Mixing capabilities of Vegas v.s. Cubase compared here

Nat wrote on 8/8/2002, 3:30 PM
A few weeks ago I read a post on this forum telling the routing and the mixing was better in Cubase, sound quality wise.
I just tested this using both Vegas 3.0 and Cubase SX.

I mixed a 10 track song in both Vegas and Cubase with the exact same plugins, settings etc.

I can say there is not much any differences between the mixes, the quality of the Vegas mix is equal to the Cubase one.

Any comments on this, opinons ?

I posted the 2 mixes for you to hear, tell me your comments

The strange thing is that the master volume in Vegas was set to -4.2db and for Cubase to sound at the same level I had to place it at 0db in Cubase.
Here is the adress :

the files are named vegmix.wav and cubmix.wav

By the way, what to you think of the mix by itself, is it good ? I'm a neophyte mixer so I'm wondering.

Thanks

I wonder if you had to change volumes based on different pan laws?

Is anything panned?

Can you possibly do the panning in an external 2 track app ( as in make that track a stereo file) ?

I would like to hear the differences in the mix engines, if EVERYTHING would work set to zero, or at the most, just volume changes, no panning
Maybe you could turn the files DOWN in a 2 track editor and then we could hear them with both apps totally zeroed out!

Right now the vegas mix sounds WAY clearer and snappier to me, but that may be because of those volume changes you speak of

Everything is panned exactely the same in both mixes.
I don't think the volumes not being the same advantages one app over the other.
When they were set to the same volume (-4.2Db) it sounded the same, it was just a bit quieter.

They may be panned the same but is the pan LAW the same ?
