But, its not nearly as "out-of-the-box-easy" as Acid is for working with loops. I've been running Acid pro 2.0 for years and have Acid 6.0 on my wish list. By the way, Acid sync's pretty well via MTC. I've never done any testing to see how accurate this is, but my ear gave it the nod.

Versions 5 and 6 allow you to categorize and store loops according to genre or instrument or any category you choose. It's easier than ever. Great program, well worth upgrading.

I also paid $1100 for it because if i didnt get it i would have died. acid 6 is definately worth it.the loop manager alone is worth it. Idont know if you use vegas at all,but the manager is common with that program as well.sorting through 300 gigs of loops and hits without it is daunting. v3 and 4 coexist on your dongle . no Dx in V.4. not sure if you can use DX with a rewire program . the only one i would want is autotune, but i use melodyne all the time anyway.

They started using it in pop for diabetics. Some marketing genius thought it was a good idea to market it to dieters. They now use it in gum, mints and chocolate milk. The stuff gives me an instant sore throat and headache. I've seen people have an allergic reaction to it. James "DJ" <nowayjose@dude.net> wrote: >I never drink stuff with Aspartame.

Very cool I'm thinking that ACID 6.0 might be worth the price of admission ($199.00 upgrade) I also have Vegas Pro here that I registered back in 2000 but that I haven't used since I moved to Colorado. I called Sony about this and I can upgrade to the latest/greatest DVD authoring version for $249.00. I don't really need a video editing rig right now but it's nice to know I can get into this relatively inexpensively if need be.

Hold the ALT key and draw it across. If it is an Acidized file. then the tempo should already be read int he audio pool. I would double check cause some times it won't be. The play order track is another very cool method also but haven't gotten into allot so far. If you want to go back and tweak tempo related info on individual parts then ACID is a little faster. Both Cubase and ACID aren't as intuitive as Ableton Live for this type of arrangement IMHO especially if you also want to use non-looped content and MIDI/VSTi.

But if you're starting to do radio spots, then the next thing the ad agencies will want from you are tv spots (or at least the audio portion for tv spots), and so at that point, you will find you have to have that application, or... :)Oh, OK, I thought meant you had a separate Worldclock card for the PC ITSELF (i.e. separate from the convertors). (Which actually, would not be a bad idea if there WAS such a thing - since computers always want to try to default to 44.1, even when you disable every onboard audio thingy).

The forementioned DAWs , including Sonar and Samplitude have very powerful, fast sample accurate midi and audio editing .. I think the new version of Logic will ran right up there , even surpassing the current crop of DAws.

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! bcSheesh... I go away for a bit and DJ ends up in the horsepital...

WTF is that? lol Deej, I KNOW what you're saying about the dogs... one of my dogs (the Collie) is blind, & as a result, her hearing is probably even more acute than if she wasn't, and she barks at EVERYTHING! There's a train that goes around the mountain in Sunland Park, New Mexico, and those tracks are probably at least 10 or 12 miles away from my house. The schedule seems to vary a bit, and it's a pretty busy set of tracks... the trains run past at several times during the day & evening but the ones at night usually go by at maybe 11:30 at night, another at about 2:00 in the morning, and another between 6:00 & 6:30am... the trains have to sound their horn as they approach the railroad crossing in Sunland Park, and if it's a still night, I can BARELY hear that horn - not enough to wake me up if I'm asleep, but the dog of course hears it no matter what, and naturally has to bark at it, as if it's some kind of threat she's warding off LOL. My other dog can see, so he only barks at normal things most dogs would bark at... like if someone comes to the door, if there's another dog walking by past the house with it's owner, things like that. The Collie barks at the train, EVERY siren (fire truck, ambulances, etc. - there's a fire station a couple miles away, so every time they get called out, she's off & barking) bird noises outside, kids playing, you name it. Oh, and then try having a daughter in college who works at a local martini bar on the weekends & comes home at 4:00am after they close down & get done cleaning up (and of course goes out herself once or twice a week & comes home late); I'm a fairly light sleeper, so even though she tries to be quiet when she's coming in, I still wake up most of the time. So, uninterrupted sleep? I haven't known what THAT is in I dunno how long!

I took one of these about 9:00. Went to bed at 10:00. Crash got cold and jumped up on the bed, yanked the pillow out from under my head (he likes to keep a pillow in his mouth when he sleeps.sorta' like a giant pacifier) and laid down on top of me to get warm at around 2:30 so I woke up. Got back to sleep around 3:00 after grabbing the *backup pillow* and negotiating a harmonious arrangement of sorts with Crash and now I'm up and feeling hung over. So much for *sleep aids* (can you say dope?).

I'm going to contact tech support tomorrow and see if I can find a fix because I'd like to keep this card in my cubase DAW. It's IRQ situation isn't ideal since it's spanning 17 and 18 and tow of my Pulsar cards are on those same IRQ's, but so far I'm not having any problems with this. I'm playing back 40 tracks in cubase Sx with no lockups. IRQ sharing makes me nervous though. This was an EBay purchase ($135.00) so if I can't get a fix for head #3 I think I'll be returning it and looking around for another one because I like it. I hate to recommend anything like this because IRQ sharing is such a wild card, but having 4 x displays on 1 x AGP card seems stable so far and very responsive, IRQ sharing or not.

I recently shit-canned my older Pent 4 and acquired a new one. Of course I had to reinstall Paris. I searched all over the internet and can not find the directions to setting the settings in the Paris.cfg file. I thought it was on that parisfaqs website... I found it, but there is nothing on that site except reference about the MidiPlayDisable=1 Can someone share with me the writeup on that please? My setup is working ok... but I occasionally get that nasty Tmp que... something error... and I think it's because I don't have the settings adjusted. Also, I got that error right after tracking... and gues what, it's almost impossible to save the project because as soon as you 'ok' the error, it pops back on... so you lose you session... :( Please help..I am on a Pent 4, 1GB DDR memory... current settings CacheSize=10 OvwCacheSize=2048 IOSize=64 SubMixCacheSize=256 if this helps...
