Macavity224 Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Problem: I live in an apartment and can't mic up a cab or a drum set for recording, so I typically use Guitar Rig and Addictive Drums. I have a desktop that isn't very portable. However, I have a laptop that's a couple of years old, but can't run Logic very well (I've tried already). If I used the same interface, same sample rate, same mics, etc., but recorded it in Garageband, would there be a significant difference in the quality of the recording? I would export the files later onto my desktop and edit them there in Logic...so my main question is, will the software affect the quality of the recording?

(...) will the software affect the quality of the recording? No, the software makes NO difference whatsoever in the quality of the recording. When recording audio, a DAW has the "dumb" task (no thinking required) of taking a stream of zeroes and ones coming from your A/D converters and storing those zeroes and ones in an audio file. Therefore the DAW has no effect on the quality of the recording. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
