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

    I use bitwig and Cubase, Cubase has total flexibility and customisation abilities over workflow and efficiency related little things throughout the whole application that bitwig won’t be even close to match in the next ten years (actually judging by how their updates have actually looked over the last few years). Bitwig on the other hand has flexibility with all the things you already know; sound design and the overall modular environment. You won’t be able to modulate any parameter in Cubase with LFOs, envelopes or other triggers. But at least as of the most recent update Cubase now can route audio from track to track for recording (but not to audio “devices” as in bitwig - at all). Bitwigs downside for me is also that I can’t sit and work with that all day, there are just too many basic mixer features (or other) missing completely. You can’t even do simple things such as turning on and off inserts on a channel or edit several channel settings simultaneously. Cubase also is nicer to look at. And the lack of sort of “modern source and destination modularity” is solved with just using a plugin like Infiltrator for example, imho.
