and only sound design) in Bitwig Studio 3 and also tips & tricks regarding workflow as far as taking sound designs from Bitwig Studio 3 back into Live 10 and generally using them together in an optimal way.

using windows 10, btw.

...and leave Live. There's no point in using both

There's no point in using both

For owners of Push 2 there is indeed no reason to use anything else than Live. Bitwig will never have such deep integration with Push 2 as with Live.

For me, Bitwig is fun to play with, but that's all. It would be great to have a VST version of Bitwig, so I could load it in Live or Cubase

Well, I actually own Push2 and haven't opened Live in over a year. I guess it depends on what you want from Push2 - if device visualisations and/or Simpler audio slicing are crucial for you, then sure. But otherwise 90% of the workflow - playing, sequencing, automating, tweaking devices, etc. - is already there in Bitwig's script.

Also, I was sort of joking. I'm not anymore trying to convince people to Bitwig or any other DAW. Owning 5 I know each one has specific strengths and the choice is very individual.

Excellent, thanks very much.


re: leaving live ... I've been using it for over 16 years. I know it backwards, have tonnes of projects in Live format and even if Bitwig would replicate and improve on the Live workflow that I am accustomed to, I am also heavily invested in MAXmsp / M4L. At any rate, any subjectively compelling reasons to make Bitwig my primary DAW will become self-evident, if they exist, while I'm using it as a purely sound-design utility.
