>Do any Mac people have experience w/ Waves 3.6 and Paris? I've
been using Waves 3.2 w/ no significant problems, but I tried V.3.2
and Paris crashed, so I've been sticking w/ 3.2. I'm curious about
V.3.6, which is the last OS 9 compatible update...
Thanks!
GanttI'm spending a dreary Saturday afternoon doing some studio chores and cranking
some lovely lovely music from a band that some of you may not know much about:
Big Star
BIg Star's main man was Alex CHilton who is more famous perhaps as the 17
year old singer of "The Letter" and"Cray Like A Baby" a member of The Box
Tops
Although recorded at Aredent in '72 and some a bit later, the engineerign
is still almost unmatched, I had met Jim Dikinson a few years back (Jim engineered
Big Star's Third) he told me that Engineer John Fry put everything he had
into the making of these records and pretty much gave up after them.
The songs, the playing and the sound are marvelous.
My good friend Phil Aiken will bakc me up on this, check em out if you have
not.
Start whith #1 Record and Radio City as "third" is a bit dreary.

>...if I have a L/R set of tracks (say a stereo piano sound, for
example) on indivudal tracks, vs. a stereo interleaved track,
and I insert a plugin on each of the L/R tracks, does it take
twice as much CPU power to use that same plugin in two
instances than it would if I were using a stereo interleaved
piano track & inserted the same plugin in a singular stereo
instance? Or is it the same amount of CPU power regardless
because it sees the stereo insertion as two instances of that
plugin?
The reason I ask is that I am maxing out my CPU with a couple
of songs that have high track counts - If I go to insert another
CPU-hungry plugin it starts to bog down, and I've always used
separate tracks for any L/R sound (as oppsoed to a stereo track)
just for the conveniece of being able to change the degree of
pan on one channel or another, and alos being able to make
slightly different EQ settings on the left vs. right side, if
needed... however, am I costing myself badly-needed cycles by
doing this?

Performed by Cheap trick, however.......
All the Big Star studio records are indeed fantastic.Either way will work. Paris lends itself to using two monitors, one for
mixer and one for tracks.
But if you use other apps they may be better on one larger monitor, for
example Final Cut Pro is great with a nice wide monitor for the
timeline. FYI Dell has a 24" wide screen that offers a fair amount of
bang/buck (when on sale it's between $800-1000), and at something around
1920x1280, a decent amount of screen real estate, full on HDTV res.

You're processing 2 files, (dual mono), 2 plugins, as opposed to one stereo
file and one plugin.
