Apologies for the late reply, I was busy kicking off the New Year :D. HNY by the way
There were a few reasons to go Bitwig.
I ran Live on my main DAW and a laptop. When I needed to add a third machine for DMX lighting control, I would have exceeded the max computer count for a single license. While I had 5 or 6 Lite licenses lying around, those would not solve the issue, as the number of scenes was severely limited. So I had to fork out money anyway and Bitwig was the new kid on the block, so why not give it a try.
Long story short: The Bitwig devs are ex-Ableton, so many things were easy to understand and adapt. At this point Bitwig became an alternative and then I discovered a few more things:
- Eurorack integration: Easy as pie and feels much more native. Granted, Ableton then delivered CV tools by now, but Bitwig is just a few steps ahead.
- The Grid: Basically a modular system within Bitwig. Perfect match with everything Eurorack.
- Modulators: The ability to attach modulators to Bitwig things and plugins
And that´s when I decided to go Bitwig with the new machine, gradually switching over on the other two as well.
