I just converted a session from ProTools to Cubase. I had to convert the files from 24-bit (ProTools) to 32-bit (Cubase). Seems odd I’d have to “upgrade” my audio files to go from an insanely expensive and industry standard system costing thousands of bucks, in order to work with a program that retails for $799.
Do you have any idea how much of a headroom difference there is between 24-bit and 32-bit recording? It’s huge.
Steinberg’s Cubase and Nuendo can record 32-bit and they cost from $199-$2,000.
ProTools maxes out at 24-bit and can cost tens of thousands of $$$.
Reason #6 ProTools sucks? The cost per bit!
