sounding PT mixes. So I can still use Paris whenever I like and I
can experiment with a mix of the two styles.

What does all this mean? Nothing other then I understand why some people
may prefer the way other systems sound and I think that my own preferences
are biased by many years of listening to records made the old way. I don't
see giving up Paris any time soon but I also don't think it's worth fighting
over if someone else has different opinions on what sounds good.

And don’t forget…the cyclical nature of fashion almost guarantees that one
day we will once again be "in".

ere and there, my
Cubase/Paris hybrid is exactly what I hoped Paris would eventually become.
Just because Paris stopped doesn't mean we did. I think it's fun to put this
stuff together and see what it can achieve.

Sorry, I haven't had time to run these tests... I haven't
forgotten about you! It is a zoo at the office right now...
as soon as time permits, I will do the tests and forward the
results.

them for a set of 15' Apogee s/pdif and it is fine. On the other hand, the
Hosa 3' s/pdif cables worked fine in a different situation.
