buy another studio toy until I actually sit down and write a song. Up until
now its all been electronic instrumental tunes, but its time to get back to
the singer song-writer thing. Anyhoo, we got an Xbox. Not the 360, but the
"old" one. I've been out of the vid game arena for awhile, so its been fun.
If you're into this sort of thing I highly recommend Splinter Cell, amazing
graphics. And, we just got a new internet connection. Finally AOL will be
sent back to the dark place from which it came.

------=_NextPart_000_0043_01C60F9D.41F400F0--You bet! Actually, you don't have to do it that way. You could just
normalize down/up from the highest fader value in the mix.
I haven't gotten in to the automation or the automation editor yet either,
except to just make sure the automation worked after my install of Paris.
But its on my list.

it's gone, period, but figured maybe there's some odd secret place. But I
did a search on all files in the last 24 hours and looked through hidden
files to no avail.
Thanks for the responses, though.

I am using Paris 3.0. I only see the "normalize mix" option in the Functions
section on the Mixer. When I select it, it wants me to adjust the total
mix by maximun Db. I'll have to play with it I suppose. But I could have
sworn there was a way to control all faders at the same time....

>>Hi everybody!
I hope you all had a less crazy 2005 than I did! On the bright side though,
my brother's kids now live right around the block from my kids, my mom gave
me my (late) Dad's GMC Safari, I finally paid off the Honda Odyssey and all
the charge cards, refi'ed my house (15 year, 5.5% fixed), started a Roth
IRA, and I tripled my 401(k) contribution. I put my studio back together
after taking it apart to record others and to participate in Different Skies
( http://www.differentskies.com ) and I was able to finally add the KSP8,
the Eventide 4000 (wish I could afford an 8000A...) and the Echoplex Digital
looper that I've been lusting for. I even started playing EWI... Phew!
So, guess what? After all that, I should actually have time to work on
Paris again this year! Woohoo...! OK, question time - "Is WDM dead?" Is
ASIO the only way to go now? Is Audition the only program that requires WDM
drivers any more? What about plugin formats? Is VST the way to go instead
of DirectX or is that still up in the air?
Happy New Year!
Doug
http://www.parisfaqs.com
http://www.dougwellington.comThe automation editor is pretty cool. I only wish I could type in values.
For instance on bringing an entire track with automation up by .5 db.
Also, the shift/ fader for .1 db tweaks trick would be nice in the automation
editor,
Check it out though

>Hi Everybody...My first post to the group... Happy new year... Hey does
anyone have a suggestion for a intermittent clipping sound which happens on
random empty channels to the right of an operating channel? I know this
sounds weird but the channel can be empty with the fader turned down and I
still get a click every few seconds... It still happens with nothing plugged
into the inputs of Paris. I can see the click on the level indicator
onscreen. It can happen on any channel but it is always to the right of an
operating channel, and usually an unused one. I hear it on playback but more
importantly on my mixdowns as well. I have reloaded the software but as yet
have not managed to track the problem down...
Thanks,
Jim.One of the main double edged swords or using *nix systems is that at their
core they are multi-user systems. This creates some problems, the most seasoned
unix ninjas occasionally wind up with user based head scrathers. The upside
is that one develops a "feel" for permissions problems. This happens to me
once a month at least where I'll be working on something and say to myself,
"Wait, this just has to be permissions." Operating systems that try to "hide"
their multi-user roots (XP and OS X for example) have their own problems.
Which is why even my XP music box at home is set up to log into a domain
(a Debian samba server masquerading as a domain controller) and has three
accounts on it. I keep it that way just to remind me I have to worry about
it.
BTW - mapping the admin share would have fixed this as well ;-)

I hate to be the bearer of bad news upon your first visit, but what you're
describing may well be an EDS card on it's way out. Do you have more than
one card? If you do does it happen on only one?
Other possibilities for wierd clicking sounds are power supplies which are
not up to the task, though your description involving it always being the
channel next to a used channel sounds a bit more to me like it's the card
for some reason...
Hopefully someone else has a more positive suggestion...
Cheers,
Kim.

This is out of left field, but very pertinent to Paris...How's your Power
Supply, sounds like it could be on the way out or under powered for Paris.

Well, at least as good. And hopefully better. At this point it is losing
some quality. I am doing most of it in Paris and some in CEP. I am getting
plenty of volume, avg RMS level at around -12db. It really distorts the
boombox, computer speakers, and my truck speakers, so I have to turn it
pretty low. I'm going to try more eq to get rid of some of the hi/lo
frequencies that are not important to the mix.
To be honest, that is exactly why I am going

So you bring in a 24bit PAF mixdown file into CEP? I tried that with a
16bit PAF and CEP played it too fast, even though is said SR was 44.1Khz??
Same file as a Wav plays correct?? Anyway, I havent tried recording at
24bit in Paris yet, maybe it will be better.

Yep, every time I hear the mixes I will change things. I am also bringing
in other commercial CDs into Paris for a/bs. I'm a very long way from
getting anywhere close to these.
EdnaThanks EK, I know about all of that but I was talking about when you select
a whole tracks fader automation and want to put it up say .2 db sometimes
it will only go up .5 or so. The shift drag thinkg does not seem to work
for me at least.

------=_NextPart_000_0136_01C60FF9.E01BCEF0--It does work, until you get too close to "0"... there is a
bug that makes the auto data snap to zero when it gets
close. Try the shift thing again in the auto window... oh,
BTW, you have to be at max vertical zoom for it to work.
This means it will only work on values between -15 and +6?
going from memory here... another "feature". ;-)

You're doing this with "Normalize mix"(Ctrl+N). If it's 0, the highest
channel volume will be 0db. If you're setting it to+4, the highest channel

automatically be following with
+4db. If you need 2 more db's up, it's +6. It can be a little tricky if you
have some volumes automated. Sometimes it will not follow the "normalizing"
process, so you have to go into automatin mode(Shft+E), mark the automations
red and normalize it with the same +4db's in "Change volume"(Ctrl+E).
If you're learning the automation tricks, it's like a new world will be
opened up for you. It's a good idea to find out more about it from the
manual.

Thanks Dave. I'll give it a try. I rarely use max zoom but maybe
more often now. Features, features, features.

------=_NextPart_000_015E_01C61019.AB158960--Editing automation is easy. It's also in the manual. Basically you
turn on the display data buttons for either volume, pan or mute and then
turn on the edit data button for the same. Then you pick the tool at
the top to select, move, draw lines, freeform draw, erase. You can use
interpolate or simplify to add more values or reduce the number of
values easily. Reply if this doesn't make sense. 10 minutes in the
manual and you'll have it. I'll repost my automation notes soon for
recording automation cuz the ones on my site are wrong at the last step.

but a few things are not right......
Rendering Native/EDS/EQ doesn't
Compacting doesn't
Automation instructions are incorrect
Punch in Freeform instructions are incorrect
Midi .... skip it
On the other hand I learn a lot of the cool little things like using the
solo/mute buttons on the master fader clears all and you should never
move loop points or enable/disable looping during playback or recording.

utomation Recording Procedure using the C16 Pro
1. Stop the Transport
2. NULL FADERS: Using their Null Arrow LEDs on the C16, synchronize the
Faders of the Channel strips you intend to automate with their Mixer
Window counterparts (see page 214).
3. ENABLE AUTO: Press the Auto button on the C16. The LED will begin
flashing.
4. ARM CHANNELS: Press and hold the Select button on the desired
channel(s) for about one second. The red LED will light above the
channel strip, indicating that Automation Edit is enabled for that track.
5. BEGIN WRITING AUTOMATION DATA: Begin playback, tap the Select button
on the ARMED channel(s) to write fader automation. The yellow LED will
light indicating Automation "Write Mode". Make your fader/eq/pan moves now.
6. PUNCH IN/OUT: You can punch in and out of Automation Write Mode by
tapping the Select button during playback. You do not need to enter
"Write Mode" to write Mute on or off automation. Make sure MUTE is
disabled after recording automation.
7. Continue recording automation data until the end of the Project, or
press the Stop button when you reach a point after which no further
volume or Mute-button changes are to occur.
8. To un-arm each Channel to stop the recording of automation data,
press and hold the channel's Select button for one second. The red LED
will go out.
9. To activate playback of each Channel's automation data, simply tap
the Channel's Select button after pressing the Auto button (LED
flashing) prior to playing back the Project. Press the AUTO button to
disable it and stop the flashing. Make SURE no channels are Automation
Edit enabled. The "E" button at the bottom of your Mixer window fader
indicates you are going to write automation data. The "A" indicates you
will be playing the moves back.
Enjoy.You guys on a Mac or something? CONTROL drag works every time for me, doing
.1 increments, zoom doesn't matter.

>Hey guys,
I know that this is an old thread, but I have to disagree with assessments
on Pro Tools sound quality.
First, I mix with Pro Tools HD at our Church's studio for major release Gospel
Cds. Pro Tools HD sounds wonderful with low and high track counts and ITB
(in the Box) or summed to the SSL,
At my home studio, I have PT LE & Nuendo and while I love Nuendo's elequent
editing and nice soft sound, it's 32 bit floating mixer in a major pain in
!@# to mix aggresive Rock, R &B, Hip hop with. Onthe other hand, those same
mixes done in PT LE, have that sparkle and width. In Nuendo, after 30 tracks,
things start's getting "smearded" and tracks levels tends to get lost or
they don't sit right.
However, in PT Le, (same songs, tracks are not smeared, levels stay intacked,
and the overall mix sounds very professional, just like mixes in Paris..
Some local Engineer friends in the area( Motown), have been in discussions
about the state of current DAWs and what's working and what's not. Opinions
varied,but the one constant opinion that was stated was how dificult it was
to mix in Cubase and Nuendo on mixes over 30 tracks. No matter what i/o converters(Apogee,Lucid,Motu,
RME) mixing Rock , R&B, Hip-Hop is a dificult chore in SX/Nuendo..Where
as mixing in Paris and Pro Tools is not..
Hey,Just one Engineer's opinon.
P.S
Jsut for geekdum sakes, the new Sonar 5 uses a newly coded 64 to 32bit floating
point mixer..

You could set one fader to "absolute" and then set the rest to
"relative"... this would work somewhat, but the level relationships do
change as you change levels.

>Cujo,
Re your original question:
"The automation editor is pretty cool. I only wish I could type in values.
For instance on bringing an entire track with automation up by .5 db."
You can--first select the automation points you want moved (on a single track
or multiple tracks) and under "Functions" menu, it's "Change Value..." (command-E
shortcut on a Mac)
You can move values up or down (entering negative value lowers volume) by
as little as .1 db

>>Ed, to do the normalize thing, you first have to move 1 fader all the way
up to 10 (assuming you want to normalize down)it's best to use an empty channel
for this. Then, under normalize, enter the amount you want that fader to
go to. example, if yo want the mix 3 db down, enter 7. I guarantee it will
work.
You need to do this for each submix.

>I agree that the new HD systems sound good and I always thought that the LE
systems sounded better than the TDM systems. The PT environment has come a
long way, for sure. As for 32 bit float native systems, I've yet to do a
complete mix in Cubase SX. I still stream my tracks over a digital matrix
into Paris for summing. I'm hoping to take this to a new level in some
respects now that I've got a dual core processior system for my SX rig. Stay
tuned for the details.
Happy new year LaMont ;o)

I have a 2 EDS card Paris System and a Mec. with no extra cards in it
running on a Macintosh
I would like to know if it is possible to route Channel one to the Digital
out
and send it to my other computer, process it and send back to the Digital
in and route it back into channel one
if not how do I get any channel routed to an external device and back into
PARIS
Thanks
CliffordYes, all Digi and M-Audio products can be used in vst applictions.

>>Hey DJ(and family)!!
Happy New Year as well...
My findings are real world mixing situations. I'm not saying that you can't
get a great mix on SX/Nuendo, rather, it's just a lot of massaging here and
there. thus making the mixing experience painful. Unlike our beloved Paris
and Pro-Tools where just bringing up the faders and paning sounds like a
prety good mix. That's all :)
When Digi purchased M-Audio, that was monumental. They covered evry base
with that purchase. They can play in the SX, Logic, Sonar world and still
enabling the M-audio customer access to Pro-Tools LE (M-Powered)..
Take care,
LaMont

SPDIF Rendering

file? Or wish you could render native plugins while listening and
adjusting in context. No problem.
Open the Patch Bay. Clear all your SPDIF I/O connections. Physically (as
in, on the back of your Paris 442 or MEC) loop your Paris SPDIF in to
your Paris SPDIF out with a short cable. Go back to the Patch Bay.
In the Patch Bay, connect the "Mixer Insert" SEND of the source channel
for the bounce to the left SPDIF output (dL) on your 442 or MEC. Connect
the SPDIF left input (dL) back to the same channel's "Mixer Insert"
Return to complete the loop. Now connect the same left SPDIF output to
the "Submixer Input" of the Destination channel you want to
bounce/record to. Select "External" on the EDS insert on the source channel.
Enable Record on the Destination channel. That's it. Record away. You
can use your mixer normally while you bounce with no ill effect. And in
a case of good fortune, since the EDS inserts are after the native
inserts, any active plugins will be printed while bouncing. Great for
rendering AutoTune or various other plugin settings for different song
sections. For the price of time and disk space, you have unlimited plugins.
Example. You have a track on track 10 and you want to render this to
track 11. In the Patchbay:
Mixer-A channel 11 connects to MEC-Master-A Digital In Left
MEC-Master-A Digital In Left connects to Mixer-A-Insert Return10
MEC-Master-A Digital Out Left connects to Mixer-A-Insert Send10
Select "External" on the EDS insert on the source channel.

Since that was (if I recall) a 24 track mix that was big and loud and R&B/rock/gospel
I would think that would argue against this idea. However, it's a little
like the audiophile world sometimes where when the tests seem to disprove
personal experience the test is faulted instead of the experience. That's
fine, ears are very fine instruments and some are just better than others.
That said, I now work a good bit of my time in the finance world where fortunes
are made and lost according to the certitude of people in their experiences
or mathmatical models. Over time this has lead me to believe more in emperical
results than my experience. So if I do my own blind tests with the Nashville
CD and can't generate statistically significant data that DAWs sound different
then *I* will believe they sound the same. This could mean a flawed test
or flawed ears but that's my belief until someone can present me with more
convincing data.
But hey, that's just me. I've also done mixes of 30+ tracks in SX and think
they sound quite nice.

the summing CD I accurately picked the Paris mix, first listen. I was
surprised by this. Then,while later I got a friend to shuffle them around
and did another listening and I could discern differences, but couldn't
really say that one sounded so much better than the others. The AD
conversion CD that he did is similar. It's surprising for all of the hype
about this, how little difference there really is. There is more diversity
in the preamp CD, but not as much as you would suspect. The microphone
comparison CD is really where the rubber meets the road. This is where the
majority of the *color* in a recording comes from and this CD really serve
that up on a sliver platter.

My point was not to slam SX/Nuendo,but to say that:
-Pro Toools Sounds good if not great.
-(To Me) I have to work harder to get good mixes out of SX/Nuendo. The mixes
end up sound ing great, but the work involved is not as easy(To me) get maximum
results.
Take care

Since I work on nearly all DAW platforms, I can tell a Sonar mix. because
it has that very nice generic (non coloring) sound.
Logic-can't tell, DP, Can't tell, SX-I can Spot, PT-Yes, Paris (well Of Course)
and so can my producer friends. They can spot the a PAris mix right away.
