One thing to note with Bitwig (and I use it all the time and love it) is that it doesn't currently support Audio Units. There is no word as to when this might change - having said that they also said they wouldn't be making Bitwig on ARM and here we are with it being M1 native.
As far as Mac software goes, most of the DAWs and plugins have trials and demos you can try out first so it's worth downloading a few and seeing what clicks before deciding on one. I think the Mac / iPad combo is a powerful one and they integrate well together.
I am very interested to see how the iPad M1 works out. I am still feeling undecided about whether I need to go that way or just stay with my laptop and current iPad combo.
I agree with try before buy because I did the exact opposite and tossed money out the window and the same thing happens when I gamble. I currently have Ableton, Reason, FL Studio, Logic and Studio One which hasn't gotten love in years because I'm not tracking live bands anymore and a couple more that won't be named. To be honest when I start tracking bands again it will probably be in Logic. The DAWS that get the most love are Logic, Reason and Live because one of them will do what I want it to for the genre I'm composing. All the others were just cheap impulse buys and I'm talking about you MixBus.
That is really a pity. I had some hopes that Bitwig could come to the iPad as they went Apple Silicon native and had already made their UI touch capable. But then @NeonSilicon dug into their installed files and found a strange mixture of native code and Java (including a Java runtime) under the hood. That would be very hard if not impossible to bring to the iPad. But if they would add AU hosting it would be awesome.
Yep, I got excited about Mixbus a few years back. I think more so because I was doing audio in Linux at the time. Unfortunately, to me, I've never had it sound all that impressive. Always seems to sound a little hard or something. Maybe it's just the way I've used the compression and tape saturation, but I don't have the patience to sort that out and there are plenty of DAWs out there. I like the workflow of Bitwig and I have become more engaged with Logic as well. I've tried to stay away from platform specific audio programs, but Logic is a compelling argument when you've got a Mac even just for specific tasks like vocal editing, tuning etc. I tried Studio One for a bit and it is a good choice on PC, but I have found it to be a little unstable in Mac world so I don't touch it much anymore and I really like my IDAM. Reaper is decent if you have your own instruments. It's editing is easy and it is very powerful for so many things.
