Hi Guys/Gals-

I need to convert a project tracked in Paris to either .wav or .aif to mix
in Samplitude V9. I would need the start a times to be the same and have
no effects, is there any way for me to do this with out having Paris?

thanks

PafWav convert (free utility, not sure if it's still online somewhere), or Wavelab also reads and converts paf files.

Someone else might have some suggestions.

Cheers,

TC

Just make sure that you consolidate your tracks when exporting from paris, so they all start at 0.

Paris actually has one of the best functions for that compared to even newer software, but I found that
it can glitch at times. You just have to watch it.

Cheers,

TC

Ok, I think that answers my question. In other words, I would still have to
line up and consolidate the tracks in Paris, correct?

The problem is that I dont have access to Paris, only the hard drive that
the projext are contained on.

So I guess that leads me to my next question:

Anybody here be willing to do the conversions? I of course would be willing
to pay for your time.

Nappy! Good to see you still here man! Oh, where to start... Well,
I've been seeing guys around me getting old, and some dying, :( so I
started to re-evaluate my life. In June, I got serious about getting
some aerobic exercise. I started riding a road bike five days a week.
(Lost 15 pounds in less than 3 weeks.) I even competed in the Arizona
State Time Trials and I might compete in the El Tour de Tucson next
month.

My son damaged his knee, so he hasn't been able to play soccer or
baseball for six months, so we've been doing other things. For
example, a week and a half ago, we were up at Sunrise Ski for a
downhill mountain bike race. My daughter took first place in her
class, my wife took second in hers, and my son took third in his! We
got about four inches of snow on that Sunday too - it was beautiful!
I hadn't really been in snow since 1985 - forgot about that lovely
crunching sound and the stillness - ahhh...

We had a pack rat invasion earlier this year - the little bastards
took all of my stained glass patterns and shredded them into a nest!
They also hauled most of the sandpaper off, and they chewed into
almost every cardboard box in my garage! I moved a lot of stuff onto
the back porch and then the little $#!^s took over the porch, even
chewing under the back door to come into the house! I think we've
finally gotten rid of them though... (Funny, but when I was cleaning
out the garage, I found a complete PARIS bundle 3, two 8-in cards and
an extra EDS that I forgot I had! All still in original boxes...)

My mom decided to move from Santa Barbara to Tucson, so she bought a
couple houses (!) here, one for her to move into and one for my
sister-in-law (brother's ex) and kids. I take all the kids to school,
so I get to see my brother's kids almost every day, but he only sees
them once or twice a year. Dang... Anyway, my mom dawdled and never
got around to selling the Santa Barbara house during the housing boom,
so now she can't sell it at all it seems. She's taken it off the
market and is renting rooms out. Mean time, I get to take care of all
three Tucson houses (mine, sister-in-law's, mom's including pool)
along with everything else. Geesh...

Work is hectic - I report directly to the president of our company
now. I'm pretty much personally responsible for computing for half of
our company! I've been scrambling to deploy CMS, WIKI, Forum, Blog
and IM software to hopefully improve communication and collaboration
along with taking care of the continuous stream of Linux upgrades, new
employee computer needs, and trying to learn our DSP framework...

On the music front, I blew off Different Skies this year, but enrolled
in EIS, and got back to work on a couple projects - the analog synth
is almost soldered up (40+ modules), the Chroma, T8, Fizmo and AN1x
are all fixed up and working, I finally repaired the KSP-8 and
finished the opamp upgrade in the big Roland mixer and I even finished
the design of the controller for the Looperlative. The hard disk in
my development Mac got corrupted beyond repair it seems, so I had to
completely reinstall - I ended up buying a new controller and putting
in a couple big hard drives. That was good, as I was finally able to
install the Quantum Leap Orchestra and Symphonic Choirs along with
several of the other sample libraries I had purchased but never
installed. (Ever checked out the Prominy LPC? Rawkin!) I recently
got a Macbook, so I've been playing with that, even using Parallels to
run Winders XP and RedHat Enterprise 4. It's fun to run Microsoft
development tools on a Mac...!

Oh, did I mention I gave up the DJ gig down at the radio station?
Five days a week at 5 AM on top of the regular job got to be a bit much...

Phew... How's that? ;-)

Doug (Wow, after proof-reading that, I think I must be insane!)

Heehee, I forgot about that! My martial arts instructor/family doctor
bought a bunch of land out in the Chiracahuas and has been building a
fortress...I mean house...for some time. He bought some big glass windows
from a bank (I think they're bullet-proof or something) and needed a couple
custom window frames made, so of course, since everyone knows Doug has a
woodshop, they just stacked a bunch of redwood outside the door and waited
for me to come home and take care of everything! And this was in the middle
of my packrat war too, so the shop floor was covered in turds. BTW, did I
mention the little rat bastards had filled my 4" dust collection system with
cholla buds and dried dog poo? Oh yeah, remind me to tell you the story of
how the packrats had been collecting the dog doo and putting it in a pile
just on the other side of my backyard wall. (And here I thought the kids
were being good...)

Anyway, the windows were the same height, but about an inch and a half
different in width. Since they were going to be put into two openings of
similar size, I made one of the frames with deeper slots for the longer
piece of glass. Well, they forgot to test fit everything, so they ended up
assembling the small glass into the big frame. Then, when they tried to put
the big glass into the small frame, they realized what they had done and had
to spend a couple hours prying everything back apart!!! Sheesh!!!

Never dull,
Doug

If Doug can't I can. My fur kids didn't even wait for me to finish it before
they moved in so I must've done something they liked.
