Can't you all post short wav files instead of mp3's? When I see mp3 I don't
even want to listen. Seriously? Is there some lossless mp3 format that
you all are using?

Sure, I could do wav's for those short clips, I suppose.

I'm using 320k mp3's for these though, not 128's... that's
pretty high-resolution.

john was also a fussy eater as a boy so it's best not to mollycoddle
him too much.

Nice! Sounds like you're pretty lucky yourself, Martin.

My wife is a classically trained singing teacher. She also teaches
speaking voice and dialects so we see a lot of theater performances. I'm
not complaining. :^)

Cheers,

Yes-

I agree. The test you did was an excellent one to answer a specific
question. My comment was moving towards next step considerations.
I too have been wrestling with the Q of Native in addition to or instead
of Paris, although I think I like the character of Logic better than Nuendo
(? hate to take a stand on this).

I know that if I take tracking/mixing drums out of the equation (I seem to

suck at this) I can achieve good results with Paris.

I have a good friend North of Toronto whose been recording for 30 years.
He went to Pro Tools when he went digital, but 2 years ago outfiited his
studio
with a CuB-SX rig. He (by his own admission) has not been able to get the
sound out of that rig that I have been able to get out of Paris.

3 years ago I was playing with a Presonus MP 20.
I tested it by plugging in a Taylor 312-ce _direct_ and then did some soloing
with
an American standard Strat, also plugged _directly_ in and added a little
verb from
an M3000. The next week I was at another friends studio who had just installed
a big Neve purchased from Ocean Way. I played what I had tracked in Paris,

and one of the main engineers walked in during it and immediately began to
crow
about their new Neve and "doesn't it sound great and when did we track
this and who is this anyway?"

So any switch I make will be driven by MIDI needs and a desire to use some
plugs
-thinking of Duende- that I can't use with Paris. In the end, I suspect I'll
put up
with the workaround hassles and use both Paris and Native to get what I want.

Thanks again for your shared expertise and enthusiasm.

Peace,

Ted
