If there's just one output, configure one of the two machines to send back thru it's digital out.Ĥ) Make sure both Sonar and PT start with a blank project with no plugs, etc.

Here's my idea:ġ) Bring your Sonar pc over to that PT studio, and hook-up using only your digital and clock input(s).Ģ) Hook up the same clock source as the PT setup (Word-clock or spdif) and set your clock source to that, in both your digital-interface card applet, and Sonar.ģ) Hook up digital input(s) to the same converter(s). Since the PT guy is interested, I like the idea of the apples-to-apples test (or the closest that I can picture). The difference in this case is the engineer, the room, the gear, the plug-ins used, etc. WAY TOO MANY posters just go off what's riding the top of the wave at the current time instead of realizing there's a whole ocean of differing opinion. To say 96k sounds better is the same as saying that an SM57 sounds better. Why? Same equipment, same room, same player, etc.Īlso, half of the replies are absolute rubbish - furthering your confusion! I can mic an amp and my assistant engineer will mic the same amp and mine will usually sound better. Usually, it's a better engineer with better gear.

When the tracks I get are better than mine, THE RECORDING SOFTWARE IS THE ABSOLUTE LAST THING I'D THINK ABOUT! I work with PT sessions into SONAR (and PT) all the time. Why can two drummers on the exact same drumkit in the exact same studio recording the exact same song sound sooooo different? Unfortunately, there is NO WAY WHATSOEVER TO VALIDATE ANY DIFFERENCES.
