evel kinda distortion... nothing too
heavy, but also not simply a non-master-volume amp where you're
depending on speaker distortion only.
3.) the Guitar used was a '75 Gibson Les Paul Deluxe with no
mods whatsoever... again, not a hard-driving set of humbuckers,
nor a low-output set of vintage single-coils... kind of a
midrange level of drive from the guitar itself... nothing was
used in between the amp & the guitar.
ALSO.. for DC's benefit, I recorded a separate take of the same
little wank-bit using the e609, and the Audix i%, but using a
Mucusrite Red8 as the preamp... this pre sounds more aggressive
than the ISA, so I figured I'd utilize that for this comparison.
SNARE MICS:
Finally, I will be sending you a snare mic comparison using the
following mics:
a.) Shure SM-57
b.) Audix D1
c.) Audix i5
d.) B.L.U.E. Ball
All these were recorded simultaneously with the exact same hits
through the Focusrite ISA 428. Again, I wasn't really
concerned about which mics output the hottest, but I tried to
get them to be as close to the same recorded levels as
possible.
Things to note about the snare mic comparisons:
1.) Snare used was a Premier 6" Birch Snare w/Evans Genera G1
coated top head.
2.) All mics were postitioned about 2" off the top head and
slightly overhanging the rim.
3.) No limiting, comp, or EQ was used going to track, of course.
I am also including a snare file with 3 hits from each of the
above mics, but with a touch of EQ & Compression just for the
helluvit, so people can see how each mic reacts to that.
Every file (guitar or snare) is easily recognized by the way
it's named, and they were all recorded at 44.1k/24 bits, then
converted down with no dither or any other processing to mono
mp3 files at 12

>>Tom,
I been using Paris with a dual Pentium for MANY years. However, I remember
a few years back some talk between Brian and others that the AMD dual was
the problem. I do get sporadic lockups and uncomplete shutdowns. So I was
trying to find the culprit by restoring from scratch (since I was at a slow
point in recording). I am beginning to believe that Windows is the problem,
not Paris. Of course, try to tell that to Microsoft and they'll ignore you
or certifiably claim it is not their OS. I don't know the source code to
the XP drivers, but perhaps that has something to do with it (I'm using Win
2000). Many have claimed XP is the same as 2000 for the drivers, but I question
that because all audio hardware companies I am familiar with issue drivers
for 2000 separately from XP. And I don't use XP and never will. Please don't
ask why, but I have many reasons... cost is one of them, when the product
isn't worth two cents. My opinion... anyways... I am still hoping to find
the problem.

the price has come down a lot. I'm not sure if Kurzweil is even in business
any more.

Ohyeah!!!........synth voices.......DOH!!! I always called them patches but

The first sequencer I tried to learn was a Boss DR5. It almost put me off
electornic music for good until one day the lights came on.

The Barton, or 1.33 would probably work well as a Paris rig. Even the
Celeron if you're not using too many native plugins.

This would be much more effective for streaming VST instruments. Generally
speaking, it's good to have as much CPU and RAM as you can afford for VSTi
performance.
Also have noticed that everything

system up and running, with a quality like he was in the neighbourhood:-)
I've talked with Steve too in California with the same result. I'm using a
normal analog phone going to a converter coupled to a switch for the ADSL
modem. It's the best telephone service I've had in my whole life and it
costs me just about 22$ a month to have free calling to nearly the whole
world. The only thing that isn't free yet is the mobile callings but I know
they're working on it with beta testings in these days.

Solid VOIP depends mostly on having a stable broadband internet connection
usually cable modem or T-1 setup. DSL would be kind dumb because the whole
idea is the dump your local phone co.
If you have cable modem and a situation where you are constantly UPloading
lots of data to another location, you could run into some lost voice packets
