Question: Have you ever improved the sound quality of Reaper, especially for versions 5.0, 6.0, and 7.0? Is the sound quality getting better and better? Or during the software updates, have there been any optimizations made to the sound quality? A considerable number of people here believe that the newer the version, the better the sound quality. Do you think this is a psychological effect?

    yes and no -- in general the underlying quality when mixing unresampled, non-timestretched files hasn't changed. BUT, we have fixed various quality-related bugs that could occur in (generally rare) instances, improved the quality of the resampling support, added/updated timestretch engines, improved pan law curves, fixed bugs in ReaPlugs, etc. So in some instances, yes, but in most cases, if you load a project in 7.0 and 4.0, and it doesn't use features that don't exist in 4.0, then they should render to the same thing (or nearly so).
