Just posted this in the Bitwig thread coincidentally enough. I guess the reality is that we have to focus on a few tools because there’s only so much time and bandwidth which means that there might be tools that we really love and think are excellent but just don’t fit or got pushed out by something else that hits the same spot.
Funny enough this doesn’t bother me as much with hardware because I feel like I rotate things in and out and use them situationally a lot more, so it’s not a big deal if a particular piece doesn’t get switched on for a few months.
