Best Sounding DAW

[evon]

Ohh boy oh boy...I see where you are coming from. The topic is very simple "Best Sounding DAW".

I would believe that topic is soliciting opinions based on each persons subjective hearing.

You know the topic might just be a no-topic....because come to think of it...DAWs dont "sound"., Instruments do.
And to think I have led all you wise arses on and on, and getting some very intelctual retorts on a non-topic

There is a place for both - subjectivity is about perceiving that there may be something wrong. This may lead you on to devising some tests to objectively prove or disprove something is wrong.

Of course if you cant objectively prove that something is wrong, then that just means that there is nothing wrong within the scope of you tests rather than nothing is wrong at all. Maybe you are looking in the wrong place, maybe the test is invalid anyway, or just maybe there is nothing wrong at all

If you really think you hear something out of place, then a could starting point is to test what you actually hear - ie bouncing the output of your audio interface if you can, then working inwards.

i had started to point out the fact that DAWs don't actually make sound, they manage it, but in the face of such expert testimonial it seemed like a minor detail.

If you are asking which DAW sounds best in terms of which will produce the best sounding track - taking into account all the tools provided, the built in EQ, effects and instruments and time stretching algorithms, etc, then the answer will be different for everyone depending on personal taste and what they are trying to acheive. It's a bit like asking which is the best guitar or which is the best wheelbarrow. It is not possible to give any kind of reasonable answer because it depends on too many factors.

It's fair to point out obvious defects and strengths of each option, but who can say which is best when there is no consensus on what is meant by "best".

On the other hand if you think you can hear a difference that is not measurable then you are either insane or just a troll.

When people make statements like "Live sounds like bullshit when recording" I have to assume they fall into the second group.

if you guys were hearing what I was hearing you would change your argument.

You're an idiot.

And I guess you arrived at that conclusion by a scientific analysis. Well it seems to me you arrived at that subjectively, and maybe also by consensus.

So you seem to have your stuff all mixed up. You dont know what you are hearing so you analyze it scientifically and then you determine that I am idiot without showing how you arrived at that conclusion.

And my friend that leaves me to conclude that you are even a bigger idiot than I..my conclusions have determined that you are a fool.

No, it's a fairly simple mathematical equation:

The amount of statements you make that have some basis in reality divided by the total number of statements you make, multiplied by 100 to give a percentage...

It seems now things are beginning to sober up The paranoia has faded. Live is still fine.

You know I have a feeling that most of the people who replied on this post are non-Americans, they seemed offended by opposition. I myself am not an American, but I have always admired the Americans for their show of democrat ism.

There you go again, so what your ears perceive is not reality? What is reality? There is nothing objective about reality, I am sure. So once again making assumptions about reality has already skewed your maths.

There's nothing objective about reality? Really? If you believe that you're retarded, otherwise, just go away troll.

Frankly I'm sick of beating my head against a brick wall with this thread. I can only conclude that you're trolling, evon, so for that reason, I'm out. Fuck you.

is this brick wall on the master track and does it color the sound of your DAW?
