>Hmmm, yeah, I suppose that's kinda lame... first I post and
say, "hey, here's my new CD done entirely in Paris". Then 2
seconds later, "yeah, I'm thinking of dumping Paris...."

But, you know, I'm just curious, 98% chance I'm just going to
stick with Paris.

I think it's cool that so many have switched but still hang out here! And,
I think it's interesting (as a Paris user) to find
out what other former Paris users find better.

I wonder if anyone switched but switched back?

Like what? Please fill me in.

Thanks a lot Dedric.Went from a mixed PARIS/SX environment to SX/Live. The feature bump was great,
esp faster than real time rendering, VSTi freezing, etc. Have been very happy
since dropping PARIS but mostly because I'm not a 'rocker' really anymore.
I do pretty much all electronic music and I think the 'hi-fi' sound of native
apps might work a little better in SX than in PARIS.

That said, I'm playing in a power pop and right now and I would wuv that
big PARIS crunchiness for that material.

And always remember, it's the golfer not the clubs . . .

9 iron, things tend to suck no matter what :)

recorded there. the only thing that is now
helping out is the new/old ('75) soundcraft B200 sidecar recently
added. it was modded by the same people that did the beetles
200...nice sound.

Drums and percussion that are tuned in a manner that is harmonically related
to the root of the song can help with the “polished factor”. Generally, I
will listen for clashes and only change pitches if I notice a problem, but
if I am doing drum replacement I will give pitch some consideration.
GeneI'll go $25 for each EDS card :-)

Gary,
Are you selling IRQs with the eds cards too?
That would make it an even better bargain!
