...2nd PC is now up & running - kept an old computer that had
WinME as the OS; don't know why I kept it around, but I'm glad
I did, because I just swapped out the hard drives & CD/DVD
drive from that one, used a spare Antec Power supply I had,
plus the MOBO, CPU & RAM I just replaced in my main DAW, got a
$39 empty case from CompUSA, and voila'! Did the mandatory
multi-boot startup process so Windoze could find all the
drivers for this hardware config, but Paris seems to be working
right on a first-attempt install... no errors or anything!
Let the summing experiments begin! :D
I'll post some comparison files at sum point - get it "SUM"
point? :D this weekend... got a vocal session coming in right
now, though, so I won't be able to get started experimenting
'til later this evening.

Hey Neil,
Feel free to give me a call if you hit any snags with the Pulsar. I've been
test driving mine some more today and I'm still liking it a lot. The routing
capabilities of this platform are nothing short of a liberating experience.
I was going to get myself a Frontier Apache to interface all of my Paris
ADAT and Scope ADAT I/O until I discovered that I can route all of my ADAT /
optical I/O from within Scope environment the same way I would with the
Apache (given enough physical optical I/O on the Pulsar cards).
The more I get into the DSP based FX, the better I like them. I've got a
pair of snare tracks (over & under) being processed in parallel with the the
UAD-1 Neve 1073 and then bussed to a 2nd pair of mixer channels being
processed with the Vinco compressor. Awesome sound.
For my purposes, just the simplicity/intuitiveness of the routing
capabilities of this platform would have made it worth the switch.

Thanks for the offer, Deej - I may do that... it's not
scheduled to get here until late next week, actually, so it
won't be right away that I need to take you up on it if I have
problems.

What? You havent shitcanned it yet? (oh, no wait, that's
tomorrow - Sunday) :D j/k!
BTW I decided to get the Professional card (instead of the
Project card) for more DSP, and I passed on the convertors
(their A16ultra box), since I didn't want to dump too much
money into this experiment if it didn't work out. In talking to
Gary, he wasn't sure if I'd be able to sum as many channels as
I'm running, plus a couple of 'verbs, plus a few channels of
dynamics at 88.2k/24-bit with the Project card. Then I got a
lecture about using 88.2k in the first place... you know - the
whole "you can't hear it once you convert to 44.1 for CD's
anyway, and then you also get aliasing when you do, and in the
meanwhile you're using too many DSP & CPU resources" - blah,
blah, blah, yada, yada, yada... tell it to Rupert Neve & Geoff
Emerick (you know, the story Rupert tells about Geoff noticing
a "bad" channel in one of his consoles that they had just
installed... what was "bad" about it was a defective cap that
was oscillating at 30k).
Anyway, I believe I can hear a difference with those higher
sample rates - whether I'm fooling myself or not is, I suppose,
a point of argument.
Now, the other thing I'll need to figure out with the Pulsar
card is the whole i/o deal... if I'm going to keep the RME
convertors & use them instead of getting an A16Ultra, then I've
got two issues at hand:
1.) If I'm going to use the Pulsar card in the input chain,
then I'm going to be limited to ten tracks max on input at my
88.2k sample rate (I got the "Plus" i/o option so I could have
balanced ins & outs, which gives you two analog ins, two
ADAT/Optical in's - which are good for 4 channels each at that
sample rate - and 2 AES in's, but I don't have anything with
AES outs except for my Mucusrite ISA 428 with the digicard
option - and I don't know if you can use the AES & lightpipe
outs at the same time... anyway, maybe I'll be able to get 12
channels of input out of the system; ten for sure. We'll see.
In any event, that's a step back from my current 16 analog ins
(with my two Multifaces) plus 4 channels of digilight (using
the ISA card). Not a problem for most of the stuff I do, but
getting another full RAWK band in here, 10 or 12 in's might not
be enough for basic trax.
2.) The second issue I'll be dealing with by keeping the RME
convertors can be summed up in this simple phrase:
TWO ASIO DRIVERS... need I say more?
Well, we'll see how that goes, as well... maybe I can still use
the Multifaces & their own drivers for tracking, enabling me to
have all the inputs I need & not worry about interfacing the
Multifaces with the Pulsar card, and then release those drivers
for mixdown & incorporate the Pulsar Card at that point.... not
sure how well that'll work, but I guess I'm gonna try it.
In any event, I've just been messing with the Paris summing
thing right now. Got Paris up & running first time &
everything's working fine... had some routing problems with my
RME's, though... for some odd reason I no longer have Output
#4! Switched the two Multifaces around, swapped out PCI cards &
even PCI slots, still nothing... it's showing up as "active"
and "visible" in the 'Device Setup' menu, too; but no matter
what configuration I try, I just simply do not have Analog Out
#4 any more... weird. I don't know when this might have
happened, because I haven't needed to use that before.
If anyone can give me a hint as to what I might try, I'd
appreciate it!
In any event, I'm using 4 sets of stereo analog outs, going
into the Paris 8-in module, and monitoring off the MEC... what
do I think so far? Well, there's definitely a difference vs.
mixing ITB on a 2-buss Native mix, as I suspected there would
be. Does it sound better than a straight 2-buss Native mix?
Yeah, I think so in a way... I'm definitely losing some high
end, but it sounds bigger - won't be able to tell for sure
until I a/b them, but those are my initital impressions. To me
it sounds much like what you'd get if you stemmed out four or
five stereo submixes in SX, then re-imported them into a new
project & summed it to your final 2-track mix from there.
Again, not certain how close the comparison is, but tomorrow
I'm going to run a totally ITB Native 2-buss mix, a stemmed
Native mix, and a "summed in Paris" mix & post some clips so you
guys can compare for yourselves.

Neil,
Kind of a neophyte on all this stuff, but what about picking up a low
end pc just for multiface control(or you may have one in your back
room). Still just starting with the multiface thing myself, but I doubt
it takes any power to run Totalmix, and that would get around the
"confguration lost when power's off" if you run the multifaces
standlone. The multifaces would be relegated to basically just A/D
converters, but it sounds like that's what you want. Just use a KVM
switch (cheap one) to get to the piece occasionally if there is issues.
Just a thought

Hey Jeff...
No, I don't have a spare one laying around anymore - the one I
did have was cannibalized to build the Paris PC. I don't know
if I really want to a third one to the mix - I'm trying to
figure out how to configure this additional stuff now
(**physically** configure, I mean - not configuring connections,
etc.), so I don't know if I'd even have a good place to put
another PC; although you're right, that could be an inexpensive
way to go about it - I could pick up a cheapie e-machines brand
or equivalent for in the slightly over $300 range.
That'll definitely be something to consider if I end up going
through dual-ASIO-driver hell on the main PC.

There are ways to remotely access the other system through software and
a network connection, the KMV may not be necessary.

There are ways to remotely access the other system through software =
and
a network connection, the KMV may not be necessary.

Hey Tom! I don't know Jack; ) There is supposed to be a way in XP and OSX
to log on to another system over a network and toggle between them. Supposedly,
there is no need for a KMV switch.
When I get time, I'll look in to this. Right now I'm going out of town
for a week, so if you find out, let me know.

Tom (and James),
Two options (there are a lot more)
1 Remote desktop in XP pro
Xp pro includes this ability, it just has to be enabled. Xp home can
connect to an RDP enabled XP pro box, but doesn't easily sit awaiting a
connection (it can wait for a response to and "invitation" but I've
found that to be messy, and it's tough to send an invitiation from a
machine until you have control of it).
2 TightVNC
TIghtVNC is a GNU/GPL product. Install on two machines, setup the
server portion to autorun on the one that won't have keyboard, video,
and mouse, and connect to it from the other machine. I believe it works
on 95 (if you really want to!), 98, WIn2000, and XP (all versions).
I didn't suggest this because of the annoyance if for some reason the
software doesn't allow access. You have to go through the hassle of
hooking the keyboard video and mouse back up to deterine the issue.
With the KVM switch, most of them use a hotkey combination (i.e. ctrl
ctrl Enter)
Hope this helps.
