ProTools不甘Summing被稱有問題而提出反擊

Pro Tools vs. 類比COnsole混音


他們之間有何不同??






Watch the video.








Some people prefer the sound when you mix digital audio through an analog console. Some people prefer the sound when all mixing and processing are done in Pro Tools® with no analog gear whatsoever. So, we did an experiment to see how closely we could match some mixes done on a large-format analog console using Pro Tools and modeled console channel strip plug-ins, and have posted the resulting audio files for you to hear.



We’d like to know how many people can hear differences between a mix done on an analog console, and one done completely in Pro Tools (without analog gear). Just choose any of the songs below to take a listen to both types of mixes cut together.
