Will The Weirdo wrote on Thu, 11 September 2014 08:14 | My best advise is to be patient and understand completely that PARIS is old but sounds fantastic. I personally have been using PARIS since 1998 and have over 1 million soundscan from my PARIS work. I went PTHD but came back to PARIS for the sound. Currently I match it with Reaper & Nebula for great sounding music.
Tips
-PARIS EDS PCI cards will only fit 2 per motherboard unless you either; use an extension chassis or use one of the Jetway motherboards.
-Watch the only PARIS instructional DVD, I actually re-watch it every year, just to stay fresh.
-Enjoy the on-board efx, they are not plugins like you think now, they are efx from Ensoniq DSP chips from their ASR & DP Pro gear.
-PARIS is not that pretty but it still is the fastest DAW for recording around.
-Enjoy & welcome to the family!

Hey Will,
Thanks for the helpful response.
I am in contact with Ron from this group and will be discussing what he has and where to go with that.
A few questions I have though -
Comparison between 2.0 and 3.0? I see there are issues with copy protection.
Mac vs PC? I can do either, but prefer Mac if possible, I have plenty of G4s around.
Thanks again for the guidance.
Cheers,
Mike

Hi Mike,
You can use a MAC, but only with OS 9, not OS X.
Also, all the development I have done is on the PC. Since ID would not release the source code to the PARIS app and Apple changed the underlying architecture of the platform, there is no way to get the PARIS app to work under OS X.
If you get an Intel MAC, you can always boot to Windows to use PARIS.
There are a few important differences between Version 2 and 3. Version 3 has fader and pan grouping, while version 2 does not. Version 2 has a bug that it will not show all the effects in the master list if they exceed a certain number. Version 3 has a graphical EQ, while version 2 does not. On the PC, version 3 has much better MTC sync capability. There are other differences, but these are the main ones for me.
I hope this helps!
Mike

Thanks for the tips Mike
It sounds like going the PC route would make more sense at this point. And that is fine, I can go either way, and it's going to get bounced out for mixing anyway, or do any of you cowboys mix IN PARIS?
How or where does one find a copy of 3.0 then?
Cheers
Mike

Whoops, wait, so you can have version 3 on OS 9? Then I would probably go that route, not PC.
