I should probably know this since I've been using Paris for almost 8 years,
but can anyone enlighten me on ideal configuration settings (disk I/O, disk
cache size)? Are there any issues with standard format NTFS drives? I've
been using a 3 card system on XP for a couple years and now use the Seagate
drives with 16MB cache, but still have problems doing punches with more than
2 tracks. I always get the pesky "data could not be streamed fast enough,
set playback for a slower machine", message as the playback chokes. It
seems I got better performance years ago on a Pentium II. And what the heck
is a manual punch delay? Any input would be much appreciated, thanks.

Some samples are under Setup / paris.cfg at http://www.kfocus.com/paris/
Also, set your punch in to medium or long

Thanks John,
There's a whole lot of interesting info on that site. I still don't know
what a manual punch delay is, but I think it being set to short was my
problem. Easy fix. Thanks again.

I think it means when you do a punch by pressing record while in play or by
enabling through the jack on the back of the C16 that Paris will have a slight
delay before the punch happens and this setting deterimes that. For a screaming
pc with nothing going in short would work. Medium and long have been most
popular though and if you just pick long you can always slide the ends of
the track to adjust it to be just right after the recording is done.

It has to do with record ready buffer.. short delay means the time between
when you hit 'record' and when it actually starts to record is a shorter
time than say medium or long. On a smaller EDS system, short is cool but get
past a 2 or 3 card system and things start getting a little whacky. Besides,
Paris' punch isn't exactly super tight so generally you'll end up punching a
little early and peeling back in the editor anyway.

Also for me, doing a bunch of tracks like a drum punch,
using autopunch works a whole lot better than manual...

I always liked to set the punch a couple bars ahead of my desired point so
I could monitor the instrument up to the punch. The let me play on the groove
instead of being silent and then being told GO!

Then just slide the object's left edge to the right covering up the "pre-roll"
part.

One thing I noticed and could reproduce while tracking drums last week was
that Paris will punchin better and not show its ugly "data could not be
streamed...yadayada error" as much if you clear all takes/splices after the
now line on the tracks being recorded. Must be a HD seek / through-put
issues.

3 card sys on ME, 1.4Gig Athlon
