The fact that you can modulate pretty much any parameter on any device, and create chains of behavior which reach across tracks/devices, like in a modular, is huge. (Arguably Live with Max devices, but the implementation is far from seamless there.) And certainly if you’re making electronic music, it’s the best option for the way electronic musicians structure music. Main reason: Bitwig is the only DAW that is a musical instrument in itself. So when I say I should have switched earlier, you can trust… because it’s been a long strange trip and i’m happy to have arrived at Bitwig! Would never use v11 live, too unstable/memory inefficient. It’s just become clunky, which is a surprise because Ableton was always the lean mean performance machine you could trust onstage. But, Ableton started losing the plot around v9 (i started Ableton on v1, and got a very close look at the whole history of that DAW). Have used everything from all-hardware/tape (before DAWs) to Logic, PT, Reason, Ableton, Cubase, Digital Performer (& Deck, anybody remember it?) For years i was composing in Ableton & mixing in Harrison Mixbus (which is great for mixing!). It took me quite a while to switch to Bitwig, but i’m not going back.
