Hello, The 2 and 1/2 year old "end of thread." That's like 20 years in DAW/computer years. A word about testing. From testing you get test results, you do not necessarily get answers. You will learn far more from completing a project than reading old forum threads. GK

"You will learn far more from completing a project than reading old forum threads." Thks for the advise even if i just went platnum this years ! Just to be serious i was just lookin for an anaolg summing solution and on my top list it was the neve 8816 so i decided to google analog summin and it was one of the reults ! So curious like i am i read and was wondering if it really excists a different in sounds between daws !! That's it ! i know it's old that's why i'm asking cakewalkers right ow cause most of them use two or more daws !! Thks anyway for your answer !

And when I moved up from my Delta44 to my current Emu1212M (with the Pro Tools converter chips) and ditched my Mackie 1202 for a Presonus Central Station, everything improved sonically by at least one level of clarity and quality. You make a good point, though about being accustomed to what you have. It's only when compared against something else that you can really tell which is more appealing to your ears.

Compared to the skills of the user, the difference is negligible. Sonar 8 sounds significantly better than previous versions.

even though SONAR has twelve million two thousandand three bugs, i love it cause of its superrior soundquality-- My older projects made on RME and Cubase 4 sound much duller less shiny , less airy and cubase just sounds worse ----- Mixes in SONAR sound like a DREAM!!!!!

Folks these days dont listen right! cant hear no difference is for KRK speaker owners i guess. "Cant hear no difference" . what a shame. THERE ARE BIG _BIIIG differences in audioquality of the DAWS. First 64 Bit allways calculates more sound--so go figure- Nuendo for example had a slightly worse audioengine 3 years ago then now. Nuendo has a very good soundquality! cubase while mixing all tracks together ,will loose soundquality compared to the original mix! SONAR WILL NOT LOOSE SOUNDQUALITY after bouncing!!!!! It sounds just like the original mix!!!! AWESOME!!!!!!!!!! 87566464334348909 STARS!!!!! Logic sounds very flat when more then 20 tracks are used, though it has some punch. All my trax sound much better produced on Sonar then on Cubase. Its all in the mix----- AND i CAN let them tracks clip in SONAR like a cow on herbs! SONAR has some kind of limmiter in the output , which lets you run on very high trackvolumes...AMAZING again!

Well the thing is that we can't hear a 64 bit file no matter how hard we try. The same goes for an audio engine that is 64 bits FP. Its very nice to have for reasons other then a better sounding mix but the notion that you can hear it is well preposterous. In fact its likely you should hear a more degraded sound. Why this is is because you and I and everyone have D/A converters that can't pass on 64 bit audio. It simply can't be done. I don't know for a fact that it will sound worse but if the 64 bit source is being truncated badly it could sound worse. The potential it there and we should tread softly when making such claims. I offer that as something to think about. I wouldn't start saying it sounds so much better at least not with the equipment we have. Really the only thing that can possibly hear the benefit is the computer itself. Though I have tried asking it, it wont give an opinion on it. It simply stays mute.

Intel DX58SO , i7920, 6GB RAM, MOTU ULTRALITE , SPL volume 2, Dynaudio BM5A,VISTA ult., SOnar 8 prod RME + Cubase 4 vs MOTU + Sonar 8 I don't think the setting for a clean and fair comparaison is here , and witch version of cubase cause sx is known to send better than cubase studio ... I do think that RME has a superiour sonic quality than your Motu ! Well considerin my hear , i'm quite confident on my listenening skill and my set up (Adamp P11A + Sub and genelec 8020 + sub , beyerdynamics dt 990 pro) And the only difference i noticed was when i changed from my emu 1616 m to my Fireface 400 On the paper paper sonar is superior because of the standard 32 bit floating and the high quality difthering and the 64 engine of course.....so if you want to make a test just take like 10 sounds track use of course the same hardware , no plugin just raw files , bounce it at 24 bits bought and then open it in wahtever and make an phase cancel test ! I didn't make it cuase i don't have cubase sx or anything else , that's why i'm posting this thread !

I have Cubase SX 3. I had it on my old system. I did do songs in both. I heard no difference. I don't have it installed now because it is not Vista compatible.

i have compared the bounces of Cubase and SOnar ---- Cubase does not sound the same!!!! In Cubase when the mix gets bounced , it will make it sound a little duller and less precise. When i bounce my mix in Sonar with 64Bit , i can hear no difference between the mix and the bounce ---- SO ???????????? I know the things i know , even if its nothing at all.

I do not agree with that. The summing of Sonar "can" be called superrior , because it actualy is. And the limmiting function of Sonars mixer is cool .....You cant make it better with earth given present technology. Thanks. ORIGINAL: Zo http://www.mix-buss.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=131 The end of the thread is that the summing of cubase and nuendo is superior so anybody have made the test : Sonar vs other daws mixing routing sound ?

INTEL DX58SO , DYNAUDIO BM5A, SPL VOLUME 2, MOTU ultralite, Sonar 8 prod. I don't believe a mix on two separate DAWs can be mixed so precisely that they have identical settings that in fact effect the mix in the same exact way. You need to do a null test of a sine wave or a square wave. They will need to be set to the exact same settings with no FX for any conclusions to be made. Even then I would not bet my life on the results. I love it when anyone uses the "golden ears" approach to any discussion on the quality of audio. It means "I know what I know no matter how dumb it is".

Dude I can say that there are people on those forums with way worse spelling and grammar than our worst offender. And by that, I do not mean any offense CJ. I am a fan. But read that link and you will be proud of your spelling skills. Really proud. I am not sure I understand the debates over audio engine sounds. If there isn't a ton of phase distortion done as a result of process time and if the algorithms avoid clipping, the rest of what is going on is physics/math. The problems being solved by mixing audio signals are not some art as much as they are a science. I love Sonar, but if you get things right an any DAW application, the raw, un-eq'd, un compressed audio should sound the same from one app to another, assuming sample rates, converters, pre-amps, speakers... are the same. It would be interesting (though time consuming) to take a pieces of purely acoustic music and record it and play it back on Logic, PT, Sonar... and WITHOUT EQ, Compression... listen to the the DAWs in A/B blindfold comparisons. If everything else in the chain is identical, I would be pretty sure that even the most golden ears would not be able to repeatedly hear a noticeable difference. Maybe I am wrong. But I could never imagine saying "Excel is way more accurate at adding numbers than ___ (insert another spreadsheet here)".
Some people call me Maurice SPLAT Pro lifetime, ADK 6 core 3.6Ghz with 32 GB RAM, SSD 1TB system drive, 3 3TB regular drives for samples, recordings and misc. Behringer X Touch, UAD Apollo Quad. 2 UAD2 Quads PCI (i think - inside the box whatever that is), Console 1. More guitars (40??) and synths (hard and soft) than talent. Zendrum!!!
