OK, I've been too busy working on my job and my car (new 1966 Thunderbird
is the ride, and she's lovely) and haven't posted in a bit. But, during the
.35 seconds when Deej was going to simplify his rig and go native there was
discussion about the way levels are managed from channels/busses to the master
output in PARIS. Can someone explain this to me in much greater detail? Keep
in mind I know my digital stuff just fine but I know less about how to design
a console than I do how to make and anti-gravity machine.
Thanks,
TCB

Here goes. Take one part gravity and two parts anti-gravity and mix
till you get a jell.....no wait, that's for the anti-gravity machine.
Ok for the mixing..........
Here's the Paris Bible on mixing levels
When the lights on the MEC blink you're screwed. When you have the
mixer window open and you have meters set to pre-fader, if the light
clips, you're screwed.
If you have the meters set to post-fader and the clip light clips on the
meters, it's ok !!! Use your ears here.
If you clip on Native inserts you're screwed. If you clip on EDS inserts
they are a little forgiving but try not to.
When you are mixing down to the submix and master fader if the clip
lights come on, your ok, use your ears here.
Make sure to setup your patchbay to +4 on everything possible to get
maximum signal. Like my line 6 amp has an adjustable output, so I crank
it up till it just clips on the MEC leds and pre-fader clip lights at
MAX output when your at the loudest point in the song. Don't let some
singer do a vocal check and not belt it out. Force em to give you
levels. Check, Check, One, Two, "Hey, gimmie some freaking level" !!!!
Once you get a NON digitally clipped recording the rest is in your ears.
BAD
Mec clip
Prefader clip
Native effects clip
Not so Bad
EDS effects clip
Good (PUSH IT! Use your ears.)
Postfader clip on faders, submix and master
Use balanced signal paths wherever possible too.
I hope it helps.

Ah, don't have any yet but I'll take some. She really is a lovely one. Standard
hardtop (no Landau or convertible), Green, in pretty darn good shape, but
of course there's a lot to be done . . .

Find my post that explains it. I wasn't using an oscilliscope, just the source
code for the mixer.
Behind the scenes, and without your knowledge, paris is dipping the individual
channels by 22 db. Then it applies 22 db makeup on the master. That's why
you can push the individual channels so hard and make things 'gel'. This
is what many analog consoles do.

PS
you cant use a scope, because the signals I am talking about are inside the
EDS.

So doing the math to sum em, do they run out of floating point top end
and have to drop -20 to get digital headroom?

Why do you think there is floating point in paris? It's strictly integer.
They drop the *individual* channels by 22, but show the actual levels on
the channel meters. Then they beef up the master by 22 to add it back.
It's just like analog consoles used to do.

I have promised myself that should this recording/mixing thing become a
viable business I will treat myself to a) a full dressed Harley or b) a
65/66 T-Bird Convertible
so far we're halfway there

I had a 65' hard top .. tre' cool man. The dash lighting, sequential signals
and flip away steering were definitely the bomb.

Hey Chuck,
I still can't find the original post you're talking about, but thanks so
much for piping in. That's REALLY interesting. I must needs try some new
things with the native systems I use. Wow. Funny stuff. I've got mean things
on my mind . . .

I'm scared of two wheelers of any kind but I love my 'bird. The one I bought
is amazing on the engine front, purrs like a kitten. But it has pretty serious
electrical problems. I've managed to get the basics working, the headlights
and (gloriously sequential) tailights work, along with the turn signals and
such. But the entire dash is dark and there's a short somewhere so I get
all redeck when I drive it and pop the hood to turn off the battery mains
whenever I park it. There's some body work to do as well but she's a pretty
sweet ride. I'll get some snaps soon.

Can you remove some fuses to the dash until you find the short?

Thad,
I wish I could write a simple vst plug that would mimic what paris does in
a native system, but I can't figure out how to make the (say cubase for example)
meters show anything other than what's really in the signal path.
It would be cool if only to see if it made any kind of difference in a native
mix.

duh duh duh, Thad (or anyone else) is there a way to set an insert effect
to post fader, post meter in cubase?
Does the resistor on a channel prior to summing in an analog console change
the sonic characteristcs at all? If it does it would probably be fairly
simple to model dontcha think?

OK, then how about this... (and I don't even know if this is
possible, as I'm no codehead, but...) can you make part of that
plugin's GUI package a separate meter that overlays the Cubase
channel meter, permanently/constantly, when that plugin is
installed & that particular view for the channel is selected? If
so, then you can make that meter read 22 db higher than the
actual Cubase meter and voila'!
And make it that nice pretty Paris gold color, too, so that
when they just look at the channel itself they'll know if that
plugin is inserted without having to go to the "inserts" menu.

What if we just drop the levels of tracks 20db in cubase and crank our
mixer out and power amps up 20db in total?
Would that do it ?

can you put plugs on totalmix on an hdsp9652 and send it back in on two
more tracks ? now I"m just rambling. hehe

Hi Chuck,
Here is the signal flow for the inserts in Cubase/Nuendo.

I tried that. I also tried creating busses, attenuating them by 20dB and
then applying various optomizers there, also tried lowering the main mix bus
and applying various gain makeup plugins there and all sorts of combinations
of the above on the busses and individual channels. Some of them sounded
very good actually and if I was mixing a lot of pop/rock/metal music which
lent itself well to this kind of processing, I wouldn't even think twice
about it. I liked it a lot. the thing about it that didn't work for me is
that what we do the most of here involves recording acoustic instruments
into microphones and mixing them. I need an unprocessed palate to start from
for what I do and the Paris mix bus works better for this than any
combination of stuff I tried in SX. Adding processing to make the bus(ses)
sound bigger, worked, but it also made the mix sound processed. I'm not
saying that it's not possible to get there though and I'm going to continue
plugging away at it in Cubase in my spare time. If Chuck/Skunkworks could
code a plugin that is colorless, it might be the magic bullet. I'm hoping to

What about routing every track to a group bus, i.e. a default project with
32 audio tracks, 16 f/x tracks, 16 instrument tracks, and 64 group tracks.
Then the groups are knocked down -22 db and then get routed to a) more groups
or b) the master. And the gain is made up at the master.
Even if this is cumbersome, is it 'sonically' correct?

Hi Thad,
This might do it. I wasn't really looking for sonic correctness, just testing
a theory that people who like the paris sound, could get a more 'paris like'
mix, by making the native app do the *only* major difference I can spot in
the paris code.
