1. The options that it offers are nothing short of amazing
2. The sound quality can be very very good when properly gainstaged.
3. Low latency monitoring is possible, thought the more money you throw at
it, the more "possible" it really is in a practical way.
4. The ability to use higher sample rates is no big deal to me. I did it for
a while. I really don't use them much any more.
5. I'm discovering that Paris was easier to use and sounded better with
fewer options. Yeah, bus compression is nice, but what bus compression gets
you in native, Paris gets you without needing bus compression and if you do
need bus compression in Paris, you can bounce down to a stereo pair and
compress the tracks (a type of parallel compression). No matter how much I
try to like RME Totalmix, it's just cumbersome and sucks. Creamware was much
better as far as I/O interface is concerned on a native platform.
6. VSTi drums will never make me happy....no matter what....never in a
million years.
7. The deal killler for me with Paris was lack of delay compensation, but I
have added enough outboard crap to my rig by now that I could probably lose
the UAD-1 stuff that I like so much and have invested a fortune in. Analog
hardware, Paris DSP and low latency VST plugs would likely float my boat now
that I have had a healthy dose of "the other side". I would keep a 2nd comp
on the side to stream VSTi's in real time, recording them as audio and I'd
probably be just as happy....of course, then I lose recall (sigh)
There really is no perfect world these days for what I want to do..........I
guess there really never has been, has there?
