Mixbus is the best sounding DAW, for obvious reasons.

Rubbish thread... but it's going to fun to watch as a spectator.

It depends on your headphones.
Gaslighting...is a form of mental abuse in which information is twisted or spun, selectively omitted to favor the abuser, or false information is presented with the intent of making victims doubt their own memory, perception, and sanity.

Many says they all sound the same, but many says theres difference.
I can only say from my experiences that I can hear difference between FL Studio and Ableton.
Ableton has this clear, louder sound, bit harsh.
FL Studio has dark, bit ducked down muddy sound. (no limiter in the master channel, lol)
I think when people make tests such as "they all sound the same", they just put bd, clap and snare and render the test track. But the capability of DAW becomes more visible when you compose big projects, how the DAW handles different layers of sounds together, how it aligns the frequencies, what "gets through" and what "gets compromised" by the calculations, how openly it lets each and every instrument to sound through, etc..
I have clicked, fixed each and every option in FL studio, yet never got that exact sound I got from Ableton.
They all sound same? I cant say.

When I first migrated from Logic to StudioOne when S1 first came out, I couldn't believe the difference in sound. Early versions of S1 had this piercing cold tone while Logic was broadly warmer. S1 worked a lot on that and at some point in v2, it finally started losing the brittleness. After that, I never had any doubt that DAWs can flavor their output for whatever reason.
Even I was offended by what I was going to put here.

Nothing will ever surpass Babya Logic for it's sonic clarity. dexterity and depth.
Just make the music that you enjoy (failing that go for a walk, watch some porn, have a fight with a random bloke until something else happens).

When people say DAWs sound the same, we mean if you play the same audio track with no stock plugins in the signal chain. All DAWs sound different when you use stock plugins in the signal chain, because different algorithms etc. Both peoples are correct, just saying different things.

Guess they pretty much sound the same-ish.. But I can hear a difference between Reason and Bitwig. Or then I'm just crazier than my doctor said

At the end of Studio Time with JunkieXL, Tom compares the same sample in Kontakt/Cubase, and in the Cubase sampler; they sound different, probly their resynth algos.
