As a FL studio and Ableton fanboy he honestly has a point, we should not shun him but demand the features of reaper into our preferred DAWs, the fact that reaper has "check delta only" on a plug in is insane to me, that would be so helpful for mixing or even sound design

​@@BrandNewByxorWell in reaper it's instant hold of a key and click of button, personally I would never use it if I had to do it manually because I mix my own music and by the time I'm at mixing stage I won't have any perspective (time) left to waste on setting that up.

[@PaulOrtiz]

This was always my battle using Reason to produce in. I love so much about it and honestly I do still make music in it. But if I’ve got a tight deadline, I’m in Logic. Technically they can both do the same things but QoL features that save a few seconds here and there add up to hours over the course of a month and the older I get (and the busier work gets) the less time I have. So I totally get what he’s saying here. You can master where you produce. Many do. But efficiency and organisation are important things to consider.

[@Anon530-o2g]

3:50 - "how often are you doing album mastering?" Real professional mastering engineers can do tens of albums a week. This guy is absolutely cooking throughout and anyone saying otherwise is just a bedroom producer. It's not that you can't master in other DAWs, it's about the workflow, which when hyper efficient, means he can just focus on what matters: the music. And you can't do proper red book standard mastering in most DAWs.

[@zwicker5585]

Yes you can. This is a moronic take. Workflow is about personal preference. Mastering slow doesn’t magically make it not mastering 😂

[@flpnice2329]

FL allows per channel notes, as many as you like, ; and fl allows you to export stems individually. this guy is talking rubbish.

[@scamculture]

Yup, even the replies here show the myopic frame most bedroom producers have. I could build a house and transport construction materials with a Honda Civic but there’s a reason we use trucks and purpose-built machines. You will struggle to understand the utter necesssity of those machines until you have to scale your work.

[@zwicker5585]

@ nobody is arguing a truck can’t be better than a car. But if you tell me you can’t buy wood without a truck I’ll call you stupid every time

[@scamculture]

@@zwicker5585 But part of being a professional is doing things at scale. He’s not saying you can’t buy wood, he’s saying it’s not practical to pick it up in a sedan. Ableton is a mastering tool in the same way Garageband is a fully-featured production suite. Technically speaking, yes, in many ways it’s exponentially more powerful than tools we produced entire albums with less than 20 years ago, and great records have already been made with it. But you will quickly encounter practical obstacles as you use it in a professional setting- limitations, missing features, compatibility, lack of in-depth educational materials, etc. Industries have practices for a reason, they benefit their specific use case. That said, this criticism applies to maybe 1% of people that see this guys video. Most people are mastering their own tracks and maybe a few for friends, primarily singles and smaller projects, and will never require ‘professional mastering’ as this guy understands it. So in that way it’s sort of clickbait. But I think he’s trying to draw attention to what mastering actually is. People see mastering as plugins you put on your master bus, not an entire craft with it’s own processes, approaches, and specialized equipment.

[@THA-REAPER]

Studio One is clutch for all points he mentioned it has a mastering project feature. I used it for normal projects, wedding playlists, gym events, and all kinds of weird stuff.

He's pretty much right. Technically you can produce any genre in any daw and also mix and master in any daw, but there are reasons why certain daws are more popular than others for producing and certain daws are more popular for mixing and mastering, with of course exceptions. He's making this video from a pro mastering engineer's perspective and as a pro you would want the best tool for the job and those more producer focused daws like ableton, fl etc. just don't have these tools and workflows that you'd be relying on a daily basis where every second wasted is a potential loss of money. Now Reaper is not a mastering focused DAW but due to its nature being so flexible and customizable, you can make it cater to any workflow you'd want because I don't do any mixing or mastering, but I use Reaper specifically for producing music simply the fact Reaper lets you customize the DAW to the extreme so you can have any workflow you'd want, whether it's a workflow of another daw or something completely unique. Yeah, the title of the video is a bit clickbaity and that's just the nature of youtube in general, just like how you'd used a lot of clickbaity titles in the past as well lol.

It wouldn't replace a DAW like Bitwig or Ableton for me that are super quick for generating musical ideas, but it is a great mastering tool, and also great for doing any traditional recording/tracking or non-electronic oriented work. I consider them different tools for different jobs. Like Adobe Premiere and Adobe After Effects, both are video software on a surface level, but one is more specialized.

I don’t master music professionally but I’ve used many DAW’s and found Reaper to be my go to. My thoughts - Cheers

I’ve always used Studio One’s Project page, its dedicated mastering page. And I’m sure there’s things it does that Reaper can’t, like enabling you to add isrc codes, thumbnail images etc. I never heard him mention this stuff. And for stems, that can be done in Studio One’s normal arrange page, and then opened back in the Project page.

[@nwndr]

Studio One, Cubase, Pro Tools and Logic all share a lot of functionality with Reaper and are similar linear workflows. Of the one's I've toyed with I did ultimately decide that I prefer Reaper though, purely because I can customize actions and hotkeys to my needs. Reaper out of the box is super off-putting but if you put some time into setting it up to work for you, it is great. I like using a combo of Bitwig and Reaper for my music

I agree with his claims that reaper is probably better for mastering engineers. I would word it differently than he is, but one thing that really annoys me is that he is saying at the end that other software can make music but also reaper can make music so it’s better because you can do both (producing and mastering) You can’t claim one software have all the features that are perfect for your task and than say on producing “well it’s all the same” Ableton is probably 10 times better with warping, midi handling, not even talking about session view. So maybe it’s not for mastering, but don’t tell me reaper is just as good just because every software can produce music.

[@harambo88]

yeah the algos are a thing but i allways see this as "daw-as sequencer/mixer/etc neutral" and the "color/plugin/fx" so while ableton is a good deal for warping maybe the stock EQ of a other DAW is better bc minimal phase function and the metering of the next DAW is the best meter but thats why you have plugs. a DAW is a seq and mixer and should be neutral

[@NitzanBueno]

I tried Reaper after watching his video, and you're totally right - no (automatic) transient auto detection, no pitch correction tool, but more egregiously - not even a multi sampler! If you want one you have to manually assemble single samplers. The workflow take works the other way as well.

[@xxlintux]

@@NitzanBueno select an item (or several) and hit D on your keyboard. auto transient detection with no way to alter the sensitivity is a big no no in my book. reatune is pitch correction both auto and manual. reasamplomatic is multi if you load multiple instances (there's scripts in reapack that aid this in different styles). I can only bash reaper's piano roll for being a bit clunky and/or having dumb defaults but the behaviour can be changed almost completely to make it fit your own workflow (I replicated fl studio's-ISH) Reaper isn't perfect by any means but it gets damn near close to MY perfect with some previous setup and I bet it can get close to yours too if you take time to think about what would make it suit you better.

[@rez9159]

I think he make good points why some DAWs are suited better to do Mastering on a large scale but the problem is, it is not the scale that makes something a master. All his argumentation is build around the assumption someone is a full time mastering engineer. I know musicians with audio engineering background who are doing highly professional mastering for others just on a smaller scale. I don't see a problem to do a master in Live for an two track EP here and there. When i learned at SAE some also told us XY is better for mixing and mastering and it took me i time to realize that they are mostly talking about batch editing and handling a large amount of files and yes this is probably the only use case i would touch Pro Tools again. Setting up projects, routing them to an large console etc. does work great while everything creative sucks on PT. When it comes to mixing i think Live, Bitwig and co. having even an edge, because the horizontal device views offering me a quicker overview of the channel fx and adjustments go quicker if i can directly access all tools without opening individual windows. As it is his argument is click bait because he is implying his specific scenario is equal to mastering. It is like saying XY isn't a singer because XY has less than 10k Spotify streams in a month while XY is actually only singing for movie soundtracks.

[@blaness13]

I think a better analogy is that while you could run a freight company with a pick-up truck, at some point you are losing money on the limitations of the truck, vs getting a tractor-trailer, Most of his points are around doing lots of work, quickly and efficiently, and while you can make a "Master" of a song in any daw, he's referring to the job as a professional Mastering engineer, Its does kinda go back to the different perspectives of what "mastering" is that's where the controversy is with this his video, his tier list does smoke a hot dick though. and i don't see the need to "see" the summed audio,

Reaper is definitely great for mastering. The best part IMO is how it allows you to batch custom name the songs when exporting. Can’t do custom batch export naming in Ableton. It’s also very easy and seemless to A/B different plugins in Reaper. The naming of his video title is just super click bait-y. Should have called it something like “Why Reaper is more efficient for mastering than Ableton, Reason, etc”

[@CraigAdams-s9i]

He’s right. Making a master is not the same thing as professional mastering.

[@BeyondTyrants]

What everyone does in a DAW is closer to mixing than mastering. He's right to only want the final stereo mix when it comes time to master instead of dealing with a bunch of stems because mastering is about taking a final product and playing it through a variety of stereo systems to test their response to the mix. The mix engineer should have already fixed little things like "the hi hats are too loud or something" before sending it off to the mastering engineer, who will then run it through carefully crafted playback environments to listen for unwanted frequencies. Mixing and mastering are two different skillsets with two different sets of equipment. These days, we've lost sight of that because just putting a filter curtailing the low end of the mix is enough for most playback environments these days. The mix is far more important overall. But mastering is the difference between sounding like Billie Eilish in her bedroom and Adele in the Royal Albert Hall. Although to be fair, Eilish made a lot of money with her studio bedroom so obviously a DAW alone is enough for "mastering", but true mastering is above and beyond that. It's a science.

What he's talking about in Ableton is not "Mastering". It's "Mixing Down". Mixdown: This is the process of combining multiple audio tracks (stems) into a single stereo track. It involves balancing levels, panning, and applying effects to individual tracks. Mastering: Involves processing this final mix to enhance its overall sound and ensure it translates well across different playback systems. Wavelab was great, I used it for a few years.

The whole thing is a strawman to anyone whose been doing this for years. There have been two types of DAWs IMO for at least 20 years, the producing, UX oriented DAWs like Live, Reason, Bitwig, FL Studio etc. and the "kitchen" sink DAWs like Reaper, Cubase, Logic, Digital Performer and Studio One. It's blatantly obvious that the former are geared towards fast production of mostly electronic based music, while "dinosaur" DAWs get nearly every feature that comes along to be your Swiss army knife solution. They almost always have a higher learning curve and you will want to create a template with all the features and shortcuts available for the task. Reaper is not alone in being good for mastering, nearly all the dinosaur DAWs are capable of matching Reapers workflow here. He barely touches in this, instead concentrating on DAWs like Live and Reason that didn't have virtual instruments or audio recording capabilities when they started off.

He's got a point: I wouldn't want to be restricted to Ableton for mastering. Ableton gives away a few technical aspects for the sake of creativity and ideas.

A pro-mastering engineer will hardly feel happy.

You can _do_ those processes in other DAWs but it’s much too fragmented. I’ve done “mastering” in the way he approaches it slightly in Ableton, but still had to pull my track out and put it into other programs to finish what ableton wasn’t going to cover. This ain’t bad information at all.

Sound Forge was good for this back when Sony owned it.

Pretty sure you could do all that in Studio One...

[@hiphopchild9540]

can he tell the difference between digital mastering and "analogue" (some hardwares are digital) when listening ? Or is he trying to get us buying his services ?

Reaper is great, but the workflows for composition in other DAWs are better - and I am a user who composes in Reaper! Reaper has some great features probably most users won’t need.
