Destructive editing, applying plugins etc all involve either resampling, dithering, etc and that introduces digital artifacts and like anything else to do with audio, the less of that the better because all of that is cumulative when mixing. One or two tracks out of 10 or 15 no problem but if it's all of them it might be. I also believe in most cases it's inaudible to anybody except a 16 year old with perfect hearing and his dog so for us who cares anyway.



Now, in a previous thread, I was told that onboard, plug in effects, are NON DESTRUCTIVE editing because they can be reversed by removing them from the track and the original will remain intact. So which is it? Destructive or non destructive?

I am using the new 1040XTRAEZ form this year. It has just 2 lines.
