Hey guys long time Paris user here. Tracking in Paris on a Mac, need to take the files to Cubase 5 on a Windows 7 PC. Whats the best way to do this? Basically want to track in Paris and Mix in Cubase. Any helpful tips, I'd be most grateful.

Paris: 2ins, 2outs, 1 EDS etc

Easiest way is to export all your Paris PAF files as wave files making sure they all start at zero so some rendering might be in order.

Then put them all on a USB stick and drop them in your PC machine.

This is assuming there are no issues writing on a MAC and reading on a PC.

Thanks, I wish there was a way to use the Paris interface into Cubase. Is there a thread for this I can read up on, or has anybody been able to do this yet?

You can connect the two computers via ADAT optical and SPDIF and Paris will talk to your Cubase machine and allow you to fly tracks between them in real time...if that's what you're after.

Several of us are doing that now.

AAtranslator might convert Paris files to cubase files but I'm not sure on that.

Also Mike is working on a new ASIO driver that will let other DAWS access PARIS' hardware so you might want to hold off on connecting your two rigs together unless you have the hardware to do it now

I will second the "export WAV files" as the easiest for the simplest sessions - ie "no punches, whole band starting together" stuff, or sessions where you don't care about committing and rendering your edits before exporting.

But if you'll be doing more complex stuff (multi-punch stuff or stuff where you want to retain the flexibility to tweak your edits), Michael Rooney of AATranslator did a stellar job of adding PARIS OMF translation into AAT last year. Export an OMF from PARIS, open it in AATranslator, and translate it into whatever you like from a very considerable list. All your tracks, all your segments, all your track and region names show up in the new session, all nicely translated into WAV files and placed where you punched them with sample accuracy. After all this time, OMF from PARIS is finally a viable, solid option (whoops, just saw you're on Mac - AAT is PC only, you could run it on your receiving PC though).

Hands down my favorite transfer option. I use it often - for the first time, a transfer option out of PARIS that "just works" with minimal twiddling or prep.

Yes, thanks to both of you. I will put AAtranslator on the PC and work the files there. I would put Paris on my Windows 7 and keep it all on the same box, but Paris doesn't work in Win7 correct?

If anyone has a simpler solution for me, I'm all ears. I love Paris and I'm a long time user (since98), but I have Cubase 5 on a new PC and would love to hear how anybody is making something work incorporating the 2.

BrianT took my files from Paris on a Mac, stripped them somehow and mixed them in Nuendo. It seemed easy when he did it, but he's working mostly in Nuendo now and I still want to keep that Paris mojo related somehow.

anyway, thanks again guys

I thought I read in one of the newer threads that someone has Paris running on Windows 7

I'm sure Kerry will correct me if I'm wrong

We have indeed seen PARIS working on Win7, and apparently quite nicely, using Mike's existing XP drivers. Be forewarned that AFAIK there's only one person who's officially taken the Win7 plunge - it's still largely uncharted territory. There's no real knowledgebase to consult yet if anything goes wrong, so although we've heard nothing but good news it's not yet recommended for a production environment.

By the way - PARIS/Win7 compatibility is being tackled from two distinct angles right now.

- for Win7 32-bit, the method above using Mike's XP multicore drivers seems to be working well (from the anecdotal evidence we have anyway);

- Mike began exploring actual drivers for Win7 64-bit earlier this year. They haven't hit alpha yet but there are no showstoppers yet.

Once again a HUGE THANKS needs to be given to Mike for his efforts at breathing new life into our old girl
