Are there more stages of compression-limiting in the mixer than we knew about? Even if you’re below -10dBFS at every point in the mixer, is it still possibly doing something to the dynamics somewhere? I turn off the master and main FX limiters, btw. This dry, over-damped, lack of air quality it has is like it’s not even running at 16bit dynamic range on the mixer, is being robbed of decay, and is also being pushed through a tiny pin hole. Add to that the sound of the players laced with 100X inter-modulation distortion of original signal and like they’re running at only 32khz for 44.1khz files (-3dB down at about 16khz) and 44.1khz for 96khz files (-3dB down at 20khz), and that’s enough combination of sonic degradation for most people to finally start hearing inadequacies compared to other gear. To me, the whole Prime system with lossless files sounds as bad or worse than playing lossy files on the competition.
