you tested Voxengo Elephant2? I tested it against the limiter plugins I
have(not the UAD1) and I was really surprised with the 8 different limiting
modes it have for different types of music. I have allways had problems to
limit long soft tones enough to get a punchy mix but with some tweakings in
the EL-3 mode, I really got the gain boost transparent, smooth and fat with
all the details intact. There was only one thing that was missing. It was
thining out the sound a little bit, as all limiters seems to do, so I used a
VST eq. before the limiter
and boosted 60 to 300 hrtz a little bit up. And then my old ears get my soul
happy:-)

Sorry for the recent lurking, BTW. Since I haven't been here in a bit, I should wish everyone a

"bad info" that we don't "wish" to hear. I remember our basplayer in the
early sixties. He had build a Heatkit amplifier-set(I believe it was only 10
watts) that he used on all concerts we had for three years, to feed two
twelve inches SEAS speakers. It costed him nearly nothing and sounded really
wonderful with his Fender Jazzbas. When playing places with over thousand on
the dancing floor, no one had problems to hear him. All the speaker stuff we
used in the sixties and seventies was homemade, for the most with English
and Danish speakers that we get imported, just to save big money.

I'm just glad I could help. With all the huge brains that hang out here I
learn a lot more than I know. I'm glad it's working out for you.

Tony Chris & Gene,
Tony, my client is using your technique from now on in DP.
Thanks for the heads up there. Wavelab was able to
batch process all the files into 16 bit PAFs. That was
good except some were stereo (I told him mono) which Paris didn't
recognize. I ended up running those through Stripwav
and those worked fine too. I wonder if I even needed to
use Wavelab for this? It took a little longer than Stripwav.
All in all everything is rosy again over here thanks to you guys.
I hope I can pay you all back some day.

Before exporting my DP files I use the "freeze" function. It works
basically
like the render function in PARIS, except it actually renders all VST
inserts also. That way, all my DP files start at zero and are contiguous
from beginning to end. No timing problems that way. Make sure your friend
has auto latency compensation turned on in DP also. After the files are
"frozen", he can select them in the soundbites browser and select "export
as", etc.,etc. When you bring the files into PARIS, make sure you use the
time lock tool or pull all the files to the very beginning of the time
line.
Should work fine.

Tony,
Your technique worked great combined with
Gene's Wavelab batch processing idea. We
are still sussing out the Toast issues to know
just why it created such a problem.
Now we are having timing issues. My client
suggests that he thinks merging files in DP is the
only way to get timing correct. Does that
sound right?

Tom,
Have your friend try to burn a disc directly from the finder. On
Panther,
all he needs to do is insert a recordable cd into the internal drive.
The
cd
will come up on his desktop. Drag the files to the cd icon (it might
take
a
while for the files to copy over to the disc image). When done, double
click
the cd icon and click "Burn" on the upper right of the cd window. Maybe
Toast is doing something screwy? I quit using it because of some
troubles,
but that was a few years ago.
Will the files from the disc he burned import back into DP? I mean are
the
burned files valid on his Mac? If so, and you can't get this fixed, mail
me
the disc and I'll see if I can batch convert them for you. Let me know
if
I
can help.

After every disk (we've burned over ten now) none of them
sounded audio or showed an overview.
I'm still trying everything in my power but I think the
clients software is what's holding us back. He's
using Panther/newest DP and newest Toast programs
on a G4 laptop.
Can someone sus out my Wavelab problem? I have an
original 3.01 disk with a 3.03 patch disk too. Neither
will allow it to start up in XP. Is this version just too old?
When starting Wavelab it gets into the program then stops
instantly with: "This application has failed to start because
HypGui.dll was not found. Reinstalling the application may
fix this problem." Needless to say it didn't.
What is the solution?
I haven't been frustrated in a long time. This is taking the cake.
TIA,
TomThere is much less difference between the sound of preamps than there is the
sound of microphones. On the 3D audio shootout, some of the less expensive
preamps stood up well against the more expensive variety. the differences
really come to light when pairing them with different mics or DI sources and
different situations involving source proximity. If a preamp doesn't have
headroom issues or noise issues, then, to me, preamps are a bit like
EQ's.and learning which preamps will work best with which mic on a given
source is the secret to getting your money's worth if you're spending big
money.
What's different about this preamp, to my ears, is it's smoothness and high
gain caabilities. It's also got a line in/out so that it can be strapped
across a mix bus. I'm going to experiment with it in this way inserted
pre-NoLimit.
Sould be inteesting.

------=_NextPart_000_012C_01C62279.5CF2C8C0--Now we're going to 32, 48,
or 64bit files!!!??? I know the arguments, but is it really necessary?
I'm saying, striving for perfection is Ok as long as it makes sense. You've
got to weigh out things like cost and necessity.
I'm mixing a project right now2 with 15 external processors (AD/DA's) in the
mix. Sounds great. A couple of the processors are older (one has 20 bit
converters, the other 18 bit). the mix is being streamed from a 32 bit
floating point system through 20 bit Paris ligitpipe. Is it state of the art
digital resolution??......not in a million years. Does it sound
good???......yep! It sounds just like I want it to sound.
Wayyyyyyy too much hype these days. I have quit sweating this stuff

>Audio files, not so much, but with processing there are potential (and often
debated) gains from greater bit depths. I read another review of Sonar 5
that stated users are reporting better handling of higher track counts (yes,
you may be right Lamont). That could be the same "report" being quoted by
different reviewers, but with VST 2.4 going to 64-bit, and, as I am
guessing, if Nuendo (and other native DAWs) goes full 64-bit this spring, we
may start to find out how much of a benefit there is.
I don't have any plans to start recording to 64-bit files, but I wouldn't
mind being able to send a 32-bit float file to mastering instead of 24.
What will benefit? - clarity for widely dynamic recordings - classical,
maybe jazz or acoustic where you are capturing a stellar space with some of
the best converters and mics on the market. Other than that, you just have
extra bits.
When we are all recording to 128-bit at 1Mhz sampling rates some day we may
either look back and say "wow, 16/44.1k sucked", or "man this new gear was a
big waste of time..." ;-)

I was working on a mix that has, of course, already been delivered to the
client, wishing I had owned Drumagog at that time. Oh well, at least the
clint was happy.
Mu initial impression is that Drumagog rocks!
After I realized the reason I couldn't find the .dll files in WIN 98 was
that they were "hidden", all was cool.
The Spin Audio wrapper seems to work well.
Thanks to all for your help. I mostly lurk here, and have picked up an immense
amount of valuable information over the last few years.
I'm off for 2 weeks vacation on Saturday. Definitely need a break. Some time
in the Caribbean is just what the doctor ordered. Then back to the grind.
All the best,
Paulinstalled 10.4.3 (new install with zeroing out the drive as usual).
twice after leaving the puter idling with logic 7.1.1 up for less than
1 hour the gray screen (with the in 7 languages appeared with the
message of you must do a hard restart) has appeared. then a complete
power down (computer just shut off in the midst of running on a loop);
calendar (set itself to 4/15/1968) needed to be reset on reboot.
nothing else shut down so it wasn't a power issue from outside the
mac. ideas?tom...dude...happy is relative...and if there are no relatives around
then of course happiness ensues.

Cheers,
Kim.Turn off all energy saver stuff. Go to system preferences, energy saver,
unlock it if necessary, set sleep options to Never. Then lock it be fore
closing the window.

Original question with solutions below:
Q: Can someone sus out my Wavelab problem? I have an
original 3.01 disk with a 3.03 patch disk too. Neither
will allow it to start up in XP. Is this version just too old?
When starting Wavelab it gets into the program then stops
instantly with: "This application has failed to start because
HypGui.dll was not found. Reinstalling the application may
fix this problem." Needless to say it didn't.
What is the solution?
Answer from Chris Ludwig:
HI Tom,
Do you have any third party VST plug ins?
If so move the VST plug ins directory. Usually it will be C:/Program=20
Files/Steinberg/VStplugins. Drag the whole directory to you desktop and=20
see if it starts.
Chris
Answer from Steinberg:
Hi Tom,=20
Looks like you will need to upgrade to WaveLab 6. It has just been =
announced and will be shipping in the middle of next month. The upgrade =
will cost $299.99, and will also requre the purchase of a $30 Steinberg =
Key if you don't already have one from a different Steinberg product
Regards,
The Steinberg Users.com team
www.steinbergupgrades.com
Chris solved the problem in twelve hours and it probably took him one =
minute. I waited three days for Steinberg's solution which is not =
acceptable.
I'm not sure why I ever ask tech support for anything these days. =
Thanks again Chris for knowing it all. We all should give you our =
business!

Mind you you don't get much of blimey teddy these days, or stone the crows,
or, in fact, strewth all that often. Strewth would be the most used.
Personally I like to make as much use as I can of Aussie slang. ;o) Hence
my standard response to "How ya goin'?" which is "Yeh, not too shabby mate...".
;o)

>Man I wish we could track using plugs on the inserts in Paris.
I was watching the Charles Dye "Mix It Like a Pro" DVD samples and one his
lessons deals with "tracking" with tracking plugins or better analog channel
plugs. He stated that if you track with a analog tracking plugin and then
have that same plugin on the mix bus, this will give you the same kind of
harmonic distortion we like with mixing and tracking on a analog console.
So, with these new Waves(SSL G/E series) channel strips & Mix buss Conmpressor(Which
I'm very familiar with) using the Charles Dye example (above) would yeild
some amazing results not only in Paris, but any DAW(Logic, SX/Nuendo,DP,
PT, Sonar,and Samplitude.)
Note: A friend of in myarea uses Samplitude 8.X and I have to say, that Samplitude
has to be one thee best sounding DAW's I've rean across. Blew me away!!

would be of good quality also. It seems everyone is adding firewire and
including Cubase (or some other app) , Mackie and Alesis did too... so mixers
are going dual purpose.

To me this really product is not much news, and if it were any other two
companies it wouldn't even be news at all. As I said before, DSP systems
are there for people who are willing to pay the big bucks to track with almost
no latency. Native systems are for everyone else. This is just a PCI-E native
system. That matters to Apple because the reports are that their next series
of desktops won't have anything but PCI-E slots.
As far as the "grand strategy" stuff, and if Apple is threatening Digi or
whatever. Think for a minute about how much money Apple makes from people
who make music on Macs. Then think about how much money they make from people
who buy iPods and download from iTunes. Then think about the fact that Jobs
is on the board at Disney and the new iPods do video. Do you think Apple
*as a company* is fundamentally concerned with pro audio users? Would they
like to make money there? Sure. But would they trade 10% more of the pro
audio market for 10% of the MP3 player market? I wouldn't think so.
Thus, to me this is a very nice, and probably very expensive, native system.
Not fundamentally different than a very nice RME system on either platform.

>Interesting developments..Wow...Hi Tom,
The HypGui.dll file is part of the UAD plug ins. MOre than likely if you
put all the plug ins but those back in the directory Wavelab will work.
Wavelab 3 will also freak out with VSTi also. You might try making a new
VST folder and copying the plug ins that work into that and point
Wavelab to that one. I'm not sure what version of the driver you are
using but I know some older version had trouble with Wavelab in general.
FYI the HypGUI.dll is by Hyperactive Audio Systems Inc. which is one of
the main UAD guys companies.
PS: The upgrade to Wavelab 6 will be a very good one by the way...:)

Apple usually gives third parties their space and support to develop products.
Maybe they figure that their are plenty of options out there already. There's
T.C. electronic, CreamWare, UA, lexicon, Receptor,and another DSP box I can't
think of the name of. You ask what it means, it means, a DSP mixer router
will free up lots of CPU horsepower for lots of plugins. My guess is Apple
is planning a quad dual core machine, that's 8 processors! Think July 2006-2007.
Of corse, I'm speculating.

I think it's news in the audio world any time Apogee comes out with a new
product. Apogee is significant, their converters are a professional industry
standard. Converters are subjective.

I don't think it's that cut and dry. I don't think it's this part of Apple's
business vs. another part of their business. I think Apple is serious about
pro Audio. The apogee thing is an example of it, and I think there will
be more to come. I don't think Apple will fire Digi, I think it would take
Digi firing Apple to really get stuff started.

Was this a one time occurrence or do kernel panics (grey screen) happen with
any specific application open, or at random? Do you still have the original
RAM or have you added any?
We've been having random kernel panics and lockups on our dual G4 for over a
year (sitting idle, typing email, doesn't matter). Reinstalled the OS twice
(the second time crashes had tanked the system drive, so that's been
replaced); tried different RAM; removed peripheral devices, etc. We don't
have energy saver running here either.
The only new advice I've gotten from Apple's forum is to replace the PRAM
battery. Seems like a long shot as I'm guessing we have a bad logic board,
but at $700 I'm not wanting to replace that just to find out.
10.2.8 here, btw. 10.4.x is supposed to be more stable so you should be
okay there.
Regards,
Dedric

Absolutely, that's what I was saying. If PreSonus and Hewlett-Packard had
announced a deal nobody would be all that thrilled. Becuase it's Apple and
Apogee somehow it's a bigger news story. Which is fine, bully for them, I
was just pointing out that this "story" has longer legs because of the two
companies involved.

I certainly don't think Apple WANTS people to quit using them for audio,
and I don't expect Digi will move anywhere. However, LaMont was asking a
question about "what does this mean for the DAW world" and that necessarily
involves other companies.
What I find most interesting is not the Apple vs. PC vs. Digi vs. Native
or whatever else, but why everyone hates Digi so much. To be perfectly honest
I think a healthy amount of that is jealousy. No matter what most of us say,
given the choice between a massively tricked out PT rig with lots of I/O
and DSP f/x and the bestest bestest native system out there (or even the
best PARIS system out there), nearly all of us would have a sudden change
of faith and take the Digi hardware. Even I would and I'm much more of a
synth/sample guy than a rock'n'roll guy. So that's reason #1. I think reason
#2 is there is a perception that Digi uses its place as a "niche monopolist"
to abuse their customers, price gouge, and generally behave badly. In its
time PARIS was a fantastic competitor to PT because it was cheaper, looked
better, and sounded better. It didn't become a truly viable competitor to
PT for a bunch of reasons that have been hashed out here ad infinitum, but
include the cratering of Ensoniq, the later cratering of E-mu, the fact that
St. Croix was a 24 carat arrogant ass at times, increased usability of cheaper
native systems, and so on.
But what I think people like LaMont are looking for is not Digi getting knocked
off the throne or Apple owning the DAW market, but for Digi to have at least
one competitor with deep pockets and quality products to at least make Digi
behave better. Here's the thing--I don't think that competitor is going to
come along. It would be too hard a market to break (PARIS being an example
where a similar product superior in many ways never really made a dent) and
most people with the money to own big PT rigs don't really want to change
all that much even if they do whine about Digi sometimes. So, I think the
long term threat to Digi is the simple erosion of their customter base by
faster, cheaper, and better native systems. But for the sake of LaMont (and
others) I hope I'm wrong and someone is tinkering away right now on a really
super DSP system that will sell for $2k and really do something special.

eliminating sample rate errors and clipping errors a bit more efficiently.
I just got off the phone with Steiny sales. The upgrade price from WLv5 to
WLv6 is $199.00 US.
If it does what I'm hoping, the update would pay for itself in about 30
minutes.

Austin, TXreseat the EDS card, remove, clean and reseat the daughterboard, reseat

I totally agree with you! I think that is part of the reason some people
don't like Apple, it's the high prices and thus perceived arrogance.
In the past I've always looked at Apple Hardware kind of like aircraft parts.
If you compared aircraft parts to auto parts, the aircraft parts cost a
lot more because they make a lot less of them and they use more expensive
materials. There kind of like custom made parts. If you take the G5 case
as an example, the case is made out of aluminum. All the bends and all the
little holes cost time and more money to manufacture. It's hard to find
a flaw on those cases, and you'll never find a burr. There not cheap to
manufacture, and the quality is high, it's part of their wow factor. PowerBooks
were made of of titanium, not everybody needs or wants that. I guess it's
different ways of looking at things. I'd sure like to see cheaper Macs.
Yes I would take a free fully loaded PT HD 192 system, but one factor is
because they are now on par with Paris sound wise.
James
P.S. I'd also like to see a reasonably priced integrated super DAW!

I have a fairly new Seagate 120G drive that I used on one small project and
I tried mounting it on an older Win98 computer, only to find out it was
NTFS. In the past I've always formatted my record drives to FAT32, just
just to be consistant with my projects prior to running Paris on XP. Back
in the day I used to format new drives in DOS using the format Z/64 command
to create specific sector sizes. Now that disk formatting has become so
simplified, its easy to not know how the drives are formatted. The Seagate
software does not even offer the option to reformat this drive as FAT32
(only FAT16 or NTFS). It does offer byte sizes from 512 to 4K for NTFS.
What really offers the best performance for Paris these days?

You got that right. Although I have owned and used Cubase since 1988, and
despite wanting all the nice things that the Yamaha purchase of Steiny will
probably yield, once I tried Sam there was no going back. Damn.
I hope it really catches on in the US.

I think I recall having this problem before on one of my Macs.
I believe that the solution was a PRAM reset. As I recall, the previous power
saver settings were "remembered" by the PRAM and the new settings did not
take effect.
Cmd-Option-P-R (Yes, you must hold them all down together) after a restart
will clear the PRAM. You MUST hold all four keys down simultaneously and
wait for the "chime". I'd recommend holding down until you hear three or
four chimes before releasing the keys and allowing your machine to boot.
Hope this helps!

>>32k clusters. ntfs is considered marginaly better on many web sites.
you can use partition magic (and there's a free one out there too) to do
either fat32 or ntfs with 32k clusters. 32k will make your drive
effectively smaller so some recommend making 20gb of 32k for your song
and the other 100 for move the song over to when done. that way you get
the speed of a big cluster for the 20gb and the efficiency of say 4k
clusters on the 100gb part.

>How to report errors to ID:
=================================
1) Generate application messages with this occurring and send me the app
messages file? The procedure for this is below:
Win9x:
- Right click on PARIS app icon to get menu,
- Click with left button on open, but don't let go,
- Hold down control and alt,
- Let go (launch),
- When you see the window at the bottom of the screen you can let go of
alt/control.
After you produce the problem quit PARIS. You will see a file named
"AppMessages.txt" in the PARIS application folder.
- Send support@intdevices.com the AppMessages.txt file content with
DETAILED description of system and problem.
============================================================
one step further, if youve got a client in a few hours,
then you might find it useful to at least have a bare bones
paris running. think of it as "safe mode" - you should
1. deactivate the VST plugins (just drag the content of your VST plugin
folder into a subfolder called "were closed today" or something ;)
2. deactivate the direct x plugins. in the paris.cfg file, theres a line
saying:
DisableDirectX=0
change that to 1. or vice versa, if its 1, change it to 0,
not sure which one was which.
3. fwiw, just in case, you can even disable the paris fx, which
should disable the EDS daughterboard. thats just a guess but
still worth trying IMHO. heres a quote from an edmund post
how to do it (i hope quoting edmund when its about stuff like that is ok :):
-----------------------
Put the following line:
TestFXEnabled=0
============================================================
Assertion Error
Assertion failed File Cache.c:439offset>=0&&offset<p->count
This usually happens after something bad happens (like disk I/O error,
corrupted file, etc). It shouldn't, and there are other error codes meant
to intercept these situations, but when really bad things happen sometimes
you will see assertion failures. They are controlled exits in catastrophic
sitations.
Now that I have scared the begeezes out of you:
- Do a scan disk of all volumes with surface scan,
- Increase the disk cache by a meg or two,
- Let me know if this happens again.
============================================================
Error Initializing Paris Engine: Error Code 7/7 error 7/7
means that paris can't see the EDS card
(1) The EDS Card is lose
-or-
(2) IRQ resource conflict
The MEC will flash until Paris has booted up, so that is normal.
You're turning on the MEC first right and giving it 5 seconds before
turning on the PC.
============================================================
Error in initializing Paris Engine.Error Code 1/1
Error in initializing Paris Engine.Error Code 40/28
=================================
ERROR: error code 1007/3ef. because you forgot to install
media player which is a requirement for using Paris 1.81b
============================================================ ======
Corrupted Default Project 'unhandled exception: c0000005 at
address: 00481382'
'Paris has caused an error in Paris.exe'
1. Delete or move the offending default project file out of the Paris
directory.
2. Deinstall Paris.
3. Go to the windows system folder and
a. delete the directory that says Ensoniq if present
b. delete the file Paris_StudioControlLibrary.dll if present
c. Reinstall Paris
4. Start with one card.
5. If necessary, go to plain vanilla sytem, meaning ALL cards removed except
for video and 1-EDS. Once that is working, start adding others one at a
time until all is working.
I am not suspecting your card swapping for the moment because it sounds like
the hardware initialized, but then could not open the default_project.ppj.
This makes me think it was a corrupted ppj file, or other corrupted Paris
components. Hence the above advice.
Some things to make note of:
1. Did Paris work initially with your new advancesys scsi card or did it
stop working immediately after you installed the new card?
2. If you remove the advancesys and put everything else back where it was
before, does it all work fine? (you may need to force a PnP update via your
bios)

What you need to do is increase the disk cache size under Preferences. Try
increasing this number by 1-2 MB at a time until the errors go away.
========================================================
ERROR: EDS Cards are not connected properly You may experience

You just need to criss cross the two 16 pin cables and connect the 10

Do you have a stereo plugin strapped accross 2 tracks of unequal lengths?
Joe, Sure enough, you were right. I checked a few edits, and there was one
fade that was off by just a touch. I fixed this, and I'm back in business.
Thanks for the suggestion.
This is a new one on me. Usually if there is an unequal fade problem with a
stereo plug-in, the error shows up only when the now line is approaching
that point. On this one, however, I could put the cursor 6 minutes before
that edit, or 6 minutes after it where there were no audio files playing,
and it would still happen.
========================================================
Started to get error code: error in queing project. Error code
1879048233/70000029 every time I try to record.
Does anyone know what this means? I did a search and found others who
had the problem, but no answers as to why.
Try resetting the record path to a new empty folder.
Or if you are on the Mac and running anything before OS 9 you may have
run out of open files (MacOS limit). If this is the case try clearing
unused files from the audio window.
===
Streaming Errors:
I've done some more experimenting. I lowered the vcache min and max to
8192, and the streaming errors returned. I set the values to 32768, and
voila -- no more streaming errors.

I'd like to get PARIS going again to bring back some of my personal
stuff that I never had time to move over... Anyway, I'll post any
updates here. Thanks again!
J.R.Amen.
Well said.
I agree. The threat to digi is in the world of faster, cheaper native
machines. I really thought that the current generation of machines would be
"the one." But my vote is one, or possibly two more generations. What
continues to amaze me is how freakin' relavent Paris still is. Latency?
What's latency?

>There are several:
1. I did a comparison of the same 16 tracks mixed dry with only panning and
level adjustments between Cubase SX, Sam 7 and my Tascam DM24 mixer, and
the Sam mix was obviously above the Cubase mix in clarity and definition.
Both mixes were better than the DM24. Frankly I was surprised at the
difference, but it was a convincing demonstration.
2. The onboard EQs (2 kinds), compressors (2 kinds), multiband compressor,
program limiter, transient compressor, pitch/time correction, and
convolution reverb are as good as plugins one could spend thousands on.
3. Though it does not make it sound better, the object editor is a huge
convenience, which basically allows one to take any piece of an audio track
and EQ, effect, pitch correct, etc. it discretely and non-destructively
without affecting the rest of the track. Once you start using this feature
you really appreciate its power.
4. It also burns CDs and does anything else an editor does, so I never use
an editor any more.
I have some minor gripes with it, and its MIDI is well short of other
programs (though it does everything I need, and has greatly improved in Sam
8) and there are certain features I appreciated from other programs I would
like to see included or beter implimented in Sam, but in the final balance I
have chosen Sam over all others because my work "sounds better". Each to his
own.

>> J.R.Direct monitor is your friend here... if you have enough buses
available, use Paris as a monitor mixer and place SX in direct monitor
mode. This will allow you to record to SX and monitor/effect in real
time using Paris. We do this here using the DM2K, but there is no
reason it wouldn't work well with Paris. Once you have certain tracks
comitted (you don't intend to record to them again, or at least not
right now), you can assign them to a main stereo out to free up buses.
Simply leave the SX channel faders at unity, and mix in Paris. Once
you aren't recording on a track, you can also apply insert plugs or FX
in SX.

Any other drives thatare performing well?
I'm hearing Seagate might not be the way to go right now.

Well after a year and a half I finally got my second rig up and running and
am going to attempt to get Paris and CEPro 1.2 / Wavelab 4.0 synced.
I have SPDIF / ADAT and Light pipe all wired up and have audio playback from
both CEP and Wavelab happening in Paris....now it's time to attemp syncing
the second rig to Paris and then eventually Paris to the second rig.
So the big question is where do I start.
DOnDJ,
That's my point I this endless love affair with native DAW's. I plan to use
the natives as a compositional tool,maybe even to track now & then, but I'm
sold out on DSP based DAWs be-it Paris or PTHD..I'm not about to keep going
thru the motions of the constant PC/Mac upgrade paths..Nope..I'm done..
I started this thread to open he question about the lack of a PT HD competior,
but it seems that most are satified with their native based DAW...I'm not.Some
manufacture will give me and others the goods...And, yes, I'll hold mt breath
:)

>Deej, your post reminded me of something I recently read on another
forum: that the latest OSX update did something to allow Logic to run
with a lower buffer than it used to require.
So I just tried it on a song I'm mixing. So far so good. Set the buffer
to 64k and the system seems to be running smoothly with Logic's CPU
meter at less than 10%. Nice.
So I tried a 32k buffer. Almost no increase in the CPU meter and it
still plays back great.
Lessee, there's 15 audio tracks, 1 MIDI track, 1 audio instrument track,
and 21 plugins (eqs, compressors, reverb). Not my most complex mix but
still impressive.
I'll have to try this on more complex mixes and during tracking, it
looks there's plenty of CPU available for a lot more tracks/plugins even
with a 32k buffer.
This is with a dual 2.5GHZ G5, 2.5Gb RAM, OSX 10.4.4, Logic 7.1.1. Has
anyone else noticed a buffer improvement with the latest Logic and OSX
on other Macs?
Cheers,

>>Lamont,
Just use a mixer. That becomes your stable routing tool. I have a Tascam
DM24. It routes all my audio, has a decent TC reverb, 16 decent inputs, tons
of I/O, and i never concern myself about latency whatsoever. In fact my
computer is about 3 years ald and works fine with lots of tracks, because i
don't have to push it at all.
If I want to track VSTis, I use a second machine set really fast, for
monitoring the synth. Then on playback I monitor the same VSTi on the main
machine.

no, this has happened before but it has been a while. it actually
happened 3 times on the first new install and once3 since...the gray
screen and 8 language restart command. the whole power shutdown was
new for this work of art. some things i think are logic related cuz
it doesn't happen in DP and some things that happen in DP don't happen
in logic.
i went through the ram replacement thing when i first got this thing.
i originally had mushkin in it (highly recommended and it was my ram
of choice in my pc's) but the fw800 g4 didn't know what it was so i
replaced it.
i totally agree with you on the $700.00 for a battery...ain't gonna
happen here either.
thanks

another firewire card as anything connected to it would remove the

>>Rick,
Sounds like what we are seeing. I've posted on the Apple forum, but not
much help there yet - mostly people suggesting what I said in my posts I had
already done.
The picky Ram issue with Macs really irritates me - Mushkin is probably
better than what they spec (although one user suggested crucial). Also our
combo drive won't burn DVDs - just CDs. Apple says a replacement would have
to be a Panasonic. Why Panasonic? What about Plextor, etc? I also found
that our Mac couldn't support IDE cables longer than the 6" or so ones that
come with it (even high quality 10-12" cables). The only reason for a Mac
being so picky about part manufacturers (down to there being only one in
some cases) is poor design tolerances, period. They just tried to cut
corners and extend the profit margin by not designing a more robust system
with more power to the IDE busses, etc. Easier to pack it all in a spiffy
looking case if you get it working in one config and don't have to worry
about better ground planes, isolation, etc. Then it is all sold as "this is
what is guaranteed to work" making customers think they are getting a highly
spec'd system. BS. It's nothing but lazy design and lazy support - easier
to say "buy one of these" than actually find a problem.
Yeah, $700 for a 2+ yr old motherboard that in the PC world would run about
$125. I'm considering building my wife (it's her G4) a dual core AMD or
Intel and just crossgrading our design software to PC. Probably less
expensive than buying a new MacIntel.

Dedric

Now for some really dumb Q's
How do you set up the patchbay to route audio out the ADAT down the
lightpipe
same question for SPDIF?

Have audio coming into Paris using ADAT module - Working
Need to know Patchbay set up in Paris for ADAT and SPDIF use - reading and
experimenting
Need to know routing in Dakota for the same - reading and experimenting

>>Hey Bill,
You must be a mind reader :) As it turns out, I've investigating getting
1 or 2 Tascams DM3200 (Cascaded). i came to this decision with realizing
that my dream of another cool DSP based DAW was not on the horizon.
I've worked with the yammy DM2000 controlling, Logic, Nuendo, DP and PT,
so, I know the power of a good Digital Mixer. This just may the way for me.
The new MAckie DXB looks like a good contender beit utilizes VST plugs, as
well as, UAD card support, but the i/o add on make this board $$$.
Oh, how I wish for a product that integrates both the Mixer & the Recorder(Not
the Rolands Vs Line) :)..
Take care.

It's the sound.. I took a project over to a buddys studio just to master
with his Samplitude. The FX's are better than some of the best out there..
the editing is faster(if can believe) than SX..All in all, I can really get
a good representation of my mixes in samplitude.
I only wish that they wqould upgrade the GUI. They old gray is just not doing
this great DAW any justices..LAMont

>I picked up a used Ampeg SVPCL preamp and I am quite happy. It was $499
new and I got it for $350. After an A/B comparison with the Sansamp two
things are obvious. My Sansamp Bass DI is uneven. I'm playing a 5
string active circuit Ibanez bass and the notes were different volumes
and I thought it was the guitar. Well with the Ampeg the volumes are
nicely even and much more controllable because of that. Playing up and
down the neck has not hot spots or dead spots
2nd, The bass is lower and rounder on the bottom end. The sans amp does
not have a bad sound but when you compare them, there is a clear
difference in which one is more musical. The Ampeg sounds like a real
bass player and not a mix between a bass player and a keyboard player
playing bass lines. Anyways, I'm running through my outboard compresser
at about 1.3:1 and it's just the right amount to control the dynamics
without squashing it. YAY YAY YAY.
Anyone want to buy a Sansamp? It's going on ebay soon along with a
flute, and probably a vintage roland digital delay and roland reverb and
aphex aural exciter B (i think). I'm having a sale. :-)
JohnHey Rick! The battery for that machine should be about $6.00.

>Hey Dedric! I believe on the DVD drive, you need to go with Pioneer. They
also used Sony in some of the G5s, but you would have to find out which one
they used and go with the exact model. I do not believe they used Panasonic

I usually bring wet up to only about 5% or so and then I have this sweet
clear voice with a nice room around it. The wizoo and lexicon are nice
sounding plug verbs too but wizoo only runs in xp and i'm back on win98se.

DonI recently had to send an SVT in for repair, now I am back to my Trace Elliot

If it's the whole mix, simply make sure that the adat
module is assigned to one of the two output slots in the
patchbay, then patch from the mixer LR outs to a pair of
channels on the MEC Modules block. Remember, you can't
patch across cards. To assign the adat card, double click
on the MEC modules block in the patchbay window and drag the
adat I/O fromm the list at the right to one of the four
"slots" at the left. If the MEC modules block isn't in the
patchbay window, drag it from the list top right onto the
patch field.

it wasn't a go in xp. I'm preparing to move Paris from my P4 to an Athlon

inkling that the MoBo/Video has a lot to do with xp and Paris.

ADAT is in slot 1 input and slot 1 output...
MEC module A is in the patchfield as is the Master, Mixer A and Inserts A
Supposedly whatever is on tr 1-8 is normaled to ADAT tr 1-8 in that
configuration - Correct?
as it stands only Paris Tr 1 & 2 are making it over to CEPro
If you'd rather do this real time call me 613 725 3327 collect

>>Okay, so I took Deej's advice and for syncing purposes replaced my Dakota
with the RME 9652, gave up on my great Tracktion 2 "frontend to PARIS" experiment
and picked up Cubase SX3.
I've moved my UAD-1 into m Cubase box for latency purposes and Cubase is
syncing nicely to PARIS.
Right now I'm planning to use the Cubase box as more of a glorified scratchpad
, the place I hash out any midi stuff and drum tracks, etc and then finish
the whole project in Paris. But maybe (or more likely, certainly) I'm not
seeing a better approach. In fact, I'm not certain what I want the process
to be or what process takes the most advantage of the Cubase/PARIS hybrid
setup.
I have 3 EDS cards in my PARIS box (have a 4th if I need).
I don't do any major live tracking of drums, etc. Just vocals, guitars, keys,
etc.
So I thought I'd ask a few questions o those who know:
1)Is anyone else taking this approach?
2)What approaches are you guys taking with your hybrid setups?
3)What is the meaning of existence? (You can skip this one if you want.)
As always, thanks for the help!
Cheers,

I will offer a 15 days trial money refund option if you pay the shipping.
I will not get it out before being 100 % satisfied I have achieved the goal.
Note that I had a Telefunken U47 for almost 5 years and I know the beast
very well.
I can also offer another tube with exactly the same sound as UF14/EF14 tubes
that are easier enouph to find and will keep your mic for decades.
I will include another two NOS tubes of this "replacement" tube.
I know though that most of you wanna see this black small baby looking like
the original U47 tube so I just note that.
Ther will be included a great shockmount similar to "Neumann" quality and
a aluminium case.
Any real interest ?
Regards,
Dimitrioswhat approaches???..............humm.......well....here it is in a
nutshell.....;oP
A typical session is usually tracked and mixed as follows:
All tracking is usually done in Paris using a Furman HDS 16 cue system with
3 x HRM 16 remotes. Paris latency is 1.25 ms at 44.1kHz, 1.5ms at 48kHz.
Each HRM-16 unit is paired with an Alesis Wedge reverb unit so that the
performer can dial in exactly the amount of ambience in the cans to achieve
a comfortable cuemix.
I have a number of tracking templates set up in Paris and Cubase SX to
utilize my RME Multiface converters with any of the three Paris submixes via
lightpipe. Since two om my MECS have an A8iT and A8oT and the third one only
has ADAT, if I need 16 x I/O on either of the two MECS that have only 1 x
Paris I/O module on them during a tracking session, I can open up the
Cubase-to-Paris tracking template on both machines nd then just patch in my
preamps to the Multiface I/O and it's routed digitally to the respective
channels of the Paris mixer.
Once project is tracked, basic editing done using the Paris editor.
Audio tracks are then rendered as contiguous 24 bit.paf (Paris Audio Files)
with starting points at 00:00:00. to a folder in the Paris song project
file.
Batch converion of the the rendered .paf's to .wavs is done in Wavelab via
LAN to DAW running Wavelab and Cubase SX and the converted .wav files are
saved to a Cubase SX song project.
The .wavs are imported into a Cubase SX project template for the song which
has a routing matrix bussing certain tracks to certain busses and then
bussing the tracks back to Paris for summing as follows:
(NOTE: the use of the word MEC /IF2 below refers to various Paris I/O
interfaces which correlate to 16 track submixes. The system here has 3 x 16
track submix units comprising a total of 48 tracks with a total of 72
digital I/O and 32 analog I/O for various routing configurations)
Paris MEC 1 mixer channels are set to receive lightpipe from Cubase Sx DAW
using ADAT channels 1-14 bussed from RME 9652 #1 ADAT I/O 1 & 2 assigned to
Cubase SX audio channels 1-16 and Cubase SX audio channels 1-14 each
assigned to channels 1-14 outputs.
Cubase SX channels 1-14 (the drums) are duplicated and the duplicated drum
submix is panned to taste, EQ'ed, individual tracks are processed and
(usually) bussed to a UAD-1 Fairchild or other UAD compressor then returned
to Paris submix 1 through the Cubase SX drum submix group- (stereo audio
channel 15 which is using RME ADAT I/O 15 & 16)
The original mono drum tracks are also fed to insert FX (UAD-1 compressors,
EQ's, etc) and bussed via lightpipe to Paris channels 1 through 14 in submix
#1 where the panning of the drum tracks in the SX drum submix is mirrored in
Paris. FX such as Paris EQ/ insert DSP and outboard reverbs (digital only)
and Paris aux FX are then applied to the individual drum tracks. Any
outboard processing to the individual drum tracks is being done through the
RME multiface I/O to retain phase coherence and care must be taken at this
point when processing in Paris to use only digital FX externally (1 x sample
latency with digital I/O loop in Paris) and care must also be taken with the
lookahead when using the Paris onboard DSP compressors to avoid phase issues
(flamming).
It is possible to achieve a monster drum sound by using both Paris and
Cubase SX when processing parallel drum submixes sample accurately on both
platforms.
Paris MEC 2 mixer channels are bussed from RME 9652 #1 ADAT I/O #3 and RME 2
ADAT #1 I/O assigned to audio channels 17-32 and the channels routed to RME
outputs 17-32. and 16 audio tracks are streamed from SX to Paris, being
processed in both platforms.
Paris MEC 3 mixer channels 1 thru 14 set to bus lightpipe from 14 channels
playing back in SX on ADAT channels 1-14 routed to RME 9652 #2 ADAT !/O #2
and RME #2 ADAT I/O #3 assigned to audio channels 33-46.. RME ADAT channels
47 and 48 are set up as a stereo FX bus for all send FX being applied to
tracks in Cubase SX.which is bussing to/from Paris Submix 3, Aux 1
interfacing with Paris ADAT I/O #15 and 16.
The mix template routing between the two work stations is as follows:
Paris Submix 1-Drums (usually)
Using RME HDSP 9652 Card #1 bussing to Paris Submix 1 and 2

Paris S/PDIF I/O for MECs 1, 2 and 3, Sony V77, Quantec Yardstick, Lexicon
PC90 (Core 32 system coaxial spdif I/O) are all bussed to a digital patchbay
for routing to different Paris submixes as needed.
POD XT Pro is patched directly to the spdif I/O of one of the RME HDSP
9652's and set up as an external insert effect or send effect as needed in
Cubase SX.
Power Technology DSP/FX card is patched to the S/PDIF I/O of one of the
other RME HDSP 9652's and set up as an insert or send effect as needed.
Lexicon PC90 (Core 32 system ADAT I/O) is routed to the ADAT I/O of the RME
Multiface and either set up as external insert effect or send effect as
needed.
RME Multiface analog I/O are set up as external insert busses for processing
tracks with up to 8 x various analog compressors and EQ's with ADC being
applied in Cubase SX to keep them phase coherent..
4 x UAD-1 cards in the Cubase SX DAW provide stereo reverb to the tracks
using the stereo drum bus and center panned stereo and mono reverb to
individual mono tracks (the UAD-1 EMT 140 is often requested on lead VOX
tracks-UA hit a home run with this emulation) along with track EQ and the
LA-2A, 1176, Fairchild etc. compressiors on mono tracks before they are
streamed back into Paris for summing.
Paris MEC I/O in submixes one, two and three as well as IF2's on MECs 2 and
3 are set up to route analog FX processors in Paris from the Lexi PC 90,
Power Technology DSP/FX card, Sony V77, Sony MU-R201 and POD Pro XT if
needed.
All panning of tracks and reverbs, delays etc. are done in Paris since all
Cubase SX tracks with the exception of the stereo drum mix are mono and
being lightpiped directly to Paris rather than being sent to stereo busses
in Cubase SX. (without being assigned to a stereo bus in Cubase, the mono
tracks in SX cannot be panned)
All of this is clocked through a Mytek ADC 24/96 which is feeding a Lucid
GenX6 module set to distribute word clock (at 10 picoseconds) which is then
feeding the 3 x Paris MECs, 2 x HDSP 9652's and the RME Multiface and the
Lexicon Studio Core 32 outboard reverb.
All of the routing scenarios are saved in mix templates on the two audio
DAWs and the digital patchbay control panel in the DAW running standalone
FX. The Cubase DAW is slaved to the Paris DAW by ADAT sync so the Paris
transport controls both systems, sample accurate, timeline locked. All it
really takes is a few mouse clicks and this entire scenario is
working......Simple huh?

> Regards,
> DimitriosI've been going through some mixes re4placing the kicks with various BFD
samples. The original kick tracks were OK, but not really stellar. They were
recorded here with a Beta 52 inside the shell and a 57 on the beater. They
were also compressed and EQ'ed while tracking. Very tight and focused, but
nothing like the BFD samples as far a s fidelity goes. Then I opened up a
project where I used the Yamaha subkick in fornt of the kick and a beta 52
inside the shell. WOAH!!!!(says I). This track sounds easily as good as the
BFD samples. What a huge difference this makes. Another thing of note
concerning the Subkick, I have been using it a bit while tracking electric
bass as a close mic on the cone. For a while I was liking it, until I tried
to get it to work in a mix. Somewho it just doesn't flatter an amp as I had
hoped. An ATM 25 up close with an LDC (I'm liking the RODE NTV these days)
off the amp about 8 ft away and 5' off the floor has yielded much better
results when the room mic track is phase aligned with the close mic'ed
track.http://www.craigslist.org/nby/ele/129402251.html
hey, they're free! Just take 'em away!
-silly steveIf I was closer, I'd buy these and set them out by the road in front of our
house, turn them on and watch the expressions on the fces of the asshole
kids who speed by here going 80 when their cars start veering off the road
into the bar ditch.

Speaking of needing help (me) and getting hurt (them), the greatest television
show in the history of America is on Monday nights on A&E. That would be
Rollergirls. All girl punk rock roller derby from Austin, Texas. 60 Minutes,
Twin Peaks, McNeil/Lehrer, Gilligan's Island, NYPD Blue, and Northern Exposure
can bite me. Punky Bruiser and Venis Envy show them all up. There's not much
left about America for an old school patriot like me to love--Jefferson would
have quite seriously called for the assassination of both Clinton and GW--but
if we have Rollergirls maybe there's still a chance we can stop the terrorists.

But you still need help Deej,

This describes exactly what I do around here: SX is the playpen where
all manner of sounds and tracks originate, Paris is the
tape-and-console combo where it all comes together...

Me too.

Same here.

See above.

Like you.

Not sure, but I think it's somehow related to "Never give a sucker an

>Hi Don,
Sorry about the delay, was out at Lake Louise for the day...
just got back in. NOTHING in Paris is normalled... you have
to patch everything. There are two ways to route individual
tracks... through "inserts" and through "auxes". If you use
the aux sends, you can select external on each aux bus and
hard pan to get up to 16 sends per MEC. Using inserts, you
have to patch the inputs of the inserts as well as the
outputs... it doesn't matter if you are only using them to
send sound, you must patch a return signal for them to
become active. I believe the same holds true for the Aux buses.
As for CEP... I thought is only had the capability to record
two tracks at once??? Double check this, but I am positive
it can only accept two.
I'll be at the studio in the morning if you are still stuck.
I would call now, but it's after midnight now on your end.

I know that most of us thru out the years have beeen cold on PT, but I have
admit, that DAW( PT-HD) is one nice sounding, smooth running, cryptic editing-but
fast once you know it. It's I/O patchbay routing is on another level. That's
all i can say. They sound is as good withthe Digi converters, but, inserting
a Lucid gen 96 or 192, tightens the sound up.. Using Apogees Rosettas and
or the AD/DA16x, really make you think your back in PAris Land.. Due to the
Apogees ability to run inthe read, with it's on-board soft-limit.. AND, if
you runn HD on a PC, beter for you becuase you can run a whole lot of Rtas
plugins.. But, if you only have a old G4, so-what, you're still gonna get
taht stated track/DSP count...very smothly indeed.. No more bashing Digi
for me.. I've seen the light..

I'm lazy these days..I'll stay with Drummagog( I have BFD as well)..I just
got Battery2, with 4 gigs of new acoutic Multi Mic drums..KillER!!!
It's a good time for replacing or even using a midi kit for real performances
using any of the sampled drum librarys.

>So what would PT system with 32 A/D and D/A converters, 96 I/O and the

a G5 to that.. Now add a control surface. $40k to achieve what I've already
got here?
Now lersee, I might be able to get 7k out of my current hybrid rig if I was
lucky, soooo............that leaves me a little short. Yeah, It would be
nice, but it's not realistic. PT HD is still wayyyyy overpriced.....at least
for me. If I was in a situation where it would bring enough business for it
to pay for itself, then maybe I could see it. Right now, I'm the alternative
to Pro Tools in this town. That is starting to bring me business actually.
People are curious about this crazy engineer with the Rube Goldberg machine.

>You Apple computer will work with those other DVD drives, you just need to
install the right drivers and DVD burning software just like on a PC. On
a Mac, some third party manufactures ship there drives with OEM software
for the Mac. You could also get a software like Toast for burning, and there
are others. Apple doesn't support all the third part manufactures for obvious
reasons, cost and the support night mirror. It's the same for the most part
on a PC, you can't just install Windows and a third party DVD drive and
expect it to work out of the box. You have to install third party authoring
software to burn DVDs with it. I would say it's more like, not every drive
manufacture supports Apple. Thanks to third party software manufacture,
most drives are supported for the Mac.
Remember Apple was the first computer company to offer DVD burners on computers.
Prior to that a dvd burner cost $6,000.00, I know I was a computer dealer.
The first Apple machine was less that $2,500.00, that was a hell of a deal
back then. They started off with the Pioneer super drive, it was the only
one available at that time. Pioneer had years of experience starting back
to the pioneer laser disc. A raw Pioneer drive was about a grand back then.
With in 6 mo. they were about $700.00 and PC manufactures were getting in
to the game. So my hats off to Apple for blazing that trail.
What does suck is how Apple has locked us out with hardware profile. This
is basically what you are saying. There are other options available on the
DVD front. There are many things that suck about Apple and the MS way they
have chosen to conduct business in the last four years. They have dropped
VST support in some of their audio products, they have no direct support
for Mpeg2 video in some of their video products. Mpeg2 is the industry standard
in video (DVD). Yet they want to say they support open industry standards,
which is bullshit!
With third party software you can do all the things you want to on a Mac,
but that cost more money. Apple's video software, you have to convert/encode
every thing to QuickTime, then edit your video, then encode back to to MPEG2
to burn to DVD!!! Who in the hell has time for all that!!! Apples answer,
oh buy our new faster machine, it encodes faster. I say F*** encoding,
and F*** Apple!!! I went out and bough two cards for my PC and now I can
encode in real time, and it cost me a total of $50.00 on sale!!! I no longer
have to wait hours. So Apple has Mpeg4 in quickTime now, so what! DVD
and Mpeg2 are the standards not Mpeg 4, I can't rent an Mpeg4 disc and play
it in any of my DVD players. I don't think they have gotten lazy, Apple
has just gotten greedy! They didn't want to pay Mpeg for Mpeg 2. It cost
$20.00 just to get Mpeg2 player in QuickTime.
It used to be that you could be running 8 year old software on your Mac.
It was an advantage over PCs in many cases. Now with OSX, Apple dumps older
hardware support. They just dumped support for my iBook G3 which is about
3.5 years old. So no more G3 support! They were still selling G3 models
2.5 years ago. iLife 06, GarageBand 3 is no longer supported on G3 models,
they have locked us out with hardware profile. That sucks! The more Apple
uses tactics like this the slower I and many other people will be to upgrade.
I'm not totally happy with all of Apples decisions, so I can understand your
frustration. Some of their decisions are just business decisions, and I
under stand that too. Putting the above mentioned aside, I think Apple is
a great company with great vision and great innovation. There audio support
in OSX is great, and AU rocks. The concept of one company designing the hardware
and writing the OS and software to run on that hardware is good. It means
tighter integration and less problems for the end user. The trade off is
less upgrade hardware options. Hopefully Apple will make good decisions
when it comes to OEM products.
On the DVD burner, there may be some better choices, but I can tell you that
Pioneer is a good solid choice.
As for your mouse pad, well I can't comment, I use a Kensington track ball;

>>Hey Dave
Now there's a place I haven't been to in thirty years...must be totally
different in the winter.
Emailed DJ and got things sorted out...almost a Paris 101 class.
What I meant by normalled was the ADAT module's input / output correspond to
the in/out of the patchbay slots the ADAT module is assigned too...wrong
choice of words.
And yes you can record more than two tracks at a time in CEPro...multitrack
mode will handle as many inputs as you can throw at it (well 16 anyway)
I'm going to attempt to get wavelab working today...my initial attempts only
produced what I can best describe as a lurching in Wavelab when I hit play
in Paris.
Once it's sorted out I'll be installing Nuendo 2.0 and see if I can get that
to work with Dakota and then sync'd to Paris...gonna be a fun day or so
One other thing. I hear there are issues with two ADAT modules in the same
MEC and Windows XP...is this correct
Thanks

>>DJ,
If you haven't have the chance to work with U47 then you don't know what
it sounds like.
This Gemini thing and other clones have Chinese capsules.
They have NOTHING to do with THAT midrange Neumann capsule has.
Also the UF/EF tubes series are not even close to the tubes Chinese mics
(even good sounding ones) have to offer.
My U47 will have original Neumann KK47 capsule reskinned by a former Neumann
worker and who is -as Iknow - the only one who does it as Neumann used to
do !
I could (and can by the way) choose a Chinese capsule and make amic like
Peluso microphones , but that is not the point.
I even use the original capsule holder !!
Thats why when finished I will offer 15 day trial - money back guarantee.
I have tried all these U47 clones and nothing sounds to me even close to
a real U47.
These chinese capsules are childish to my ears.
Lack of midrange too
much highs (which apparently are distortion perceived as "more highs"!)

Dimitrios

If anyone can do this I have no doubt it is you. And I agree about the Chinees
mics and that high, they can sound nice but I would love a U47. I was leaning
towrds a Lawson. I just don't know if I could swing 2500.00 for a no name
brand. If you could get it down in the sub 2000.00 range, Is this thing going
to be a smooth as I dreamed about? You can send me an email.

I don't understand past the first paragraph. Its a recording system, sure,

>Hey Don,
There are adat card issues, but people get differring results. I am
positive this has to do with how the beta driver works with various
hardware. I personally have not been able to get two adat cards
working in the same MEC, and have to have only one per MEC.
The best results will be obtained by chasing Paris to MTC, rather than
using Paris as a transport master. This will be especially true once
you get Nuendo in the fray.
As to the third interface, yes, you will need a WC generator.
Actually, with two computers running now, I would strongly suggest
getting one anyway. Adding a WC gen will smooth out your clocking
issues and make the addition of Nuendo to the setup less painfull.
The WC gen will eliminate the "dog chasing its tail" problem that
multi-source DAWs face.

>You're right $$$ Cha-ching!!! :) But, Digi is giving new customers at least
$3,500.00 in software plugins. Maybe more, but I do knwo that it's at least
$3500.00
I dont think you need 96 I/o channels, but hey !! you never know :)
PTHD-3(Axcel) had all the processing power one needs to replace 4 UAD1 cards.
Being that you can run the uad plugs on the HD cards, or run Fx expansion
vst/Rtas converter app..
I just got a great quote from sweetwater for PTHD2-Axcel) with Contol24 mix
controller, Apogee AD/DA16x..Slew of Plugin (free) from Digi..20K..( Not
including the Mac.) You don't need a G5 to run PT-HD/TDM.. You can, but not
a necessity. I have access to a Dual 877 G4 or I might buld a nice PC to
run it on. For those how have not seen PT-HD?LE run on a PC, they are in
for a real shock. The speed difference is Amazing!!!
I've been weighing the Yammy 02r96/DM-2000,Nuendo,RME MADI(2) scenario..the
first coming to 9k for the 02Rm, 18k for the DM2000..Decisions.. :)
