I have a 2 EDS card Paris System and a Mec. with no extra cards in it
running on a Macintosh
I would like to know if it is possible to route Channel one to the Digital
out
and send it to my other computer, process it and send back to the Digital
in and route it back into channel one

if not how do I get any channel routed to an external device and back into
PARIS

Thanks

CliffordYes, all Digi and M-Audio products can be used in vst applictions.

>>Hey DJ(and family)!!
Happy New Year as well...

My findings are real world mixing situations. I'm not saying that you can't
get a great mix on SX/Nuendo, rather, it's just a lot of massaging here and
there. thus making the mixing experience painful. Unlike our beloved Paris
and Pro-Tools where just bringing up the faders and paning sounds like a
prety good mix. That's all :)

When Digi purchased M-Audio, that was monumental. They covered evry base
with that purchase. They can play in the SX, Logic, Sonar world and still
enabling the M-audio customer access to Pro-Tools LE (M-Powered)..
Take care,
LaMont

your Paris SPDIF out with a short cable. Go back to the Patch Bay.

In the Patch Bay, connect the "Mixer Insert" SEND of the source channel
for the bounce to the left SPDIF output (dL) on your 442 or MEC. Connect
the SPDIF left input (dL) back to the same channel's "Mixer Insert"
Return to complete the loop. Now connect the same left SPDIF output to
the "Submixer Input" of the Destination channel you want to
bounce/record to. Select "External" on the EDS insert on the source channel.

Enable Record on the Destination channel. That's it. Record away. You
can use your mixer normally while you bounce with no ill effect. And in
a case of good fortune, since the EDS inserts are after the native
inserts, any active plugins will be printed while bouncing. Great for
rendering AutoTune or various other plugin settings for different song
sections. For the price of time and disk space, you have unlimited plugins.

Example. You have a track on track 10 and you want to render this to
track 11. In the Patchbay:
Mixer-A channel 11 connects to MEC-Master-A Digital In Left
MEC-Master-A Digital In Left connects to Mixer-A-Insert Return10
MEC-Master-A Digital Out Left connects to Mixer-A-Insert Send10
Select "External" on the EDS insert on the source channel.

to double blind me I don't think I could pick out individual mixes consistently.
Since that was (if I recall) a 24 track mix that was big and loud and R&B/rock/gospel
I would think that would argue against this idea. However, it's a little
like the audiophile world sometimes where when the tests seem to disprove
personal experience the test is faulted instead of the experience. That's
fine, ears are very fine instruments and some are just better than others.


That said, I now work a good bit of my time in the finance world where fortunes
are made and lost according to the certitude of people in their experiences
or mathmatical models. Over time this has lead me to believe more in emperical
results than my experience. So if I do my own blind tests with the Nashville
CD and can't generate statistically significant data that DAWs sound different
then *I* will believe they sound the same. This could mean a flawed test
or flawed ears but that's my belief until someone can present me with more
convincing data.

But hey, that's just me. I've also done mixes of 30+ track

the summing CD I accurately picked the Paris mix, first listen. I was
surprised by this. Then,while later I got a friend to shuffle them around
and did another listening and I could discern differences, but couldn't
really say that one sounded so much better than the others. The AD

My point was not to slam SX/Nuendo,but to say that:

-Pro Toools Sounds good if not great.
-(To Me) I have to work harder to get good mixes out of SX/Nuendo. The mixes
end up sound ing great, but the work involved is not as easy(To me) get maximum
results.
Take care

>>So I got the two cards hooked up (I don't necessarily need 32 channels, but
want extra FX resources) and I want to load FX up on the global inserts
(card A) and record on card B (with various compressors, FX, etc. and lots
of resource room.) I understand the global FX are assigned to card A, but
then I can't record to card B (sumbix 2 where my per channel compression
is.) If I assign the submix to different cards, it doesn't matter because
now submix two is card A and there are no resources left for the global
inserts. Of course, now submix one has all kinds of resources, but I can't
record to it. Is this a Catch-22? Am I just an idiot? (ok, don't answer
that!)

Do you have to be happy with the resources on the card you are recording
with (both mixer and global inserts) as there is no sharing of resources?

Thanks

KentIt's not just a control surface...it's also got (unnecessary for me)
preamps. I've been considering moving on from my Houston controller to
something a bit more functional, but I don't need the preamps. For $1200.00,
this looks like a lot more in the way of a controller...

Attack=1.5ms Release=150ms. Knee behaviour MUST be operated by the EQ
(max 2 Bands) forcing the compressor to behave in "vintage" mode.You
just have to figure out the ratio and the frequencies in the EQ.

The compressors behaviour WILL get it's character form the Eq curves.You need 1 mec per submix, otherwise you have to swap them around for
recording. Also use Virtual submixes if you need to playback more
submixes than you have EDS cards.


Throw that MEC around. This is a REALLY QUICK way to throw your MEC and
Patchbay from submix to submix. With practice you can do it in less
than 10 seconds. Need 16 more tracks? Throw that MEC around.

How to move your MEC from submix to submix for a 2 card system.
------------------------------------------------------------ ----------------------------------
In this example, the MEC is tied to EDS card 1 and is assigned to submix
1 with EDS card 2 assigned to submix 2.

Open Master Mixer.
Assign submix 1 card A to virtual ***. This disconnects EDS card 1 from
submix 1
Assign submix 2 card B to card A. This assigns the MEC and EDS card 1
to submix 2.
Assign submix 1 to card B.

This allows 1 to be fully functional and tied to EDS card 2. Make sure
to turn CARD back on from Virtual.

To revert to the default setup.
Assign submix 1 card B to virtual ***. This disconnects EDS card 2 from
submix 1
Assign submix 2 card A to card B. This assigns the MEC and EDS card 2
to submix 2.
Assign submix 1 to card A.

This puts submix 1 back on card A. Make sure to turn CARD back on from
Virtual.
