I have both Live and Bitwig - the one thing I dislike about Live is the 2 window support is weak and the modulators aren't as good (lfos are kind of useless).I tried Ableton Live Lite for no particular reason again last week after using Bitwig for a couple of years and I found the workflow so much more intuitive that I bough Live Suite pretty much straight away. Everything is just there in front of you in folders (like every application ever uses) with no hoops to jump through creating collections, tagging etc. (though you can - the new auto-tagging is cool).The old browser back. The grid is easier to use than the browser.
I'm paid up for Bitwig updates until mid-2026 so I'll check back in at some point to see if anything has changed but for me they need to put down the shiny toys for a while and catch up on the basic workflow stuff before I can jump back in full time. Oh, and themes please - people will still know it's Bitwig even if there isn't orange everywhere.
Automation workflow etc. are streets ahead in Live but I stuck with Bitwig...
