Going thru the transition from PARIS to Logic myself (although still using

In 1995 I had never used a computer, literally. A company I was working for
had developed a new Windows software program and they needed someone who
knew absolutely nothing about computers to train to prove how easy it was to
learn. I got the nod and within a week I was all over it. Unfortunately, I
also got a peek under the hood of Win 95 and a couple of days later I had
completely hosed a perfectly good computer by trying to rip all of the crap
out of the OS that offended my sensibilities..........and you know the rest
of the story.....

experience with SSL. I'm thinking of ordering a Duende system from MF for
the specific reason that I wouldn't feel bad about sending it back if it
just didn't suit my taste soncially. The 45 day, NQA return policy makes MF
a no brainer for this. I'm just curious. Is transparency the big deal with
SSL? Is there the *Class A=BIG" mojo* going on or is it more of a colored
sound? I'm sure I've heard lots of mixes on SSL consoles and I know there
are differences in the consoles, but Duende isn't a *console*. and since my
primary mix genre around here is acoustic instruments, I'm just curious if
it would enhance my life. I was thinking about getting a new hardware comp,
but the new Neve UAD-1 plugins are so friggin good and having that recall
without repatching hardware has enhanced my propensity toward
slackerness......sooo..in the spirit of being a total lazyass, I may have to
try this thing out. Anyone have any thoughts?
