in short: don't blame the hammer if you can't hit a nail into the wall.

it will sound as good as your production skills allow.

A 'sound quality' thread! Yay!

To the poster - This has been addressed many times on the forum, you should search for some old threads to see how in-depth the discussion gets. I think it is safe to say that it is generally accepted that Live's sound reproduction does not differ from other software.

The 'Sound Quality' issue is BULLSHIT, and pardon my finesse.

No way guys, Live sounds awful compared to the other DAWs. I mean, it just has to sound bad right?

Surely, yes, I'm very very sure it sounds bad.

I mean, Live sounds really bad, like really bad, or maybe like really bad.

Certainly sounds worse than my casio DAW, yes surely!

Why can't live souind good like it does whn playing live live!?!

Surely it can, right?

I mean, if it sounds good live, and you're using Live live, then using live not Live will not make it sound better, even though you're not live (using Live) on a live stage in front of live people. DAWs always sound better live, like Live, so if you're not using Live live, then please make it sound better!
