Assuming I can talk the studio owner out of replacing Paris with his budget
Pro Tools M thing, I had a couple other ideas that might appease the hungry
techie in him.
One idea, what if we just upgrade the Paris computer? How risky is that?
It's so old, I don't even know what it is anymore, and that makes me a bit
nervous starting on a new CD project. If I do the "properties" thing, it
tells me that I have a "GenuineIntel x86 Family 6 Model 8 stepping 3,"
whatever the hell that means. It's pentium III or Celeron or something
right? Anyway, it's got a whopping 192 mb of RAM, and a mind-boggling 26 GB
of hard drive (two 4 gigs and one 18 gig). Would Paris be OK with a new
computer? Does it run in XP? Other potential problems . . . ?
Another idea would be to not only upgrade the computer, but also to expand
Paris using the spare system I have hibernating in my closet to give us 32
tracks. What does that involve aside from plugging in another EDS card?
I know you guys have discouraged me from doing anything to a working Paris
rig, but this thing's at least 7 years old, maybe more, and I hate for it to
have a coronary right in the middle of our new CD project.
I don't know. Just thinking out loud here. And I heard there was a guy
around here who could build us a killer Paris system. :)
I'd like to say thank you on behalf of the band and ourselves . . .
