Hey all -
I'm testing "user file upload/download" functionality on the PARISWiki. This
is so if you come up with a cool preset you'd like to share, you can easily
upload a.ppj containing it directly to the server, where it will then
immediately become visible/available to the community as a download.
The "help needed" here is this: I need to get a handle on how this works for
people outside my own IP/cookies. I know it works for me, I need to verify
that I have the proper permissions set so it also works for others.
So what would be great is if some folks can try uploading a test file
(perfect choice would be to open any text editor, create a blank document
and save it as TEST.txt) - then try downloading it.
Ideal would be to test it under the following four conditions:
1) Not logged into the Wiki - uploading
2) Not logged in to the Wiki - downloading
3) Logged in to the Wiki - uploading
4) Logged in to the Wiki - downloading
If you try this out, let me know in this thread what your success/failure
was like in each condition, and once I have enough info I'll go ahead and
create something similar for each plugin.
Thanks in advance!
- Kerry
PS: no need to upload FX presets quite yet, I want to sort the best format
options out first so all users regardless of OS or PARIS version can make
immediate use of the presets.
PPS: If you think of other types of PARIS-related files it might be handy to
create upload/download functionality for on the Wiki - PARIS wallpaper,
skins, track sheets, tables, cheatsheets - I'm happy to entertain
suggestions.

Definitely... a question I used to get a lot is "what is your system and
what are your system settings?"
If you can set up a repository for say, Athlon/Intel /by speed /CPU core
type/RAM amount/OS type, etc as a searchable database, this might bail
someone outta hot water if they can DL a known good config file for a
simliar system. Since it's txt, it should take next to no room on your
server, and it would be a great resource for checking syntax (stuff like
MidiPlay=Disable) in the config file when troubleshooting gets frustrating.
Also, check your email inbox, got something in there for ya.

Now *that* is certainly a great idea. A PARIS hardware database would be
insanely cool, and is much needed. I recently tried to search through the
newsgroup for mobo information and it's pretty daunting to pull data out;
newsgroups aren't ideal formats for data storage/retrieval.
Problem for me is - I'm not a PC guy. I haven't followed the debate on
mobos/drivers/BIOS/video card - I don't even know what the relevant pieces
of info are, what kind of data fields we want... This is all stuff I'd be
asking here in a month's time myself. So I'd have to rely on someone else to
create an Excel database - to figure out what it needs to look like - and to
start collecting that info up into one spreadsheet.
But someone more knowledgeable than I wants to create it as a spreadsheet,
and if we get a few machines in the database to start with, I could serve it
here, and I've already started researching what kind of graphic front-end I
might be able to build for it.
Maybe we should give this idea its own thread, see if other PC gurus might
want to get on board?

Motherboard, chipset, video card chip, memory/brand&amount, CPU
socket/speed/model, PCI cards in use. motherboard onboard devices. Network.
Firewire. USB. All use IRQ's, play a role. Firewire port shouldn't have
networking enabled, it polls. The amount of EDS cards is directly involved
in how you want to set your configs.
Hard drives (SCSI, IDE, SATA, rotation speed/cache/size/brand) all play a
role.
Magma/SBS expansion likely plays a role.
What kinds of applications (MS Office for example, big no no IMO on a DAW)
plays a part.
Start up group. DX and VST plugs. Automatic updates. Remote
desktop/invitations. Native or 3rd party drivers ( for instance a native
windows video driver or the 'fancy' one from the video card company with all
the bells 'n' whistles.. that's overhead) for hardware devices.
I'm sure there's more but I better hit it to get my usual 4 hours sleep :P

Oh, you know it. Next month or two I'm inheriting a 2-card one-MEC rig from
Rueben at Lucky Dog Studios with a few I/o cards.
I hope it's not controversial to say this, but - I mean, I love Macs and
I've been a big advocate all my life - but I see the writing on the wall and
I've completely abandoned the thought of going back to running it on a Mac
myself.
If I shop smart, I have no doubt that few-years-old-but-known-PARIS-friendly
PC can be found that would run rings around my old beige G3 setup - for not
much more than "free if you take it away" prices - and allow me the greater
flexibility of a far more modern OS with software and plugins still in
development.
It will of course mean leaving the Mac for running PARIS (I'd still run
Logic 8 on my dual G5 for virtual instrument production and everything else,
make the PARIS rig a fairly stripped-down dedicated DAW and use a dual KVM
switcher to toggle between them) - but all things considered I'd vastly
prefer jumping to XP on a four-year-old computer that still has some upgrade
potential to jumping back to OS9 on a nine-year old one that has virtually
none.
And as nobody has been writing new software for Mac OS9.x for years, all of
the greatest potentialities that might open up for PARIS in the future,
enabling currently-unseen workarounds and functionality (Wormhole,
FaderWorks, VFX-4), will be locked to PCs.
Although my own situation is simply that - my own situation - it also seems
a good idea to me right now for me to help encourage our small pool of
developers to focus their limited time and resources on one platform.
So there it is; one guy's opinion :D

I've thought long and hard about whether or not to switch my Paris activities
to PC. I suspect I'd bet a lot more horsepower and, maybe, more stability.
I've all but stopped using my UAD-1 cards because they began making so many
strange noises running on my Mac. I'd love to be able to use the new Powered
plugins and the newer Waves stuff that I already own in Paris! I've done
some asking around about what would be involved with putting together a Paris
PC but I didn't get very serious about it. I wonder what it would cost...

If you were content to take just a modest speedbump up, just to get in the
game - I bet you could do worse than buying a used, known-PARIS-friendly PC
for peanuts off a PARIS user that had upgraded - that's what I thought of
doing. After all - PARIS worked on Pentium 166s; some six-year-old
cinderblock running a lean, stripped-out XP is probably going to seem like
the Millennium Falcon to it, and be noticeably faster than an older Mac.
That'd get you into the XP game dirt cheap, with at least the same level of
functionality you have today and probably more, and with a minimum of
disruption. Wonder if anyone's sitting on a solid old PARIS PC that's been
gathering dust because it's a sub-$200 unit that's "not worth the effort of
selling"? I was considering asking that very same thing on the "for sale"
group.
I don't know about strange noises - but one thing that I found was
impossible to do on a Mac that I badly desired to was "upgrade the power
supply". After all that painful experience taught the PARIS community about
PARIS' absolute need for robust power supplies and cool running
temperatures, a lot of crashes I used to have in my attic studio snapped
into focus - but no dice. So given PARIS' historical finicky nature with
too-small power supplies, that was one of the first things I wanted to make
certain was solid as a rock on a PC.
