submixes from any one MEC. You could record
128 channels simpultaneously (I know this has been done at
least by two people that frequented this group) but it would
require 8 EDS cards and 8 MEC's each loaded with 16 channels
of expansion input.

>David.I sold my PT rig when I switched to Paris. I did it at the time primarily
for the sound of the Paris mix bus. This was before HD.
When HD was released, the distinction was far less obvious. HD still sounds
different from Paris but not awful anymore, just different. Paris still has
more of an analog/tape sound plus the added benefit of sounding more aggressive
when you push the gain stages.
So now the big question! Do I prefer the sound of Paris over other DAWS because
its actually makes better sounding recordings, or is it because it is closer
to the sound I associate with my favorite albums from the last 30 years?
I think the truth is closer to the second, and I think this is largely a
learned behavior, empirical rather than based on any truth.
In a recent session at another producer's studio (who will remain unnamed),
I listened to some pop-rock mixes done on a Paris rig. The sound was big
and clear and sounded very tape-like. Overall it sounded quite good and not
at all wimpy. The artist however hated the sound. He played us a number of
recent albums known to have been recorded in PT or similar sounding DAWS
as examples of what he wanted. This is the sound he knows an
