Remember, we’re trying to be as objective as possible this time.In this blog I will break down my process of vocal Mixing in FL Studio using stock plugins. We also decided to run each EQ in a flat state to avoid introducing any colour or bias into the results. We also used a stock EQ plugin from each DAW: Ableton Live’s EQ Eight, FL Studio’s Fruity Parametric EQ 2, and Logic’s Channel EQ. We employed FabFilter Pro-Q 2 and Waves F6. This time we’ll be utilizing EQ plugins rather than compression. Let’s get our white lab coats out of the closet, fire up the Bunsen burners, and head back into the lab for round two of our tests.
We read them all and have taken on some of the ideas for our second round of tests. Readers helpfully made a number of suggestions on how we could improve our experiment. While there was a visual aspect to it, the subjective listening portion may have been a little too open-ended. We wanted to hear how the sound would be affected in a real world-type test. Perhaps it was the subjective nature of the experiment. Despite the conclusion, it seems that a number of you still feel that DAWs can sound different. The article generated a lot of discussions online, which we followed closely. What we found was that despite a few, small differences here and there, the overall result was that there is no real difference. We loaded the same samples into three popular DAWs-Ableton Live, FL Studio Pro, and Logic Pro X-and compared the sound when run through a number of different compressors, both third party and native.
Do DAWs indeed have their own, unique sound? Would the same song sound different depending on the DAW used? In part one of this series, we hoped to answer these questions. In part two of our series, we continue to examine whether there are discernible differences in the sound of three popular DAWs, Ableton Live, FL Studio 20, and Logic Pro X.
