![]() ![]() Then I'll digital peak limit and dither in Waveburner.Įarnest, yeah when I said compatible I guess I meant that UNLIKE ProTools, DP will talk to just about all the hardware very easily. That's how I use DP (minus the DDP disk image thang), but I try not to do any math with DP, just play and record an analog mastering chain. DIGITAL PERFORMER VS LOGIC GENERATORSoundblade is great because it's a DDP image generator and with 4-tracks it will feed a mastering chain and record back in. Waveburner in OS9 is still my main place to assemble and create redbook CD-R's for mastering. I do have the new SoundBlade by Sonic, but I'm still getting comfortable with it. I've also heard that Nuendo sounds excellent. I've heard that Logic's summing does sound nice. But I do suspect that the digital summing engines will come around someday. That's where analog really still seems to have digital beat, hands down. I'm a big fan of coming out of the box and summing in the analog domain. Everyone does the multi to stereo summing with different math. I haven't done enough with Logic yet to have compared the sonics with DP, but I think you're right about the summing. I'm working my way into OSX, but for now my OSX machines are for recording and learning the new stuff. ![]() That OS9 machine is still my main mastering machine that feeds the analog mastering gear. That forces me to still run my older dual 1GHz Mac because it boots up in OS9. DIGITAL PERFORMER VS LOGIC PROI actually got Logic Pro so I could also have the new OSX version of Waveburner. I recently got Logic Pro, so I'm bouncing between DP and Logic. It is aging and lacks some of the modern features, but still for a DAW and digital summing, it's pretty warm and nice sounding. I've got a friend who runs Paris, and it really does sound nice. The interface and workflow is much more intuitive for those with roots in the analog audio world. In an audio-only environment, I still prefer Digital Performer. DIGITAL PERFORMER VS LOGIC PSPWhen I incorporate an AU plug-in like PSP Vintage Warmer, The settings I use in DP will be too much for Logic. I don't know if it's the summing algorithms or what, but they sound different. I can mix the same tracks in Digital Performer and Logic, dry and without any EQ's or plug-ins, and still end up with a different sound in the mix. It's interesting how these programs can sound so different from each other. I still have the stand-alone version, but it requires a computer that can boot into OS9. The pro version of Logic also includes Waveburner, a CD mastering program that used to be available as a stand-alone, but now is now incorporated into Logic. Lately, however, I find myself bouncing back and forth between DP and Logic, partly because my computer is aging, and Logic is a little less demanding on the CPU, and can play those nice sampled instrunments from GarageBand. ![]()
