    I'll go with this. reaper is very extensible like you said, but it almost infuriates me how much there can be changed and all of it is manual. there's less problems with performance and the only daw with powerful cpu utilization to the fullest, capable of using using real cores and efficient cores, but when you get in the daw, it's a steep and customizable learning curve from the start.
    The argument online is always "this daw can let you do everything" except I am not wanting to jump in a pick and choose paralysis. If I see a competent person on youtube make a decent beat with this daw in the way fl and ableton presents in a fun and good way, I'll start to see it differently. Customization is great, but the interfaces and everything else are time-killers.
    preset settings, custom icons, fx lists, extensions, but dawg, why on earth is there so much to navigate before then?
    I need customized menus for my context menus dude, that is such an inspiration killer.

      Reaper has such a great price point [60 bucks unless you make 20K out of it or something] that many people buy a second DAW that has good plugins.

    It always depends what you want to do. I do simple cinematic compositions and I tried Ableton and hated it, then moved to FL and kinda liked it but eventually switched to Studio One and really found my place there. It just does everything the way I want and the UI is really clean and doesn't give me a migraine.

    Absolutely based ProTools take, I disagree with logic, though. It’s got a good grip on both recording/mixing, and midi. You’re not gonna win with everything on every daw, and logic has a good grasp on all three, and if you’re working with orchestra instruments, you can use their scoring tool, and score everything with midi if you want to. It’s routing makes sense. But yeah fuck pro tools lol
    My biggest issue with logic is that it doesn’t snap back the play head to where you started recording, after you finish a take. By default it just moves forward, and is not intelligent. Which is really annoying.

    The reason pick is a huge L. The rack is sound design heaven. Also, pro tools hate from a person who can't even set up a pop filter or properly set gain on his mic makes perfect sense (;

    One with the green circle and white tent shape on the left is LMMS. A free open source quasi-DAW. It's more of a sequencer than a DAW.

      No. I have run Linux since 2019. I run Reaper and FL Studio under WINE. I run synths native to Linux [e.g Monique] and some under WINE such as serum. How much time does someone in Windows waste on an antivirus? [don't need one in Linux], or fighting against the advert and harassment cesspool Windows has become since the end of Windows 7?

    Bro, can you please encapsulate in a couple of words what's so special about Bitwig? I know I should probably go and do some research by myself, but I'm already bipolar enough between Ableton and FL studio. Shit im crazy as hell im literally inadequate

    • @aqualili
      @aqualili  8 місяців тому +1

      it's like ableton but it runs on linux and its more lightweight. not quite as quick and streamlined as fl or ableton (its the new kid on the block) but it's got some high points that ableton misses. you can tell that its' literally counter to ableton, trying to fix all that nagging shit people don't like about it.
      it's high points are that it is built like a modular synth, has great dsp and a sick ass modular synth. it also runs on linux.
      its lows are that the ui is really sluggish.
      bitwig is great. I wouldn't switch if you've already got a setup and dont want to switch to linux quite yet, but give it 5 years and its going to be the king on the block. all it needs is an effective windows vst bridge to linux and it'll be as good as gaming is on linux. :)

Check out what Savant (Alexander Vinter - Music Artist) and SeamlessR (UA-cam Tutorials and Music Artist) can do with FL Studio. Just gotta learn the tools - especially Harmor and Sytrus.

    Lol this must be a troll video. None of these are good for composition or live performance?? Almost every DAW you said was bad is great for composition and live performance 😂😂 I started with FL studios, moved to cubase and never looked back. Fl studios feels like a kids toy to me compared to Cubase, but to be fair.. i haven't touched it in years, so maybe it's improved with time.
