And your trying to tout Vista, which is a blatant rip off of Mac OSX, but
then again, what's new? Just remember, the "new" features your seeing in
Vista have been in Mac OSX as far back as six years ago.

Have you payed attention to how big the Vista install is? I'd say it's Bloat!

>Hi,
I know that many of us are lazy in gathering info regarding Paris so here
is a summary that jumps out of my mind right now.

1. If you wanat a stable Paris without crashes like when exiting or when
changing projects while Paris is open, or closing plugins while playing
suggest that you disable DX support by changing the 0 to 1 in Paris cfg to
the DX disable line already there.* scroll down for a solution for DX support
some other way.
Also put your entire folder (just move) to c root, i.e c:/Paris
Put your vst's (uninstall and reinstall if needed) to c:/vst.
Also in registry (backup your registry before you do it in case you will
accidentally mess up with it)put under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Control/Session
Manager/Memory Management put s dword entry (might be there already)
DisablePagingExecutive double click and put number 1 so it will look like
0x00000001(1)
Also same place put LargeSystemCache as 1 again.
PagedPoolSize 4294967295 (as decimal)or ffffffff as hexademical.
also IOPageLockLimit as 40000 (hexademical)
Restart your computer (remember to always backup your registry to a floppy
disk first in case you will do wrongly the above ).

2. Now if you wanna still use DX plugins install the free FFX4 that can see
from within itself all your DX plugins.

3. For VST plugins I recommend the chainer or the free effectschainer.

4. Your vst folder is c:/vst
Now make another folder named c:/VstParis and put inside only
FFX4 your vst chainer , either effectschainer (also a DX chainer too !) or
chainer , and Vertex if you bought it (You ought this to yourself and Paris,
awesome).
This way Paris will launch very very quick.

5. Chainers benefits and drawbacks.

A Chainer (thats its name) is great, not free but extremely stable.
Can do 99 effects with ten pages of vst (no DX here), b ut for DX you can
load from inside chainer FFX4...
It has a dry and wet volume so you can have a "New York" style of compressing
(heavy compression underneath wet sound).
Chainer loads SSL plugins but DOES NOT show gui when loaded from FFX4 inside
chainer, workaround is to use SSL as vst instances.

B. FFX4 , Free, stable, DX chainer only but recognised as vst and DX.
Cannot load MONO waves effects ! only stereo.

C. Effectschainer, Free, Can chain vst AND DX in one !, can see ONLY MONO
DX plugins although it can load mono vst plugins, a little unstable with
that mono thing because it like STEREO !
SSL plugins crash Paris when loaded as DX.

4. Waves plugins can show indivindually as VST plugins and not under the
waveshells by using a free utility shell2vst.exe which is free.
You have to copy this in your waves directory in program files and drag over
the waveshells one each time.
The outputted vst waves can the be dragged to your c:/vst directory.

5.Vertex Faderworks is a godsend plugin tailored to Paris needs !
It has a latency compensation system that can solve all your latent plugins.
It has 32 groups with volume panning mute and other so you can now group
acroos submixes ,solo a specifically group , mute another , raise the volume
of your acoustic guitar tracks only that are spread over submixes etc...
Extremely stable to run directly from withing Parisvst folder.

6. Default project suggestion.
Make a default project putting on your last native slot Faderworks on each
Paris audio channel.
Then on slot 1 put your chainer.
I use chainer with FFX4 inside chainer to cover all vst and DX.
For Mono Waves plugins and generally mono version of DX plugins I have contacted
the effectschainer programmer if he can make this free great vst/dx chainer
to be able to SEE the mono DX version plugins.

7. Suggestion.
Use vst when possible with Paris as this seems far more stable than DX.
For autotune you can use FFX4 to load it.

8. For UAD1 I suggest you use effectchainer (free) for steeo plugins.
For mono version (to save dsp) I suggest you get either Spinaudio DX wrapper
or Directixer wrapper.
You can wrap with them the mono versions only.

So you might now ask hey I am confused what to use where and when ?

I totally suggest you buy chainer as it has been tested by me for months
now and is extremely stable and fantastic, then use inside the free FFX4
for DX.
Disable DX from within Paris and use in your extra Parisvst directory ONLY
Chainer ,X4 and faderworks
Yes only Three plugins for Paris to see and NO DX !!
Now open on each Paris audio channel a chainer instance with faderworks inside
OR load faderworks on last native slot on all channels.
So consider Paris as a version4 software whuich has a new vst/dx wrapping
system and new group/solo/muting/ syatem and latency compensation !
You will see how stable Paris can be !
Hope this helps.

chrisl@adkproaudio.comHI DJ,
I think you'll have to make the USB mic thing the windows default record
device and then select ASIO MME or maybe ASIO DX as the driver. This
will give very high latency if you try to monitor the incoming signal
depending how the signal gets monitored on the mic.
You might want to try using the ASIO for all driver. It might make
things work better in Cubase.

what are you crazy man? Next you'll want to learn about music theory and
stupid stuff like scales.

:-)>...............needs a support staff,<


Now letsee.........when my wife's computer started acting up last week, I
had another mobo here that I bought for $125.00, I pulled her computer
offline, replaced the motherboard and had it up and running again in about
30 minutes.

$125.00 for mobo
$30.00 for time spent if billing at $60.00 per hour
$155.00 total.

Now I wonder how much time Rick spent on the phone and running back and
forth to god knows wherever and back and he still doesn't have a new
($700.00) mobo and now how far is it to the "genius bar" where the
omnipotent Mac "geniuses" will decide whether he is hosed or not. I'll
guarantee you that he has spent wayyyyyy more than $155.00 in time and
aggravation over this already and if the "geniuses" turn him down for the
new mobo, then he gets to make the decision as to whether it is worth
replacing the mobo on an old Mac or just resigning it to the trash
heap...........well, maybe some of the hardware would work if he could build
another Mac, himself........but he

would have to buy a mobo first, now
wouldn't he?.....or maybe he could try getting some extra mileage out of the
old Mac parts if he decided to spend the $700.00 a new Mac mobo would cost
him for a PC mobo/CPU and RAM and case.......but I doubt the old Mac CDR,
PSU and video card would work...........well maybe, but this would defeat
the whole Mac philosophy of "oneness with the company", now wouldn't it?.

Doing fine with the dual G5, Logic, 828MII and a bunch of great physical
and virtual instruments. Plus suitably amazing graphics/animation/video
production apps.

Anything more I would want isn't being made yet.

Although if a Parker Fly Mojo dropped from the sky, that would be fun.

Cheers,

How do you turn off the genie/slide effect on dialog boxes/confirmation
windows (e.g. "Are you sure", etc)? Since it isn't my Mac I can't alter
too much, but this one drives me crazy waiting for dialog boxes to slide in
and out of view when doing simple tasks.

I can't find anything in prefs - only the dock's effects can be altered
there (animate opening Apps isn't it - OSX apps seem to have this hardwired
into them).

>................and works perfectly. I was really surprised first of all that
it even worked since this CPU is not approved for my mobo and secondly I was
surprised at the quickness with which everything loads as compared to my
previous CPU. It is noticable and significant. For those of you who are
running native rigs on 939, mobos, you might want to give this a look. 2 x
2.6GHz cores for a total of 5.2 GHz of processing power with a properly
threaded app. I paid $313.00 for this at Newegg. This is less than the 4800
x 2 CPU's are going for. What did it get me???......well, I had been running
an AMD 64 4800 x 2 CPU before I got this and on a track heavy/plugin heavy
project I'm mixing, the CPU was spiking hard at 64k buffers and playback was
not possible without major stuttering/dropouts. After installing the Opteron
185, the CPU is not spiking at all. The meter is running up to about 75-80%
usage. I'm not sure how a 400 MHz increase in CPU horsepower (appx 8.3%)
could yield a 20+% increase in performance unless there's something else
going on with the Opterons that isn't going on with the AMD 64's.

Sarah???....what do you think?

;o)Update: The C1 didn't cut it. To much sibilance as you predicted. She is
now using a Shure KSM27 (she liked my KSM32 and it sounds similar).

Well it would take about 6 months, and probably cost about 2K,
and then I would have to see if Sensei is willing to do Kanji on
more of them.

How do you turn off dumb dialog boxes in XP? I plug in a USB drive and I
get a window that says that the computer has detected a new device. No shit,
I just plugged in a USB drive! Then when I unplug the drive. I'll get a
message about device is missing. No shit, Sherlock, I unplugged it!

Just to get to a USB drive that I've plug in, I have to click start, my computer,
then I have to figure out which of the generic drives that I have plugged
in, it is. Is it the F drive, G Drive, H Drive??? That's three clicks just
to get to the drive, and now I have to figure out which one it is? That
is a waist of time. On a Mac, the Icon shows up on your desk top, and yes,
you can hide it.

More dumb messages, "HI_SPEED Device Plugged into non-HI-SPEED USB Hub"
First, there is no Hub! Second, SO WHAT!!! Now I have to close another
stupid window?

Or how about every tim I start up XP I get this message: "You have files
waiting to be written to the CD" No I don't! Wouldn't that be my decision
to make? Files are waiting, what are they at a bus stop? Waiting? I didn't
decide that! Dumb, just dumb!

The stupid dialog boxes in Word. "What would you like to do next" And that's
only a few examples!

Talk about irritating!

chrisl@adkproaudio.comIf Macs are so easy to use, you should know the answer James.

When you replace/overwrite a file in most apps on OSX, you get a genie/drop
down
dialog box asking "Are you sure?". It's slow (slower than a straight popup)
and annoying.

The answer? You can't turn it off in preferences anywhere or in app prefs.

In WinXp this is a simple preferences called "visual effects" on/off. No
registry hacking required,
though that is quite easy as well. There is a whole list of properties and
characteristics you can turn
on/off per personal preference.

I actually wasn't trying to bust Mac OSX, but figured that since you say it
is so easy,
you would likely know the answer. I guess it is only easy if you accept
what you are given
and don't see a need to customize anything to fit your workflow (other than
the desktop picture of course). :-)

Regards,
Dedric

BIG DEAL! But hey, if that's what bothers you about Mac OSX, what ever!
What about the dumb dialog boxes in windows?

>We have been going back and forth on a number of threads about Mac vs PC(as

appear to be a bit hostile and disrespectful in hindsight. It's no secret
that we prefer different platforms for different reasons, but I want you to
know that for the most part, my tongue has been planted firmly in cheek when
making these posts with the assumption that yours has been too. The last few

posts I've made did too. I'm sorry I provoked this. I sometimes with we had
emoticons here that would lend some nuance to our postings. I can assure you
that I haven't ruled out Mac as a possible platform for me in the future and
a goodly part of the reason for this because of you, Jaimie, Gene and others
here who use Macs. I sincerely respect all of your opinions/choices but my
posts sure haven't reflected this. I do prefer the PC right now, but things
are always subject to change and I want you to know that I respect (all of)
your "Macness" and appreciate your posts pointing out the cool things this
system can achieve.

....in all seriousness,

;o)

DeejMaybe this has changed, but I always thought the 02R was about the worst sounding
piece of digital gear ever. The EQs in particular were actually painful to
hear. I remember talking to Stephan Sprenger about them and asking what the
fuss was about and Stephan said roughly, 'Some people write DSP code according
to what's in the textbook, which won't get you fired but still sounds like
shit.'

Well, OSX has dialog boxes too...that is what I was referring to...dialog
boxes.
Not that any of them are dumb.

The ones in windows just pop up instantly. They sllllliiiiiidde open and
sllllliiiiidde back in OSX.
I just wanted to shut that off and have them just pop up to speed things up
a bit since I'm used to a
faster workflow. Guess it can't be done in OSX. Kind of lame to not give
the user the option don't you think?

Oh...did I mention that I'm only posting in this thread for fun, simply
because you are so enamoured with Macs
and take these threads so seriously? ;-)

I really couldn't care less - it was my wife's Mac so I really can't change
anything there anyway
....just curious if it could be done since I couldn't find a pref
anywhere..... :-))

Dedric

First I don't think you 'admire' me at all. Second, I didn't call all Christians
fuckheads. This is the section in question.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

P.S. While my hatred of the stateside twice born remains intact, my suspicion
of spirituality in general has been shaken by this trip to Thailand. It's
my third time here, and each time I've made a few new friends and gotten
closer to actual Thais. The country is over 90% Buddhist and their spirituality
in the face of very real hardships is inspiring. I've never encountered a
sweeter, gentler group of people in my life. I've gotten to know the (unspeakably
gorgeous) girls who work in the swank restaurant/bar in my hotel, and three
of them just went on holiday together earlier this week. Where? To a Buddhist
temple that cares for Thais with AIDS. They used their _vacation_ to take
food and medicine and money to some people seriously fucked over by the world.
One of the motivations was a friend of theirs who recently came out as gay
to them, which is a far, far bigger deal in Thailand than in the US. And
instead of doing what would be easy, i.e. throwing the person out of their
life for making the wrong 'choice,' they embraced him and did something to
help the gay community in their country. I remain an atheist and make no
pretensions to Buddhism, but having seen how their piety brings out the noble
traits of charity and understanding I can no longer dismiss all religion
out of hand. Having seen what their quiet and sincere spirituality does for
Thais I have no choice but to respect it. I just despise closed minded holy
roller US fuckheads that much more.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

So the fuckheads are 'closed minded holy roller' types in the US. And I stand
by that, and I mean the kind of people who are 'curing' same sexers and scaring
teenagers who masturbate and insisting that the US is a Christian nation
and all of that. So I want those two things noted.

Oddest of all to me is that, as most would see from the above quote, I was
actually writing something _positive_ about religion. At least by my standards.
This last trip to Thailand was a real watershed moment for me. Previously
I had thought of religion as at best a crutch for psyches unable to manage
without it, and at worst just another tool used by the few to control the
many. But this trip, having spent time with youngish Thais, I had to admit
that part of what made them such inspiring and beautiful souls was their
inspiring and beautiful religion. I'd be a total hypocrite to suddenly claim
to be a buddhist, I'm an atheist just like I was before I went, but for the
first time I saw the good in religion.

I'd think that if a) you actually 'admired' me and b) you were interested
in spirituality in the broader sense you'd think that was a good thing. Instead
you misquote me and call me bitter and bigoted and hint that I might wind
up murdered like what's her name. Real class, Don.

Deej, I'm laughing all the way. I hope you know I'm just joking with you
also. I use both platforms and I would never want it to be only a Mac world.
Your a PC guy and that's OK. I'm sure I'll need your help with my XP boxes
from time to time.

However, you might not want to read the general NG right now. My Venom
for MS is loud and clear."P.S. While my hatred of the stateside twice born remains intact"

John 3:5-7
Jesus answered, "I tell you the truth, no one can enter the
kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit.
Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit.
You should not be surprised at my saying,
'You must be born again.'

Thad,
You hate all Christians.
Either amend your statement or accept your prejudices.
And of course, there are many good charismatic Christians
(holy rollers) as well. Your version of "open-minded" is,
of course, rather subjective, as is everyone elses.

And I quite admire you. Your word on several subjects is
the gold standard IMO.

>Well, my main take on it is that I don't care, I simply will not buy things
in a format that treats me like I'm a criminal. My secondary take on it is
that Esteban Jobs is wicked smart and managed to brow beat the record labels
into using his store precisely because of the DRM it had. Now that he's cornered
the market he's campaigning for the removal of the DRM because, surprise,
customers don't like it.

I'm also quite sure that some day in the not too distant future when you
buy a car you'll have to sign and EULA that says, 'This 'motor vehicle' is
licensed, not sold, to you . . .'

BTW I'm putting my money where my mouth is on this one. I'm trying to convince
the Mold Monkies to release our upcoming second CD as both .ogg and .flac
files into the file sharing universe. I'm hoping to include a note pointing
people to our web site and saying only that if they like our music it would
be really cool if they would buy a sticker or a T-Shirt or pick up my bar
tab some night. I haven't completely convinced the guys, I don't write songs
for this band so it's their copyright not mine, but I'm getting closer.

That's why last year when looking to update my Neundo PC, I opted for the

the dialog box quickly slides down like a window shade instead of just appearing,
and closes the same way. It's just different, not a big deal. Dedric is
just knit picking.

Now the Windows dialog boxes the just pop up, stop work flow and get in the
way on a regular basis in MS Windows are considerable. I hate when Windows
dialog boxes get in the way and tell me something I already know, or ask
me some dumb question. That's irratating! Or I'm told to get up and exercise.
How Stupid! Do you guys really like that shit? And Dedric is complaining
about the way dialog windows open and close. I'm sure there's a way to change
this, but who in the hell would want to??? It's no big deal!!!

Dedric, go on the Mac hack sites to find out how to do this, I'm sure they'd
love you there.

This is not admiration. This is realizing that I'm smart and have acquired

Nah, there's lots of other smart people and useful experts
in the world. You have a talent for understanding the big
picture in this industry, and no one can buy your opinions.

Thad - just fyi, this is quite common among Christians as well. Don't
believe
what the political circles and news media tell you about Christians.

When in college, I attended at church that had one of the strongest college
ministries

er local organization building and
repairing homes for low/no income people. There are many churches doing
the same kinds of things every day, every week, every year, quietly without
the news media around to make anyone aware of any of it.

The church we attend here in Colorado has a partnership with a ministry in
Swaziland
helping people there with food, medicine, etc. AIDs is expected to wipe out
over half the population
in 5 years there. It is one of the most AIDs-devastated countries in Africa
right now.

This isn't a "look what great things we are doing" post -
just an fyi that there are way more Christians doing really cool things for
others
than the news media would lead you to believe. People in general can be
overbearing -
the "beating people over the head" mentality isn't unique to Christians.

The important thing for both viewpoints is to not become judgemental and
stereotype
people for their beliefs simply because a news story made their faith appear
a certain way.

There is a difference between condoning behavior and accepting people -
simply condoning every behavior to avoid setting boundaries and making any
distinction between
right and wrong is a problem in and of itself, and not the enlightened
attitude some would have the world believe.

And there is also a distinct difference between judging an action as right
or wrong, and showing grace for the person,
and they aren't mutually exclusive, or counter intuitive.

The bottom line: love is always far more powerful than hate, regardless of
what you believe. But that
is the true foundation of Christianity.

Dedric

Instead you decide to tell the newsgroup how "wrong" or "nit picky" I am
about Macs
to be sure no one is led astray by my heretical comments?? Lol.

James, I'm sure you are a great guy and like I already said - it really is
no big deal to

actually
proving your point. It was all in good humor. I was never serious. Lighten
up a bit. :-)

Just relax. The sun will still come up tomorrow no matter how many of us use
Macs or PCs.
They are just tools made of plastic, silicon and aluminum, that's all.

Really, I have much better things to do than worry about sliding windows, or
any thing else OS related. :-)

doing fine now, and now the greedy bastards want
more. They are trying to force Apple to raise prices. Jobs would like to
see them relax and open the market up more by dropping the DRM. The Pay
to play model sucks for consumers. It's MS's pay to play DRM that Apple
is fighting against. Yet you blame Apple, and accuse them of the pay of
play model.

Look at the record companies and the lock they have on music distribution
and Air play. Apple has tried to help artist and independent record labels
to get their product out there to the public. Apple has given the public
a place to buy music, a lot of music at a reasonable price. Apple doesn't
force you to buy the whole record to get one good song.

The greedy entitled record companies have tried to screw the artists and
musicians out of their fair share. They are trying to squeeze everybody
they and their greasy lawyers can. Look at how many people the record companies
and the RIAA have sued! They have their lobby group the RIAA which is a
gang of thug lawyers that pushes everybody around. Impoverished kids and
single moms! They don't care, pay up or else! Slime!

MS, look at the things they've done. They have stolen from Apple, netscape,
Sun, the list goes on, and the list is long. Look at how much they have
taken. They steal, then they turn around and prosecute people that copy
their software, when much of it was stolen by them. How many times have
you heard of Apple having people prosecuted?

Yep, it's Apple that is evil, and it's Steve Jobs that is the bad guy. It's
Jobs that wants to take your freedoms away, not Gates and his Pay to Play
model.

Get a clue!

>The range of beliefs between Christian sects is obvious, even when they
profess to believe the same thing. You are quite right that people make
it complicated. And everyone has their own reasons for doing so.

The history is fascinating. I can give you the Lutheran point of view,
born out of the reformation to spring free of the control and excesses
of the Catholic church at that time.

As you imply, there are also ranges of beliefs within other
umbrella-labeled religions as well as non-religious belief systems.

Your Sunni/Shiite example in Iraq, or Catholic/Protestant in Ireland,
are both examples where people within the "same" religion have had
rather violent disagreements.

And we haven't even touched the differences between different religions.

My simple point: generalizing leads to misunderstandings. I agree it
applies to many situations, not just Christianity, which is why I
mentioned that Christianity is hardly alone in being splintered. But
Christianity was the sticking point in this thread.

To expand on your expansion, it would be useful if people were more
clear about just what and who they are criticizing or praising, so that
other sub-groups don't take offense or credit.

And we should be very aware and careful how we may be manipulated by
ambiguous language.

As far as finding reference points on unity, we can surely use any we
can get, religious or non-religious. One problem with using religious
reference points is the fact that there are many religions and they
disagree on major issues. We may do better internationally by using
common human reference points that are shared by many people, religious
and non-religious alike.

great, but the Macbook Pro can do so much more.

I've now got my Macbook Pro (Intel) running XP, Vista and Ubuntu Ultimate
Edition Linux (desktop and server) simultaneously inside Mac OS-X using Parallels
(VM).

The cool thing is that the latest release of Parallels has a feature called
"Coherence" that allows XP or Vista apps to run side by side with the Mac
apps as if they were actually in OS-X (but they are running XP.) One can
drag and drop folders and files between OSs, as well as copy/cut and paste
between OSs. Outrageously cool!

One can also run the VM OSs full screen at full res. So it looks and acts
just like a (gasp) PC. Very very cool to have all that on one laptop, plus
full net access, USB, DVD/CD, etc. Each VM OS can be independently started,
stopped and PAUSED. So no more waiting for slow boots and shutting down.
Just pause the OS until you need it.

http://www.parallels.com/

The only hitches are 1) Microsoft will only allow certain Vista versions
to be installed in VM and
2) the glitzy Aero graphics in Vista isn't supported by Parallels yet. I'm
sure they'll add support for that as well as Ubuntu Beryl's GL magic. If
you haven't seen that search Youtube for a Beryl vs Vista comparison video.

Cheers!

Another great post.

VMS are the BOMB! no matter what platform you are on.

My development environment is 100% VM now. Visual studio, outlook, office,
openoffice, everything runs in a 100% self contained VM. The only thing I
leave for the real machine is the stuff that needs direct hardware access.

The fun part is that I also now have a commodore 64 virtual machine with
my favorite carts from 1983! (thanks to openDos and VICE running in a VM)

I have VMS for XP, Windows Server 2003, 2000, NT 3.51, 4.0 and whatever the
heck else I need. I will never, ever install a piece of software to the
physical machine again, unless it needs direct hardware access.

ChuckHey Steve and Chuck --

You guys are the uber-geeks, for sure -- this is soooo over my head,
it ain't funny...

And yet... I'm intrigued enough to check out this "parallels" link,
and look forward to soon becoming profoundly confused (in my spare
time, of course...).
