e and see for yourself how great this plugin is.
We need Adrian (convince him make appz suited to Paris) and we certainly
need wormhole.
It will keep Paris alive for things to come no matter where audio technology
will go.
You will always have Paris thus connected with modern pc's doing what it
is known to do best, sounding good when summing...
Please forgive me if I am being so pushy with this but noone else except
for Adrian (till now) has showed so much interest to help us ,Paris users.
I wanna convince him make an automatic LATENCY compensator for VST plugins
which I think would be great if succeeded.
Believe me if only two-three Paris users will sign this I will be having
no guts to ask him that or anything else.
This plugin sells for 49 $ only...
Please respond with signing also.
With regards,
Dimitriosi knew it, from the way he was always checkin' out kirks' phaser...

Well it looks like Malcolm Toft and John Oram are going toe to toe with new
versions of the Trident 80b console. The killer thing is the 16 ch. versions
are going to cost around $2,500.00. The Toft console also has an optional
digital I/O card. Can you say, killer front end for my Paris rig??? Check
out the thread at gearsluts.com under "New product alert!", Important you
start with the Toft thread. The whole Toft, Oram , trident war almost started
again, the thread gets heated.
Check out the specs.

http://www.oram.co.uk/
JamesThe mic pre on the Toft will be using a Burr Brown OP Amp mic pre, the same
as the Toft ATC-2. The rest of the console will be Trident 80B. Allen Hyatt
talks about all of the features though the thread. 56 channels at mix down
on the 16 ch. model and 72 on the 24 ch. model, this thing should rock!
There is also a 32 Ch. version coming out. I think I know what my next analog
console will be: ) I can't wait to hear them.

the SE stuff. We just used a matched pair of SE3's on some guitar overdubs.
We compared them to a matched pair of Neumann KM 184's and a pair of AKG
C460B's before we committed to them. The SE3's sound great. I think this
company is hitting some home runs with some high quality products at very
good prices.

------=_NextPart_000_00C0_01C5DCFD.30D3CA30--Hi,
First of all sorry to Rick and the rest of you.
I didn't catch it was a joke despite Mel Brooks is my favoured comedian and
I catch all his jokes (I guess)
Secondly.
You need ONLY Fxpansion 3.3 to have wormhole work with Paris.
No multifxvst, this is for UAD1 lowest latency possible...
YES it works with Mac and here is a list of working OS
List of working hosts - 2005/06/23 10:41
This is a list of VST/AU hosts which are known to work with plasq.com - Wormhole2.
(sync ok) means the respective hosts feeds accurate sample position information
to WH2 thus making the sync feature usable in that host.
Mac OS X
(- OSX 10.3)
(- OSX 10.4)
- Logic 6 / Logic 7 / Logic 7.1 (sync ok)
- Garageband (sync ok)
- RAX (sync ok)
- AULab (sync ok)
- Spark XL (sync not working)
- DP 4.5.2 (sync ok)
- Live 4 (sync half-ok, only works during playback and if there are no tempo
changes due to a bad implementation of samplepos in live)
- Cubase SX1 (sync ok)
- Nicecast
- Waveburner
- Nuendo 2 (sync ok)
- Plogue Bidule (sync ok)
Win
- Windows XP
- Cubase VST 5 (sync ok)
- VSTHost (sync ok)
- Ableton Live 4 (sync half-ok, same problems as on mac)
- Samplitude 8.0 on Win 2K (sync ok)
- Sound Forge 8 (sync not working)
- VStack
- Chainer (sync ok)
So for anyone interested wormhole's site is
www.plasq.com
There is a great forum in there to read posts about wormhole.
Latency is dependant on your buffer sizes and your host sending latency .
Cubase has automatic latency compensation so for me 4000-5000 samples buffer
inside Paris is adequate for 16-24 channels.
You don't care for

Paris is amazing, but I use it's EQ sparingly at most. Ulitmately, for me,
it's a glorified tape machine with an awesome built-in editing capability,
plus some well-documented gain-staging "tips and tricks" that sound simply
delicious.

Dale and Cujo,
Heres what I can tell you about the 46Ls:
I haven't any ribbons to AB them with. My experience with
Beyer M-160s was less than stellar so I am certainly biased.
The information I got from Jon at Shiny Box is that the Lundahls make =
the
mics more clear from top to bottom. I know John Macy is preferring the =
standard
46s over his Royer 121s on e. gtrs. I am going to hammer
them tonight with some crunch guitars for yours and my benefit.
I'll A-B them with a 57, 421 414 so you have some basis for my
comments. I'll gain match too using the same pre.
Maybe I'll post a short mp3 too. It's so subjective with all the =
variables.
I'll give you my gut feeling though.

------=_NextPart_000_005F_01C5DD70.7832ADB0--So, I don't think my question really got answered here, and I believe it
could help the cause for some people to read more about Wormhole's purpose
here.
What's the use of routing Cubase or another DAW through Paris? Obviously, I
certainly know how Paris can help a recording, but what's another DAW got to
do with it?
thanks,
-Carl AmburnHowdy.
I'm in the process of getting my Paris rig patched digitally to my Kurzweil
FX boxes via an MAudio Digipatch.
As far as I am able to tell, I have everything physically patched properly.
As a matter of fact, I get word-clock lock on both Kurzweil boxes from my
Lucid master clock (via the SPDIF ins and outs on Paris), and the first FX
box sends and receives audio data seamlessly, at least on submix1/MEC1 via
an aux send set to "external".
I am not, however, having any luck after that. No other Digipatch "patches"
seem to work, whether it's simultaneously patching the 2nd FX box to
submix2/MEC2, or switching the 1st FX box to another submix/MEC.
I have a three-card, three-MEC system, and thought I has sussed out the
layout of my physical cabling pretty well. Is there something I don't
understand about the Paris aux modules? I was under the impression that each
submix had its own complement of 8 aux modules, independently of the other
submixes...I'm probably being stupid somehow...
Confused,
JimmyIf you're streaming tracks through Cubase SX into Paris there are certain
advantages while mixing. I'm doing it with multiple hardware cards in Cubase
SX and multiple ADAT modules in Paris.
Wormhole might save a lot of hassle and a lot of hardware if it works. The
way I do it requires absolutely no nudging of tracks inside Paris because
they are all resident in SX.
The advantages have to do with the bussing options in SX and with the
automatic delay compensation. It's also just a little bit involved. I'm
posting up a word.doc explaining how it works.

OK here's a question for the Wormhole expersts here...
What if I want to use a 2nd PC as an external piece of hardware
exclusively for plugin's (kinda like if I had a TC Powercore or
one of those Muse Receptor thingies); could I use Wormhole to
do this, in terms of connecting the two PC's?

Dimitrios' findings are accurate, you could set up a mix template in Paris
with all tracks compensated using his various proggies and the FXPansion 3.3
and have low enough latency (40ms?) that you could use Paris automation
without a problem. If this was a rock solid situation, then Paris ADAT
modules wouldn't be necessary. I don't know if this would be possible to do
with something like the VStack.

>Do you have the Digipatch software properly loaded so you can control the
routing from the Digipatch control panel on your computer desktop? If not,
this could be your problem......just a routing issue.......however, having
said this..........if you have done this and still aren't having any joy,
then it sounds to me like your MEC on Submix 2 isn't clocking properly. This
is the rub with using multiple MECs with an external clock. Sometimes there
a train wreck with the clocking.
Have you added the UseHouseSync=1 line to your Paris .cfg file?
Subsequently, have you opened Paris from the Paris.exe file in the Emu
directory in your Program Files directory, set the sync source to Word
Clock, then saved this to your Emu folder as defaultproject.ppj?
Also, always be sure to turn your house clock on before you power up your
MECs and then afterwards boot Paris from a desktop shortcut to the
defaultproject.ppj that you created and saved in the Emu directory.
You gotta' jump through a number of hoops and then it's not always reliable.
I always boot up my system at least two hours before a session to get it
stabilized before the talent shows up.
If you have done all of the above things and you're still not getting the
other MECs to clok to WC, launch your defaultproject.ppj and then toggle the
sync source to internal. Let it sit until it quits popping and
fussing........then toggle it back to WC and let it pop and fuss until it
settles down. You can usually tell when it's locked up because you will hear
a loud pop, then it stabilized. this can sometimes take 5-10 seconds to
happen.
Dontcha' just love Paris?

hahah! Good one.

Sorry about your friend. My sister passed last year. 2 years
younger than me. Not yet 50...
It's the most amazing thing to live in a world where someone is
so clearly and unmistakably *missing*.
You know what I mean?
DCWhoa.
That is a few hoops there.
I'll give it all a try and get back atcha.

>Can I use Wormhole with a standalone VST rack of some sort to route audio
from a Paris insert or aux, though the VST rack and then return it to
Paris..........with 40ms latency?? I will want to use my 4 x UAD-1 cards in
the VST Rack and I will need low enough latency in Paris that I can keep my
tracks in Paris and use the Paris mix automation without problem. I think I
saw Dimitrios post here that he had achieved somewhere around 40ms latency
using the FXPansion VST/DX wrapper? Not sure why he would need this if the
UAD-1 cards are in another machine...........but anyway........can this be
done somehow? If it involves using Cubase SX.........well, I've already got
that happening with no latency as long as all tracks are being played back
in SX. I need the tracks to stay in Paris and to process them either
elsewhere, or in Paris with low enough latency that I can set up a mix
template with 48 tracks and mix in Paris using the Paris
automation............wait, didn't I already say that?

Is it? Well, OK then.... so how would I route it hard-
connection-wise... USB? Firewire?
NeilHey Dimitrios,
Definitely count me in. I just got a reply back today from them from a
couple of weeks ago re: syncing paris/nuendo and they referred back to you.
So obviously they're aware of the interest from the group.

Cujo,
I know what you're saying about the hi-gain sounds. The
414 is always abrassive here. I have been a 57 lover from
the getgo but am always fighting to reproduce what's coming from
the amp in the control room. =20
If the 121s can be murky maybe that will be true with the Shiny Box
also. I can say they accept paris high end eq very gracefully. Not
like a 57 or a 414. =20
The jury is in session as we speak...
Tom

------=_NextPart_000_0094_01C5DD93.AA2241F0--I put the Digipatch software on the back burner in order to try the rest of
your suggestions first.
I'll be damned if it didn't work.
Doug, you're a peach. My feeling of victory was electric. Such an easy
15-minute fix.
What sort of dodginess should I expect? You spoke of unreliability...

It works over your network connection – TCPIP. As long as you don’t have
a software firewall blocking internal computer-to-computer traffic, it should
work fine. You do need to run basic Windows or Macintosh networking and have
both computers on the network.
I run a complex setup where multiple windows PCs and Macs all communicate
with each other using a combination of ADAT, SPDIF and analog interconnections
plus Wormhole interconnections, but WormHole works fine in a simple two computer
setup.
WormHole has two basic operational modes:
1. You send from computer A (from a VST insert) to computer B (to a VST insert).
This is the mode you would use to send tracks from a computer running a program
like Cubase to a second computer running Paris as a summing bus.
2. Your WormHole insert sends to, and returns from a second computer.
In this mode WormHole is inserting a loop that allows you to go to a second
computer, pick up something like a convolution reverb, and return it to the
same channel as if it was a local effect. This is just like the Waves hardware
boxes work. In this mode WormHole can use ADC if the host supports it.It's weird, how many people are using native plugins.
I've not used the UAD-1, so I felt the need to pipe up with that caveat.
But it is astounding how bad plugins sound, and how much time you can spend
trying to get them to sound good; but when you plug in an 1176 or a 1073 EQ
or a nice FX box (or even an RNC compressor), it takes about 10 seconds
before things just make more sense sonically. Outboard is still light-years
ahead of plugins, in my somewhat informed opinion.

Here's what I did on the mic shootout.
I set all mics 6" from center of speakers
for the Twin and 4" from the Rocktron.
2x12s in each setup. Two mics on each facing
center from very close to center. Sent all mics
through the Precision 8 pre and matched gain
by eye on the meters then later by eye in the
editor. One performance for each of four tracks.
Shure 57, Senn 421, AKG 414 ULS and Shiny Box 46L.
Used a Rocktron Taboo Twin for hi gain with a Guild
Strat/Jackson type with Seymour Duncans. Used a=20
'61 Jazz Master through a '82 tube Twin for jazz and blues.
Track 1. 57 Jazz
2. 421 Jazz
3. 414 Jazz
4 . 46L Jazz
5. 57 Blues
6. 421 Blues
7. 414 Blues
8. 46L Blues
9. 57 Hi gain Rhythm
10. 421 Hi gain Rhythm =20
11. 414 Hi gain Rhythm
12. 46L Hi gain Rhythm
13. 57 Higher gain Lead
14. 421 Higher gain Lead =20
15. 414 Higher gain Lead
16. 46L Higher gain Lead=20
The mic placement is obviously not right for all sounds and mics
in any of the scenarios. It is however consistent. You can make your
own decisions about sounds, placement, mic choice after listening.
Again, If you want to hear the shootout I have 192k mp3s of the whole =
thing.
They are Ogg Vorbis or .ogg . Winamp has no problem playing them.
The difference from mic to mic is quite obvious so a .wav is not needed.
I'll post my opinions after a few others have chimed in.
Glad to be of service,
Tom

mlI posted Tom's files up on my web site for anyone who wants to take a
listen.

Here's what I did on the mic shootout.
I set all mics 6" from center of speakers
for the Twin and 4" from the Rocktron.
2x12s in each setup. Two mics on each facing
center from very close to center. Sent all mics
through the Precision 8 pre and matched gain
by eye on the meters then later by eye in the
editor. One performance for each of four tracks.
Shure 57, Senn 421, AKG 414 ULS and Shiny Box 46L.
Used a Rocktron Taboo Twin for hi gain with a Guild
Strat/Jackson type with Seymour Duncans. Used a
'61 Jazz Master through a '82 tube Twin for jazz and blues.
Track 1. 57 Jazz
2. 421 Jazz
3. 414 Jazz
4 . 46L Jazz
5. 57 Blues
6. 421 Blues
7. 414 Blues
8. 46L Blues
9. 57 Hi gain Rhythm
10. 421 Hi gain Rhythm
11. 414 Hi gain Rhythm
12. 46L Hi gain Rhythm
13. 57 Higher gain Lead
14. 421 Higher gain Lead
15. 414 Higher gain Lead
16. 46L Higher gain Lead
The mic placement is obviously not right for all sounds and mics
in any of the scenarios. It is however consistent. You can make your
own decisions about sounds, placement, mic choice after listening.
Again, If you want to hear the shootout I have 192k mp3s of the whole thing.
They are Ogg Vorbis or .ogg . Winamp has no problem playing them.
The difference from mic to mic is quite obvious so a .wav is not needed.
I'll post my opinions after a few others have chimed in.
Glad to be of service,
Tom

Okay I did the mic shoot out but the files are way too large to
post here. It's 6 Meg. 16 tracks in all. If you want 'em I can email
them to you unless you have another way. I don't really want to be
printing disks.
TomBut last in spelling...right?

>>Hello guys.. Just bought a new MOBO.. and need to see if any has an opinion
about it..
MOBO = Abit AV8 - 3RD EYE. ( Socket 939 Based AMD 64 CPU.)
Chipset : VIA K8T800 PRO/ VT 8237
2 SATA 150 PORTS.
Up to 4 Gigas of DUAL CHANNEL DDR ( 1 ) RAM..
( Choosing between AMD 64 3200+ ( 2 G.H )- OR 3500+ ( 2.2 G.H )
intending to put 4 EDS cards ob board..
AND .. YES.. AND a 002 rack( which the MOBO meets the reqirements of )
( the MOBO has a firewire port built in)
the QUESTION IS.. WHEN it comes to Paris .. running WIN XP and all ..Should
I take it back to the store and find another one ? or ???What the heck is an ogg file? Some sort of mac format or something?

>Ogg Vorbis is an open source audio compression similar to mp3, etc. If you
do a search for Ogg Vorbis on Google you'll find several free players or
plugins for players that work well. Winamp works great on the PC side and I
found a plugin called Ogg Drop X for iTunes on the Mac side that works well.
Ogg Vorbis compression sounds very good, much better than mp3 IMHO, but not
quite as good as AAC on the Mac. Anyway, that's it in a nutshell.

TIA,
PeteI remember DJ had done some mic comparisons a while back and some other
various test recordings, etc. I'm sure others have done similar
"experiments". If anyone has any audio files, songs, pictures, instructions,
tips, heck anything they'd like to post on the net for easy access by
others, I'm offering space on my web server to host the files. I've got a
good hosting package and don't use anywhere close to my bandwidth or storage
limits. Anyway, anyone who wants to make basically anything (music and/or
PARIS related that is) available through the web, send me an email. If the
files aren't too big (10 megs or smaller) you can just email them and I'll
create a folder on my site for you and post a link back here on the group.
If they're big files, you can send me a disc and I'll post it up.
Email me at this address: tony@mercysakes.com. This address can handle
bigger files.

Check out Tom Bruhl's mic shootout files here:
http://www.mercysakes.com/paris/tbruhl110105I bought Russ Long's Guide to Nashville Recoding DVD a while back and he has
a rack of the Daking EQ's. He spoke highly of them. I know it's third party
twice removed info, but there it is for what it's worth.

PS - As far as the DVD goes, I basically learned that I know more than I
thought I did. :>) The one tip I didn't know and am going to try this week
is using a figure-eight pattern mic on the hi hat placed parallel to the
floor (hats), four inches or so off the top and an inch or two in. As long
as you don't mind some room sound on the track, he said the figure-eight
pattern is tighter off axis and rejects more of the other drums. Now all I
need is $30,000 to duplicate his preamp and EQ racks and I'm all set! ;>)

I would buy Wormhole if I saw any benefit to my situation but I'm not =
sure
it will help me. I like staying in Paris. The only thing that would
help me is to use a second computer with Cubase to send softsynths
to Paris and/or process outboard DX/VST effects for Paris global
or even inserts if extra dsp was needed. =20
From what I know it won't help me greatly for any of these things =
without
tying down the CPU and still have latency issues. I'd do better using
realtime ADAT in/out and I already have that.
If I'm wrong tell me why. With Paris being the mother ship I don't see =
any
great options here. On the other hand I'd be glad to buy a latency =
compensating
version of Paris when that comes down the pike. I won't hold my breath =
waiting
though.=20
Thanks Dimitrios for your work. I'm sure many will still benefit from =
your effort.
