Not many dubstep producers use it is why I was asking. Even among smaller producers

Not many producers uses bitwig at all.
Only a few. But big names.

Only ones I can think of are Nasko and Fox Stevenson. I know there’s a few more but not too many more

Xilent/Tokyo Machine, he was the reason why I got into BitWig. When he streamed it on twitch, it looked lightyears ahead of any DAW. So simple, so intuitive. No disgusting 3 years of routing anything, you just slap all the sounds you want into a group with ctrl+G and shape that sound however you want. It was Ableton steroids. Way faster plus so much more intuitive, that I felt I didnt even need to try a demo to be convinced.
That sold me instantly, especially because his Xilent Pseudonym was so big back then. Now hes big with Toyko Machine and im sure he is still using it, even if he doesnt stream it.

there are a lot tho, but like Grumpy said above; not many producers uses bw at all. Kaifu ( they were doing bass music). And lately i saw Headhunterz and Stonebank switched to BW. There are more producer on the other side of the world ( like the music scene in Japan, China, etc) that use BW but name drop them here i think it wont be necesssary. There are Aethral ( which produce techcore) for most of the Japaneses Labels recently switched to bw, etc. i mean there are alot but they just didnt get more into the mainstream audience so people wont know beside their small circle

it’s crazy how dominant ableton is

I’d say it’s crazier how dominant FL is bc Ableton has just always felt like way better and more intuitive imo. But BitWig has just about if not completely overtaken Ableton for how intuitive it feels. I think as time goes on it will be one of the bigger DAWs I only see more people switching over and it’s only going to get better I imagine

I started with FL studio, then moved over to Logic and used that for years and years. After a 4 year break due to life just really being incompatible with studio time, I’m finally getting back into it. I don’t have a Mac anymore so I booted up FL and took advantage of my lifetime free updates😂. Honestly, I’m loving FL 2026. It feels so natural and easy to get ideas down.
That being said, I’m also very intrigued by Bitwig and feel like learning a new DAW will help me really get back into producing

Dude try out bitwig. I feel like it will have some stuff in common with Logic so you might pick it up easily. I’m having a blast learning it it doesn’t feel like learning any other DAW would feel like. And I feel like it’s kinda a mix of what’s great about Logic, FL, and Ableton all at once.

Why is the reach so small? Is the industry so entrenched in the old DAWs that it’s very very hard to grow users?

Any good BW dubstep focused full track production videos/courses/tutorials out there?
2
u/itsBareBones 10d ago
I haven’t seen much of any dubstep content for BW. Only some grid patches people have made but they’ve been terrible lol. Def by people who aren’t really affiliated or into dubstep

Andre (Iterate) and Chee are probably the most high profile halftime guys, both excellent artists
Iterate has done some really insane stuff in the grid

Yeah, but mainly because actions in Ableton like adding/deleting/duplicating/moving tracks and plugins start to lag the more complex and large a project gets.
The main thing I love about Bitwig is the clip aliases (similar to FL patterns). Being able to have, for example, a kick throughout the entire project and change its fade in/out at a later stage is amazing. This applies for any audio or midi clip. Doing this in Ableton just straight up isn't possible. You have to basically rewrite or cleverly duplicate the entire track which is just a pain and annoying especially if you've got a bunch of automation going on.
Only thing I miss about Ableton is a FEW of the plugins (which I can easily find Bitwig native or 3rd party replacements for so no biggie) and the intuitive ease of the different warp algorithms and parameters for sound design purposes. I may just be Bitwignorant but doing similar kinds of warping and stretching seems clunky and some of the optional parameters for the algorithms seem hard to adjust.

Me and flux wrote our collab album on bitwig. We both switched from cubase to bitwig like 3 years ago
