Sorry to quote,but I feel there is a big difference of opinions as nothing has been 'proven' -at all = this is why these topics keep re-appearing.
I think it's a debatable topic because of the wide choice of algorithms used,and how each user system,operating platform,interfaces and internal daw engines actually process information.
Users must be aware that each time a recording is made,or,a file is opened or interacted with in any way-a change occurs.
Until the day everybody works on the same 'page'-there will always be differences.
Please,continue.
Show some data,because computers work with data-- whereas audio does not need to be digitatized.
These topics keep reappearing because people are stubborn and they let their mind trick them into hearing things that aren't there.
A song made in Reason sounds exactly the same on computer A as on computer B if it uses the same sample rate. Doesn't matter if it's Windows Vista, or 10, or MAC OS, or whatever. All that vague OS "logic" doesn't affect the audio in any way. In the end it's just the playing of a sample (in case of audio). The only thing that makes a difference in the actual sound might be an interface, but since the DAW engine precedes the interface, we can eliminate that from the equation, because it's not about that, it's about the internal DAW "engine".
Errm no computer a and b might have totally different sound via interface and dacs used etc its all the conversions and how well.it does them and os also do to some extent also can differ in how it deals with audio to .
Im sorry i totally dissagree on your figuring on your response to logismos post.there are just way to many variables to count out differences there im afraid.
Just to add it matters not if the daw engine is the same as no daw stops at the engine it then goes to the mixers and errm if all mixers worked and dounded the same between daws there wouldbt be need for different mixers at all as they all add something different which goes to proove my point i made from signal path of daw engine to anything beyond will give differenf results .
It's important to remember that you may be talking about two different things. Add a DAC or different sound card into the mix, no matter what OS or hardware, and you've moved the goal posts of the arguement.
But take 3 computers, A, B, and C - each with their own various sound cards, DAC, and different OS. Render the same project with the same settings on all 3 to stems or mixdown and play all 3 on the same computer. That resulting file will sound identical.
But if one of those computers have different DAC, soundcards, or one is hooked up to grade A studio monitors and the other is hooked up to Apple ear-buds, then of course it will affect your mix and resulting rendered files.
