> (859) 635-5762They're good, not great. You can clearly hear the difference between the RNP
and a higher-end unit like the Great River.
They are several notches better than Mackie, though, and they are an amazing
value. We don't track many instruments at a time around here, but if we did
the RNP would get a lot more use, whereas now we just use the Great River on
everything, with uniformly excellent results.
YOMV.
I've got my eye on one of those TAB units as a companion to my 1NV. I've
always wanted some really creamy preamp action...

version 6. Kind of weird.
I couldn't find any documentation that mentioned compabiliyt with dual core
CPU's, but I guess Kim did (in later versions...see his post below)
So far, I havn't been able to get Paris to work with it though.
No errors...it just won't do ANYTHING when I try to open paris.
I only tried late last night though, so it could have been a bad on my part.
I'll try again, and post the relults.
