The Ultimate DAW shoot-out!

Hey guys,

got asked by my mate who's writing his dissertation to post this up. So here it is!



I'm doing a listening test to determine if there is a audible difference between Protools 8, Logic 8 and Cubase 5. It's a A-B blind listening test, and also includes comparing the same files (compare a - a). This test is part of my final year dissertation, and I need testers with good ears.
This will only take you about 30 mins.

I won't anounce which track is which until the test is over, to prevent cheating.

The test has been done with three different source materials. I did not use any plugins. To eliminate pan law differences, I left all all pans untouched. I also didn't mess around with any of the faders.

I would very much apreciate if some people could take part in the listening test as I need a certain amount of people, to make the test valuable for my research paper. I will anounce the results, as well as offering the source material for download, so people can take that stuff to make their own listening tests or include their daws, when I have enough participants to make it a valid research.

the answer sheet text is only for people who don't have a office application to open excel sheets.

The zip file contains 27 audio files (24 bit 44.1kHz) and a instruction text as well as an answer sheet.

Thanks a lot for your time

Matias


If any of you have the time it is quite an interesting test! If you do take the test please also take the time to fill in the form and email it back to M.Oepen (at ) lipa.ac.uk
