apparently the way a sound editing program carries out functions such as equalisation can affect the end result.
does this mean that different programs work in different ways?
for
editing operations - ie. volume, equalisation, pan, reverb ( -- and
NOT for operations such as transferring a digital signal bit for bit or cutting tracks at a precise point -- ) are some programs better than others?
what program* do you think is best for carrying out these tasks, and why?
ALSO please don't base your answer on how simple or complicated the program is to operate, i just want your opinion on the differences in
quality of the music post-editing (if there are any) between the programs.
cheers!
*some examples: cool edit pro, cubase, pro tools, soundforge, wavelab... they seem to be the most popular
...If i may phrase the question in a simpler way:
imagine that you apply the exact same equaliser settings to a particular music file using cool edit pro and then cubase... would there be any noticeable difference in the resulting files?
