here. Still, it would be a bit cheaper than
my local service for the two lines I've got here. I have two land lines and
two mobile accounts. Once they get it sussed for mobile phones, I will be
able to shuffle things around to use the one DSL line for the house and the
mobile for my office and I will likely save about $200.00 per month.

That will RAWK ;o)

nickHave you tried re-installing Paris? Back-up your effects files first
or you will lose your presets. Remember to re-boot after each step.

BarryI spoke to Erling on it a few months back too with same deal. I understand
he gets a bunch of free overseas minutes every month. My plan on the other
hand costs $1.72 or something to call the U.S. or U.K. for an hour... hardly
going to break the bank. ;o)

There may be better solutions, but those are the first two that pop into my

t; Thanks to both of you.This is about the same time you started on that nasty conservative bent also

I just tried the Transformer Bundle demo in Digital Performer.
The Soundshifter plugin is amazing! I'd love to be able to run it
in Paris, but I haven't been able to run anything more recent than
Waveshell 3.2.

Thanks,

GanttSeriously, this is a sad story. It's motivated me to double check my DIY
power distro I made for my band. I followed proper procedure, but the thing
gets banged around a lot, so better safe than sorry.

David, I agree with you here. I just want to add that I have also seen many
churches ripped off by unscrupulous dealers who charge them several times
what they charge other clients...while also providing poor installation.

Man, you got that one right. I am pleased to say that we murder
those guys as often as we can, and enjoy doing so. We go in,
do one great job, and the crook never gets another job with that
demomination again.

Sometimes I love my job...

me too lost mine in a migration.I've posted a ton of files from DJ on what will from now on be known as "The
Emu/Ensoniq Paris File Vault" web site. Be sure to look at the "Read Me"
files so you know what's what. We're still missing one file in Mic Shootout
2. It's the SE Titan normal voicing. I'll add it as soon as Deej sends it to
me. I've also added a web interface to make navigation a little easier.

Go here and check it out:

Enjoy!

Tony

PS - Deej, let me know if anything looks screwed up.Sorry Gantt, it's just a PC thing with Windows.
