Don't get me wrong. I love Paris. I'm just getting tired of some of the
quirks. And my UAD-1 FX (that is, the ones that I can use in Paris running
on MAc OS 9 - which means no NEVE EQ) are not behaving at all. I get clicks
and ticks and hooting foghorns. Stopping and starting usually makes the
noises stop, but they're always lurknig around the corner, waiting to scare
hell out of me and my clients. I tired to go back to V.3.8 and V.3.7, but
I lost authorizations on most of the good FX. So I'm running V.3.9, futzing
around w/ edit screens that don't correspond to what's actually playing due
to latency and praying that I can get thru 10 minutes with no strange noises.


Today is one of those days that, if I had 20 or 30 grand to piss away, I
mighta ordered me a PT HD rig. Just to have some factory support.

Sorry. I just had to rant a little. In another 30 minutes I'll be back
in Paris, mixing.

Since I can't go back to edit my spelling I figure I'll just post a disclaimer:


This is what happens to people who try to live on 5 hours of sleep per night!

Gantt-Man... that all sucks verily. Start thinking about
incorporating Cubase.. either for tracking & mixing, then
summing into Paris; or track basics into Paris if you like to
smack those convertors & get a couple ethernet cards to make
file Xfers easy from one PC to another & do all your overdubs &
mixing in Cubase... either way you'll have a reasonable-
additional-cost solution - or yeah, pony up & get HD
if you think there's enough biz in your market to support that
investment.

I'm seriously considering doing the track-basics-in-Paris & do
all the rest in SX for any full-band stuff that I do, now that
I have a Paris rig again. Maybe upconvert the basics to my
favored 88.2k samplerate before I import into SX - that way
I'll have at least all the key overdubs done "pure" at that
samplerate.

Hi Gantt,

It's those scenarios that I track and edit in Nuendo, then mix in Paris.

Cubase & Neundo tracks, edit like nobobys business :) With delay compensation
for your UADs..

Do yourself a favor and go and get Cubase 4..It will put a smile on your
face when your tracking and editing and even mixing.. But, that's where you
want Paris..Import those files (OMF) and Mix in Paris..No editing.. Mix..

If Paris had the Cubase editor and delay compensation it would do just about
everything for me. That editor in Cubase is impossible o live without once
you've gone there.

Is the Nuendo editor the same as Cubase?

What is your method(s) for moving tracks from SX (I have vers 3) to/from
Paris for mixing and editing?? You track in SX and mix in Paris right?

Well, I haven't done this YET, but I have LAN cards on both PC's
so I would just dump the files into a shared folder & grab 'em
from there with the other PC.
