Tools do have an influence but it is up to the musician, to evaluate and master that influence in relation to his/her musical vision. And of course: if your musical vision is music with complex polyrythmic structure then a DAW that is optimized to do the olde 4onthefloor will be harder to use to get there. Anyway, I think you refer to the tendency of some hobbyists to actually *follow* lines that software draws by optimization for certain styles, sounds, structures etc. Some people love it, to use templates and resets and since some of those presets and templates are actually excellent, many releases sound similar. This is stupid but not the fault of the software. It is entirely up to those musicians. The only exception would be software, that is so primitive, that it excluselively allows to switch some presets. Regarding Bitwig and its built-ins, that is not the case. They ship some presets but you can alter them to make the plugins sound the same as freaked out as any obscure DIY-hardware or PD-patch would offer. When I talked to the devs at Bitwig I had the very strong impression, that one of their goals is to provide a system with infinite possibilities. Especially the concept for automation is so advanced, that it seems quite hard to handle for my tastes, when you really use all opportunities it has to offer. And the plugin-section is built for modularity, this does not work to the full yet but once it has matured it is actually a complete modular synth in the style of AMS. best regards HZN > > > On Thu, Feb 6, 2014 at 12:46 AM, Hartmut Noack > <zettberlin@xxxxxxxxxxx>wrote: > >> Sorry for getting into this so late....
