A project in FL Studio, for example, feels different than the same exact project data in REAPER. I'd expect the result of such test to be that all DAW sound the same, except perhaps those that intentionally add some coloration to the signal in their summing math.Īs for the psychological impact of different DAWs, I can definitely confirm that effect on myself. I too would be surprised if anyone could, in a proper double blind test, reliably tell apart audio clips mixed in different DAWs from same exact source files, at same exact settings including pan laws, with same exact plugins (thus leaving summing math as only variable being tested). I've recently been migrating projects from other DAWs to REAPER, and have noticed no discernable differences that can be attributed to REAPER's mixing math.Īs far as my theoretical understanding goes, with 32-bit and higher mixing, the differences (if any) between applications are far below noise floor of most monitoring equipment anyway. However, read the initial post again, please. You are obviously vry much a fan of Reaper. I am not claiming to know better, i am simply asking for personal ears.Īlso i am completely disagreing about the role of personal viewpoint here, because that's what makes humans/users move into this or that direction. You may be able to respect that as well, if you can. However i was asking about personal impression, not a "scientific" (data-based) study. My "hostility" in this stems from the subject always being brought up by someone who claims to know better, and never backs down, only disappearing from the forum when it's demonstrated that they've been wrong the whole time. This personal viewpoint is backed by evidence. Either Reaper's "engine" "sounds different" and it can be demonstrated, or it doesn't and cannot be demonstrated.Īs for my "personal viewpoint": there's no difference at all. "Impressions" and "personal opinions" are completely worthless in this regard. with water, and exchanging cooking methods in a friendly, same-level, respectful way is completely appreciated.

The sound, to me, isn't yet there.ĮDIT: All of the above is of course personal opinion/experience and I am asking for exactly that from you - so if you should feel tempted to shoulder-pad yourself about how much :you: know but nobody else and totally want to teach me.
SAMPLITUDE PRO X2 SUITE STOCK PLUGINS HOW TO
Thanks for sharing, and i wonder how to improve this audio engine, while the democratic concept of Reaper is world-leading. Has anyone else -> with experience on other DAW <- noticed Reaper sounding slightly cold, overly clear? Logic sounds very good, though a little mushy, and certain built-in plugs are unusable (the limiter is a medium-level catastrophe)

Pro Tools is almost plain neutral, high class.Ĭubase/Nuendo are a little warmer, fat on body, juicy sounding (almost like an EMU III sample compared to an AKAI sampler, for the ones who know),

Reaper sounds the coldest to me, there is a tendency, that it takes the body of sound away somehow. I've been - and still sometimes am - a long-time user of other DAW, like Cubase, Nuendo, Pro Tools and Logic Pro. However, the longer i use it i notice, that the sound of Reaper seems somehow overly transparent, slightly cold, or "glassy" to me, which is an effect i constantly seem to have to counteract. Using Reaper now since 3 years as mostly my main DAW.
