Hi

Into music production 1 and half year

Know bitwig, ableton an fl

Using bitwig almost a year already and it was by far most stable and flexible daw i used.

Recently it lags for some reason and im looking into cubase (also some little but annoying features in bitwig that devs dont fix)

Anyone who used both and can tell how its performance and features in compression to bitwig?

Mainly for psytrance

    What had my com at 65-75% CPU in FL Studio barely registers a blip of CPU in Cubase 13 - it’s a huge difference.

    That’s definitely an exaggeration, and absolutely not my experience and I’ve been using Cubase (and other DAWs) for years. The difference is not big, and Cubase is not the only DAW that has look-ahead or PreGen (Digital Performer PreGen, Samplitude Pro X’s Hybrid Engine, etc.).

    Also, I think CPU use has a lot more to do with the Plug-ins, Samplers, Virtual Instruments, etc. you are using in your session than what DAW you are using.

    If you have a session full of Ozone and RX, then your CPU usage and latency are going to be sky high and switching to Cubase or DP or Samplitude Pro X or a whatever DAW will not alleviate that issue.

    There is no universe where 65-75% CPU use in FL Studio becomes “barely a blip” simply by recreating the same project with the same MIDI, Samples, and plug-in/virtual instrument/sampler instances in Cubase.

    This is simply not a thing. It’s not true. I can barely even call this an exaggeration. It’s literal pipe dream. A fantasy.

      No, it’s not. I don’t know about other daws - but I literally did the same mix with the same plugins when I tried out cubase, and it all went to the buffer and barely touched the CPU while FL was floating around 65-75% - NOT an exaggeration at all. I can only compare what I know. FL def does not have that tech, and it’s def no way near as efficient.

        Yes. It’s an exaggeration. This does not happen. I won’t say anything beyond that, as arguing about this is a waste of time.

        You act as if I don’t have multiple DAWs installed on my computer and cannot simply … check it myself.

        FL Studio does not have 60% less CPU usage running the same plug-ins with the same virtual instruments, audio tracks, etc. as Cubase.

        To even pretend to believe that is serious next-level gaslighting hilarity.
