ause of an actual functional issue... of course feedback
was kinda the FOH guy's problem, so it's possible that unit may have been
a little more difficult to manage feedback wise but he may not have known.
I beleive AKG do make a headset version too.

The other thing related to your comments (esp feedback) which I suspect you
were alluding to also is the general rejection of unwanted signals for vocoder
work. The vocoder isn't going to be as effective if it's picking up a whole
bunch of signals from keys etc coming through foldback. Obviously quality
is an issue to a certain degree.

I had already, at least, counted out the units that sell for $15 on ebay...
;o)

I probably do need to go and test some and see what I think. Perhaps it will
have to wait until I can afford one which is worthwhile.

Cheers,
Kim.Hi Kim,

Don't know of a cheap one, but one thing I want to point out is that
some of them are way above average.

This one:

The E6, sounds as good as many of your studio mics, and will
*murder* most common dynamic vocal mics.

good luck

DCThat EMU is certainly a great sounding card, and matched with Nuendo will
make a formidable system.
The Emu has onboard fx processing also, like the Paris EDS card.

I was trying the Senderella thing under Me.
The only way that works great is using the EDSTransfer=8,16 thing.
Note that it also works with 8,8 but this setting is not stable , you get
disk errors "too slow" things etc.
Things work very stable with that EDSTransfer setting and senderella newest
version can now save its sttings along with saving Paris song.
So now you can have your bus system inside Paris you always wanted.
There no latency at all (0) when using senderella so you can use your
favoured DX plugin or EDS effect to effect your submix buss.
You can also have a stereo bus summing -effecting thing using two senderella
instances.
I use of course chainer to load senderella but I am surte it can be used
without chainer.
Someone has mentioned several times on this forum that the EDStransfer might
get EDS cards working hotter thus producing more heat.
I would like to know from you who used to use the EDSTransfer 8,8 thing in
the past if you had ny eds cards burnted out.
I have two big fans blowing over the eds cards anyway.
I am also considering just to be on the safe side to add these copper little
addons that can be put right over the chips so whenever air is blowing on
them they got somehow cooler.
Anyone ever tried this or other things ?
Regards,
DimitriosThank you, Martin. After a fun session tonight, getting a little
deeper into Paris, It may be too late for me! I'm gettin'hooked
