Has that gap been narrowed too between the AS native versions of each? Yes, very much so. Anyway it's a hassle to sell DAWs, hardly worth it if you've done any work in them IMO, so here I am.Īpart performance test results I’m also curious about responsiveness (aren’t you glad I didn’t say snappiness? ) Logic has always been more responsive than DP by a wide margin. IMO they compliment each other well, just wish DP could use the Push 2 here. In the mean time Live and DP both upgraded and got MPE support, so I'm back in that saddle again. R*****r I've always had a copy of so I spent a year deciding I almost like it. Logic didn't have a clips window at the time so I started messing around with Bitwig, and found a copy used for cheap. So I worked Mike H's deal he talks about where if you're a student of any kind Apple will cut you a $199 deal on a FCP and Logic bundle, and I happened to be taking guitar lessons for soloing etc.

I got all excited about MPE support, and at the time Live 10 and DP9 did not support it. So I feel like I have to explain myself here. You’re likely only one around here with an M1 Mac, Diva, and all these DAWs. Thanks for posting the link, but of course it could be awhile before anyone is able to corroborate these results, Michael. ( apologies to James for posting the DAW That Cannot Be Named™ by using only it's first and last letters here, but the results are unique and I don't feel it serves as advertisement for it, since it's this time around anyway it's being beaten so badly by DP11! )

Side note, Logic being the only DAW that turns off 'Efficiency Core' support, you can see the percentage gain with them on being around 25% per core, so basically these earlier 8 core M1's are essentially 5 core machines, with the new 10 core Max and Pro being 8.5 core machines, which all fits into the x1.7 gain the new chips give.Īnyway, bragging rights for MOTU right now. plays very nicely with Apples new M1 chips. I have no idea how DP11 is beating Logic and R*****r with track count, R*****r having it's super slim code, and Logic having 'home field advantage' with the new chips, but somehow MOTU's NextGen PreGen™ as they somewhat cheekily call their audio buffering on unarmed tracks etc. It's crazy how similar they all are when that's the case, and how much more CPU efficient DP11 is than all of them, with roughly twice as many tracks. whereas DP11 only drops to that level when put into it's version of Bitwig and Lives smoother real time operation with 'Live Performance Mode'. R*****r usually has a one or two plug in advantage over DP11, not right now. Pretty crazy, I don't know what's going on with Logic and R*****r here? Normally Logic, R*****r and DP on Intel anyway are in the ballpark of each other with beating Live and Bitwig, which fair enough do not do any sort of buffering of unarmed tracks, but in this case Logic looks no better than the 'uninterrupted audio engine' DAWs.

Quick breakdown, stress test for software instrument use in the M1 MacBook Air using Diva initial patch, simple 120bpm 8th note 4 bar run followed by a two bar pause and three note chord, 6 bars in total.

The DAWs I own that have native M1 versions with the native M1 version of Diva in AU format. OK all of this is subject to change, especially the results I'm getting for Logic and R*****r.
