Assisting a Pro Tools mix job for neo-classical cello music at Berlin's Calyx Mastering.
Steep learning curve, discovering great features, and some completely obnoxious constraints of proprietary commercial DAW software. However, on macos and Windows audio engines of proprietary software outperform even sthg. only half commercial such as Reaper. Can't say anything about Linux-based audio, though. As much as i wish otherwise PT, Cubase, Nuendo (WaveLab) and Logic deliver depth, width, exactness and overall body of sound much more naturally, than even Reaper, which overall sounds glassy, slightly thin, a little flat.
Ableton and BitWig don't get there, sounding generally foggy, smearing transients.
As a musician i prefer to pay for sound, if that's the current option, rather than going for a cheap compromise or sthg. under-developed.
Checked on modified Genelec 1038a and Genelec 8030, all eq'd to room acoustics.
Although within those high end realms the gains seem minimal today - compared to audio engines 10 or 15 years ago - there is still a very noticeable lead of the 4/5 DAW mentioned above.
If anyone should do actual direct comparisons of Linux-based DAW with commercial DAW (mostly macos/Windows) I'd be HIGHLY interested in exchanging experience.
Thanx!
