All DAW manufacturers go to great lengthts to prevent distortion in handling and processing a signal, and all DAWS can maintain distortion at vanishingly low levels. Yzf125, what you believe that you are hearing cannot be true. Please stick with beating the poor old dead horse, not each other at some point, will you? :) "Use what gives you the best results" is the usual conclusion/summary of these threads.
CUBASE 10 PRO VS REAPER SOUND FORGE SOFTWARE
This has been tested and proven over and over, forth and back, diagonal and then sideways again.īut a DAW is more than a mixing engine, and speed, workflow, knowledge of the software at hand, your eyes and then some factors can lead to different results at the end. Whatever your perception is, it's very prone to be acquired the wrong way, and it may be happening on the psychological side of "psychoacoustics", which may involve your eyes. So with each recurrence of a thread like this, the information value tends to decrease.īottom line is, if you manage to make 2 DAWs sound different, you're not really having the "same settings" (which is pretty hard since a deep knowledge of settings and properties of both DAWs is essential for that) so there a way more ways to compare apples to onions than apples to apples, or they employ (and usually advertize) "coloring" algorithms. This search may not include many even older, but most informative threads on the issue, as per usual the oldest threads contain the most substantial information given by people who really know something about that business, real-life tests and other valuable statements that were not reiterated in later discussions (because those knowledgeable people are tending to not repeat the same information like a broken record). Here's a collection of previous threads on the topic, containing all the important arguments for and against why DAWs do not sound differently. Wow, time flies, is it that time of the year again? :) I do understand Naji's passion for what he thinks is a better/worse thing, but math is math. But what they WON'T say (IF they are honest again) is that their DAW has a better "audio engine" than nay other DAW.Īnd for the record, Harrison MixBuss shouldn't be pat of this topic because at completely default state and with pan laws and levels matched with another DAW, MixBus is basically running fx at all times under the hood (built-in console emulation, tape saturation, compressors/limiters), so not even the same scenario. If you can achieve this, things are going to be the same since all DAWs work the same math.Īsk any DAW developer, and IF they answer honestly, they will tell you that the real "secrets" in their DAW are the native plugins, the work-flow, certain features, etc. The of course make sure that they are both playing at the same output level. You can get close with pan laws, gain structure if you are dealing with multi-tracks and not a single stereo file,and the lack of plugins.
One of the problems in these types of threads is that it is often nearly impossible to set up 2 different DAW softwares exactly the same. Yzf125 says there is a big difference betw Reaper and Cubase, so. And we tend to "think" louder sounds better. That - of course - is going to effect loudness. It's very likely that your track faders (and master fader) are set to different levels when you opened the project in Reaper. Until you run a filter (plug-in) or select a tool to edit them, the base file is identical. Both are just displaying the exact same pixel values. What you're essentially saying is this: I just opened a JPG image inside Photoshop and Painter X. I'm sure Cubase doesn't - or any other DAW worth using. NO DAW will cause any equalization/compression by default.
It just plays the digital file exactly as it reads it - similar to the way any MP3 player or media player would do. If you just opened the same WAV/recorded tracks into Reaper, then what both DAWs are doing is playing the raw & uncompressed audio. If you had effects/plug-ins from Cubase inserted on tracks, then yes, it's going to sound different.
