Drums in Logic Pro X with the stock compressor, simply titled Compressor. Drums in Ableton Live with the stock compressor, Mix Gel. Assuming they’re all VCA compressors, even then, differences in the underlying code would affect how they process the sound, even with similar settings. We are guessing that Live and FL Studio’s stock comps are VCA types, which are the most transparent and therefore the most likely for a compressor intended for broad dynamics applications. While Logic gives you the option to choose from among different compressor types, the other two do not. Visually they are fairly similar.Īlthough we tried to match settings and volume, the differences in compressor behaviour likely account for the variation in sound. The Live result is fairly tight, while both the Logic and FL bounces are bassy. As expected, this part of the experiment yielded the most disparity, at least subjectively. For Live, we used the Compressor (with the Mix Gel preset), for Logic, it was the standard Compressor (in Studio VCA mode), and for FL Studio we used the Fruity Compressor with knee in Hard mode. Lastly, we tested the stock compressors in each DAW. As expected, this part of the experiment yielded the most disparity.
