So, Hi! Jeez... it's just been too damned long since I've posted here. I've been over on the
Ampex Mailing List. Most of my projects have been analog for the past year or so; around here
(Nashville) there's still quite a market for that, apparently. PARIS still saves my bacon sometimes
though, especially considering I'm running 2" 16-track most of the time. Sometimes, a little SMPTE
and a few PARIS tracks can really get you out of a jam.
So the other week I did my first all-digital project in several months (a mixdown).
Unfortunately I had my OSX/ OS 9 hard drive crash on me, killing my PACE install, and had to go to
ID for a re-authorization. I was back up and running in a few days. (I have a separate hard drive
with OS 9 only on it, and PARIS was running from that in demo mode.)
Anyway, this brought back a few memories, so I thought I'd drop in. Glad to see Chuck, DJ,
and many others still here hanging around. I'm still here, and I'm still using PARIS. I'll try to
check in more often....
bc
PS: Interesting project you've got going there with the VST app rewire-type thing, Chuck!

Yeah... I think the bitmap files are the graphics files PARIS needs to load. It might be that
they're corrupted, but it also might be the memory you've allotted to PARIS . First try allocating
more memory to PARIS (you probably know the routine: highlight the app's icon, File -> get info ->
memory -> then type in a much more generous preferred and maximum memory size).
I would sort of think that you've tried that already, so if that doesn't work, you might want
to try a reinstallation. You won't have to worry about PACE reauthorization if you reinstall; just
make sure you've backed up your important settings, and if you have any Skunkworks plugs make sure
you back up your Plugins folder within the Ensoniq folder (which in turn is in your Mac's System
folder). I can't think of anything else right now, but it seems that I've seen this occasionally,
and I'm trying to remember what caused, or seemed to cause, it. I'm working on it though...
~{8^>)
OK I think I've got it:
Maybe the problem was having more than one copy of the PARIS application. I think when this
occurs sometimes a project will associate itself with the "wrong" copy of PARIS, and the other copy
of PARIS will look for the bitmap files where it thinks they should be.
This happened to me when I backed up a hard drive that had PARIS installed on it. When I
created a new project-- **even if I had created the project when running PARIS from the original
hard drive**-- the project, when clicked later on, would cause the **new** copy (that is, the
back-up copy) of the PARIS application to open, rather than the original copy of PARIS.
The solution may be to do the following:
1. Make two backups (two, just to be sure) of your Default Project and name them
Defaultppj.bak1 and Defaultppj.bak2, or something like that. Leave them in the PARIS folder along
with the PARIS app so you don't lose them.
2. Double-click your *original* copy of PARIS. Even if you haven't backed it up, might as
well try. Let PARIS open without having double-clicked any projects. It should create a new Default
Project.
If PARIS opens now, close PARIS and trash your *new* Default Project. Now rename one of your
backed-up Default Projects to "Default Project". Double-click on PARIS, and it should open up and
show your Default Project, the way you used to see things when PARIS opened.
OK, now close that project *without* closing PARIS (shift-apple-W). Now open the project you
wanted to open in the first place, from within PARIS (do this by hitting apple-O and, in the dialog
box, navigating to the project you want to open-- don't double-click the project's icon in the
Finder).
If none of that works (if PARIS won't open under any of those circumstances, including
allocating more memory to PARIS) I'd go for a reinstall.
Anyone else have any suggestions? I'm not sure this will help but it's what comes to mind. I
hope it helps at least a bit. Let me know how things turn out!
