Hi gang,

I asked this question, or something like it, many months ago, but
nursing school's data overload has long since pushed all your responses
right out of my brain.

The question is, to version 3 or not to version 3? The only thing I
remember that attracted me to it was the ability to render tracks, which
sounded like a handy feature.

Any notable problems with v3?

Would it be happy on a old Pentiumosaurus w/Windows '98? Or would I
have to talk the owner into finally upgrading? And which OS does v3 prefer?

Can v2.2 and v3 inhabit the same computer without fighting over the
Doritos and the remote?

Should I just forget PARIS (like Debra Winger and Billy Crystal)?

Thank you so much,

Sarah

The Graphic EQ is excellent. Try it in XP. If it works for you it will
be a far superior setup.

I like it much better than 2.2. I'm using XP Pro. It also has some basic
midi features, fader grouping, a wave editor and more. There is one feature
that doesn't work, but can't recall at the moment, but nothing critical.
You can download the manual and see what's new - from the EMUor ID site I
believe.

Rendering: don't use DOS unfriendly characters or naming. No spaces, no
@#$^&(*_ type characters and use 8 or less characters in the channel strip.
It is indeed a very handy feature.
Compact files: Doesn't work, don't bother.
Midi: sucks, don't bother.
Ver3 also likes a little more cache than 2.2 in the config file.
Native mixes: just don't. They work, but they sound sterile and as DJ
can tell you they have some real dangerous quirks.
Another biggie is, welcome to the world of PACE. Scour the paris
websites and follow the instructions for use with XP. Also, realize that by
going XP your adat machines (if you even have any) will no longer follow
with the 9 pin sync and you can only have one adat card per MEC. Some ppl
have the 9 pin sync working with other sources, but I never got it to lock
up to a real adat machine. I can't remember if the adat machines worked for
some or not on ver 3 and ME/9x. I sold my adats and stopped trying years
ago - might not have all the details right on this one.
Version 3 also doesn't have the DSP effects list problem 2.xx does. You
can actually see them all when you add the freebies Chuck gave away (again,
see the paris websites for info hosted by various members here). Speaking of
freebies.... FreakQ has issues, you probably wanna skip that one.

Dunno about that. I use WinXP here. Seems like I may have installed to ME at
one point, but I don't remember details other than it worked.

Yes. Install them to different paths. Install 2.2 first, then 3. Something
like C:\Paris and C:\ParisPro would do just fine. Keep in mind Paris 2.xx
and older will NOT open a Paris 3 PPJ if you saved any DSP effects to an
Aux.

version 3 works with adats in ME/98. It's the jump to XP that makes adats
not work. The adat 9 pin sync works with other sources, (under XP) just not
with adats.

On Macs (not relevant here, but maybe of interest to others reading this)
Ver 3
also enabled saving of all Native (VST) Insert info in the mix. You no longer
had
to rebuild all the Insert effects everytime you opened up a project. Win
users never
had to worry about this...

Yes. Quite happily. There is a procedure however.

Hey, Dubya. Thanks for chiming in. :)
Don't say "procedure" . . . I hate procedures.
OK, so is there more to the procedure than installing 2.2 first and then v3
to a different path?
How's the kids?

Kids is good.

You'll wanna have 2.2 installed first.... presuming you have that already:

Drag a complete *copy* of the 2.2 install directory to your desktop.

Then uninstall 2.2.

Delete the original 2.2 folder (not the copy on your desktop)

Empty recycle.

Reboot.

Install v3 to a directory of a name different from the old 2.2 install dir.

(FWIW, my installs are)

C:\Program Files\EMU\PARIS 2.2
C:\Program Files\EMU\PARIS 3.0

After v3 install reboot.

Launch v3 just to make sure all is well. (you may have to tweak your new
PARIS.cfg file)

Close v3

Drag the desktop copy of 2.2 back to it's original location.

You're done. Now you can lauch either.

Now for my secret tip of the day, just for kicks, or for organization and
time's sake, for any folks who use both versions on one OS install, if you
got a folder in which you worked a project with 2.2, place a copy of the 2.2
executable in that folder. Worked the contents of another folder with
3.0?... put a copy of the v3 .exe in that folder. Double Click either and
they fire up and run just like they're running from their respective install
dirs.

I've mentioned this before but I think I'm probably the only guy doing it.
