Actually, I was referring to the 'native' submixing in ver 3 - which is to
be avoided if you can IMHO. Likely it's the same engine if you saw it around
the same time but I have no factual basis for that other than common sense
puzzle assembling.

I don't know, but my thinking is that since they'll be tapping the Paris
DSP/EDS cards that there probably is an advantage. I'm not sure of any of it
obviously since Mike hasn't created (to my knowledge, though I'm not in the
center of the data loop) any ASIO drivers yet. What I do understand is that
they will connect into the new Paris EDS drivers layer and that's a big one
for me...... onboard DSP has always been and still is IMO the way to low
latency w/o wierdo ghosts in the machine. Tapping the EDS is still very much
a smart thing to do even this far into the native years. I have dual and
quad core machines..... Paris is still so much more solid feeling and
constant in how it acts on a lowly AMD 1900+. If I can have that tied up
through ASIO to a native app, man o man are we headed for fun times with
very (if any) minimal hassles on our machines. Kinda like the old tape days
when you just slapped it on the real and started dialing the mixer, it all
just worked like it was supposed to.

What will, to me, be VERY interesting is to see if we can still have 24 and
16 bit files in the same project and how it sounds/ties into the EDS DSP:)

The guys at Reaper (Justin F in particular I am familiar with - no slights
meant to anyone else there) have a lot of smarts, so it'll be pretty
interesting times if we can get the open developers and the Reaper club into
the paris thing. I think they'll pick up a lot of business if they pull it
out with PAF and PPJ support and the ASIO driver does what I believe it will
do.

One of the nicer things would be that you could now take a project portable
for edits and show'n'tell type projects, or field work, using native Reaper
to track/edit and when you cut the real deal to mixdown use the EDS DSP for
the sonic improvement it imparts.

The other part of the equation, for me at least, is something Paris never
could offer with it's application software. Midi that doesn't suck, and
native borne instruments (DXi/VSTi).
