| Drumagog and Mac OS 9? [message #74286] |

I just began using Drumagog w/ Paris on a dual 1.25 gHz G4 (running OS 9,
of course). I'm having some Drumagog problems. I could swear that when
I first installed it I had access to all the free download 'gog' samples,
but now I get a message saying 'Not a proper gog header' when I try to select
some of the folders. It's not consistant either. for example I can open
the 'Rock Bass drum' folder, but not the 'Rock Snare" folder. On their website
I read that you need at least v.4.05 to access the free stuff and w/ OS 9
I'm stuck in v.4.02, but why would some folders work and others not?
I've called and left a message for the Drumagog dude, who seems very cool,
but I was just wondering if any Mac people are using Drumagog and may have
some experience, strength and hope to share!
Thanks,

I used to use Drumagog in PARIS on my G4 a couple years ago, but now I do
all that on my DP/G5 rig and fly everything over. Sorry. :>(

I started using DP about a year ago, and so far here's what I've been doing.
Tracking in DP taking advantage of VSTi's, the UAD-1, and the various other
things that PARIS can't do. I freeze the tracks in DP. Then I copy the 24
bit SDII files to my PARIS drive and convert to 24 bit paf's using Soundapp
under OS9.2. Fly the tracks into PARIS and mix there. The downside is if I
want to use the UAD-1 comps, EQ's, etc. in DP I have to make those decisions
before actually "mixing" in PARIS. It's really not any different than
applying EQ or Compression during tracking with hardware though. I mean
you'd have to make those decisions before mixing in that scenario also.
Anyway, so far I've been satisfied with that workflow. I am going to try to
do some tracking in PARIS, fly those tracks to DP, add VSTi's, plugins,
etc., and fly those tracks back over to PARIS for mixing. Several people
here think that some of PARIS's magic also happens on the way in, and I'd
like to test that out. On occasion, I've done everything in DP, but I've
never been as happy with my all native mixes. I also really miss the PARIS
EQ, nolimit, and other various things that aren't available in DP. I'm kind
of old school with mixing in that I don't really have a need for elaborate
automation, etc. The fader automation in PARIS is all I use 99% of the time.
The only real complaints I have about PARIS are the lack of automatic plugin
compensation and not being able to use VSTi's. Anyway, I know it's a little
more time, but I'm a solo "artist" and don't really do much recording for
"clients", so I've got the extra time to make it work.
