Does Cubase 7 sound different than 6 or 5?

[Ciaccona]

That statement is referring to the newly added processing tools.

If you saturate every channel with the channel strip, of course it will sound different.

The same audio files mixed together without any processing won't sound different at all.

It's just a marketing hype thing to say.

So the summing engine is the same?

THERE ARE NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SUMMING ENGiNES!!!

FWIW, v7 is the best .0 release I've seen from Steinberg (been using Cubase since the VST days). Not saying it's perfect, but it is definitively usable and far more stable than all the 6.5.X releases. Those were pretty bad to be honest.

Marketing... :-)

However, the Vintage Compressor MkII sounds better that it's predecessor and VariAudio 2.0 has better note detection rendering much better result than before (dare I say close to Melodyne).
