Different Software And VST Plug-Ins
Once you get the hang of it, they're quite similar. Especially since many are made not to color the sound. The differences then may be the host they are in (ie. Sonar having a 64 bit float bus vs. the 32 float or 24 / 48 fixed integer bus others have. Does it make a difference? I compared old work done in Sonar prior to the 64 bit bus. I did hear a difference fx vst. Though not as great a difference as I hear when comparing sample rates (ie. 44.1 or 48 khz vs. 88.2 or 96 khz). The main thing is headroom, you can go hotter and experience less distortion. It improves sound, but also becomes something you quickly get used to. It's nice to just set and not worry about distortion at the plug in's output. I have heard this, and it's not pretty. You heard me mention Sonar, you'll hear a lot of that in the future.
