The funny thing is reading a lot of people here claiming that DP sounds TERRIBLE!

They are completely sure that just running the same files on DP and PT results in a dramatic difference (no plug ins or processing, just levels and hard pans

).

This is why Oroz's test is so revealing.

BTW, I own both systems, a PT HD3 with an Aurora 16 and control 24, but I work EVERY DAY with a DP 5.12, Apogee AD16X(x2) and DA16X(x2) and a SSL Duality with a big selection of outboard gear and I just can't produce on PT, I'm so used to DP. Our Pro tools mixes sound great, but NEVER better than our DP mixes.

Best regards.

P.S. what a great thread!!
