Hi Folks!
I wonder how You would compress a group, of say 12 drum tracks, in PARIS?
I would want the whole kit to go through a stereo compressor during mix
Please. say something clever! :)
All the best

There are 5 ways that I know of to do this.
1. Just send all of your tracks to a big analogue console and squash and mix
them there just like you would with a tape recorder.
2. Send the tracks out the Paris inserts to an analog mixer, compress them
there, then return the two track to a pair of Paris inputs.
3. Build a second single card Paris system and network the two systems.
Install a Steinberg Midex on the system that you want to be a slave.
Set the slave system with the Midex to slave to smpte and send a smpte audio
track from the master system to the Midex on the slave system.
Either send the drum tracks to the slave system or all of the other tracks
to the slave system and keep the drum tracks on the master system, then use
NoLimit or another stereo comp across the Global bus of whichever system
(master or slave) has the drum tracks and route the outputs of the system
running the drum tracks to a pair of inputs on the system playing back the
rest of the tracks..........basically you are timeline syncing two separate
Paris systems via smpte stripe and using the global bus of one of the
systems as a drum bus only, sending the compressed bus to the other Paris
DAW.
4. Is the way I do it and it involves routing Paris tracks through a digital
matrix, looping it through busses on a separate DAW to a 2 bus comp, then
returning the 2 bus to Paris and it is so much digital insanity and $$$ that
you may not want to go there, but it is very flexible and really works well
if you've got a very powerful native system.
5. The last one is to strap an analog comp across one of the paris aux
busses and crank the aux send to taste, blending the compressed signal in
with the uncompressed tracks........there's a 1.5ms latency doing this with
an analog comp, only 2 samples or so doing it digitally. I do this a lot and
it works very well.
I think our resident guru Dimitrios probably has other esoteric options for
this using a palette of chainers, FX and wrappers, but I'm not sure.

6. Bounce all the tracks down to a 2-channel submix and apply
the compression across that... that way you can blend
uncompressed & compressed signals to taste.
7.) Try inserting a compressor just on the overheads...
sometimes that's all it takes.

DJ,
THANKS for taking time typing all that!!
I'll most likely find the solotion in Your little novel ;)
Sending the tracks out to a separate console seems to be a pretty smooth
way to me.
Thanks

now Neil.........you and I both know that this is wayyyyy too simple and
doesn't require nearly enough money.

Quite true... I never seem to remember that obviously most-
critical aspect.

Yeah man.. You gotta at LEAST by a coupla 8 ins and 8 outs and a dangerous 2
bus with a few blackface LA2a's to strap across. Maybe a Distressor or two
and for good measure some SPL transient shapers.
Sheesh.. amateur spender.

Dear Paris user...
The following is the easiest and CHEAPEST WAY TO DO THIS WITH COMPLETE time
allignment.
First you buy Chainer VST wrapper... and thats the only expense you make.
Then you put chainer on every drumtrack, kick snare, OH's, Tom1,Tom2,Tom3
whatever...
Now on each Chainer you put on its first slot the input module, then on slot2
you put a vst compressor, many free out there, most of them are 0 latent
!
I have posted some names before.
There you squash the hell out of your compressor which means you have a 100%
wet compressed and heavily squashed drumtrack.
Now chainer has also dry control !, meaning you can add "uncompressed" sound
too...
You do exactly the same for all your drumtracks.
On you stereo drumtracks like OH's you put a stereo instance of chainer doing
the same things...
Chainer can take this thing steps further...
It has 10 pages so you can add EQ another compressor, whatever all time alligned
, I also have posted about that.
Dead simple cheap enouph and extremely effective.
No nudging, no latency compensation.
Beware, wavesren has 64 samples latency, T-racks has also 64 samples latency,
Waves C1 though has 0 latency.
MOST OTHER COMPRESSORS INCLUDING COMMERCIAL ONES ARE ) LATEnt ...
Hope this helps

Dimitrios

Too bad that the Paris designers didn't allow the user to strap an EDS
effect across the Master Mixer of each individual card. If so you would be
able to move all the tracks to a free EDS card, dedicating that card to the
drum mix and using one effect on that card only. As you said, DJ, the only
way to do this is to build a second system and slave the two together. A
little bit of extra work to say the least.

Dear Rich,
I don't see the point why not use aux to send to a compressor stereo setting
at pre and nulling the faders, then you can send all you drumtracks into
the same compressor or Nolimit and either use the return trimmer or use in/out
wires to send the aux back to a Paris audio track and then use this with
fader (automation etc) and eq for your drumtracks compression.
If you use compressor with 0 lookahead you will have only 2-4 samples latency
on all your drumtracks.
Rgards,

You can do this. Use an aux instead. If you have an unused EDS card, copy
and paste your mixer settings, copy drag your drum tracks to there, select
prefade on aux 1 for each track, mute each track, select NOLIMIT or the eds
compressor. All you will be hearing is the compressed sound on that submix.
Note: you will have to compensate for latency between submixes, and for the
eds effect. You would have to do this, even if there was a way to strap an
effect across a submix.
Submix latency varies from system to system but is "about" 12 to 14 samples
from card A to card B and 2 samples per card after that. Latency for the
eds comp with no lookahead is 2 samples, No Limit is the same. On no Limit
you will want to use lookahead of about 25, which means nudge back 1 ms and
apply 53 samples of sampleslide.

Why not blow a ton of bucks and send all 8 channels on on 8 auxes into 8
different speaker cabinets usings some Mark Levinson amps and re-mic em
all with a variet of neumans going through some nice presonus preamps.

sure. first you get all the neighbors pets and put them on a leash.
then you walk them over to your house and put them in a big room. in
this room there is another door that opens to a smaller room with no
windows and an even smaller door. now all the pets can't get out at
once so you reduce the amount of food they eat (this will take some
time so reset your clock when you're done). after sufficient time has
passed the group can now fit through the smaller door and be returned
to their rightful place in the neighborhood.

This usually takes a bit longer because some of the smaller dogs disappear
and due to this, some of the bigger dogs take longer to lose the weight..
