No Sh*t!
I always wondered why so many were having issues with latency
and the automation editor.
Now I know!
I thought some of you guys were trying to automate the
attack portion of every hit of a snare track or something..

plug ins and instruments.
East west play Instruments
Vienna instruments
Probably some others just haven't tested em yet.

Hardware-
(these all work in 32 and 64 bit versions)
RME All HDSP and Fireface devices
MOTU PCI and Firewire
Lynx
UAD

(32 bit only)
Focusrite
Presonus
NI
Novation


The biggest gotcha on Vista 64 atm for the MIDI end of things is that MOTU are pretty much the only people making a USB midi device with 64bit driver support.

chrisl@adkproaudio.comHi,
I've done this system a bunch of times for people doing live recording.

http://www.adkproaudio.com/systems/saved_system.cfm?systemid =97&saved_id=14182

We have done systems with RME Multiface/Digiface express card setups, fireface 400/800, Motu firewire units, Yamaha N12, mackie Onyx so far.

The internal drive can easily record 26 tracks or 24bit 44.1/48k. Haven't tried to record more so far just because of the I/0 limit on the devices.
With the benchmarks the drive get you should be able to do 64 tracks @ 24bit 44.1/48. Can't

Yep. The line under the house was dodgy about 10 feet from the point. He

I've been happy with this for the pristine sound.
414eb / U87
Precision 8
Distressor

or this for some guts.
Shure SM7/CAD Vx2
Neve 3104 (with some 10k boosted)
Distressor

The Big-Er mic is looking like a $3000 expense.
Not inexpensive for me.

Looks interesting just the same though.

u want it back for
a particular session or project, just say the word. It has that fancy case
and everything. Easy to ship.

Once the Monx are done with this CD I'm back to working on my own stuff,
which is all beeps and blips and synth noises. No need for mics of any kind.
So the loverly sounding green and gold Claytor will just be sitting in a
closet, waiting for something to reproduce.

Really cool mic,

P.S. My second favorite guitar is my Les Paul gold top. I met the guy who
sold it to me some time around 1990. I sat in with his band one night, played
the guitar and said to him, 'If you

It does .ogg, .wav, .wma, and with external it can use Lame, FLAC

iTunes would not be my first choice as a DJ player that's for sure.
I use PCDJ but there are others that are equal too or better as I =

PCDJ rips very nicely too.

nch of MS Updates pertaining to security/internet, you'll use way less
system resources that way. WinXP Service Pack 1 is preferrable IMHO, but SP2
will work. And of course, point your browser to www.ensoniq.ca and buy all
the killer plugs. Be sure to set the path variable correctly for the new
plugs. Get Norton Ghost or Acronis True Image.

Get the system stable, do an image THEN add Paris to the equation. Install
it to C:\PARIS, not the default and you'll have less problems/things move
faster. Once it's all happy/together, do another separate system image.
But you probably already know all this....

Kerry, are you watching ? :)

Already got one. :o) I just hope that card isn't faulty and causing my current

Indeed, though it will double as a general purpose Linux box on dual boot,
so quite a few things will need to stay. LPT is always a prime candidate
for "OFF" these days though.

Well I've ordered 2 x 2GB. What I've ordered, including the 4GB bit, exactly
matches the specs crucial recommend, though they don't appear to speak in
brands, so I'm not sure there. If it's unstable I have a 1 x 512 pair from

Truepower. :o)

Nope. Only on the Linux boot. Windows is staying clean for Paris, though
I do like to load Wavelab as well.

Nice. I'll keep that in mind.

That's what I've been using, though it's getting hard to load it on new setups
I've found due to driver issues.

I've already got a bunch of those plugs and haven't heard a single one! If
I don't hear them soon, I'll... ;o)

I still have Ghost somewhere and it works for me. I want True Image though.

Yes, my last install didn't have this. Keen to try it. Thanks for the reminder.

Most of it. Never hurts to hear it again prior to an install, because there's
nothing more annoying than having to do it twice. ;o)

Thanks heaps for the rundown.

Kim.

Yes, once people get over the hump of "what if I break it?" or "I'm no
expert" and just start boldly entering data directly into the Wiki
themselves, I'll breathe a little sigh of relief and start getting on to
about ten other things I have queued to do :D It's got lots of people
registered so I'm confident the interest's there, it's just a matter of
getting over the hump.

Tom, I would use PCDJ but I am trying to get away from bringing a
computer on gigs so I bought a little Sansa RAM drive player, which I
hope will be robust (no moving drive parts) and which holds 4 gigs. If I
were DJing I would use PCDJ. The guy who started the company is a friend
of mine and a drummer who I sometimes play with.

Here, this is more like it.


George Bush, Vladimir Putin, Bill Gates, and Steve Jobs were called to an
island by an invitation that read, "very important meeting with God" - skeptical
as the 4 were, they all arrived per the instructions.

God informed them that he was very unhappy about what was going on in this
world. Since things were so bad, he told the three that he was destroying
the Earth in 3 days. They were all allowed to return to their homes and businesses,
and tell their friends and colleagues what was happening.

God told them that; no matter what they did; he was not changing His mind.

So. . .

Bush went in and told his staff, "I have good news and bad news for you.
First the good news . . . there IS a God. The bad news is that he is destroying
the Earth in 3 days."

Putin went back and told his staff, "I have bad news and more bad news. The
first is . . . there IS a God. The second is that he is destroying the Earth
in 3 days."

Gates went back and told his staff, "I have good news and good news. First
. . . God thinks I am one of the three most important people in the world.
Second . . . you don't have to fix the bugs in Windows XP or Vista."

Jobs went back and told his staff, "I have puzzling news and strange but
good news. First... apparently I'm not God. Second... God was wearing an
iPod engraved with iGod."

------=_NextPart_000_0015_01C8A923.1AAC0610--Hey Tom,

How would you compare PCDJ to the Traktor line? I use the NI stuff just sorta
because. And I wrote the (really horrible, sorry) manual to Traktor 2 so
I know it pretty well. Anyway, I'd be interested.

I have been working with Stylus RMX for a couple of weeks now as a potential
live DJ/improv/dub session tool. With the crossfader in Live it's the closest
I've ever been to getting that to work.

Cool toys are good,

>Hi Aaron,
That series of Xeons didn't work on standard single CPU mobos.
They also so ran very very very hot like all the older net burst based Intel chips did.

In the time period of that CPU AMD was/is a far better choice imho.
Of course like the p4 /Xeon CPUs they are all discontinued as well as the motherboards for them.

A NForce 3 chip set based AMD motherboard from Gigabyte or ASUS were I think the best option going back in that time.

I have a morbid curiosity to try Paris on a current motherboard but don't have access to the hardware anymore.
