How about an EQ that is a model of a vintage analog unit in Cubase vs. a
simple filter in Logic?

What? and you think they did that? Just because the process was not
written to your specifications?

I think you are missing the point. I don't think they intentionally picked a
particular EQs to make one side look good. What I'm saying is... where is
the line? These plugins -will- be of differing quality. How far apart in
quality do they have to be before the performance comparison doesn't really
mean anything to anyone? I'm just asking you to answer that question.

-S

See, you seem (to me anyway) to be reading into it too much. What
about powered monitor shoot outs? 2 sets, all same signal chain up to
cable tip, same room etc.. but wait, one has xover electronics made in
Korea, the other in China but both are european manufactured,......
WTF!!!! Also, cant make a valid comparison because each used different
brand solder.....WTF!!!!

Whats this world coming to??

I really don't care about G5/P4/AMD.... All are very strong nowadays
easily surpass the cpu's of 5 yrs ago...and them some.

My thoughts on the ad were that is was written for the Apple/Mac/G4
crowd and not really meant for pc users (or non-crossplatform
software) or to be interpeted as a Intel vs G5 "Benchmark"....Like I
said before, they didn't use "PLUGINS" they used 2 DAW's, one -
CubasePC; one - MAc Logic; Mixed comperable Native FX from each
program and ......well showed the results.

No, Not a perfect test in the least.....But....also easily seen to be
invalid as a true "benchmarking" test. Seems to be directed to the
CubasePC users who are looking to crossgrade thier systems to
Logic......Apple does own Logic now right?

Actually. I'd like to see a Benchmark comparison using:
1) G5/Nuendo w/native fx
2) PC/Nuendo w/native fx
3) G5/Nuendo w/waves fx
4) PC/Nuendo w/waves fx

Take one to it's limit then try it with the other....I allways figured
this type of testing to be done after product is released, by some
nuetral party and it isnt released for that yet is it?
