te that FXpansion wrapper that you guys were using gives 16384
samples of latency !!

14. So you wrap senderella with Spinaudiolite.

15. You put senderella on the audio tracks you wanna send to a reverb, put
the send volume accordingly and redirect (full to the right) because
Spinaudio mixes two times the sound of the track)

16. On audio tracks 15 and 16 you put two 16bit empty long files

(5 minutes
or more,whatever)
17. On track 15 you open as STEREO the senderella again (spinaudiolite
wrapped) and put senderella as receiver .
Then on next native slot you open FFX-4 on track 15 as STEREO again.

18. You open from inside FFX-4 a UAD1 reverb or any other DX reverb (like
DSPFX)
If you put UAD1 rvereb you get 4096 latency.
If you put a DX reverb you probably will get 0 latency !!, so no
compensation n

eeded at all.
It ius like having AUX with DX effect for Paris !

19. Now if you insist of using a UAD1 plugin reverb, the to compensate you
do the following:

You nudge ALL YOUR TRACKS (except for the reverb return on tracks 15 and
16-well even if you put it there too nothing will happen anyway- )100ms to
the left and put voxengo sample delay (Try this instead of AnalogX DX
plugin because you have the 64 plugin limit and with VST plugins NO LIMIT
Then put inside latency plugin 384 samples to the right.
Thus all processed tracks will be alligned to reverb return on tracks.

That is for now.
Please ask questions so I can see where I did my wrong homework...

DimitriosHello DM (Scott)?

other activities in the past year. Did you paid
for the Brian Tankersley DVD and did not receive it? If so, start a new
thread
with that topic and maybe Aaron Allen can help out. AA was the videographer
and spent a huge amount of time comping and editing that production.

He may be able to burn you a one off DVD.

I had an opportunity to check out a number of mic's (though extremely difficult
to discern much with all the ambient noise). Despite this circumstance, I
heard a couple that were interesting. There was a Braumer mic that was suggested
by a respected colleague...can't recall the model, but was pretty nice in
the $1,200 dollar range. I also met Ton

>Some conversation or something I read lately, brings to mind a statement
that a lot of radio stations have gone to mp3s as a medium of storing their
playlists, hence the reason radio would sound like poop. And a friend of
mine just subscribed to Sirius radio 3 or 4 months back and was instantly
disappointed with the low quality "streaming sound" of the audio. I asked
him about it last week to see if he was able to do anything about better
reception or playback, and he said, "No, I've just kind of gotten used to
it." Hopefully the audio/data compression technology will continue to
improve, but once again, folks seem to choose convenience over high quality.

Was going to check out MusicPro,but I've been hearing some not
great reviews as of late.Might check Clarion too.
Heritage looks like no deductibles which is nice.

frequency response..

I have been reading your posts about this. I appreciate your efforts. You
have done a whole lot of testing and in a previous post you mentioned a way
to get the sample latency of UAD-1 plugins down to 2048 samples, which is
*fairly* close to a 50ms nudge in the Paris editor. If a wrapper can
actually reduce latency, then why not write one that reduces it altogether?
Would this be possible to do?//........or at least might it be possible to
actually write a UAD-1 > Paris latency compensator/wrapper with even less
latency..........say exactly 88 samples, so it would corelate to 1 x Paris
ms (or some incremental *Paris* nudge/slide). If it was specific to Paris
editor increments such as:

1ms= 80 samples
5ms= 240 samples
10ms= 480 samples
25ms= 1120 samples
50ms= 2240 samples
75ms= 3360 samples
100ms= 4480 samples

..............then the Voxengo/Sampleslide step could be eliminated. Still,
there would need to be some way to adjust for the UAD-1 plugins like
Fairchild and Pultec, which have different latency than the 1176 and LA-2A,
so this *exact* situation might not ever be possible.

Dunno......just a thought.

As long as it's the same physical hard drive that you first got the code

Anybody else experience this?
It is only happening as far as I can tell with Paris, and it is not project
specific, nor related to any particular plugins. I have rulled that out.
I guess my next move is to remove one card at a time and see what happens
unless someone has any other suggestions.
Sigh.

Dear Tom,
You may have had problems because of console...
This damn nice chainer is a nogo (at least for now) with Paris.
It crashes Paris a lot.
I don't use any automation in Paris yet...
You know I am new here...
Maybe you used EDSTransfer=3D8,8 which is also a no go for Paris.
Too many streaming errors.

ke the Paris dinner. It was great
hanging out with Sakis, Adrian, Gene, Morgan, Chris, and guests. Of
course, the time flew by, but still we managed to cover many topics
and cry yet another round in our beer about the demise of Paris.

As far as the show goes, I had a great time, hauled in several pounds
of brouchures and trinkets, and renewed some friendships made in past
years. I saw Mr. and Mrs. Neve at one point, but my brush with
greatness was standing next to Les Paul at the John Hardy booth. I was
close enough to get his cooties, and those would be rockin',
change-the-way-we-make-music cooties, not those
please-buy-our-gear-before-we-go-broke cooties that were so prevalent.

On the gear front, I would have to say that everyone and his sister
seems to be making ribbons these days. That's cool, but I still like
my Wes Dooley R-84 the best. Also, his assistant let it slip that he
is working on a preamp for his mics. That will be very interesting.

My oogle piece of gear is the Muse Receptor. It was being hyped at the
last AES/NY show, but last time I checked was still in its early
growth stages. However, it seems that many software houses are working
with Muse and there is a ton of stuff to work with it. Sadly Waves and
UAD are not on the list, but Native Instruments is, and thats what I
want. Look for a posting on the forsale group soon as I sell my
hardware synths off to pay for one of these Receptors.

Another piece of gear that caught my eye was the new Lavry DA-10, a
competitor to the very popular Benchmark DAC-1. Lavry has a reputation
for making the best convertors, so it will be interesting to see how
these boxes duke it out in the coming year. Also, the Presonus/DeMaria
Labs preamp looks like a nice unit.

Finally, the Waves MaxxBCL was almost the first thing I saw when I
walked into the show, and it had me drooling (more than usual) the
rest of the day. If mom is reading this forum, I would really like one
of these under the tree this December, hint, hint.

As for laughs, I had a few. First, chatting with Grant Carpenter, who
makes the incredible Gordon preamps, and having him explain that
changing the dye color of his PCBs increased performance of his latest
generation of preamps. If you can discern the electron flow variations
between red and green PCBs, then you p
