description: ything to Paris, then rendering the tracks at 00:00:00:00, then batch processing them in Wavelab as .wav's and importing them to a Cubase Sx mix template. I do patch my Multiface into Paris digitally when tracking sometimes, but I mostly use it's AD/DA's as insert sends and returns while mixing. Having that auto compensation in SX is a dream come true.

I can clip Paris with a signal from Cubase SX if I don't attenuate it with the Paris fader. this may have something to do with Live Mix mode in Paris. I don't know, but I can receive this hot signal with the Paris channels set to post fader and it seems to be attenuating the *hotter than 0 dBfs signal. I know it doesn't make any sense. Maybe I'm just missing something, but there is a big red clip light on the transport of Cubase SX and it should be making all kinds of racket.............but it's not. Here's an rough example of what I'm getting. The LF is a little hot on this one. I've tamed it a bit in the remix, but it's a good example of what I'm talking about. Cubase SX clip meter is bright red. Peak levels in Paris were -1.875dB because I the Paris channel faders, attenuated the submix and Globl faders and strapped NoLimit on the Global bus. After the bounce, I just boosted it by 1.8dB inWavelab.......that it. http://www.mercysakes.com/paris/Doug%20Joyce/Road%20To%20Par adise/paradise%2 02-6-06.mp3 I know it doesn't make any sense so maybe I'm thinking I'm doing something that's not really happening.......... > > Cheers, > Kim. > > > "DJ" <animix_spam-this-ahole_@animas.net> wrote: > >OK, > > > >this is getting to be one of my favorite tricks: >

I've got another mix in the wings after this one is done and my producer just got back into town with 3 more projects to start (one of them is a DVD project so I'm going to be tracking/mixing at 96k). I'm probably going to be experimenting with some stem mixes to see what I can achieve there.
