Hello.
Could you help me ?
I just bought and downloaded latest ensoniq.ca drivers.
Installed version 2 + drivers and got
"Error in initializing paris engine. Error code 1/1"
The EDS card is "uknown multimedia device" in the device manager, is it how it should be ?
I tried to locate the drivers manually but with no success.
I thought that this new driver is simply a wizard and should install everything automatically, am I wrong ?
What can I do to solve this ?
Regards...

It's the middle of the night at Mike Audet's home, I'd guess he'll be along tomorrow AM. I have no experience with the installer yet myself.

Probably best to contact Mike directly to save time - please post your results here to help the next person along though!

PARIS is ancient. It will only import WAV files that 1) are 16 bit and 2) do NOT contain the modern .bwf file headers.
A PC app called stripwav used to be the community's app of choice to convert WAV files for PARIS use but the last I looked it hadn't had any updates in a decade that might justify continuing to recommend people keep paying for it; instead, I'd recommend you download Reaper and Xenakios' libsndfile wrapper extension to do the job and enjoy a thousand times more functionality while you try it free for 30 days.

The problem of importing files bothers me not so much actually.
Wavelab converts to SD2 very well and it has a batch converting utility where you can choose 1000 wavs or aifs and convert them all to SD2 by one mouse click.
Today I have tried the FX section. Very cool Tape Delay, sounds like Eventide H3000 multitap.
Choruses are very thick amd warm. I had DP4 in the past and always liked the modulation in it.
Plate reverb is also very interesting.
The most kick ass thing is what Paris stock converters are so so so beautifull for their todays funny price to get.
I had Protools Mix with 888 and 888/24 converters. So PT stock converters are pain for the ears actually. Very dirty highs, muddy lows and total unmusical sound. Ofcourse the problem was solved when used Apogees instead of 888, but they're cost the money $$$.
Also I have Merging Pyramix and used it with their own Merging DUA ADC/DAC and that was totally thin, dry sound. When hoocked up an Apogee AD-16 the situation went OK, but always something was totally missing in the sound. OK but .... can't say great.
But Paris converters are just the PRESENT.

Logic can transmit MTC to Paris Midi Output.
But Paris can't see this signal.
I have opened Midi Configuration tab in Paris
and assigned Paris Midi Input as MTC input.
But still no result. Maybe I forgot something or it is not even possible ???

Ted,
I'm also back with PARIS full time again after leaving for PT, Logic and others.
I only left because I was working in Atlanta full time and everybody uses PT, so I had to convert.
I had recorded and mixed many records over the years and I noticed that as my skills kept improving my all digital modern mixes didn't sound as good as my old PARIS mixes.
As I spent months slowly listening to 20 years worth of my own work I noticed a few things:
When mixing digitally:
1. My PARIS mixes always had more low end thickness, less harsh top end, better feel and depth with the ability to listen to them longer after they had been maximized! I also notice my newer digital mixes had a wider stereo field, tighter low end (but much hollower, without any real low end blending) and wore on me after maximizing.
My other digital mixes were with all the top DAW's with many different converters in many different studios, from the smaller to some of the best in the US. I had my work from major singles with major artists to unknown upstarts to listen through, but I kept a log of my thoughts on all of my work with no personal preference, just me listening for my own truth.
When mixing Analog:
PARIS to SSL 4000 or Neve 80 series makes me tear up as the the punch, depth and size I can get is inspiring.
Other digital DAW's to many different analog boards brought me great results also but always ran second to my PARIS analog mixes.
Now....
At that honest realization I pondered to myself what I was going to do.
I knew going back to analog was out for me, I also knew that a hybrid setup might work but I didn't want the overhead and cost.
That's when I got into Nebula..... WOW!
My mixing life changed and I now have my current method.
I now Mix in Reaper with Nebula (Nebula allows me to negate PARIS shortcomings) , then print my Nebula files and render the files into PARIS where I mix with a smile and then Master in Wavelab using Nebula again.
Took me a while, but it's sonic heaven without the cost for me.
