Hi guys..

I'm going to share my experience. I was a cubase user before i got reaper. First of all i download reaper because i wonder why ppls are talking about reaper a lot. so i try it, and it's a little bit different than cubase actually. but i believe it's not just from the workflow, routing, midi etc.. but also on the audio engine...

Here's the story, i use to mix a song from one of my client with cubase, and then i want to try to mix it with reaper. so i bounce all the data and moved them into reaper, and surprisingly the sound to my ears is totally different... then i keep moving on, mix the song in almost the same technique i use in cubase. then i render the result..

and then I compare the two result.
the result was, the mix from cubase sounds more muddy compares to the reaper's result. then i played them in car, and again the reapers results more solid in the low frequencies and translates better compare to cubase which is sounds unclear and uncontrolled in the low freq

so my question is, is it only me or anyone else ever having the same experience which is each daw is difference and they have their own kind of sound? because i've read a lot of comments which is said that daw sounds the same, it depends on the AD DA...
