Re: Going crazy over sound-quality in PT vs Logic

Re: Going crazy over sound-quality in PT vs Logic

Tried it in logic, not much difference, still sounds better then PT.
Sounds a tiny bit less loud then when normalize is engaged, but still sounds better then any mix i´ve ever done inside of PT 8....

Re: Going crazy over sound-quality in PT vs Logic

To illustrate it i´ll have to give a better example i guess:

But focusing on the loudness part of it, there is a noticeable difference.

Re: 2 minute delay to start recording.....

What´s your system specs?

Try setting your buffer-size to a higher samplerate and setting your host processors to 1 below your maximum in the playback engine.

Is it normal to get CPU-errors ("Reduce buffer size or remove some plugins" - Error 6104 etc.) even if your CPU-usage is only at about 20-30 % ?

Re: Confused about audio track-count in PT 10

So that's 96 stereo tracks @ 48 kHz?

If it's Mono then that sucks.. I gotta go get Logic Pro in that case.
