I am not dreaming, I have two Grammy award winning engineers who agree with me; they hear it and NEVER record through plugs or bounce down individual tracks to conserve dsp unless absolutely necessary and then only on tracks of lesser importance. I would really like a response from digi on this. It is a real issue. If you guys take a minute to listen rather than assuming it can't possibly be different you will hear it. I have a drummer listening to my mix and HE hears it. come on. My system is perfect, my friend's systems are fine. Digi?

First, do the null test - do they null? That will tell the tale absolutely, positively without question. Any discussion without a null test is completely moot.

Second - any difference you're hearing is not an issue with Pro Tools. There are several things that could cause a perceived difference - the biggest being volume levels - even a slight change can make something sound different. If it's a little lower level it will be perceived as being 'duller'.
