"Interface 2" with 2 EDS's - Paris won't initialize [message #66769]

Hi All,

Does anybody know if you have to have a 442 or a MEC to run multiple EDS
cards? I only have an "Interface 2" - 2 in's and 2 out's. With 2 EDSs Paris
gives the following error on launch - "No interface connected to master
card" - even though my interface is connected to the master card. All cables
are connected as per instructions.

Thanks,

Chris Griffiths.

P.S. Unfortunately I don't know anyone who still uses paris with a MEC
interface I can try (From Australia).

Hi Chris,

IF2s don't have sync capability, thus can't be used as the only interface
in a two card system. You will need 2 442s or 2mecs. 2 442s should be a
really cheap way to go.

Just to clarify, you would only "need" one 442 or MEC to get
a two card system operational... the second if you wanted to
be able to record to two subgroups at one time.

I'm in Australia and still use Paris. In Northcote, in Melbourne. What city
are you in?

Though the other guys are right. With two cards you'll need a 442 or an MEC.
442's come up pretty cheap on the for sale site.

And you'll still be able to plug the Interface 2 into the system. There's
a plug in the MEC so that you can piggy back it on to the MEC (I assume the
442 has that as well? Andyone?)

Cheers,
Kim.

THANKS GUYS! I also use Hammerfall/RME + Nuendo but prefer Paris for vocals. [message #66841 is a reply to message #66769]

Thanks Guys,

I guess I'll have to buy a 442.

Just to fill you in, I also use a Hammerfall card with 3 RMEs for 24 ins and
outs (used with Nuendo or SX). But I still use Paris all the time. Why? I
use Paris for Vocal recordings and individual instruments and have done so
for years - even after getting the Hammerfall/RME system. I just find it
sounds better (warmer? hard to explain). All I wanted to do was get another
EDS card before they're too hard to get, I'm sick of updating virtual tracks
all the time.

Interestingly, my angle with clients lately, is that I use Paris because
it's a warmer, earthier converter. They seem to agree, and really go for
Paris as an almost "Retro" alternative. Believe it or not, it seems to be
cool to use Paris (especially with young bands) because it's getting old and
it's a bit rare. I've also started using my ASR-10 again! Clients think it's
cool - go figure!

Chris.

Chris is in Sydney, a mate of mine, but I can't help as I no longer have
Paris.
BTW, you should here some of the work Chris has achieved with Paris and 1
EDS card and an IF2.

Absolutely amazing.
