Apple comes with a one year warranty, and 90 days phone in tech support. However, you can set up an appointment and walk in to any Apple store for free tech support. Apple does have an extended 3 year warranty, and it is vary reasonable on the consumer models. I personally got great service on my extended warranties. They will replace anything that is defective in the time frame.

One of the many things that pissed me off so bad that I decided to bail was that I fired it up last sunday and I got the "no interface connected to master card message". I wiggled, jiggled, plugged and unplugged and finally said **** it! This was kinda the last straw. I tested all of the cards with each MEC, tested all of the cables and figured I had a fried EDS card and quite frankly I didn't care. I started tearing it down in total frustration. No more of the *** for me I says! I'm gonna go native by golly. Well, now I start rebuilding the Paris computer (because I had already started breaking it down for parts) and first thing that happens is that I load one of my EDS cards to test it and the computer goes nuts, I'm getting insufficient resources messages, deBug messages, tptque errors, you name it. I save my config file and my fx.var file, uninstall Paris, reinstall Paris and the NVidia AGP card that was functioning so perfectly before I tore it down goes totally bonkers and repeatedly reboots the machine in safe mode. Windows can't uninstall the driver with the uninstaller because it is running.......even in safe mode ..........so I hunt everything Nvidia'esque down in the registry and kill it, reboot the machine.......same thing...........pull the Nvidia card go hunt down an old Matrox card, hunt and kill some more NVidia crap in the registry, kill some more Nvidia stuff that I had missed before on the C drive......then I can get it to boot so I load the Nvidia PCI card. It finds the driver that I had apparently missed somewhere, somehow but it's finally working perfectly so I load all my EDS cards again thinking I might get lucky.........nope!!!.......still getting the "sorry, you're hosed.......*** you!!!" message.........soooooo.........I start testing the cards one by one. All 4 of them work fine if they're not interconnected and the pins all look good with nothing bent.........now to test every ****'in interconnect cable until I find the culprit(s). Gee.......it's sooooo nice to be back in hell again.. ;oP http://news.harmony-central.com/Newp/2006/Digital-Audiosoft- Creamware-Plug-Ins.htmlHI James, Who doesn't have a computer that will work flawlessly with the Pulsar card? Sounds like somebody would being diving into the same pit as trying to get Paris to work properly on new PC hardware. At least Paris was discontinued so at least it has an excuse.:) Sorry if I sound bitter but 2 years trying to sell the stuff and having nothing but hassles and no support at all. most the time is seemed like I was doing their damn hardware beta testing... If they still have PCI buss and ACPI issues after all this time then they should just redesign the card. I could easily get 4 Paris cards working on a system from 98-2002 no problem. Getting more than one Pulsar was a mind numbing process. By the looks of their newsgroup it doesn't look like much has changed in 5+years. I guess that explains why it has caught on at all. It's great that Dimitrios has got it working so well but he is a Mad scientist much like DJ..:) Chris James McCloskey wrote: >Chris Ludwig <chrisl@adkproaudio.com> wrote: > > >>Hi, >>So the Creamware cards will work with new Intel Core 2, Intel >>Quad-core, AMD dual core Opterons, AMD M2 and X2 processors, Apple G5 >>(IBM and INtel)?

These great questions and answers are from the days when "Hollywood Squares" game show responses were spontaneous and clever not scripted and (often) dull, as they are now. Peter Marshall was the host asking the questions, of course. Q. Do female frogs croak? A Paul Lynde: If you hold their little heads under water long enough. Q If you're going to make a parachute jump, at least how high should you be? A Charley Weaver: Three days of steady drinking should do it. Q True or False, a pea can last as long as 5,000 years. A George Gobel: Boy, it sure seems that way sometimes. Q You've been having trouble going to sleep. Are you probably a man or a woman? A Don Knotts: That's what's been keeping me awake. Q According to Cosmopolitan, if you meet a stranger at a party and you think that he is attractive, is it okay to come out and ask him if he's married? A Rose Marie: No; wait until morning. Q. Which of your five senses tends to diminish as you get older? A Charley Weaver: My sense of decency. Q In Hawaiian, does it take more than three words to say "I Love You"?

I have a P4 2.6 with 1G memory ASUS P4B motherboard and have only stable pulsar system. Well if you try to run the system at the lowest possible ULLI (latency) 1.5ms you may are getting serious problems now and then. I don't get it. Pulsar is dsp. LATENCY is not an issue why bother with low asio latency settings ? You can monitor via pulsar , even VSTI instruments via Cubase have no latency when played via Creamware's midi interface. I use the biggest asio latency and what the heck. www.planetz.com/forums There are hints tips problem solutions free effects announcements thousands of users, the best forum there is , period.

I am struggling for the last 10 years to get a mix where evrything will stay on their place like old analog consoles and tape machines were. I tried all cubase versions with favoured 5.01 (not 5.1) tried SX tried Samplitude, tried Nuendo , tried Creamware. All had the same symptoms, on or two tracks were sounding fine ,but when you were reaching 7, 8 or more the soundstage was collapsing AND bass was waving around , focus was non existend and mixes were not comparable to the best out thesere. Creamware Pulsar was the best of all but still not satisfying. That was until I tried paris. I worked some good years with analog back then and it was the first time I could mix on the fly with satisfying results. OK I don't like much the AD converters on Paris except for some drums sounds but the mixing buss thing rules, eds compressor Ilike, reverb is decent for some things, eq is very fine used much. Thats why I wanted to say I keep Paris no matter what. I will still be using Creamware to intergrate the latest trends and effects and routing possibilities and leave Paris for mixing.

I have tried your first suggested method, but the biggest problem with this is that automation goes out the window. (aux sends are not automatible, only returns!). Also, whilst I have used and actually sometimes like the EDS compressor for bass and backing vocals and such, it is far too "pumpy" and limited for drums, to my ears. As far as using the native submixes are concerned, yes I have used them in the past for extra tracks when I have needed them. (block BV's doubling the first word of an already layered chorus, for example....). Admittedly native submixes were always the "last line of defence". (defense to those in the US) I always found, at least on my old computer, that using native submixes, even without additional native processing, seemed to bog the system down considerably. I am yet to try native submixes on my new rig, and maybe I could use your second suggested method successfully. Thanks for your thoughts, Dimitrios, and I will try them next heavy duty mixdown. Good on you for "Spreading the Lurve". I have no option but to stick with Paris for a while. I am considering buying protools M-powered, just to see if it sucks as badly as PT-free did some years ago. I realise now that despite the fact that mixing in Paris fits like a glove, I may have to move on to that poxy P.O.S. Digi interface if I am to continue in this (equally poxy) industry! It's funny, but I can't begin to imagine making my mixes "sing" as easily outside of Paris. (Just ask Deej's wife... she knows the poop!) Over and out.

Semi-open format so third parties can compete. Cool effects with step sequencers and filters and such, not just a bunch of power ballad reverb plugs. GREAT sounding synths, works in VST hosts. I mean, it could be called the 'Hey Thad!" card. But I was _scarred_ setting one up a long time ago, and that was for a magazine review and I was getting red carpet support. I'm building a core duo or quad Intel machine soon and I'm going to try to shoehorn that same card into a super new mobo with a UAD on the same PCI bus? When I couldn't get it to work on the legendarily exotic 440BX chipset? My debit card still gets itchy when I'm on Novamusik and see the Pulsar gear but then I remember what I went through with it.

Tracking in DP taking advantage of VSTi's, the UAD-1, and the various other things that PARIS can't do. I freeze the tracks in DP. Then I copy the 24 bit SDII files to my PARIS drive and convert to 24 bit paf's using Soundapp under OS9.2. Fly the tracks into PARIS and mix there. The downside is if I want to use the UAD-1 comps, EQ's, etc. in DP I have to make those decisions before actually "mixing" in PARIS. It's really not any different than applying EQ or Compression during tracking with hardware though. I mean you'd have to make those decisions before mixing in that scenario also. Anyway, so far I've been satisfied with that workflow. I am going to try to do some tracking in PARIS, fly those tracks to DP, add VSTi's, plugins, etc., and fly those tracks back over to PARIS for mixing. Several people here think that some of PARIS's magic also happens on the way in, and I'd like to test that out. On occasion, I've done everything in DP, but I've never been as happy with my all native mixes. I also really miss the PARIS EQ, nolimit, and other various things that aren't available in DP. I'm kind of old school with mixing in that I don't really have a need for elaborate automation, etc. The fader automation in PARIS is all I use 99% of the time. The only real complaints I have about PARIS are the lack of automatic plugin compensation and not being able to use VSTi's. Anyway, I know it's a little more time, but I'm a solo "artist" and don't really do much recording for "clients", so I've got the extra time to make it work.

Apple blew a sale of a G5 to me because I couldn't stick my paris cards in it, or any other standard PCI card for that matter. That's Apples idea of progress, they want to be on the cutting edge, but they leave customers behind in the process. I think they need computers that cost $599.00 to $999.00 with five combo PCI slots, for consumers. They could really take some of the market.

OTOH, PARIS doesn't work with G5 boxes anyway, they don't run OS9 except through emulation. And CreatIDsonique completely dropped the ball with OSX. BTW the morphing PCI scenario is a great argument for using a Firewire audio interface. My Motu 828MII has migrated from a G4 Powermac to a G4 laptop to a G5 Powermac with no problems, and it will work fine on MacIntel laptops and next year's 8 processor MacPro should I be tempted in that direction.

Take one part gravity and two parts anti-gravity and mix till you get a jell.....no wait, that's for the anti-gravity machine. Ok for the mixing.......... Here's the Paris Bible on mixing levels When the lights on the MEC blink you're screwed. When you have the mixer window open and you have meters set to pre-fader, if the light clips, you're screwed. If you have the meters set to post-fader and the clip light clips on the meters, it's ok !!! Use your ears here. If you clip on Native inserts you're screwed. If you clip on EDS inserts they are a little forgiving but try not to. When you are mixing down to the submix and master fader if the clip lights come on, your ok, use your ears here. Make sure to setup your patchbay to +4 on everything possible to get maximum signal. Like my line 6 amp has an adjustable output, so I crank it up till it just clips on the MEC leds and pre-fader clip lights at MAX output when your at the loudest point in the song. Don't let some singer do a vocal check and not belt it out. Force em to give you levels. Check, Check, One, Two, "Hey, gimmie some freaking level" !!!! Once you get a NON digitally clipped recording the rest is in your ears. BAD Mec clip Prefader clip Native effects clip Not so Bad EDS effects clip Good (PUSH IT! Use your ears.) Postfader clip on faders, submix and master Use balanced signal paths wherever possible too. I hope it helps.
