>Oh, I tried compact and as reported, it did nothing. Oh well.Hehehe......well, that's perhaps an extreme interpretation of the situation,
but I've basically been cobbling together something here out of new and used
parts that just don't like to play with each other sometimes but when
working, will do what I had envisioned back in 1997 when I bought Paris.
It's just taken such a huge amount of time and thinking outside the box to
get it all happening the way *I* want it to work. The part that is downright
crazy is the insistence on building this whole Frankenstein with Paris at
it's core and totally integrated in everything that happens here. I mean,
*nothing happens without Paris involved. When I'm tracking, I'm tracking to
Paris, but I'm using both Paris/Mytek and RME converters which are routed
through Totalmix and Cubase SX and then back into Paris. Then when I'm
mixing, Paris is the master timeline/sync source along with panning and aux
sends/returns post compression EQ'ing and whatever else. Now that native
DAWs have so much processing power, that's just plain wierd, don't you
think? I don't know.....but I like the way it sounds and the wierdest thing
about it is that I'm comfortable driving this jalopy when things could be so
much simpler and elegant. I dunno.......maybe not perverted, but somewhat
eccentric perhaps??.......but then again, I'm not the only one. I mean,
we're all here, right?

I mean everybody can buy a Subaru WRX, but not everybody can tweak the carby
on an old chevy V8 and get it purring just right. Gotta take the pleasures
where you find them. :o)

On a side note, and a really cool, or perhaps really smooth one at that,
I just went and bought a digital set top box for my TV. I'm not up to date
with how digital TV is going over in the U.S. but we were early intoducers
of it over here, but its taken time to catch on. It's getting much more economical
now though. I just went to my local grocery supermarket and they had a set
top box for digital TV for just $75. So how does it help me?

Well it gives me a couple of extra channels, and the extra channels happen
to be for ABC and SBS, and the ABC one shows some really cool stuff I'll
want to see, and repeats the docos and current affairs on the main ABC station,
which I'll find really handy, but better still...

....I'm now listening to jazz on ABC Dig Jazz radio. It's the only completely
jazz dedicated radio station we have here, and I must say, while I wondered
breifly whether I could actually spare the $75 over christmas, I'm mighty
glad I bought it. And much as I can tell that the station is clearly compressed
digital audio, the sound quality is decidedly better than FM radio. In particular
the stereo separation is way better than I'd expect on FM. I'm not sure what
compression they're using, but it sounds ok.

And my TV brings up

a picture of an open magazine, a cup of coffee, and a
saxophone. ;o) Oddly it seems to do this for every radio station regardless
of whether it's jazz, but it seems particularily relevent for the jazz station.
:o)

Cheers,
Kim.

Yeah, or perhaps a dedicated box running a convolution reverb?

It'd be be like having a couple of Lexi 480L's without having
to lay out all that dough.

You could probably run several instances of convo reverb, plus
a number of VSTi's on it before it started to bog down, dontcha
think?

something. Why do all of you guys use those clunky old Matrox cards? There
must be some reason or another, but one of the first rules of stable computing
is never mix hardware and software from vastly different eras. Don't put
your brand new 8X AGP Super Gamer Qautro nVidia card on a 1999 mobo running
WinME. Don't run Netscape 4.2 on Server 2003 SP2. Yes, it's a PITA to upgrade,
but dual DVI nVidia cards to run on nVidia chipsets are no longer horribly
expensive and it seems people here are giving up a lot of time and effort
to use a (let's admit pretty crappy) old video card.

Obviously, this same argument could be used to suggest dropping PARIS itself,
but at least PARIS adds some distinct value with its sonics. I don't think
Matrox pixels look any better.

Just wondering . . .

TCBYou will be pleasantly surprised with the converters and if appropriate, the
mic pres too (designed by Ted Fletcher). If you have the budget, I'd go with
the 1820M interface for Emulator X. The mic amps in here rival my best pre's.
Also, they use (arguably) a new topolgy called current mode amplification.


http://www.tfpro.com/products/info/26.php

The pre's are wonderfully clean, nuetral, and detailed. They are especially
good for dynamic and ribbon mics. My Shinybox ribbons sound much better
through these pre's than any other I've tried. It would also be pretty easy
to pipe them out to your paris rig, either via analog or digital.

BTW, I just got my matched pair of SE3's. More to follow... :-)

I've been checking into Sound Forge and Wavelab.I've found Sound
Forge 8 new for $170.00.Wavelab lloks to be $550ish;thats a
pretty big difference.

Is there that much of a difference between the two?

The master cd I do will be sent off of replication and pressing
if that has a bearing on what to use.

TIA,
PeteThad,

At some point, these old Matrox cards are going to just die. They are
*vintage*-purchased back in 1998. I can't believe they are still working,
but then again, I can't beklieve my EDS cards are working either.

In the event I upgrade to something more current, which dual head AGP and
PCI Nvidia cards would you recommend for AGP which are compatible (to the
best of your knowledge) with VIA chipsets? My experience with the VIA
chipset and

the on screen virtual strip. The big seller for me on the Tascam is the
expansion module up to 24 faders and the nice smooth Tascam faders.

Thanks for all of the tips. I didn't know the options were so much more varied.
I think I'll probably go for the M-Audio. Not too expensive, uses the Mackie
protocol (should be more software/hardware agnostic) and very nicely is from
the company that distributes Live so I'd guess support for my new most beloved
app will be good. Tascam is a close second though, but thanks to everyone.
