Inspired by this thread I did a mix with no plug-ins, just levels and panning, in Pro Tools HD 7.4 and then did the same mix with the same level and pan settings (all hard panned or dead center for consistency's sake) in DP 5.11.
Both mixes (with 30 tracks BTW) sounded the same to me so I went further with the test. I put both mixes side by side and inverted the polarity on one of them. Guess what? They perfectly cancelled out! I was expecting some degree of cancellation but not 100% do you know what I mean? This proves that at least DP and Pro Tools sound exactly the same.
