I have completely torn down my Paris rig today so I'm committed to this. I'm
going to find all the original boxes (or as many as I've still got) and I'll
be selling it all once I clean up and package all of the components.

I've been mixing a project natively today/tonight. There's definitely a
different sonic footprint between Cubase SX and Paris. It's as obvious to me
as the sun rising in the morning, but I'm liking what I'm getting with it so
far and I think I can achieve something similar to the Paris sound if I want
to by using certain kinds of processing. There will be some growing pains,
but it's nice being able to just strap anything, anywhere I want.

I'm concerned about a few things. With the RME hardware, it's going to be
2ms hardware latency plus another 1.5ms converter latency.....right??? I've
never done a cue mix with this RME hardware. I track up to 15 live mics
sometimes and I'm not sure how well my AMD 64 4400 x 2 system will be able
to handle this if I'm also playing back 15 or 20 prerecorded tracks. I'm
also wondering how phasey 3.5 ms is going to be (if it is 3.5ms) in a cue
mix if I'm sending an audio stream out of a mix with plugin monitoring
enabled with buffers set to 64k to my Furman headphone system. I'd like to
be able to do this. I definitely hear phasing in a mix at 3ms. I'm not sure
how that would translate to a performer's cue mix in tracking scenario.
There may be no way around this with the RME hardware without using ASIO
direct monitoring. the whole point of my switching DAWs is to be able to
just fire it up and get going at the lowest possible latency in tracking
sessions without worrying about jumping through a bunch of hoops. I may have
to build myself a dual/dualcore Opteron system.

With Paris, it was just 1.5 ms conversion latency and basically inaudible.
that's a big deal to me in a tracking session. This is the reason I was
asking about the Pulsar. If it's latency is similar to that of Paris (using
the onboard DSP only) then I think I can use my current DAW. If I build an
Opteron rig, I think I will be able to use the PSU, RAM and HD's of my
existing DAW. I do not want any more grief with mobo/hardware compatibility
though. I'm doing this because I just can't get Paris to do everything I
want and I'm tired of the struggle. I don't want another struggle so that's
why I'll probably stay with RME or Lynx (I hate the Totalmix
interface.......Lynx is much better IMO)

Anyway.......your thoughts/advice and suggestions will be much appreciated.
