Hi All,

I am a former Paris user who still use Paris now and then, especially when
I remix old songs recorded in Paris. I gave up in favour of Soundscape which
I truly love.

Anyway, I agree with most of the comments about Paris and it�s sound but
when it comes to classical music, Paris simply has much left so desire. It
nowhere as clean and accurate as the newer modern systems, be it PT, Soundscape,
Nuendo, Samplitude etc.

I have a fairly large Paris setup and as much magic as it has it is quite
unreliable compared to the other systems.
For example: Paris can sometimes (randomly) add strange DC offset to the
files. It can depending on heat cause clicks. Aux leakage. Just to mention
a few anomalies. IOW to me it simply isn�t crystal clear and accurate. Also,
what is by some percieved as warmth, sounds to me like a bit clouded midrange.
I have recorded a fair amout of classical choirs in both Paris, Soundscape
and Nuendo. In this genre there is simply no competition at all. My Soundscape
converters (Apogee) simply kills Paris in clarity and detail. OTOH with pop/rock,
especially acoustic pop/rock (live drums), Paris can sound a bit more exciting
than the others.

Last but not least, sound aside Paris is a dinosaur. The routing options
leave A LOT to desire. The I/O flexibility is back to the stone age compared
to newer systems. The non-sample accurate editing is a PITA. Lack of professional
I/O options. Very rudimentary handling of native plugins, especially in stereo.
No bussing possibilites. No VST/DX on master bus. No delay compensation.
etc. ect...

IMHO most people who are sticking to Paris are doing it for financial reasons.
Given the very low price the SH systems are going for, the price vs. sound
preformance ratio is amazing, compared to other DSP-based system. In a true
professional enviroment with clients hanging over your shoulder, the compromises
are just to big, all IMO of course.

Just my 2 cents.
