Audio engine question

[treysmith]

Do you mean all of the above (including live) has the same audio engine quality, and a perfect bounce algorythm? Maybe in the land of oz dude!

I was expecting something more tecnical as an answer.

Hope somebody could help (maybe the gods of ableton?)

Thanks

Henke has already posted about this on here.

Basically he said when a track is completely unaltered (meaning absolute zero
coloration of sound) it would sound the same bounced down in Pro Tools,
Cubase, Logic, Live, Etc...

The bouncing down a file is done the same way regardless of platform (it's
always basically 1s and 0s ), but as soon as you color the sound then
it's a totally different story.

Obviously there are VERY few people who don't even use an EQ when
producing, so it's sort of a moot point.

Speaking of "moot points", tell me the last time you've seen a ANY DAW
besides Pro Tools in a million dollar plus studio?

Most likely never, and if there are ANY I'd be willing to be it's in the .0001%
range.

But we all know that doesn't mean Pro Tools is the best DAW.

In other words, don't let industry hype and obligation effect which DAW you
produce your music in.

A skilled professional could make 4 Track sound better than than 90%
of "producers" using $500+ DAWs

yeah, but what serious artist is mastering at his home studio?! ...

one without much cash, perhaps ?

top class sound equipment is nice to have, but it won't affect the 'art' value of your work.

personally i don't believe in any of this flimflam about different mixing 'engines'. but whatever, live's sound quality is much better than good-enough. concentrate on making the art.

Live is not a dedicated mastering application and Live does not do 5.1 surround yet.

-yet
is that alluding to 5.1 in version 6 perhaps?
