I would add that, right now I'm kinda in-different about the Apple/Logic Studio pricing. I agree with you that, perception in pro-audio is king. If something is sold cheap, then it must not be as good as the more expensive item. Think Paris vs Pro Tools circa 1999. But, I did think both Nuendo and Logic 7 was overpriced a tad. I'm glad I was an early adpoter of Nuendo and got for $600.00 back in 2001. But, if I'm honest iwould have to say that that app(Neundo) has paid for it's self hundreds times over. So, price is a realitive issue. I see you point. Just like the movie Predator vs Alien, I think we the consumers of pro-audio are caught up in a war between Apple and Microsoft(Digidesing). Yes. for all of you who don't know, microsoft is Advid's largest investor. Bailed them out back in 2002.. This war is going to get ugly. With blood (MOTU's Performer) becoming a scoring daw only. As well as, Roland's Cakewalk Sonar, and yes, even Yammmy's Steingberg. You know Digi is going to answer the bell, with a new LE/M-Powered say 12…

Very few companies jumped on board. Then, I read that Yammmy is offering it's SDK on Studio Connections. This is a disaster waiting to happen.

What's wrong with Yamaha? Don't they have the where-with all to bring this product to fruition?

I have some insert 'Y' cables, but not sure how to use them in this way. I plug in the "send" side to the insert at the mixer channel, or into a channel on Paris? You confused me... I see that each of the 24 channels on my mixer has a i/o insert, but I thought they were for using external effects. I didn't know I could use these as direct outs. Looking at the insert cable, the 'Y' side has "tip" and I think "Sleeve". The other end is just black. Do I plug the 'Y' tip and sleeve to Channel's 1 and 2 of the insert on the mixer, and then the single black end into channel 1 on my 8in card? Is that how I do that?

The inserts on each channel should work as direct sends iirc, by just using one side of the stereo plug... it's unbalanced but that's OK. -- Martin Harrington Lend An Ear Sound Sydney, Australia 0414913247 From: "Ed" <askme@email.com> Subject: Paris and Behringer Mixer Date: Tuesday, 25 September 2007 12:53 AM Hey folks... does this sound ridiculous, or does it sound ok? I use to track/record straight from the instruments/micas to preamps and directly into my 8in cards. For the purpose of performing live, I recently purchased a behringer SL3242 (24 channel mixer) and I have the main outs going back into 2 channels on the mixer. If you are familiar with this mixer, there are no direct outs (like I am use to for multi-track recording) and I have to use the Sub 1 thru 4. I am so disappointed with the levels I could cry. Levels within the mixer are good, but what is going out the subs into Paris is so low. I have the sub levels almost max'd, but still I have to open each .paf file after recording and increase about 10db. Playback is ok... except again the levels I am sending to Paris. My question is... would it be inappropriate to put a 4 channel preamp between this mixer and Paris... I need better levels bad and I am getting desperate. I love this mixer ex…
