Examples ?
pretty much the entirety of DS2 and Barter 6 are nexus & omnisphere
chief keef x young chop was nexus and gladiator
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
HWHAT
i was able to use the vsts even before they made them standalone tbh
forgot how to do it but doesn’t matter anymore since u can just buy/torrent that standalone version now

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.

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=sharedPrince’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

This was years back, tried everything lol
Was small differences but to me I noticed it so much

tyler used a lot of stock sounds, there's whole lists of them

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