It’s also a button on the Push (Sample, trim, quantize…all of a sudden my modular is in time. I believe Live’s audio sample quantization / stretch algo’s sound better than Bitwig. I decided I wanted sampling (of old records, of my modular, of my cat) to be my main medium (until the next crisis), plus I wanted to play more notes (see my entry in the 2019 goals thread) and the tightly coupled Push / Live combo was going to fit that model better for me.

Then I went through my yearly “everything is broken in my workflow” crisis and came out the other side with a Live Suite license and a Push 2.

Its arrangement view isn’t an add on, it’s really full featured. Bitwig works great in that “tape recorder” model.
#Bitwig studio quantize software
That worked mostly ok, except for a fiddly experience getting the software to track pitch via ES-8 -> VCO. I came back to Bitwig (by upgrading my license to 2.x) to build a hybrid modular system via Bitwig and ES-8. I stepped away from it for a year or so, switching to a portastudio 4-track and Audacity when I needed to move tape to digital. I never got along with the Bitwig clip launcher view. I had used Ableton intro before that, but not extensively so I was coming in fresh. I’ve been a Bitwig user since its initial release. I sat out 18 months of updates but can simply jump back in when V3 comes out for a reasonable price, unlike Ableton who charge $300 per major update. V3 does look very cool though and I’m a fan of their pricing model. There are a few other strange inconsistencies that don’t make sense but they’re hard to describe.Īlas, I recently moved back to Ableton but I I’ll be back if they fix some of these problems as they ultimately kill the flow of the software. Bitwig adds auto-fades at the Audio Event level but not at the Arranger Clip level so you spend way too much time re-adding fades on clips that have been split in the main timeline. Finally, trimming audio / events in the arranger view suffers from the same problem. Additionally, live triggering different clips midway through their playback will also result in a click. Sure you can make you’re own but who has time for thatīut the worst thing is the audio engine suffers from a huge amount of audio clicks and zero-crossing pops.īitwig has a clip mode like Ableton Live but it’s useless for live recording > playback as it glitches at the moment it jumps from recording to playback. You pretty much have to build everything to get the functionality that you would expect. This is great for flexibility but not so great when-for example-you simply want to key track a filter. Also the bare bones instruments require you to build in functionality. The UI is just so sluggish on a Mac, it’s painful.
Compared to Ableton it just worked no matter what I through at it… almost. I was thoroughly impressed (and still am) at the modulators, the midi timing and the arranger - splitting entire groups is great for large compositional re-arranging. I switched over to Bitwig back when v2 came out.
