    Why does different software sound different¿

      Not that I care that much I'm just wondering why?

       

       

      I did a test, with the same exact .wav file in 3 different applications, I tested: Audition 3.0, Tracktion 2.0.2.14, Ableton Live 6, and they all sounded noticably different with settings on flat, exact same file.

       

      Audition seemed to have the most "accurate" and slightly more high-pitch content, Ableton Live seemed to be slighty less wide but with the mid-range a little more present and Mackie's Tracktion seemed the just a bit more rounded then Audition but also sounded very good.

       

      Audition seemed the most accurate, Tracktion I liked best for that particular file but I'm not sure if it is quite as accurate and wide sounding as Audition, and the kick and snare especially seemed to have slightly less higher-frequency content in Tracktion which could have made it more pleasant sounding to my ears I suppose.

       

       

      weird.
