back into PARIS or if thats just redundant.
You want me to forgo our beloved PARIS on my projects!Shame;)
I was thinking you might tell me track to PT,back to Neve for analog processing,then
to Nuendo for UAD ADC,then to PARIS for
summing out to a 1/2" machine all with Myteks;or something more
complicated:)
By the way was it you who bought those Myteks fs recently?

I have converted those .wma files to MP3's and e-mailed them to you. the
..wma files were DRM encoded. I don't have a clue how that happened-it
certainly wasn't intentional on my part. I think my WMP did it somehow
without my catching it. Anyway, being the lazy ass slacker that I am, I
decided to figure out a way to defeat DRM so I wouldn't have to get up, walk
into the other room, boot my DAW, convert the bounces to MP3, then burn them
to a CD. It's pretty easy rea

lly.....at least I think I have succeeded. It
just requires the sacrifice of one CD. All you need to do is to burn these
copy protected files to an Audio CD (I used Nero), then rip the CD and save
the files as MP3's. That's what I did with the files I sent you. I don't
notice any audible degradation. Let me know if the DRM copy protection shows
up on your end. It doesn't show up here on the MP3's so don't think it will
be an issue with the files I sent you.

I have been using it for about 2 years now, after switching from Paris, and
I think it sounds very, very good. It has by far the best built-in EQs (2
types), compressors (3 types, including a multiband), effects, and a
convolution reverb. It has a very advanced auto or graphical pitch
correction feature. You hardly need to use 3rd party plugins with it. Burns
CDs too. Haven't touched Sound Forge sinc

I haven't needed support for Nuendo/SX yet, so I can't comment there. The
forum is knowledgeable enough usually that I don't see needing direct
support.
Support was poor with Logic also (at least my attempts to contact email
support never got answered) - non-existent basically. I have a feeling this
is a limitation with smaller (smaller than Digi) companies overseas. US
support is limited. Then again, I never had much luck with MOTU, but
supposedly they are better now (no more part time Berkley students I
guess...)

There is no reason why Nuendo itself would sound bad anymore than
Samplitude, DP, Logic, Sonar or SawStudio, or Paris for that matter. I
would never use a tradeshow to judge audio quality of anything. For sure,
there is no telling who setup the rig and what gear they used - hardly a
sound engineering reason to write it off. As Bill replied - the demos
aren't great - kind of like one of the Paris demos I heard - and Logic,
etc.... For some reason some of these demos think dropping in some mp3
loops constitutes a demo of a professional recording app.
I've produced rap, rock, pop, dance, acoustic, orchestral, etc - Nuendo
sounds great. Also I think some people pop up built in EQs, comps, reverbs,
etc, run a mix, and assume that's the sound of the DAW. Makes me wonder
where these people learned engineering... Like all things, even mediocre
gear/plugins can work in the right situation (see last comment below).

Bit for bit cancellation with what? Another PT rig? For sure. With
Samplitude or Nuendo? No way if you use audio files with more than 16 bits
of dynamic range. I know other users that have tested Samplitude and Nuendo
and gotten the same cancellation results. FWIW, Lynn Fuston has a DAWSUM
sampler testing this very thing for anyone interested.
This is a long debated issue that so far, as a Nuendo user, and former Paris
user, I can't find a reason why Samplitude would sound any better - either
technical or audible, and I've tested both ways. I think the truth of the
matter is sound is 50% perception. Some think one DAW will sound better,
and it does. Put a Samplitude/Sequoia wrapper on Cubase SX and I bet 8 out
of 10 listeners will think it sounds better. Some users claimed v2 sounded
better than 1, but they were the same audio engine - just a different look.
What many people never take into account with testing is trying to run
regular mixes, substituting in different EQs, etc. Sorry, won't work. To
be valid, all gain changes have to be identical, or set to 0 if they can't
be

wrong with those who run that company.
I first heard Matchless amps, the new Telefunken mics, Fearn
preamps, Soundelux mics, and about 50 other things at big trade
shows, and all of them sounded great both there and in daily use.

As a client, you have to conclude that someone blew it. Either
the trade show people, or those who created the product. How
do you know? Well, when a pro like yourself tells me it sounds
great, that carries a lot of weight, but the company could have
done

And all this testing is worthwhile, yet not definitive. Time after time
in the last 50 years in audio, somone has come up with a "definitive"
test for something and discarded the audible evidence right in front
of them. Later, someone a bit smarter figures out how to test for
what they heard and says "oh yeah, here's what you heard".
It's like the folks who say there is no difference in CD recording
media or writing speeds. I heard SSC say on this very forum that
media didn't matter, but you shouldn't write audio CD's at 44X.
Well, why not? they checksum perfectly! But they sound like crap.
So, while we need (desperately) objective standards and
measurements in audio, I have to say that someone who convinces
themselves they did not hear something that they know they did
hear, is almost as silly as someone who believes in every single
goofy myth on Harmony Central.
Hearing things that we cannot measure is how both audio and the
science of measurement progress.

I don't know that Sequoia sounds any better or different than
Nuendo. Haven't spent time with it. I like Sequoia because the
editing just rocks, and you can master in the same app as you
track and mix. Also, it's reputation in classical r
