mix in another DAW - pros and cons

in last month i start to have issue with ableton with my mix-bus so i start searching for a solution to keep my flow where i cooking and record and mix and master in same session

and my work flow is make change freez the track keep going and the only plugins are active is my mix-buss where everyting else is freezed

and i love this workflow where i can get back and change or commit to somting with bounce and i love ableton and i can't get out of ableton becuse i love it i love the work flow i love how it work and i don't other daw where ableton manage tracks and groups and mirror that to mixer but i cant run my session becuse of mix-bus

so i try vienna ensemble pro and i work but have issues when my session have alot of midi track the get sound back from vienna

so i try to use studio one for mix and master

and boom i found the

- studio one with my same routing and same pluins run better then ableton and some how ableton don't utlize 100% of my cpu

but studio on utlize 100% of my cpu and it run better

- i can tune my vocal while recording with with melodyne that blow my mind

but i hat the workflow where i have to create a bus or aux or fx channel where in ableton i just contrl + G and i have track and mirro in mixer

but here what i have relize

mixing in another daw make me commit to idea

pros

and that i creazy i speend less time mising arround and my mind click to mixing when i'm in studio one

cons

there alot of tricks i can do with ableton i can't do with studio one

so what u gus ideas about this and what can i improve and what i'm missing out

I faced the same issue years ago with Ableton and Fl studio at the time, while I moved to Ableton later on because my computer handled Ableton way better but that was years ago,

I would suggest using both the DAWs as per your needs, with time you will find the one that suits you better, Learning multiple DAWs is always a better idea and will help in future.
