Harsh sounding PT10 vs other DAWs

Sound quality PT10.3.10 vs other DAWs.....struggling to get a nice warm female vocal sound in PT, I tried as an experiment recording in Garageband and Wavelab 7 instead. In comparison PT (clean install) cold and harsh.....Garageband and Wavelab very warm. Has anyone else found PT to be harsh and cold? MacPro Intel Xeon, Snow Leopard, RME HDSP9562, RME ADI-8.
