High End DAW Shoot-out series?

[Tony Platt]

It would be great to do this again but frankly it took so much organisation I can't see it becoming a reality!

What we are continuing is a policy of making comparisons - not to have 'shoot outs' to see what is best, but to find out which bits of gear do what so we can make informed decisions about what is best for what situation.

Personally I use comparison as my main method of evaluation on a daily basis because it gives me a valid starting point - so I think it is more to do with the philosophy of recording?

That's actually a better way of approaching the gear selection than shoot-outs indeed, so it's great to see MPG going one step ahead of the rest of us in this never-ending, excuse my Turkish, pissing contest. Looking forward to those sessions.

Thanks for the information, Tony.

By the way, for those who haven't seen the shoot-out video, here it is:

I'm curious about what converters were used on the Nuendo and Protools rig. I don't think it's mentioned anywhere.

The Nuendo had Prism converters and the Protools was using the Digidesign HD192.
