Jay,

I've been syncing Cubase SX 2.02 and Paris together lately with Paris as
master DAW sending ADAT sync to the Cubase rig, then returning the Cubase
stems to Paris via lightpipe. Sort of a *doubleDAW*. Works amazingly well
for taking advantage of flexible gain staging in Paris. Sort of like having
a monster digital 2bus with none of the A/D distortion that might occur if
you were doing this analog and with the added advantage of the Paris onboard
DSP. Some of the new proprietary plugins that are being developed for the
Paris onboard DSP chips are amazing and if the tracks are properly grouped
in Cubase SX and the stems bussed to Paris, this scenario also solves the
latency issues regarding UAD-1.

Life is good.

So, it would be fair to say that your opinion is that using the same
tracks
with any of these recorders, you will get about the same sound quality
from
each. I was under the impression that each of these packages had a
distinct
sound.

Actually, as I recall, with the exception of Paris, all sound so
identical as to be indistinguishable, and some actually have bit-
identical mixes using the same settings. Check out the "3D DAW-SUM
Comparison":

IIRC, Paris actually has some intentional soft-limiting in it that makes
it sound more analog. The rest do pure mathematically-perfect mixing,
modulo floating-point vs. fixed point, math resolution, dither, etc.
