I caught the UV/VU thing too. Now instead of a farmer's tan, you can have a
mixer's tan! ;>)

UV meters are something new. Might keep the

In my last post it should have read 56 input x8x2.
Although it is speculation on my part, I'm betting the toft mic pres are
going to be much better than the Oram mic pres on their version of the
mixer.
Read the thread on gearsluts.com Allen Hyett tells what components they
are going to use in the Toft mixer. They also made customer changes on
the
mixer design since the thread started. They added a mono switch, UV
meters
and other things. It's amazing that a company would listen to customer
requests
and make immediate changes to the design! Check it out.

Hey, that's crazy. It says it works over airport.. anyone tried that?
Cheers,
TCDear Rick,
I am really dissapointed in your post.
If you don't care buying thats ok but saying that it is slavery to buy something
that is so innovative for Paris and not only and considering the som many
hours spent to make things smooth for Paris and wormhole as much as possible
without me being involved at all in the sales of this plugin that really
makes me feel sad.
I was hoping that you at least would appreciatte all the efoorts here and
that wouild be supporting those nice and cheap plugins that help Paris .
I see people here payinmg 250 $ for a single adat card so for 3 adat cards
750 $.
plus a Mec 150$ almost a 1000 $ to just have 24 adat 20 bit tracks from one
PC to another.
Now a simple plugin lets you have 24 bit (or 32bit floating until you use
Paris dsp ) of 24 audio tracks for a normal 2600 Ghz cpu.
So if you think that I am giving you guys a hard time then sorry I will stop
what I am doing these last months.
thanks to all of you anyway.
Regards,
Dimitrios

I think he was joking, it was a pun at Brandon's wording of "I will buy Dimitrios"
Meaning he will purchase you, Dimitrios, with cash money, not anything to do with wormhole..
