Pro Tools v REAPER Listening Test

Russ.... what's with that stupid time out nonsense?!!!! The timeout finished on the second question before the download even finished!!! :confused: Edit - I wasn't meaning for this response to sound like I was actually frustrated!!! It was tongue in cheek but that doesn't come across too well in type on teh internetz!! ;)

Heh. I got 1 out of 3. I got the last question right. Haha how in the world did I get #2 wrong? Doh! This quiz is a great idea!

So far only 7% can tell the difference.

0 out of 3 - Yieps! Since I was assigning what I felt was a punchier, brighter, more dynamic sound to ProTools I can only conclude the opposite is true!

By the time the end user strips the file down and puts it on an iPod with crappy buds the sound of the DAW engine isn't going to matter.

Haven't tried the test yet but curious if they null out?

Ahh, people.... Isnt marketing great? I mean, for years before I really got back into the game, the urban legend was that Pro Tools (now this is what Id heard) had some unique kinds of "algorithms" it used to process audio. Vastly superior to anything else on the market, naturally. Yes, this was the myth for years. Now, with null tests, you can easily see that both programs will p00p out the same 1's and 0's when the settings are the same. Ive completely been, for a long time, the kind of musician who has to make due with anything with a record button simply because Ive never been able to afford REAL cutting edge stuff. Thanks Reaper for giving me a program that for minimal $$, I can compete, get my art done, and do it with full confidence.

I failed with 33%. Here was my MO: I picked the one i liked best of the drum only mixes and said that was reaper... That was my one correct answer. then I tried to pick the reaper version of the following mixes based on... well it doesn't matter what it was based on... I got both wrong. I was surprised by the answer to number 2. .t

While I agree with Shan, this test won't null "fully" because of the mis-matched sample rates.
