Again, I'm not exclusively looking at "adding two channels of audio together" - I'm talking about the results you obtain by making music in Ableton Live. They all use different tools, different algorithms to calculate the math for effects and whatnot, etc. I'm of the camp that of course the different DAWs sound different by themselves. I think often when people are asking about DAW sound quality, they are referring to the overall package, not just how 10 24/96 wavs on various channels come out of the master, absolutely everything else being equal. However, as soon as you start to consider third-party plug-ins it makes no difference which DAW you use. An important point to remember is that many for the plug-ins included with Live are optimised for live performance. Where things do get interesting is when you consider the variety and quality of the plug-ins that are included with a DAW.
This is the reason why, given the same input and processing the rendered output form different DAWS will be pretty much bit-for-bit identical. There is no subjectivity or opinion involved, it is either correct or its not.Īll the DAW manufacturers will have a suite of these automated tests that they will run regularly during development phases and again before any software is released. As you can see, there is very little scope to introduce errors and even less scope to improve the process in the search for a "better sounding" audio engine.īecause DSP comes down to simple mathematics, it is very easy to write automated tests to verify that the software performs exactly as it should. Processing digital audio and in particular, summing together two or more audio signals is actually a very straight forward process.
