Hi,
There is a distinct audio difference quality from audio quality inside cubase and exported wav or aiff,
This should be made more transparent before purchase.
Please don’t try to say otherwise if you have a 1500£ plus audio interface you have far better convertors that’s why you don’t notice any difference.
If you are like myself and have a 300£ zoom or suchlike as many others do your ears are not misleading you and it is what it is.
It is a unfortunate irk much like the saturation like hiss when you start pushing 40 channels or so nothing on your master bus minimal saturation in the mix but it’s hissing on the master bus.
Irks that can be lived with however at some point what is the cost to fix them and I will admit it does say professional software so you really then need a professional interface with high end converters for professional sound.
So does anyone here have a high quality interface that they could recommend and at what price point do you have to go to to get a solution to these irks
And if you do purchase a said higher end audio interface do these issues disappear?
thanks

If done correctly there is no difference inside Cubase and exported wav. Not with a cheap interface, nor with a high end interface. And no, the “issues” do not disappear with higher end Audio interface, if the Basics are done wrong.
