i dont write code or anything like that so my limited understanding is that the principal diff between nuendo/cubase and PT HD (not le???) is they both do double pricision but steinberg uses a 32bit float and PT a 48 bit fixed....
I always understood LE does 24-bit and HD works on 48-bit. Which sucks, cause I'm not about to spend 10grand on a personal HD system just yet.

I'm just confused because you say you don't want answers about summing when you're asking about summing.
Specifically Nuendo's, which they seem to guard that information really well.
BTW, the audio engine in Cubase SX is the same as Nuendo. You can save $1000 or so.
I've heard the difference too, I just figured it was the difference between pan law and the different plugins.
Where I first heard about this Nuendo thing...
I remember a couple of years back, I was working with this producer in tampa, who was an ex-Nuendo licensed dealer and he went on and on about Nuendo and how it sounds. Eventually he ended up mastering all his projects in this thing. In my head I'm like, "man this sounds like a crock of shit, man".
So he gave me a copy, brand new box and everything, that I never gave any thought to.I finally got around to installing it a month ago. That first listen sparked the whole thing.
Hey Farview, did you ever get a chance to read on what Cubase/Nuendo does or if it even does anything different at the summing stage? It'd be cool to find out whats happening under the hood. I understand your bussiness is centered around Nuendo and the Ghost console. I assume you print your tracks from the console's master buss or do you feel that Nuendo sounds about the same? Or maybe it's in the file encoding?
It's one of these rare occasions that I can't seem to really come up with a good conclusion, I guess mostly for personal knowledge.
I even looked up Chuck Ainlay, I know he's an avid Nuendo user, but he pulls his mixes from the SSL. Also, I read the producer for the last Breaking Benjamin album reportedly used Nuendo for most of that project. No luck there.
It'd be nice to have some piece of mind about this, I'm not usually willing to mix inside the box on a paid project like this.
