...that I was contemplating switching from Mac to PC so as to take advantage
of all these potential new developments in the land of Paris. Is there an
optimum PC configuration that anyone can suggest that would run Paris flawlessly,
would allow me to use UAD-1 cards w/ all the latest FX as well as the current
Waves stuff (I'm in love w/ the IR-1 at the moment)? And how much would
it cost to build such a machine?
And then (and I don't expect anyone to have an answer for this one!), how
long for me to adjust to being a PC person?!?

Gantt,
Have Chris Ludwig build it and there won't be any problems.
It will scream out of the box.

Gantt,
I'm starting to think that its time to move on to a native solution.
THe new Mac Pro computers are truly amazing and elegant. When
you look at what you get for the price its a no brainer.(thats if you are
running
a commercial studio) The only reason imho to build or buy a PC is because
you
are happy and used to using one, If you are a Mac user why switch? Even if
you are a PC user when it comes time to buy a new computer I think you should
buy a Mac. I'm talking to the Comercial studio owners. The beauty of the
MAC Pro
is that you can run both operating systems on It. Not to mention the elegant
design. Try building a Dual-Dualcore system for cheaper than the Mac is now.
Remember the Mac Pro's have four proccessers! running at 2.6 ghz! and thats
the
$2700 one! You could run the new version Of Sonar if you want as well as
DP or
Logic. If you think Nuendo runs better under XP,run it under XP. You can
run
Wavelab on the box and all of these app's with pretty much the same hardware.
You can run anything you want on the Mac Pro,except PARIS. Like I said,its
a no
brainer.

And Quad dual cores are coming soon! ( Core 2 Duo) Me thinks January MacWorld,
or shortly there after.

This is good advice if you're serious about making this move work for
you over the long haul... You'll get a rig that will work out of the
box, and a good guy to talk you through any operational issues that
come up along the way... Why reinvent the wheel when you can get
advice from guys who build the dang things every day?
More time then to work on recording, mixing, making music -- the stuff
that actually matters...
good luck with it -- chas.

Correction, on the Mac Pro it will be quad dual core Xeon Processors not Core
2 duo's Yes, that's eight processors!

Yes! You need a utility app called "Boot Camp" This is not a emulation,its
XP.
Remember the Mac Pro runs Intel Dual Xeon prosessors,

Yep, Boot Camp lets you boot directly into Windows, which they suggest if
you're a gamer or someone who wants the maximum possible performance. I've
tried both Boot Camp and Parallels and I settled on Parallels, as I can have
two (well, actually I run XP and RedHat, so three!) different operating systems
running all at the same time. I upgraded to 2 GB of RAM, so it's actually
pretty zippy too...
Stay cool,
Doug

Can Paris make use of all those extra processors running Windows? IN Mac
OS 9 it can't... Am I correct in assuming that paris on a state-of-the-art
Windows system will run better and faster (more tracks and plugins) than
on my 1.25 gHz G4?

HI Gantt,
Paris will only address one processor. New Apple systems do not include
PCI slots for your Paris cards.
If all you are using is {Paris and its effects then you really don't
need a new system. If you are going native on the new machine then dual
or quad cores are the way to go.
Your track count will be more effected my your drive speed and PCI bus
performance. any Paris based effects will not be effected by the new
system. Native effect count will improve but will still only use one
cpu sense that is what Paris is doing.
If you are coming from a 1.24 G$ then any P4 or AMD made in the past 4
years will be an upgrade.

This is the reason I'm thinking about moving to an AMD 64 3500+ for my
Gigabyte GA-K8NS Ultra 939 mobo. It's likely to have more *usable* CPU
cycles than a dual core, unless I wanted to run another native app on the
same machine.....and until chuck gets his wonder app built and I can run
Cubase from within this and ASIO out directly to Paris, then native on the
same rig isn't going to work. What fun it will be though to have 4 x EDS
cards, 4 x UAD-1 cards and a Multiface on the same box (evil grin)

I definitely disagree with the last statement. The G4 1.25 is equivalent
to a P4 2.8Ghz. The only way to run Paris on a new Mac Pro would be to use
a Magma PCI expansion Chassis, and that is untested waters.

Hi Chris,
I guess my question(s) is this: If I were running Paris on a really fast
PC would I be able to run more native plugins (Waves, UAD-1, etc.) with
greater stability and, even more importantly for me, would I be able to run
the latest UAD-1 (Neve EQ/comp!) and Waves (IR-1 reverbs, mostly) from inside
Paris?
And also, if you were to build me such a machine, how much would it cost?
Feel free to email me if you dion't feel comfortable discussing this kind
of stuff in the newsgroup...
Thanks,
Gantt

Newer machine will be running Paris in XP only.
I have no idea how well Paris runs the newer version of the Waves and
UAD plug ins. You'd have to ask some of the folks experimenting with
that lately. As long as the UAD in communicating properly with the host
software and motherboard then it will use same amount of plug ins on any
machine. Both the Waves and UAD use newer versions of the VST plug in
protocol than what Paris uses so not sure how that will effect things
thing especially on newer plug ins such as the IR-1.
There some current systems that have 3 PCI slots available on both the
Intel and AMD side of things. Most boards only have 2 PCI slots and some
of the next wave of them will only have 1 or none.
The new Intel dual core will allow your to run them in single core mode
with a setting in the BIOs. AMDs you will have to buy a single core
chip. I wouldn't recommend using Paris in a OS running in Multi
processor mode. It will potentially run a little more "stable".
To put all this simply any new machine running PC or even MAC will be an
experiment for you. Even thing on the system was created long after
Paris software and hardware was discontinued.

I would need to know what kind of drive, ram etc. So we can talk
directly via email or phone on configuration and pricing things.
