Very interesting question because it was done many times in the past when songs were intentionally slowed down from 135 to 40 slow and then back up again. It was done manually in real time as the music was mixed to the mastering machine. Moby made a song that went up to 1000bmp :lol: :lol: and it ...

Yes, Live 7 sounds better. We can measure it. The difference is in a range below -130dB.


did you mistype that? that reads as saying that the difference between 6 and 6 is very very small AND 7 sounds better?? that statement reads as 6 and 7 sounding very very very similar.


No he didnt ...

I hate to ask this (for fear that it's been covered and I didn't notice it) but if it makes no difference then why is it there?
yes exactly but the answer is in his words regarding media.

It is sad, that the music industry and press managed to get people into a complete absurd race for technical data that has nothing to do with : making music.

Well said.
One day Mr Henke we'll be quoted in the school books.
This is exactly my feeling. Thanks to have it expressed in such a clear ...

wow, still a sound quality discussion!

some of the best sounding productions ever made in the last 30 years were recorded on vinyl, with a headroom around sixty db.

Yes, Live 7 sounds better. We can meassure it. The difference is in a range below -130dB. If you believe you can hear this, fine ...

I doubt there is backward compatibility. There should be in my opinion because some users may need such a feature.

Again your talking of plugins which may have been recoded. My whole point is asking if the audio engine is better as is the claim because of the 64 bit engine.

I just upgraded to version 7.0.1 and I can hear the difference vs. version 6. My assumption is purely subjective, based on what I'm hearing, but hey if we as musicians can't detect subtle differences in audio fidelity then who can? The reverb and delay tails are much cleaner discernable.

Tricil > Thank you for that. I never thought to hit the overdub button. previously I would hit the main and track record button and end up with long sections of strange lengths. But now I have 3 buttons to hits when overdubbing. to much clicking and distractions for spontaneous work :?
