I grew up using Acoustica and CoolEdit/Adobe Audition and when Ableton Live 9 came out, I gave it a go and was definitely blown away by the far newer quality stock VSTs and workflow, but I recently got a MacBook and a friend let me use Pro Tools 9 on it, and boy was I shocked.
The actually quality of just raw recordings going into the DAW just sounded better. I used to run the other DAWs on 96 kHz, 24-bit, and I've been using Pro Tools on 44.1 kHz, 24-bit and I like these tracks better (is this maybe why it sounds better? is 96 kHz maybe stretching the audio quality too far or something?). Everything in my line up is exactly the same: Alesis MultiMix 8, same instruments, same mikes and same levels, etc.
What's funny is that Pro Tools 9 is nearly 4 years old, and even though Ableton Live 9 came out this year, I wasn't as blown away by the DAW sound upgrade as I was by PT9.
Is this some kind of placebo effect?
Does anyone know if there's a programming reason in the background that is making me flip my wig? Just wondering.
Sincerely,
Curious Convert
