The 'theory' doesn't make it right either. The null-thang is flawed:

I challenge you null and 'all DAW sound the same' guys & gals to show that when summing using the same plug-ins (both FX and VIz) that different DAW programs will null out. Here's a simple test: do a BFD with a Ren Comp and print the exact same thing in DP and Cubase. Make all settings, levels, etc. the same. My theory: They will not null.

The null test, IMHO, are flawed because they don't take plugins into account. Who doesn't mix with plug-ins if they are not using external summing and/or outboard gear.

Danny: can you tell us if DP (4.x) sums using 24 bit or 32 bit? Also: has the summing and/or plug-in integration algos changed between 4 and 5?

Good luck,
