I remember you guys going back and forth on this biz 2 years ago.

Samplitude sounds great as does Cubase. Some DAW's I've heard do not.

I am a strong believer in DAW sound differences. Maybe most of it has to do with plugin implementation, summing, dithering etc... But if you run a test between DAW's and are not specifically testing these main processes then you're not really testing. That NULL test on it's own is just stupid and has no validity.

DAW's sound different. summing, dithering, plugin implementation, sound card driver implementation and memory management? Don't kid yourselves there are differences. The null test you guys have been spewing for a year does not count
as a test. It is pointless. That's maybe why it's called a NULL TEST. Howabout more like a 'moot' test

Use a transparent splitter like the one BA makes and record a whole song to multiple DAW's simultaneously
then tell me DAW's don't sound different. Until then this Null test is a frikkin WASTE OF TIME And does not address
all aspects of why DAW's may or maynot differ in sound. The null test address only one of many aspects of a DAW as a whole.
