Samplitube plugin for Paris? tell me more Jamey Tiffee. I have IKs Amplitube

Found it!

Samplitude is a DAW that started as a pure mastering solution and
evolved into a full blown DAW for audio no midi to speak of. It is the
most transparent DAW I have heard (Nuendo, Sonar, PARIS, Cubase, Pro
Tools) which means I really don't like to mix in it because I don't have
the best front end equipment so I need something to pretty things up a
bit, I tested them all on the same speakers and found Samplitude to be
the cleanest it just doesn't color the tones or at least in a way that I
disapproved of anyway like the others.

What I like the most is I can brighten my PARIS mixes up just enough to
make them stand up and out. PARIS is a true analog sounding DAW IMO in
that it smears things like analog tape and with mixes being done mostly
in digital realm these days that makes it sound like it has a blanket
over it to the average joe. (That analogy comes from people that hear
my first CD that was mixed and mastered in PARIS great sounding stuff
they say it just sounds kind of muffled, it left it sounding too analog
compared to what is out there and even I have acclimated to the point
that I agree.)So I looked or listened for a way to master and give me
some control over that. Because no matter how much I tweaked PARIS
during mastering I couldn't get it to stop smearing things, which is not
bad to some degree and is what I want PARIS to do when I'm mixing.

So I demoed all of the for mentioned DAWS doing a remaster of one song
from the first CD to see which would do what I wanted and still leave
most of the PARIS magic and settled on Samplitude because "it just
sounds better" ;). It gave me the results I was looking for from the
song. I posted the remix to some folk that pointed it out before and
they all agreed that what I did "fixed" it.

Samplitude is made by Magix and here it is

You will want to not use the MEC to monitor just get an M-Audio or
Creative card or something to monitor Samplitude for mastering. To me
this makes the most sense anyway because most the people hearing your
music will listen on this type of converter anyhow and not PARIS.

Jamey,

Using a house clock can clean up this smearing quite a bit. I clock from
Mytek and I have noticed a marked improvement in this situatiion. If the
project isn't mixed *hot* (ie channel and submix faders not redlining) the
mix comes out sounding much more like the contemporary DAWs, and then you
can just strap NoLimit across the mix bus and crank it to create whatever
amount of *hugeness* you desire.

Cheers,

Deej
