Macle,

I've been using Digital Performer together with PARIS. I went with an
additional program for the features, definitely not for the sound. Lately,
I've been tracking in DP with the advantages of having midi, virtual
instruments, advanced editing features, etc.. I will then do a rough mix in
DP applying UAD-1, AU, etc. plugins with full ADC and then "freeze" the
tracks in DP (basically equals rendering with effects in PARIS). Then I
batch convert the 24bit DP sdII files over to 24bit .paf files and bring
into PARIS for final EQ and mixing. I still like the PARIS EQ better than
most plugins. I do try to mix in DP from time to time, but I just can't get
things to sound as good as mixing in PARIS. This is probably my lack of
skill, but I really do find my mixes in DP sound "cramped" and
"one-dimensional" especially with a high track count. I'm sure people can
get great mixes with any decent software though. It comes down to skill I
think. PARIS just seems to be very forgiving to my level of mixing
sucktitude. My two cents.
