Hi guys...

I'm sure that many of you around here would not have ever seen a post from
me... truth is I have been a long time Paris user, but since upgrading our
studio a year ago I've kind of slipped out of "Paris land". I have spent
almost 10 years enjoying everything there was about Paris, and constantly
rebuilding machines and tweaking config files to get way more out of my system
that was probably even possible! I pretty much learned from scratch how
to be an engineer not only from the millions of hours i have spent locked
in my studio with Paris, but more importantly from so *many* great engineers
and fellow Paris users around here who were always too obliging in sharing
their tips and experience.

There are too many people to list (and most of them aren't around here anymore),
but guys like Brian T, DeeJ, Rick, derek, Matt, Sakis etc have all shared
stuff that was invaluable to my engineering... one trip from Australia to
Nashville i left some files unrendered on a drive at home, and Brian T was
only too happy to open his studio so i could re-bounce them which totally
saved my butt! Chuck, i know you're still around here from time to time...
thanks a million for allowing me to test plugins (for a short time at least!),
and for listening to me crap on about a million ideas every time i emailed.
Also... Matthew Craig is probably long gone, but that guy did some legendary
programming stuff too! Also... Edmund and SSC (RIP), thanks for having the
guts to dream up a system that was really so ahead of its time.

Thanks to all you guys who have in some way inputted in to my life... Never
let your technology get in the way of your creativity.

I've just posted some gear for sale on the FS newsgroup... I know at one
stage our system was one of the biggest around (and i think holds the Australian
record for biggest Paris rig ever!) 5 cards, 4 MEC's, 442, IF2's, stacks
of I/O's and 5x C16's... kicked any PT rig we knew of for a LONG time! If
you're interested in any of it, check out the post over there.

Thanks to all of you for many years of friendship, learning and a darn good
time!

Henry (manic)

Manic,

Good to hear from you. Hope you'll still pop by once in a while.

You're in Melbourne now aren't you? Drop me a line at my email if you feel
like catching up at any point.

If we don't cross paths again, all the best.

Cheers,
Kim.

Hi Henry,
Great to hear from you - I have fond memories
of getting your multiple MEC setup , up
and running :)

What system are you using presently ?

Hey Morgan!

Gee... i knew i shouldn't have started dropping names coz i knew i'd start
missing people like yourself! Ahhh.. the memories of word clocking and international
express shipping still give me shivers ;-)

We are actually running a PT HD3 rig, but our real joy is an SSL G console
that we picked up. PT is basically there as a tape machine and for editing,
but we do all our mixing now on the SSL (except for the occasional ruff demo)
and I'm loving it. It was funny how much of the automation in Paris actually
came from the "SSL way" of doing things which was kinda cool.

We are presently running a bunch of 192's, but i'd like eventually to get
some Apogees or something. Still, it sounds *way* better than PT did even
a few years ago, and i'm glad i had Paris for as long as i did. To be honest,
i actually though of using Paris in the same way, but the older OS and the
lack of editing features in paris compared to where PT has evolved was just
too much of a deal for me. That plus the fact that almost every other studio
we have anything to do with is running PT, so it just made sense.

Glad to see you're still around here helping folks out!

Henry
