Do Different DAWs Sound Different? The Truth Revealed
Which DAW Should You Use? The Truth Behind the Interface
In the eternal question of digital audio workstations (DAWs), Chris & Jody dive into the debate every producer, engineer, and home studio wizard has faced: Does it really matter which DAW you use?
Spoiler alert: it’s less about the name on the software and more about how you interact with it.
This episode explores the essential elements of a recording setup—from how your workflow responds to different GUIs and platform preferences, to whether there’s actually a sonic difference between DAWs (yes, we’re going there). Chris & Jody unpack how to choose a DAW that matches your goals—not your friend’s, not your bandmate’s, not some guy on Reddit.
Expect insight, nuance, and yes, a dash of the usual nonsense. Whether you’re Team Logic, Pro Tools loyalist, Studio One convert, or Reaper renegade—this one’s for you.
Plus: Friday Finds and gear tips to sharpen your setup.
