![]() They frequencies sit more comfortably, the mix is balanced, and the overall song is more clear.Ĭan there be any explanation to this? Is there audio processing in Cubase that I don't know about? Are the Cubase plugins just better? Perhaps it's an odd question, but I've been working in Logic and Cubase for years now, and my tracks produced in Cubase are always received better and sound better. There is definitely a psychology to the perceiving of music and sound. when I got around to buying it, it sounded so wimpy, on my home studio set-up I couldn't believe this huge hit sounded so flat. Several years ago, Outkasts 'Hey Ya', sounded so amazing in the clubs. And I DEFINETLY know I cannot be in a strong emotional state when I audition my final mixes, cause somedays a song sounds great, and a few days later, all I hear is a myriad of 'flaws' that need to be corrected. I myself have gone thru a lot of hardware changes, speakers, amps, outboard mixers etc. I have heard thru the years with various versions of Logic that sound quality has changed. (does the price have something to do with it?). I've heard many producers say Pro-tools or Nuendo sounds better than Logic. If you really feel that way, I suggest a lot of A/B ing and finding the answer for yourself. Your observation is a just one (unless you just felt like posting this to get a 'raise' out people). But they had a great recording engineer, a brilliant arrangement (write the right parts to avoid audio mud). Especially when you consider how 'primitive' the electronics were then. This must have been recorded in the 50's. Once in a while I always go back on Youtube and listen to 'Little Darlin' by the Diamonds. It's a very careful 'audio juggling' act, to get the best sound. Some parts have to be be EQ'd, limited, compressed etc. If you're recording real bands, then decisions have to be made on the sound of the real instruments themselves. This actually makes the final job much easier. I try different drum samples, bass, kbd parts. I begin the careful process of assigning exact sounds to the instruments. I like to leave my productions in MIDI form as long as possible, then when all voices and real acoustic sounds are added (really very few for me). By critical listening and learning, you begin to notice way more subtle things. Mixing and mastering is an art form in itself. and the EQ curve changes with the volume of the sound we hear. ![]() Our hearing itself, is anything but flat. the ending music is much bassier than the opening music, I'm very surprised, it gets released that way. I play a lot of movies on my studio set-up and there is noticeable difference in the music. I worked at a nightclub in NYC for many years, and it would be amazing how horrible sounding (acoustically, not astethlcally) some songs would song as the DJ went thru the song list. ![]() ![]() The productions and arrangements, have a lot to do with the sound. Perhaps you can take your mixes, of same song done on both DAWS as a test and listen to them at these places where one DAW production sounds better than the other. I have a brilliant sound engineer friend, who never ceases to berate me when he comes to visit, because they sound like such crap. Same with speakers, I love my Genelecs 8040's. Then I'll read some big name producers swear only by Logic's plug-ins. I'm mesmerized by some 3rd party plug-ins Slate Digital, Pro Opto Max, IZoZone, and I swear they sound much better than Logics. I would take a commercial CD mix and put in both DAWS and play around with plug-ins till I found what I felt made the difference. If that failed, you just turned off the Dolby A to get a nice biting hissy EDM sound. Back in the 'olden dayz' I used to do play my analog 24 tape mix hundreds and hundreds of times, to get that pesky high end off. Put the mix down in endless loop for at least 40 hours, and let it ferment. You got to let your Logic productions simmer.
