1.) Give yourself some headroom... set a default template (if
you use them) so that all track channels are at, for example,
-6 or so, or simply remember to drop channels levels down as you
add them. Groups where you're using EFX on are ok to run at full
blast, since you probably won't be sending stuff to them that
hot anyway.

2.) Think "clean", not "HOT"... get your mind wrapped around

If you have the parts and only assemly is needed I can try one.
Whats the satus by the way ??
Very important to Paris interface.
Regards,
DimitriosI don't have the parts and the last time I tried to gcall the guy who does
(about a month ago) I received no answer and my message was not returned.
this was the thrid time I've tried to contact him in the last few months. I
don't know what's going on. I hope he's OK.

I can start raising faders and the more faders I raise, the more the mix
starts to collapse. I'm so used to just bringing up the faders and getting
my panning and levels in order before I do anything else. With the native
mix I'm wanting to start carving out space immediately. Now I'm not saying
that a bad thing really......I mean........it's a good thing to notice that
this needs to be done and I'm sure that doing it will open things up a lot,
but in Paris, there just doesn't seem to be this obvious necessity. Does
this mean that Paris isn't telling the truth or that there's something
different in the way it sum?. Well, BT mentioned this a long time ago and at
the time I had only heard this *collapsing* phenomena in a PT Mix system.
Native systems weren't really ready for prime time yet. Cubase sounds much
better than what I recalled from PT Mix (but it's been a while) uit I've got
say that it's so wierd that there is this big sonic difference in the way
the mix behaves between these two systems. Very different behaviour. I'm
honestly not trying or wanting to slag native systems.........there is just
this difference (that I was hoping I wouldn't notice so I wouldn' have to
learn anything ;o).

Now...........back to the mix.

DeejI find the same thing mixing in Nuendo... seems to be harder to get
the mix to gel. I even notice a difference while monitoring discrete
tracks through the DM2K... Sounds full and punchy, then I switch all
the Nuendo buses to a single mix 2bus and the mix "shrinks" sonically.
I haven't mixed with HD yet... should be interesting to hear the
difference.

I guess no one saw my post to DJ the other day, that is what paris is doing
behind the scenes. It is dipping individual tracks by 20+ DB and boosting
the master by 20+ DB all without you even knowing about it.

The individual track meters read the actual level, but that is *not* what
is getting summed at the master.

This is the only difference I can spot between all other designs I know about.
It's definitely why paris mixes 'gel' for DJ.

You can't, and don't need to push the individual channels in other systems.
Thad's advice was good too, put a brickwall across the master and boost
there!

ChuckDeej,

I think a big part of it is in the way you are used to working. Paris is obviously a much different and more forgiving beast in it's summing.

I'm composing in and tracking to P
