If you are this will potentially help your paris experience.
Use this Macro and enjoy.

It will work with any CPU. I labeled it quad core so I
know what computer it was designed for.

Here is some info if it helps anyone:

This is the Macro that works. Save from this
email attachment to a CDR or USB stick and dump
into your Paris computer. It can reside anywhere.
I like to put it in Programs/MacroExpress/Macros.
You may have to make the folder Macros.

Once it's in there just go to Macro Express. It should
be running at startup. Go to File then Open Macro File.
I want you to direct it to Programs/MacroExpress/Macros/
12_16_08 Paris Quad Core.mex .

This should make it work perfectly except for a few gotchyas.

1) Make sure your Paris Project folder is in the uppermost
left hand corner. It may need to move the smallest amount
for all F keys to do their job. Once it's in the correct
location this is what the keys will do:

F1 Submix 1 Editor Mixer
F2 Submix 2 Editor Mixer
F3 Submix 3 Editor Mixer
F4 Submix 4 Editor Mixer
F5 Submix 1 Automation Mixer
F6 Submix 2 Automation Mixer
F7 Submix 3 Automation Mixer
F8 Submix 4 Automation Mixer
F9 Submix 5 Editor Mixer
F10 Submix 5 Automation Mixer
F11 All Utility Windows Open
F12 All Utility Windows Close
Shift/F12 All Channel Inserts Bypass or Engage

Your mixers, automation mixers and editors can be
wherever you want. That will only matter when
dealing with this:

2) Holding Shift while clicking F12 is tricky.
It depends on your mixers inserts to be at the
top of the far right screen. For me it's monitor
#2. For you it may be different. You must have all
16 channels showing (turn off Show Master in Mixer,
hide all your aux busses by dragging right vertical line between
channels and auxes to cover auxes and pull left most vertical
line left to open up all 16 channels so only channel strips show
and fill your far right monitor left to right. This is
a standard setting for some and can be accomplished (memorized)
using Paris Views if not by hand.

If this is done correctly all channels will be bypassed/engaged within
a couple of seconds. It will only be important to you if you are using
Faderworks and you want to continue laying overdubs without latency.
All effects with substantial latency will make recording overdubs
difficult.
A quick Shift/F12 will make it work in 2 seconds. Once the track is
recorded
another Shift/F12 will make you mix sound like it did before with all
effects engaged again. Slick.

3) I'm confident (like that?) your Utilities will also be difficult if not
impossible
to use. They may open with F11 but will never close with F12. This is
a macro
that depends on the exact location of the Patchbay (full size filling
left most monitor)
Big Transport, Audio and Markers windows on the far right monitor for
the mouse to know
where to go to close them. I'd suggest just continue using key commands
as you do now.
That's what I do too more often than not.

Tom
