it's doing something where the low end doesn't sound the same as the source / have matching content. The response below 50Hz is measurably different. And the slope in that regard is pretty abrupt.
Cubase sounds more true if I mic up a kick...the response is much closer to the source. it's not a clarity thing, it's a matter of how much harmonic content the signal processes down to waves
Pro Tools is most assuradly different sounding in this regard. And it doesn't feel like a hi-pass filter, or EQ doing it. It's just slightly less musical overall to my ears when you A/B the same source split.
Now I will still use it if the studio I'm in has it. But if given an option...I would much rather use everything else I've mentioned in previous posts. Topping out with the Nuendo Engine or Radar.
Even if this was not the case...for sheer economic reasons I find Cubase to be one of the best bangs for the buck for me...but in the end I just want things to be very even sounding during tracking...it makes mixing a lot easier for me. |
I totaly agree as i have samplitude and nuendo. I must say that Nuendo is the fattest fullest and most musical of the 2. Samp sounds thin and too sterile.
I track and mix with Nuendo and use Samp for mastering..
