but he said many Logic Users would not switch, and part of the reason is because for MIDI, logic is just more "automatic" and that those people are too stubborn and lazy to switch to a more superior pro tools. but he said that many MIDI users stick to logic, even though Pro Tools kept exponentially becoming far more advanced for audio, and took over as the industry standard. But then some member of the Audio Engineering Society told me not to listen to such misconceptions and misinformation and that although many of Logic's Midi navigation, setup, and functions seem more straightforward, he mentioned that starting at version 5 or 6 (i think one of those versions), that is when Pro Tools became an equal to Logic in MIDI. Is this why it sounds that much better? Are these proven facts?īut I also heard that Logic is the best for MIDI. And then I asked why is this so? And then other engineers said it is because digidesign has the best algorithms for sound. And I am not even talking about Pro Tools HD - just LE - the sound seems "big" as all the pro tools users say.

Correct me if I am wrong, but as an impartial observer, i have noticed this brilliance in the sound and realized that the person who told me this could have a valid point. Would it be a good idea? or a waste of time? I was told by engineers that Pro Tools has the most brilliant sound quality. Checking various settings to see if they influenced results took around 1 hour.I am a Pro Tools user since that is the only DAW they taught at 2 technical institutions I attended., but I was thinking of learning Logic too since there are alot of logic users, especially in the MIDI world.Processing the results and writing the article took around 30 minutes.Testing Ardour was pleasant and took approximately 16 minutes.This puts Ardour firmly in the “Excellent result” camp at buffers lower than 128 samples.64 samples performs excellent, slightly more at 256, significantly more at 1024. Ardour’s total latency is good at lower buffer sizes, but becomes exponentially worse with larger buffer sizes.A reader pointed out that this is possibly a round/floor issue after some division when determining which sample a MIDI event aligns with.Like Ableton Live - Ardour has about 4 samples of constant jitter at all settings (including what’s not displayed here).Ardour has near-zero MIDI input jitter.Here is a csv of all the data, including the config files used to plot it using deltafinder. Your browser does not support the video tag. Do the tests yourself, or at least double check my data. Reminder, don’t trust dweebs on the internet. I thoroughly enjoyed using Ardour in every aspect of setting up this test. This is an important setting that nearly every other DAW: doesn’t let you set, doesn’t automatically set correctly, or has a test function that gives incorrect results. Unrelated to this test, but Ardour/Mixbus’s Audio Calibration system is the best in any DAW.

I suspect the difference between the test results and Audio->Audio result is the MIDI subsystem and/or the device MIDI latency.
