Since all is going so well finally I thought it would be
good to show what's possible with Paris and a quadcore.
I have 4 EDS, 2 Mecs, 1 UAD-2, 1 UAD-1 installed with 4GB Ram
with a Q9450 Yorkfield 2.66 quadcore.
I'm using a 29 track mix with plenty of edits, 15 or so Paris plugs
scattered about. Maybe 2 Autotunes, 5 UAD whatevers, 4 Voxengo
whatevers and Faderworks across all 64 tracks.
Then I decided to push it.
I put 29 Waves Ren comps across all tracks as the transport
was playing. No glitches (plenty of edits too) but with no GUIs
open. I was impressed since the CPU didn't exceed 10%.
I installed a few Waves SSL Channel Strips with no glitches,
transport still running in loop mode. If anyone knows that plug,
it's gui is very hard on the graphics card as well as being a little
CPU intensive. I got brave and added 25 with only a glitch or two.
GUIs closed. Now we're talking 60+ native plugs and the CPU
is peaking around 15-20%. Smooth audio although mix got a little
goofy sounding!
Then I got really brave... I started opening the SSL GUIs making
sure to leave the meters showing on each one. I got 6 going with the
CPU up between 35 + 45% . This was unheard of on my old box.
Transport would stop after 2 as I recall. I added the seventh GUI when
I got the Paris Assertion Error we all know. Yes it crashed and I couldn't
find the save I tried to make either.
Bottom line is the CPU never reached beyond 50% and the internal latency I
have been keeping to a minimum never exceeded 208us! That's incredible
from my experience.
After I backup it'll be time for the Creamware card, Cubase 4.5,
Midi 8x8 patchbay.
New UAD latency with ver 5.2 is:
8256 samples most plugs including Neve 88R
Helios and Pultec 8287 samples
This is about half as long from the old revs. The install is also
easier for us because the EX1 and Fairchild load correctly
first time out. Just wrap with FxPansion 3.3 and all is well.
Thanks again to Mike Audet for being so helpful when
I was ready to throw in the towel. His drivers are making
this all possible. Buy 'em. Good for multi ADATs, ADAT sync
and Hyperthreading comps too.

Are you running an expansion chassis?
What slots are on the MB PCI and PCIe?
what about power supply?
Inquiring minds want to know
hehehe

Hi Don,
Ya, 13 slot older PCI Magma. PCIe would be saweet but I
didn't want to spend more cash. It's in the innermost slot
close to the power supply. That slot is where the host
card goes. I have all Paris cards sharing IRQ 20 using
slots 1, 5, 8 & 12 in the Magma. Mine lined up differently
than DJ's did. You have to test each one to really know
how the IRQ chips will fall. I have a 550 watt in both Magma
and comp. UAD2 is PCIe and is the graphics card. UAD1
is in the Magma as will be the Creamware card shortly.

Got some serious good things going on now.
Paris is stable, powerful and efficient.
I ran tests yesterday that proved the CPU and
even PCI bus are not stopping anything from
happening. Today recording 30 tracks punching in/out
caused no probs with average paris config settings.
Yesterday 60+ natives and very low cpu with same
config.
It's finally awesome as I had hoped.
Tomorrow I'm adding the Creamware hardware software.
This will be one of the major hurdles along with some more
USB devices and Cubase.

You'll probably want to install the Cubase VST plugs to a different folder
from Paris' VST plugs. I ran into some real wierd stuff trying new plugs in
Paris, and it got unstable. If it pans, cool, add the other folder but if it
doesn't sorting them out is a big pain. I sort mine now on the C drive by
VSTplugs and VSTparis. Had some real big issues with DirectX and this
because it works differently. Vegas and Paris plugs don't play nice
together, ditto stuff like the plugs Nero installs.

Hi Aaron,
I am going to reinstall all the plugs for Cubase in a
separate folder as you suggested. I know that Paris
will fight it out with some plugs so I made sure it was isolated
from the rest of the VST world.
Not sure how to isolate DX. They seem to load where they load
most of the time don't they? I'll direct them to a new folder if
possible.
Thanks for the heads up.

Yeah, you can put DX anywhere and the apps just "see" it.

What happens when you go to load them...do you lose all your regular VST's
because you're pointing them to a different folder...just wondering as I've
never had any problems with my VST's but then again I don't use cubase VST's

do you lose all your regular VST's
> because you're pointing them to a different folder
Nah. You can have more than one folder. It's the rogue plugs that'll nail
you. Intermittent wierdness, streaming errors, incompatibility, and just
downright inability to load paris w/o defeating the VST in the paris.cfg
file are some of the things I've seen. Best to try them in a different
folder and copy over one at a time,test, copy another over, test, etc. etc.
etc.
tedious, but necessary since the Paris VST code is, er... aged.

Hey All,
Cubase 4.0 is loaded, it's troublesome audio project played
perfectly first time out. NO LATENCY. I added Paris
into the mix, got all the ADAT and analog/spdif in/outs
between the two working. Set proprietary clock, latency settings (3ms)
in the Creamware asio audio, got Paris MTC internally to send to
Cubase internally with NO LATENCY. Locked perfectly
with Paris ADAT sending clock to Creamware hardware interpreted
by Cubase.
Lots more to do but the giant hurdle has been kicked
over on it's ass.
Low low latency, low CPU. 3ms @ 44.1.
Whew !
Thanks for all your help along the way,
Tom

Hey guys,
First session today. Had paris config set to
punch time fast and not a problems. I'm not
used to getting in AND out with Paris like tape! Nice.
Paris rendered mixes so fast I didn't see it happen.
Click it's done. Stable as could be.
Had to use Cubase which was in the same machine
so it saved time just to convert a Mp3 to wav for
the session.
Sweet to be back working again and more than just functional.
Quicker, no probs with anything Paris. Soon I'll be mixing
and it will be a joy with the plug/counts available. I'll get that list
tonight. I have to get the latencies for some new ones still.
The quickness is definitely worth the money.
Maybe not my effort though!

Hey Jeff,
Ya, works great. No cables. Not sample accurate though.
ADAT sync is doable if I buy a Sync Plate for my Scope card.
No rush for me.

Tom,
Try this:
1. Fly your drum tracks into Cubase and send them to a stereo bus which is
outputting to an ADAT output pair wihch is patched into a Paris stereo input
pair.
2. Configure a pair of tracks in Paris with the Paris ADAT inputs (and a
corresponding pair of outputs) as inserts.
3. In Cubase, designate this ADAT pair as an external instrument.
4. Instantiate a Pultec and something like a Fairchild or the Neve 33609
on the buss and ping it for round trip latency through Paris so you can get
a sample/ms calculation.
5. Use that number in Faderworks to delay compensate Paris for the round
trip. I'm not sure if this will owrk with UAD plugins instantiated, but if
it does, you've now got a means to more quickly use groups in Paris with
delay compensation. You could basically run NY style (parallel) compression
this way.
I know you can just lightpipe the tracks from the ADAT out of Cubase to the
ADAT input of Paris, but using inserts may have have the following advantage:
1. you get an accurate number for compensating in Faderworks
2. it is convoluted, more complicated and less intuitive and therefore much
cooler than something simple and obvious.
;)

Paris "rendered mixes"???? do you mean "rendered tracks"? or are you using
some virtual mixes?

Hi Rod,
Ya they were tracks that happened to be mixes.
I installed Kontakt 3 tonight and the comp is purring like
a kitten. The authorization process was a pain though.
More soft synths to install along with a bunch of sample sets.
I should be able to push the envelope now and see where
this rig lies compared to the two comps I was using before.
Paris on an AMD 3000+ & Cubase on a dualcore AMD 2.8.
Paris on it's own is no comparison.

If I was going to build myself another Paris rig, I'd probably be looking
at getting myself a Ramsa DA7 for duties such as routing drums and other
tracks through busses in the mixer and applying compression, etc. I haven't
studied this too much, but that's a very cool board. If the faders could
somehow be mapped, it would be even cooler. I wonder if Analog X still uses
Paris. He might be the guy to talk to about something like this. He had an
O1V mapped to Paris about 10 years ago.

Wow, that sounds smokin' Tom. Simply amazing processing power you've got
there. By the way which motherboard are you using with that Quad Core?

Hi Rich,
Here's the link:
http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Products/Motherboard/Products_Spe c.aspx?ClassValue=Motherboard&ProductID=2742&Product Name=GA-EP35-DS3P
Chris Ludwig put mine together at ADK. His knowledge is worth
the extra cash. No question about it. I had mine built back in July.
Today it would be less money for you I'll bet. Maybe build an even
faster one!!!
An expansion chassis is essential but well worth the speed increase
compared to slower machines with 6 PCI slots. Only important if
you're mixing with large native plugin counts. Or, like I want everything
in one machine which if nothing else is just cool. No monitor switching,
KVMs etc..
It should keep me going for a few more very productive years with Paris.
If I give up on Paris then Cubase is there waiting to take over the audio
recording duties too.
Mike Audet's drivers are essential to this setup too. He deserves huge
props for all that he has done for us here as well as me personally.

Tom, that's good news, the montherboard for my new build will be a =
Gigabyte GA-EP35-DS3R (rev. 2.1). It has one less PCIe slot, max 8 gig =
ram and no firewire which I don't use anyway. Mnnn, maybe I should have =
gotten the GA-EP35-DS3P, now that I'm thinking about it.

Hi Rich,
PCIe is the wave of the future. The extra PCI slot
might buy you a EDS card position. IRQs are important
but less so in these newer mobos/chipsets.
We're both on the forefront of Paris technology that's for sure.
Good luck,
Tom
PS Make sure you have the newest most stable BIOS available
before you begin! That cost me another 6 weeks of trouble shooting.
