    trap = FL
    edm = ableton
    pop = logic / cubase
    boom bap = mpc / maschine software
    jungle/dnb = renoise
    known producer that's been around for 20+ years = pro tools
    dude that makes beats that sound dated af = reason
    edm by a dude who thinks he's smarter than he is = bitwig
    dude who makes eminem/nf type beats = studio one

    Feel like you were able to tell in the early-mid 2010s but after that to currently I highly doubt it. Especially since there's nothing stopping producers from pirating whatever plugins and presets they want from one DAW onto another.

    No but the vst yes

    Daw are all pretty much the same nowadays for the most part

    TECHNICALLY you cant. like you can ostensibly get any DAW to sound like any other daw (garageband is maybe a bit limited but Ableton/Logic/Reason/FL aren't)

    but imo FL just has a knock and texture to it. I think the built in compressors and soft clippers make s*** sound really good without much work. The hi hat rolls also have a rigidness to them that i think you can pick out of a line up

    You can make Ableton/Logic sound like FL ofc but imo with most modern rap beats you can tell which are FL and which aren't

    To me my exports out of fl always sounded worse than inside the daw, some of the frequencies would be messed up & overall mix diff too

    Tried many things but it didn’t change

    Have been messing w GarageBand on phone lately & exports sounding exact same as project

    Check what you're exporting out as or print the session.

    Nope, there's not really much difference in terms of sound across DAWs. But a lot of times u can tell what plugins they might be using

    Nerd s*** incoming

    Back in the early days of synthesized music (late 70’s-80’s), a discerning music listener could detect which synthesized instruments the artist was using to create a particular sound.

    An easy example is the Linn Drum machine. This thing was particularly everywhere on 80’s pop radio (MJ used it on Thriller, Aha’s Take On Me, etc) and has seen a resurgence in popularity today. It is particularly synonymous with Prince’s productions in the 80’s:

    !https://youtu.be/i0sWBa8wKKk?feature=shared

    Prince’s beats, as you could see in this vid, were pretty easy to replicate for anyone who had access to the technology.

    Today, the music world is way different than it was in the 80’s, with most artist/producers using advanced DAWs on computers.

    The point of the thread? I wanna know if it’s possible for music listeners today for them to detect if an artist is using FL Studio, Logic, Pro Tools or even GarageBand? Or have these DAWs become so good that they’re indistinguishable aurally?

    They used to say Tyler’s beats sounded like they were made on FL

    I feel that you can hear that Flume and Arca uses Ableton, but then again I thought Fred Again used Ableton but he uses Logic.
    I also think it sounds like SOPHIE uses Ableton but I am pretty sure she used Logic

    from what i've looked into SOPHIE used ableton but most of the PC Music affiliated artist use logic

    i used to have this issue too, i had to go into my computer’s settings and switch off an automated mixing thing/filter that was f***ing everything up in FL

    haven’t had that issue since, could possibly be yours

  • Aug 23, 2023

    yes when i first heard burial n heard how it sounds like made on soundforge, i threatened him to learn a proper DAW or i will sell him off to Thom Yorke as beat slave

  • Aug 23, 2023

    If a beat has a lot of effects, automation, and vocal/audio manipulation it was made on ableton.

    No
