  • You’re welcome. I hope it works well for your purposes!

    One other thing to consider is that Bitwig has 3 tiers, you can upgrade between them, and they have significant sales occasionally, like in the Summer. I think the 3 tiers were going for $79 ($20 off), $149 ($50 off), and $299 ($100 off) in the sale, from what I recall, and also significant education discounts if you’re a student. Finally, there are legitimate places online to buy used licenses of DAWs.

    I third bitwig, especially for an Ableton user. It was developed by former Ableton developers and is supposed to be similar to it. It’s available as an official flatpak, and it has a 30 day(?) free trial. Some people seem to even like Bitwig better than Ableton. I’ve been seeing a bunch of videos on YouTube about people moving from Ableton to Bitwig after trying it out.

    From what I understand, aside from whether the DAW you like will work you also need to check whether the VST plugins you like will work.

    Much later edit: I forgot to mention https://www.zrythm.org/, which is an open source DAW which is supposed to be fairly similar to Bitwig.
