Hehe, well... ;o)
1 Boot just for Paris... so it's clean and always works.
1 Boot for general audio, with Paris and every other audio application I
use.
1 Boot for video production use. This will also have some audio apps, as
well as video production apps.
1 Boot for general office tasks... word processing, photoshop etc.
1 Boot called "KAOS" for general mucking around. This is the anything goes
install where you load things to see if they work etc.
1 Boot for experimental OS's... where I can load Linux if I want, or new
versions of Windows / Service packs... whatever.
You see this computer will do pretty much everything for me, and we all know
how a system runs if you load a million things on a single install of Windows.
OK, I could probably make do with maybe only about 4, or 3 even in a pinch,
but I certainly wouldn't want to be routinely running Paris off an OS with
video stuff, M$ office, Cubase, Reason, etc etc.

I like to keep things clean...
....I am astounted how difficult it seems to be to get such a system running
though.
Cheers,
Kim.Yeah, I was thinking of the RNP as sort of a stop gap set for say OH's in
addition to a GR NV1 if they were really good. I am thinking that a v72 racked
is not much more than the Tab- funken, so I think I'll wait on that. Of course
a 1073 is a shite load more than the GR. So I'll go with that for now I think.
Of course I have just become gready and I am now leaning towards sabing for
a pre that starts with an "H"..but I wont mention.

Paris works perfectly for me on my XP 2800/ASUS A7V8X. This rig is beacoup
stable with plenty of horsepower for Paris. I doubt I'll ever build another
Paris DAW.

Starts with an "H"? Are you talking about John Hardy?
NeilNah, this one I really gotta save some penny's for.
I was thinking of the Tony Arnold Helios stuff.
Neil are you still a big 4033 fan?

Regards,
DimitriosPaul, is there an alternative date for the Paris dinner. I'd love to make
it, but will be on the road...returning to NJ the 8th?
I was really looking forward to making it this year.
TyroneNappy, I hope this note finds you well. All the best and hang in there!!!
TyroneYes,
Only card A has a master insert. The only remedy that I can think of for
this is to use an outboard compressor/Wormhole.
Might be a good time to put it to the test. ;o)
Good luck,

you're using too many on all of the subs, then you'd maybe have to create a
virtual mix of one of the subs, and let your A card reside on an empty one.
