(I think) on a box a while back, which is the same box which now hosts the
newsgroup, and, indeed, the same Linux install. There's a few new things
to get used to of course with the move, like getting around the linux command
prompts, and editing certain text files and the like. Accessing windows shares
wasn't as painless as I'd hoped, but, for example, getting a webserver running
was basically as simple as running the installer, choosing "Yes, I'd like
APACHE installed" and waiting. Basically it just worked.
Who'd a' thought? ;o)

No one around here does anything like this so the mad scientist thing is a
commercial plus for me.
There are 4 commercial studios here running Pro Tools, one studio with 3 x
ADATs and a D8B, one studio with some kind of Korg box sorta' like a 32
channel Roland.
The guy with the D8B has his own band and his own venue and primarily
records this band and also has a lot of business from churches, plus he has
been voted the national flatpicking champion of the universe a few times and
he's a good engineer so he stays busier than I do and has a nice niche. He's
doing a project with Charlie Daniels right now and has asked me to master
it. He also sends me other mastering work. He also does session work here
and we have collaborated on a few things because I am ADAT compatible.
The studio with the Korg recorder is a small room in a record store and is
pretty limited.
The four studios with Pro Tools are doing a lot of business. They are well
estblished and suck up a lot of the local business.
That leaves me here using a DAW that no one has ever heard of. Once they see
it though, it gets their attention and once they hear it, they want to work
here. One of my clients is a pretty well known producer in this area, well
connected and has clients of his own that he's bringing in here because he
*gets it* sonically having worked mostly in larger facilities with 2" tape.
If it weren't for this guy and the friend who owns the studio with the ADATs
and D8B, I wouldn't have much going on right now. Pro Tools is so prevalent
that people look at you with this blank stare when you tell them you don't
use it.
Having something different here like Cubase SX, that at least they've heard
of, sort of switches on the lights long enough for me to swirl some sonic
smelling salts in the room and snap them out of the *I gotta have crispy
audio* syndrome.

>HI Kim,
EDS cards will work fine with these slots.
Are you maybe confusing them with PCI-xpress slots? They won't work on
those. These are the ones that are on the Mac G5's and on Dual AMD
Opterons. Of Course folks on the PC side were smart enough to design
there hardware so that in the event you plugged in the 5 volt
incompatible older PCI card the machine just won't boot. Apple thought
it would be smarter to make it so that the G5 and the PCI cards goes up
in a puff of smoke if you want to install the wrong card. Go Figure.

Gee, much as it would mean I've been on a wild goose chase, I would LOVE
to hear that I can use a PCI 2.3 motherboard. :o)

Well I'm not denying that there's a commercial plus, but I'm not convinced
that you're *doing* it for the commercial plus. Hehe. I'd prefer to think
you just can't help yourself. ;o)
Either that or you do it just for our entertainment, or to make us drool,

I thought about that right after i posted.... just add the stereo mix
channel to the solo channel. Funny how sometimes writing out your problem
will help you find the answer.
Thanks for quick reply.
Feel free to share any other acronyms you might have come up with regarding
DAW's and general computer rock-n-rollin'!

>Jeremy,
I think the mojo of this whole thing lies in the tracks being summed in
Paris. I think it would be very easy to set up a number of routing scenarios
in Sxwhich would use the Paris insert and aux FX as inserts in cubase and,
that's something I hadn't really thought about doing. the Paris FX are very
good and this would really add a lot of power to SX. I might try this some
day.
The setup I have is really easy at this point because I've already created
the mix templates. It's just a matter of a rendering of all thee tracks to a
folder, a batch processing from .paf to .wav and then adding the audio files
to the desired tracks in SX. After that, it's just a matter of mixing,
adding insert FX, EQ and send FX in both Paris and SX with lfader evels
being controlled in SX and panning in Paris.
]The thing that is somewhat inconvenient about it is that I often tend to to
start my rough mixes while the tracking and overdubs are still happening.
The method that I'm using now really works best when all tracking has been
finished and the basic editing has been done in Paris. Still, I can see
some projects never leaving Paris at all.
Cool idea about using the Paris channels as inserts in SX though. That's
some original and creative thinking.
;o)

>Just trying to make a plan here for this new machine. Currently I have a
"Paris Only" boot of XP on my machine which is on a measely 4 Gig partition.
I'm tempted to go 20Gig or so for my Paris only partition, but then, why?
I mean it fits on 4 Gig happily enough, but I'm paradoid that it will somehow
get bigger.
I'm planning to have a whole bunch of seperate boots on this box, so that
I can mess with things without impacting productivity. A Paris only boot.
A "general music" boot where I can load Paris plus other music apps. An office/publishing
boot. A gaming boot. I'm trying to work out how big these boot sizes need
to be to plan for the future. I mean this laptop here only has a 10 gig OS
boot, which seems big enough, but it just seems like that's too small.
Am I having an attack of partition size paranoia here? I guess, in my 20
years of computing, everything has constantly needed more more more, but
I'm seriously wondering if we're reaching a point now where OS and application
sizes might start to relax in growth a little, or am I dreaming...
....or do I just need to relax and get more sleep... ;o)
Cheers,
Kim.....and, as an added bonus, in the post above this one there is actually
some body in the text. :o)I want to record at 24 bit in Paris. I don't think you can record 24 bit
..wav in Paris............can you?

>NeilPanic,
I got a little confused as to what you want to do by trying to
read the thread,so I'll try to answer the original post.
First,you CAN record midi into PARIS 3.0 but,its not ever
efficient. The best way is to use another sequencer that
handles midi better and sync that app with PARIS either
on the same box as PARIS or another box all together.
You could use a hardware sequencer or a software one.
On the Mac the only sequencers that I'm aware of that
sync with PARIS that run on OS9x are Opcode's Vision
and MOTU Digital Performer.
You must use OMS to sync either one to PARIS. DP uses
their own system which is called Free MIDI. It can also
run under OMS as well. I will not go into this in detail
because you can read about most of this stuff on the sites
that I we list.
If you don't have either one of these apps I would go
here:http://www.fm-music.com/v/ You can download
OMS 2.8.3 and Vision 4.5.1 for FREE. All the manuals
for Vision and OMS are found here as well. You can
record your midi data in Vision and that will drive the synth.
Just patch the output of the Synth to the inputs of your PARIS
interface and record. All the info on how to sync Vision with PARIS on th
Mac can be found in th PARIS manual from
version1.8 to 3.0. OMS will use the IAC bus to send MTC
to PARIS. When PARIS is set-up as the Master all you do
is hit play and record in PARIS and Vision will follow as if they
were one application.
You will need a MIDI interface and a MIDI device for inputing
the data. OMS with identify the interface and device..
hope this helps!
respect

I actually meant doing both.... SUMMING in SX and using your second 24
channels of lightpipe for PARIS loop effects back into SX.... and then
eventually back into PARIS for summing.... so some tracks would actually be
sent to PARIS twice.
I absolutely agree that the mojo is to sum everything in PARIS.
Does this make sense now?

Paris has been running fine on 98SE. I guess I won't mess with a
solid setup. I even continue to beta and run Samplitude on it, though
I test it on XP as well.
For some reason, I find XP really annoying and rarely use it in the
studio. I find 2000 flawless for my admin system and network but have
never used any audio apps on it.

Thanks,
DedricI've been using one for 3 years. Never had these issues at all. This sounds

Hmmmm......now, after I test the PVC, I'm going to have to get an
oscilloscope and go through each piece of gear in the studio and test it and
also I will need to create a grid in my tracking areas based on 6"
increments and test for phase cancellation with every microphone against
every other microphone on every square of the grid at every possible
relative rotational value and also t every elevation in 1" increments from
floor to ceiling, first using two mics, then three, then four, until I've
tried all 30 of my mics at every location on the grid at every vertical 1"
increment.
I'll report my findings when I'm done.
