Ryan Tedder has a course on the website Monthly and in his intro he talked about using PT and Ableton. He said he likes Logic and the only reason he stopped using it was that he just couldn't get his bounces to hit as has hard as he could in PT, where 'it would just slam... it sounded more competitive , more urgent, more energy, it hit harder." He mentions the team in Apple consulting with him and 'I'm still a massive fan of Logic, I'm a massive fan of working in it. ...no matter how many times they called me to help me. ...I just couldn't get it to sound as good.'
I'm a Logic fanboy, it does everything I need and I'm not worried about my bounces. However, I've never A>B'ed between LP and PT and it seems like Ryan has. In the world of song pitching, every 0.5% you can be better than others is important as it's so competitive.
There are so many possible things that can change things, from gain staging to bit rate, but we have to presume he knows all these things and would have gone through them with his team and/or Apple. Maybe he was using a native PT plugin whacked up to 11 that couldn't be replicated. Maybe he was on a project with a deadline and gave up before actually finding the simple solution. And I'm sure there are other high level pros that say Logic has better bounces than Pro Tools. Either way, it's interesting...
Has anyone come across this elsewhere?
