To be fair, a 3k boost or cut with EQ will be far more
audible than the differences between 24/96 or 24/48. |

theccchhhhhkkkkhhhhmaaah:

Yes, by now everyone knows that you don't have the slightest idea how decisions are made at the mastering level or in the recording process. And you never will. You're just too stupid. KSFNJU.

To minimise day to day differences, you leave the unit turned on overnight. The randomness you are referring to will give a different result every time you turn it on as if you had bought a new unit overnight. -- Tciao for Now! John. |

This means the only way to ensure continuity is to either put the computer to sleep or hibernate it with the DAW and plugins all open. Close the DAW program, and you get a newly randomised, set of plugins when you re-open it, unless you can disable the randomisation which sort of defeats the object. -- Tciao for Now! John. |
