except that workflow does affect the final product. For example, a knob in 
plain view on MB and only in a plugin GUI that may not be on screen may be 
adjusted on MB and not in Reaper. At least these are pretty simple mixes. 
There is drums and a few guitars (vocals are glaring in their lack as the 
projects the 32c are known for focus on vocals). The drums are most 
complex to mix/set up, but seem to be pretty much the same from one to the 
next in micing/mixing. It says a lot about the engineer's (producer too I 
think) focus and vision. (no I do not mean eyesight)

So yes workflow is in question. From other comments there is a thumbs up 
for MB workflow just because of how close the two mixes are with such a 
short lead time.... or maybe not, we do not know how long the engineer 
played with MB before this test. Even more missing info.
