I guess the time has come for you to switch. We're gonna miss your Paris
adventures, and all your help.

Wow - now I'm shocked

So your moving to RME hardware and the Neve 8816 on the bus? What will be
your your final hardware / software config (or should I say current final
:) )?

Your posts help alot as you do so much research and hands on testing - you
should write something about your experences for MIX!!

Thanks again for all your help -
I use SX but always seem to move back to Paris as my security Blanket...
yea I know

Firstly (if that's even a word - I guess it must be
since "secondly" and "thirdly" are), I'm not really surprised
that the Neve-ulator sounds a lot like Paris... if you look at his "neve's
notes" on this thing, you'll see that eh says:

***You can expect to experience a classic risein frequency
response around 300 Hz and a slight ringing due to the pre-
emphasis at around 12 to 15 kHz., depending on the setting of
the 7.5/15 i.p.s. switch. Low frequency Third harmonic
distortion is probably the most immediately audible effect that
you will hear. The effect on certain musical instruments is
quite incisive, producing the characteristic coloring of a real
tape recorder.***

Slight bump at 300? Harmonic distorion around 15k? I remember
several years ago posting that these characteristics are what I
personally thought made Paris sound like "analog".

I just wonder how much high end we're lopping off with the tape
simulator thingy (IOW, how close is it to analog tape, are they
altering the high-end frequency response curve, as well?), and
also why they don't have a 30 ips setting on that thang? I wrote
the company to ask - I wonder if I'll hear back.

There is a definite change in the high end with this. *bright & shiny*
changes to *warm & fuzzy* but it doesn't sound fuzzy as in distorted.just
sorta softer around the edges. the 7.5ips setting ain't the dope. 15ips is
the ticket.

OK., they sent me a reply (very nice! fast!): In response to my
question about why no 30ips setting, they said:

***30ips was left off because there isn't as significant a
difference between 15 and 30 when it comes to frequency
response.***

And in repsonse to how much high end I'd be lopping off if I
inserted their tape-ulator across my 2-buss, they said:

***On 15ips, 20Khz is down 3dB and the slope is about
3dB/Octave.***

So......... dunno if I want to hear that rolloff, but I might
consider trying one.

Sounds like you're getting a bit of excitement at 15k due to the
pre-emphasis at 15ips, and a slight rolloff above that, with one
of those units (in addition to the 300hz bump).

Deej, does the 15k excitment come across as something like almost
an "air-band" kind of boost?

Hard to describe really unless you hear it. It's almost like adding
additional width to the soundstage while rolling off the top end. I know
that sorta' describes what some compressors do, but the Cubase summing bus,
to my ears, sounds compressed and harsh, lacking clarity, without some
pretty major gainstaging work done at many levels. The 5042 takes that
cluttered sounding harshness right out of the equation and the bus less
crowded/compressed when this is strapped across it.
