chen works... the lounge works... the bedroom works...
the toilet works... the phone works... mind you the internet doesn't
work yet. I'm currently on some kind of wireless "go anywhere" system my
work is trialing (fortunately) on my laptop. It's due to be connected next
week though, and once that happens the newsgroup server will be moving with
me. It's currently sitting in my old bedroom at my previous residence in
an empty room. Doing it's job still I see though. ;o)

The great news is that this Friday night PBS radio are playing some great
funk! The other great news is that I have fantastic TV reception here compared
to the old place. I can pick up every free to air c

provide improvements with A/D-D/A conversion. If you are "mixing
only", then the external word clock would only give benefits in
monitoring while mixing. The internal bounce of the mix would not
benefit from the word clock as it is a sample by sample mix. A high
quality D/A converter would provide more accurate monitoring allowing
you to make better informed decisions on the overall soundstage during
mixing. What exactly will you be doing primarily? Tracking? Mixing?
Both?

Mainly mixing as I have a quasi partner who takes care of the recording end.

I will be running two rigs, one for paris the other w/Cubase or something
similar for UAD & Midi

any other thoughts

David has this right. Most later SMPTE sync units can run automatically from
just changes in the SMPTE location (no control signals needed). This is fine
if you are just transferring tracks, but a complete pain if you are trying
to run both units in a production environment.
If I was recording tracks on the MM1200 and wanted Paris to play along, I
would reverse the setup and use the 1200 as master.The only caveat with using the 1200 as master is that the fluctuations
in tape speed will translate to "pitch" changes in Paris, as it tries
to keep in sync with the tape transport. If you are just using Paris
to play back (as Gene said) this would be fine... if you are wanting
to *record* to Paris while slaved to the tape transport, I would not
recommend it.

David.

mixes are translating well on other systems including other studios in town.
Only thing I have to be aware of is my room is a tad hot in the mids and
highs so I have to be careful with the bottom end...that problem I'll be
addressing shortly with acoustic treatments

All in all I'd say I'm looking for a little more clarity in my mixes rather
than puch as I have plenty of that

e you thought about a 3rd career as a short story writer? A very touching

Good to have you back.

The guitar player in my band had to put his cat down the other day.
I faced a simillar thing a couple of years ago at the vets advice, but didn't
do it. Now that cat has come back to health, and rules the house again. I
don't like vets so much anymore. A owner just knows when it's time.
Now hurry up and answer all th questions.
