Hey everyone,
Chris Ludwig talked me out of it.
Not good for music.
Good to know.
Cheers,

As Pete thankfully mentioned in an earlier thread,
Comp USA is running a sale tomorrow on this computer.
$200 seems pretty cheap if it'll do the job.
I'd want to up the ram, add a drive, disable/
delete crazy amounts of trial software.
The onboard graphics chip may be a limiting
factor but for one monitor it seems like it'll do.
After reading the specs tell me if you think it's worth it.
Here's the specs:
Compaq Presario - SR 1520 NX
AMD Sempron 3100+, 256kb L2 cache (Eeeeew),
512 Meg RAM (ouch) upgradeable to 2 Gig, 160 GB 7200rpm HD,=20
16x DVD +RW drive.
Modifications I expect:
I'm thinking the C drive may need a new install of OS to clean it up.
Isn't that next to impossible with a proprietary Compaq?=20
A second Softsynth drive ($20.00 for a 80GIG WD 8 meg cache!)
An RME type audio card or some other way to send the synths
to PARIS. Size of chassis may prohibit some cards.
An outboard Midi card.
My application is to use it as an outboard softsynth box. Now I use =
a stand=20
alone Paris rig (3.0 P4) and a stand alone Cubase rig (AMD 1.4mgz). =
My budget=20
is so low that I really can't afford even the $200 BUT I will if it's =
going to suffice=20
and be better than waiting 4 years for a used/obsolete comp then =
maybe.
My main concern is Compaq's proprietary setup. Can I, will I need to =
reinstall
Windows on the C drive? After reading specs, these things worry me:
3 PCI slots
Onboard graphics chip - No AGP slot!!!
Enough onboard 60 day trial software to make it stop and die.
16.54" Depth Room for an RME or equivalent sound card?
15.35" Height " " " " "
7.17" Width " " " " "
Is this whole thing stupid to consider? Sale is tomorrow but
I don't want something that's going to be a big problem. =20
All opinions welcome!

Thanks for posting.I was wondering if this could be used for
music too.I was thinking probably not,but damn that $200 makes
you think what if, doesn't it.
So what did Chris say as far as it not being a good idea?

Pete,
Here's Chris' response.
Hi Tom,
If the on board video is shared then I don't think it would be worth=20
while for audio work. I would suck balls for gaming!
It should be fine for Internet though. It is probably a Via or SIS chip=20
set which can also be an issue. Also the power supply is at best 200=20
watts and probably not replaceable with a standard atx one.

------=_NextPart_000_0166_01C57DD4.4CB22810--I'm GMT +10 hours, so from what I can tell we're 9 hours ahead of you. Hence
a good time for you to call would probably be, say, in the morning your time.
Obviously it wont be a problem if you call me too early in the day your time.
Before 1 or 2pm would be good, but on weekends it could be later. 3pm your
time weekends would be fine I'd say.
The hard part will be that I'm often not home, and I imagine you don't get
super cheap rates to mobiles. I'll shoot you an email with my number and
some details.
Cheers,

Anybody got a good alternative. I'm thinking AMD64 with SATA, but that may
be hard given the PCI issue. Anybody got a good option?

You need to be happy in your life-everybodies life has different circumstances-The
level of concentration and what I go through to make my projects happen would
make you think twice.I get up and don't work on music till about 5 Pm as
I go through tons of business stuff eveyday that would definately sour many
people on
the music business. I have been doing this for 30 years now
and have seen the business go through major changes but
not as major as what's going on now.
I have been very blessed to work with some truly incredible artists and musicians.
I'm just saying that work with what you
have and make it the best you can. That will take you
to the next level.
The Guys from Spyro Gyra are really great guys
I've known Jay for many years and he's been a great supporter of my work.
Tom Schuman is one of the Baddest keyboard players
in the world and I've used him on a number of projects.
I still love using Paris
JM
>>
>Anybody know this for sure.
I'm guessing that PCI 2.2 is fine, but PCI 2.3 is not. PCI 2.2 was invented
December 1998, right when Paris was doing it's thing. PCI 2.3 is something
you see in the latest MBs from the last 6-12 months only, and claims to have
a little, but not a lot, of 5v compatibility, and I don't trust it to run
a Paris EDS card.
See:
http://www.pcisig.com/news_room/news/press_releases/2002_03_ 20/2002_03_20.pdf
or:
http://www.windowsitpro.com/Windows/Article/ArticleID/9064/9 064.html
....which says:
"PCI cards and slots are keyed by voltage (i.e., 5 volts or 3.3 volts). Although
universal PCI cards are notched for both 5 volts and 3.3 volts, PCI slot
connectors can be keyed for only one voltage. PCI 2.1 and 2.0 specifications
permitted both 5-volt and 3.3-volt signaling; PCI 2.2 favored 3.3-volt signaling
but also supported 5-volt signaling. (PCI 2.2 cards can be 5 volt, 3.3 volt,
or universal; vendors have designed most PCI 2.2 cards as universal cards.)
When PCI cards and slots use 5-volt signaling, they operate at a maximum
speed of 33MHz; only 3.3-volt PCI slots can support higher bandwidths. Therefore,
all PCI-X slots are 3.3-volt slots. PCI-X slots work with universal PCI cards
and 3.3-volt cards but don't work with 5-volt-only cards. Universal PCI-X
cards operate at 33MHz in a 5-volt slot, at speeds as fast as 66MHz in a
3.3-volt PCI 2.2 slot, and at speeds as fast as 133MHz in a 3.3-volt PCI-X
slot. As when you mix SCSI devices of different speeds, mixing PCI and PCI-X
cards on the same bus causes the speed of the PCI-X bus and all other cards
on the bus to operate at the slowest card's speed."
I'm thinking I need 2.2...? Anyone?
Cheers,
Kim.

That is a very funny post if you're reffering to myself-I am not rich nor
even close to it. I live in a very modests house and don't drive a really
fancy car. I have given my life to music
and my projects don't bring me big advances or royalties-I keep the quality
high in a world where most labels and artists
just care about how commercial the music is. My wife and I run
our business and sacrifice alot to make sure that we do the
highest quality music happen.
I know lots of scumbags and greedy people that have taken everything out
they could from the music business. Look at
The Warner music group and what they've turned a once proud label into-so
if your post was meant to insult me or make me into something I'm not you
should get to know the person before
you make generalizations about one's life
JMHardy, har, har Deej. I found a picture of you too!
Happy Birthday for real Martin.

How do you record and playback MIDI info in Paris 3.0?
Say you want to sync a Synth box to paris using MIDI clock.
Can this be done? There doesn't appear to be any way to get MIDI signal
in and out of PARIS.
TIA

P.S-that was some nasty shit Mr.nappy said to me-I won't even retort that
as believe it or not that shit hurtsI've been running Paris on 98SE with very few problems. I'd like to

(859) 635-5762Thanks. I saw all the stuff on that when I looked through the
various sites on Paris. The trouble is, I can't get MIDI out of the
MEC to clock anything else with.
I wonder if there is a MIDI - Sp/dif convertor somewhere so I could
record MIDI as an audio track.

suggestion, based on a post by one of our own who had midi sync working
flawlessly between Paris and Nuendo on a second computer, would be to
purchase a Steinberg Midex unit. Once the hardware is installed, the driver
will show in the midi devices menu of the Paris application. Choose the
Mides midi out as the master and attach a midi cable to the midi in of your
slave device and set the software application to slave to incoming midi
timecode and choose the midi input that is connected to the Midex midi out
to be the receiving port.
You can also achieve sample accurate sync by slaving a third party device
that has a 9 pin ADAT sync input port to ADAT timecode being broadcast from
a Paris ADAT module.........if you can find one.

>Hi Panic,
It doesn't sound to me like you have a complete undestanding of how to synch
2 devices via MIDI.
You mentioned MIDI clocks, which was a cheap way to synch two devices for
people who could not afford smpte when MIDI programs had to be synced to
tape decks. PARIS doesn't support this.
PARIS can output SMPTE via MIDI time code. Check the manual for deatils
on how to do this. I'm not at my PARIS PC, and I'm afraid that I'll give
you inacurate directions if I try to.
MIDI Time code is SMTE sent via MIDI commands. It's not sample accurate,
and I find that it drifts if PARIS gets overloaded with lots of DX plugins.
What I do, is record a SMPTE stripe on a track in PARIS and play that back
through an old MIDIMAN Smart Sync which converts the track to MTC. I then

feed the MTC into a seperate PC running Windows 98 and Cakewalk Pro 9. I
believe that the Smartsync can be set to output MIDI clocks instead of MTC,
so that might be an option for you.
Good luck!

There are other commands that they will obey also, but these are the best
ones when you really need instant obedience.
;o)Cool. I think that may work.
Here's exactly what I want to do:
Use one of these:
http://www.rogerlinndesign.com/products/adrenalinn2.shtml
with PARIS.
It has only 2 outputs, so you either actually use the drums mixed
with the effected guitar for the final track (ouch!) or you track the
drums first, then the effected guitar (using their very cool beat-
synched fx) seperately with MIDI clocking the AdrenaLinn from
Paris, then replace the drum track with an actual human.
So, I need to record MIDI at the same time as the drum track.
Do you think the Midex will let me do this in Paris and then play it
back to control the AdrenaLinn while tracking guitar?
I wouldn't go through all this if the AdrenaLinn wasn't so darn cool.
thanks

What do you think of the scenario I described to Mr. Simplicity?
Would it work?

I presume XP - although now do-able - is not as safe as either of the above.

>(859) 635-5762Ok, I've got an Asus A7V8X and an Asus A7V-600X. Presumably this has the PCI
sharing issue Mr S describes below. I'm running a dual head G450 AGP, a PCI
graphics card, 1 x EDS, 1 x Korg Oasys. I may also run another EDS, a UAD
(or similar) and/or a PCI controller card or Firewire card. (I also have
IDE and SATA hard drives, and occasionally use USB hard-drives / CD-RWs).
If I've got this right, I should run the audio cards in 3, 4, 5 (though I'm
a little confued as to why, and what about sharing on PCI 3 and 5 with SATA,
Usb, and IDE...? What's wrong with PCI 2...?). This would require putting
the graphics cards and any other cards on PCI 1 and 2, but wasn't it recommended
to put the first EDS card in the first free PCI slot? What would the consequence
be of running a fourth audio card in an Asus mobo...?
Confused!
