    EWI USB Problems - Playing Random Notes Between Octaves

    Ableton or Bitwig?

    Exactly, I thougt I was happy in Logic Land, until I started to really do a deep dive into what Bitwig can do. It just clicked for me, and is my main DAW. On the rare occasion I have to do any video scoring, I just hop back into Logic and do my thing.

    And if you're paying full price for a Bitwig update, than you're doing it wrong. You wait until it goes on sale and save yourself some money. And no one is ever forcing you to purchase an update. If you're happy with the feature set that Bitwig has in your current version, just wait until...

    Ableton or Bitwig?

    On the flip side of that, Waves charges you A LOT of money to update their plugins with very little added features, if at all over their product line. Bitwig will give you 2-3 updates a year with new features added. There a huge difference.
