for every guy saying "my DAW sounds best" there's another guy saying it sounds worse and another guy saying it sounds the same. There is a lack of consensus. Not only on what sounds "best" but even on what the difference IS.
When things really sound different, people agree on the differences. You may love a Strat and your buddy likes the Les Paul, but regardless of your preferences, both of you can agree on descriptions of what each one sounds like.
This agreement is totally lacking in all discussions of DAW sounds that I have seen. |
I agree that there is no formal consensus that Samplitude sounds better. But I decided to try it because I noticed there were a lot more people who had experience with other DAWs and were impressed by Samplitude's sound quality when they switched.
Only Sonar comes close in user endorsement of sound quality in my admittedly informal census. Honestly, I just don't see a lot of people talking about how great Logic or DP or Cubase sound whereas that is usually cited by Samplitude users as a MAJOR reason for why they like the program.
Also, I'm not sure most people ever compare DAWs. Most of my musician friends have stayed with the one they started with and have never tried any other. We might have more agreement if more people actually compared the major DAWs
