t;Yup, very true, Tony.
I can list the major flaws and limitations of every computer I've ever
had, and I've had a variety. None has been perfect, all have been
dissappointing in various ways while being the little miracles they are.
Which is not to say they've been equal. Some have been arguably better
than others _for what I do_. And some companies, at times, have been
more impressive on various levels than others.
So anyway, thanks for sending the new G5. Deej implies it sucks the best
'cause of his old G4, so I'm going to rig it up to my vacuum cleaner for
better housecleaning, and maybe do the furnace ducts while I'm at it. If
Deej could send his old G4 to incorporate into the suckage design, the
system would suck a lot slower which would make it easier to watch. The
G5 by itself would probably suck so quick it would be done too fast to
appreciate! :^)
Cheers,

ROTFL!!!
And I'm still not sure if you're serious or not... I suspect you are, except
maybe the last sentence...
Cheers,
Kim.IMHO, the Folcrom style summing device is the best way to go because of the
versatility. The "sound" of any passive summing box comes from the makeup
gain stage, which the Folcrom gives you control over. I'm not familiar with
the topologies of all the units out there, but I would prefer passive summing
to any boxes that might use true summing amplifiers (as opposed to makeup
gain stages). Again, this is for the versatility. The fact that Mix A sounds
better on Box Z doesn't hold much water to me, because I think that this
will change from mix to mix. Asking the question "which summing box is the
best" is akin to asking the question "which microphone preamp is the best".
Sometimes its a transformerless dual servo, sometimes its a sloppy opamp
with input and output iron.
Justin from Rolls has been on a bunch of web groups talking about his design.
It really is a box full of resistors and switches, nothing else. However,
it is well thought out with all the potential impedance and cross talk issues
worked out. Fortunately for us, that's all we need

The Bluesbreakers album wiht Eric is one of my all time fave's,
But the show I saw him do a few years back here in Boston was a complete
dissapointment, He just wrote it in.
This really seems to back up my feeings on "bands" with all the quirks over
a group of very good or should I say flawless ringers.

I’ve always loved this record. Amazing rhythmic themes.
The track “Theme for an Imaginary Western” is a great song.

Up to three Pulsars can be used on same computer.
Each Pulsar can have either the "classic interface" which has 16 Adat I/O
2spdif channels I/O two channels of analog in/out and one midi in out thru.
There is also the "ADAT" version which has 24 Adat I/O and two midi in out
thru.
So a combination of three "classics would give you 3x16=48 Adat in/out, 3x2=
6 channels SPDIF in/out and 3x3= 6 channels of audio in out (24bit 96khz)
That is pretty much what you need , right ?
But you cannot imagine what extras you get with pulsars.
First of all top notch digital sound with "Sony oxford algorithm consoles
!" with module consoles like 48 stereo surround track console ! and you can
use as many...
You will have 18 Sharc dsps on boards, great 1176 emulation compressor (Vinco)
also very good mastering device "Optimaster" fantastic synthesizers like
Oberheim, Moog, B3, Odyssey, which are considered the best synths on the
market now that emulate true analog sound !
I have them and I know it !
You can have the VDAT recording package whiuch is an "ADAT" environement
harddisk recording system with as many channels as you want with up to 32
bit integer ! not floating ...
Great effects (all dsp oriented) many midi in outs , you will have 3 midi
in/out/thru with 3 cards.
Note that Pulsar is a modular environement with unlimited possiblities.
For instance you can merge (whith Pulsar module) all midi inputs to drive
a single destination like a Pro Odyssey synth, or whatever...
It seems like Paris patchbay but it is totally professional with great graphicsyou can make money off musicians???????? when did this start??????
when did they get money???????? when did they learn to count past 1 2
3 4???????
;o)

I have thought about these products up against some years now. Saw some
demonstrations in Denmark some years ago. Great stuff in those days but I
buyed Paris for their great "future"plans, as we all know about here when
the future was showing more and more up. I know Creamware was in the same
boat some years ago but was lucky refinanced. A great German system that can
do about "everything" in music recordings, as far as I can see.
