I also believe that a nice, polished interface goes a looooong way in determining our satisfaction with the DAWs sound! Yes, I'll be the first one to admit it's purely psychological thing and quite irrational, but that's how I feel. I left Reason because somehow I found the sound shrill - but I can't honestly say I have proof. The funny thing is I agree with those like tim, who feel that some DAWs sound better than others. Not sure why that's so frowned upon, and it always comes back to "null tests"?Įverything we do with audio involves using our ears to make decisions, millions of decisions from start to finish of every project.but now when it comes to comparing sound quality from two DAWs.that shouldn't be done with our ears? It proves nothing for how one DAW performs all the normal, daily tasks that we do with DAWs, which certainly can affect/change the final sound in many, many ways, and at that point, since you can't just do a simple null test once two DAWs have applied all kinds of other processes besides pure import/export.the only thing left IS to use your ears. I read Tim's comment as purely disagreeing with that (like myself and others have done).and the ref to GS is that the "null test" topic has been done to death over there, but the reality is.a null test only proves two DAWs import/export identically. He is saying that null tests DO determine if all DAWs are identical, and therfore no one better than another. Mmmmm.not looking to go off on some tanget.but reading samscasa's post again.he's saying there IS a way to determine things, and not how you're reading it above (see highlight in your post). Is blue a better color than yellow? When it comes to a DAW, is the best one the one that keeps the sound closest to the original or the one that colors and affects it the most and in which way? You can't even determine what "sounds better" really means. There is no objective, unbiased way of determining what DAW sounds best (or even better). to be honest, the poster you so easily dismiss has a valid point. The more than obvious disrespect for other musicians and technicians is also sad sideeffect. Especially for a company representative this does not make for any good impression. But I find his more and more upcoming practice of promoting one thing by putting another thing down quite questionable.
I respect him as a valuable member of this forum like everyone else. Personally I´m not too keen on the way Tim brings certain things across either. including our generous Kraznet, a man who has done more for Samplitude and its users than anyone on this forum.
this thread should be on gear slutz any way not taking up room on the Samplitude forum.Why are you so dismissive of Gearslutz? There is a lot of very knowledgeable, respectable and professional posters there. Really? I don't even know why I am on this forum anymore. They are not very different from us, after all.lol. You don't realize it, but you are arguing your point in pretty much the same way that your despised fellow Gearslutz posters do.

Unless you do not believe in the science of a null test.then there is a complete new discussion to have. It is an old topic beaten to death on many forums. Since Reaper and Samplitude null, when a proper null test is done, I would say anyone hearing a difference is falling prey to the mystery of our hearing.
