How do you insert a compressor to a buss or Main? Also Didn't I read on the
forum that there is an issue about one of the compressors functions not being
what it says it is, but backwards or something?

Hey Steve

Benn a while. Hope you're doing well

I may be mistaken but there were some limits on NoLimit...in the look-ahead
I believe

As for the inserts are you talking hardware or plugs

Hey Don, Good to here from you again. At best case scenario, I was hoping
there was a way to do it like you do a channel. Just going to the top and
clicking on EDS insert and assining it to be a compressor.
I just went to the Buss/Master page and under settings hit "show inserts"
and they only pop up above the Global Master and not a Buss. I put all the
drums in buss 3 and was hoping to set a compressor on that buss only.

Not possible to do an insert across a submix buss. One of Paris's odd
(retarded) quirks. I think some guys have ways of doing this by using an
aux - although I haven't ever gotten a comfortable setup that way. Anyone
else want to elaborate?

If you're looking for a smash sound, push up the channel faders on that
submix, then back off the submix fader itself. Short of that there is no
sbumix FX insert which I agree to be pretty limiting (yes, ladies and
gentlemen, that is a pun).

No buss inserts. This is one of the reasons why I've thought of going
to dual Paris rigs. Take the stereo output of the submixes over to the
second machine (preferably via lightpipe), use a pair of channels in the
second machine's submix (or mixes if it's multicasrd), and use EDS and
native inserts as desired on each buss. Paris hardware is getting to a
price point where this is ecomomically feasible.

You could send the drums to an aux - assign a comp then via wires bring the
mono or stereo returns back down two channels in the same mixer....that way
you also have the advantage of EQ-ing the return

If you're doing this in real time, you won't be able to do it with native
plugins. They will only work if you print the tracks, and if you plan on
doing that, why would you use a second Paris rig? Only EDS plugins or
external hardware would work as I think you are describing. Still it's a
tempting idea. I've thought about it a bit myself. You could have 4 Paris
rigs summing into one as long as they were timeline synced via smpte.

;o)

Do natives only workon printed tracks, or will they work as they're
being recorded? The recorded tracks would really be throwaways as I was
really just looking at keeping a print of the Globals in this scenario.
Yiu'd have to sync them if there was any automation on the
"mastering" pc. But if the automation were on the originating pc and
levels were left alone on the master...

It's convoluted concept...sampleslide crazy probably...and right down
your alley DJ!

Yes, but of course, you need lots of Paris rigs if you're going to bus more
than one group and this would require at least the playback computers being
synced.

Believe me, I've thought long and hard about it. I've got the makings here
of such a setup (4 x computers and 4 x MECs). I could use three of the comps
as playback rigs and bus the submixes to the fourth one as the summing rig.
All I would need would be a smpte lockup on the three playback machines. The
really sick way to do this would be to use 8 synced playback rigs into one
summing rig. You could do this pretty elegantly with 8 EDS cards, 8 x MECs,
a JL cooper Datasync II receiving ADAT sync from an ADAt module on the
master playback computer outputting smpte to 7 x old Opcode Studio 64 XTC's
interfacing to the 7 slaved and daisy chained Paris computers. Of course,
you would also need 8 monitors and a helluva KVM as well as a way to sum the
outputs of 8 stereo spdif sources into two ADAT modules on the summing DAW,
or just do it via analog and strap a bunch of cool analog stereo comps
across the mix bus of each of the 8 x Paris rigs.

I must confess, even "I'm" not this crazy.......yet.

Oops.that would be 9 x of everythijng because I forgot about the EDS card,
MEC and monitor for the summing rig.

Actually I believe I did this in real time using Reaper without printing
tracks...at least I think I did. I was trying so many variations of things
at the time I was experimenting that I might be mistaken but the reason I
say I did is because Reaper had no "sync to" option, yet I still got all FX
inserts to work in real time

as always YMMV
