Hi again "Disagree, I can hear the difference in our studio - it's massive enough for anyone to spot, which is why we wire Live through a desk before the sound goes anywhere but I'd never use it to master anything in a million years. Each to their own I guess..."
It is interesting that you say anyone can spot this - it must be very noticeable. It would be interesting to know the details of your tests and setups.?? The published tests that I have seen are always along these lines: 1) WAV file imported into DAW_A 2) WAV then processed using some hi end pluggin 3) track bounced to a new WAV This is repeated in Live and other DAWs and then the bounced versions are compared. There are numerous variations on this test on the net and as far as Im aware; no one has found any differences. The tests also exist for say, Cubase/Pro Tools etc etc. Their conclusions are always the same: Modern professional DAW packages are so advanced now that sound quality considerations can be forgotten about. But still, would be interesting to find some tests that go against this. I'll take a sniff around later Paul London www.punkdisco.co.uk www.punkdisco.co.uk/Music/Wot.mp3 - New annoying track www.myspace.com/punkdisco - Zero content, more pictures
