Hi everyone!

Ok, so I am deciding which version of Paris I should start out on. I will be spending the summer near the coast and have decided I should take my PARIS system and start working. Trying to decide whether I should go for version 2.1 or version 3.0...

I did do a quick search trying to find specific differences between both versions, but only found the main differences.

- Aside from version 2.1 being a workflow nightmare, lack of extended import/export OMF capabilities and the VST plugin architecture, would you say they are both equally responsive? (I have noticed version 2.1 has a considerable smaller footprint, at least in Mac).

- If I had installed version 3.0 in my main workstation, would it making sense installing 2.1 in the computer I will be taking with me during the summer? Or should I go for the same version on both computers?

Was thinking maybe version 2.1 is a good start point, to get to know PARIS and then upgrade to 3.0 when I am back here in the studio...Also, installing 2.1 would be easier, no authorization required.

Anyone around here actually prefer v2??

There are several problems with version 2.x.

1) There is no graphical EQ.
2) There is no fader grouping
3) The effects list windows have no scroll bar, so if you add a bunch of eds effects, you can't select some of them.
4) The MIDI Sync is basically broken pre 3.0.

The problems with version 3.0 are:

1) As far as I know it is not for sale as a new item anymore.
2) New activations won't be possible after this year.
3) The PACE code doesn't work under Windows 7 64.

I hope this helps with your decision.

All the best,

Mike

Thanks so much for the input Mike!

I think I will go straight to v3 as it really does seem to be the one version to be working/learning on. The golden logo is *much* cooler than the black Emu redesign...but I will have to live with it! Wink
