I am in the process of crossgrading from Sonar to Samplitude 7.xx. I hear good things about the 'sound ' of Samplitude and was: 1.] wondering what peoples opinions are regarding percieved differences in sound quality from one audio software to another, and 2.] do the algorythms in the audio software affect the quality of sound produced by plugin fx?

I was reading an article about Micing choirs and the writer advised that normal 3 prong XLR cables were insufficient for live recordings due to length of run and height of microphones. The danger was picking up radio broadcasts with suspended or elevated mics. He advised that only star quad cables be used - 4 conductors plus a braided shield.

If so what are your opinions of it? Most importantly, how does it sound?

What's some of your opinions about the quality of some pluginsthat come packaged with your host software. The reason I asked is because I have tried a few of these and was surprised when I'd A/B them for use on a audio track. The quality of the pluginsthat came with the program was less appealing than the ones that I paid for. Has this been the case with some other programs?

Well being that I'm a Pro Tools HD user I'm not going to see that plug untill its released as the TDM version, so has anyone used this for the UAD, really anxious to hear how it sounds or perhaps even a short audio clip of a processed and unprocesed clip. Also another on the waiting list. have anyone used the cambridge
EQ yet any comments on it?

I need a good Sonograph or Sonogram VST or DX plugin for Wavelab. I know about the one from Steinberg for their mastering edition but I was wondering if anyone knew of another one on the net. Thanks in advance for any assistance in this matter. Cross posted to the Wavelab forum.

I just upgraded to WINXP PRO in order to upgrade to Sound Forge 7.0. I installed my Steinberg Mastering Edition Direct X plugins and Sound Forge didn't recognize them. I even tried copying them into the Sound Forge Plugin folder and it still didn't recognize them.

I know most of you in here use Pro-Tools. But what other platforms are comparable, if any? And what DSP pluginsare the best?
Ive recently looked into Creamware, TC Powercore, and Logic products. The possibilities seem endless.
So I put it to you all, the, "big boys."
I love this site and must say I'm addicted.
Any and all feedback is appreciated.

Anyone know if logic comes with a drum trigger plugin , or if there is a good one for sale.
