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,
Jon

what 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
Cubase CH 1>RME 1 ADAT 1-1 out > Paris CH 1

Cubase ST CH 48R/ Stereo Group 2 R> RME 3 ADAT 3-24 out > Paris CH 16
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?

You really need to get some help Deej. Before someone gets hurt.
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,

Sister Mary Jane looks exactly like one of my friends granddaughters
(man,................am I that old now?)
I'm going back into the lab now. I'm bet testing something that will
eventually make some of you guys very happy. Unfortunately, it's not Paris
based, but it is working very well within the simple context that I
described in my working methodology post above.

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
even break."

LOL!!
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..

So what would PT system with 32 A/D and D/A converters, 96 I/O and the
processing power of 4 x UAD-1 cards cost? I'm thinking around $30k. Now add
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.

..........errr..........that should have been 96 digital I/O. guess I
wouldn't be needing that though with the PT rig, would I? Also, I'm going to
need all new software so throw that into the equation for another $5k at
least for good TDM plugins.

Symphonic in scope man. Like 10 part harmony?
I don't understand past the first paragraph. Its a recording system, sure,
but its more like an invention.
Kick a** Deej.

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.. :)

Well, the RME-Madi card(s) price don't look too bad for the 64 channels per
card. I want to be able to stream 96 channel from the yamaha DM-2000.. So,the
Optical way would cost, 4- 9652(s) is almost the same. $2400(9652) vs $2600.00(Madi)

Here is a wrinkle to this equation.. you said you want to stream 96
channels from the DM2K... ok, no problem. The limitation is that you
would be able to do this at 96K only with the MADI cards. The
standard 96K MY cards are 8 chanels only... this gives you 48 channels
of I/O at 96K fully loaded with AES cards. If you want all 96
channels of I/O you are stuck at 48KHz using adat/TDIF/AES cards.
Just another $.02 on the pile :-)

RME drivers only support 3 x HDPS 9652's. If you want more than 64 channels,
you got to go with the MADI setup anyway.

I know what you mean... I am tracking at 24/44 in Nuendo and it sounds
really good. Did a piano thing the other day using the Focusrite 428
on a pair of C460's and a U47FET underneath. Noise floor is so low, I
can hear the felt dampers going in and out of the strings!! :-) Scary
actually... I know I don't need any more resolution than that!
