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

    Performance is awesome in Cubase due to something called Asio Guard. It’s really clever, it’s basically a buffer that looks ahead and preprocesses stuff. So your CPU load goes down - a lot.

    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. It’s really stable for me, haven’t had any issues at all. Super smooth and stable.

    Bitwig is totally aimed at electronic music, while Cubase is a kind of all in one and often used in recording. I don’t make Psytrance, I used to produce old school boombap hiphop but I’m also a funk/metal guitarist recording for my band.

    You can only try it and see if you gel with it. Someone can tell you it’s awesome, but you just might not gel with it - just download a trial of Cubase 13 and test it out. All that said - Cubase is an excellent piece of software. It’s not an industry leader for nothing. No software is perfect, they all have some strengths and weaknesses, so you’ll just have to test it and see if it gels with you - but there’s no question it’s very, very good.

      Thanks

      I did download the trial just dont like the interface and thought to see if it worth the time to learn from perspective of someone who switching from bitwig purely for performance reasons

      Maybe ill do a small project to compare the both
