![]() These guys are techno royalty, and they intentionally designed Ableton for live techno performance. r/Ableton, /r/Logic_Studio, /r/Bitwig) because people are always always always going to biased towards the software the community is focused onĪ really critical thing to know is that Ableton was founded by Robert Henke and Gerhard Behles, the members of a legendary techno duo called Monolake, which released on Basic Channel's even more legendary record label, Chain Reaction. P.S, I'm asking this here as I'd like applied answers specific to techno and electronic music at large, I always think it's counter-productive when people ask these questions of the DAW-specific sub (i.e. But is it worth making the switch in the long run? Trying to learn any new DAW different from the one you know is always a PITA. And the reasons for what make it so well suited are what I'm trying to grasp. It is still a fact that most producers, and as I understand, most of you here do use Ableton. Would I be selling myself short by switching to Bitwig instead or would I actually be better off sucking it up and learning Ableton first hand?įinal thought: Yes, I know all DAWs can do the same thing, they can all make great music, it's all about how you use them and what you're comfortable with yada yada yada. Would learning Bitwig offer me any measurable or real-world benefits for techno production specifically, and is it worth trying to make that switch if I already know Logic so well?ĭoes Bitwig really compete with Ableton, I understand they are very similar but Ableton still reigns king and most hotshot or cool kid producers use it. What outright makes Ableton 'best' for electronic music over and above Logic?

But more recently I feel like I've achieved some of my best work in Logic. There have been many times wherer I got really frustrated with not being able to make anything that cuts the mustard in terms of dance music and wanted to give up and try and learn Ableton, but the learning curve (having to learn a new software from scratch) always prevented me. I've been producing with Logic for 8 years now, I know it inside out. I don't know if everyone uses it because everyone uses it but it seems like a self-fulfilling prophecy in many respects. I've heard it time and time again that it's good for electronic music but I don't know exactly 'why' beyond the fact that it's meant to be good. ![]() Please use flair if you would like to share your pages.
