Hi, When i bounce a couple of tracks down in LAP 4.0 (or any earlier version) the resulting wav file sounds very different from what I was hearing. Why is that? I would have thought , given that digital is numbers, that Logic should be able to take whatever numbers the sound card is playing before i bounce down and write them to the file. Then when it plays back the new file it should sound exactly the same. Instead it seems to write somthing very different. Unfortunately the bounced file does not sound as good. It generally loses heaps of warmth and overall frequency response. Is there a workaround? Is this one of those things to compare different software on? Is the way audio software bounces down always goingg to be individual to that bit of code - just like the difference between pianos from different manufaturers or something? cheers paul francis PS system is (gulp) PC 300(cyrix), 64MB, win95, partitioned 5.5GB Fireball, audiowerk 8
