1. Download masm32 (http://www.masm32.com/) and install it (after it
installs, it brings up a command prompt window, just close it. Do NOT have
it perform any of those functions.)
2. Copy the Nuendo3.exe to another location for backup purposes
3. Place another copy of Nuendo3.exe (or whichever sequencer you use) in the
C:\masm32\bin directory
4. Open up your command prompt and type "cd c:\masm32\bin"
5. Type "editbin /largeaddressaware Nuendo3.exe"
6. Move the copy of the Nuendo3.exe file you just modified back to the
regular Nuendo directory
7. Open your boot.ini file (located in C: - you may have to open any folder
and go Tools->Folder Options->View->Select Show Hidden Files and Folders and
UNcheck the "Hide protected operating system files" to see this file)
8. Add "/3GB" after "multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS..." so it
should look like similar to
"multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP
Professional" /3GB /fastdetect...."

Outlook.pst is the file that contains your in and out box plus other settings.
Outlook will generally try to repair the file after you reopen but sometimes
you need to use a third-party utility to do the repair.You do it in Freeform mode with Looping ON and PUNCH IN OFF. Set your
loop wider than the desired area so you have a lead in and out.

isk for backing up.

Formatted it, partitioned it, cool.

I had other computer issues, and had to restore the system to
an older configuration. Computer works fine (aside from idling
at 50%), but the disk is not recognized. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling
drivers. It simply will not format. I have
tried to format it from every path I know of- control panel,
my computer, etc., but NOOOOOOO, the same error every time:
"Windows could not complete the format". No details, no help.
I have tried both "qick formatting", and the long way.

Any ideas welcome. I hate the fact the I spent the money on a
solid back-up, and I can't usde it.

Thanks!!!

ChrisI mean "use" it.

There was a time when I didn't have one and didn't think I'd ever use one.
Then I got one, and I wondered why it took me so long! I spend a fair
amount of time at work, and my commute is typically 35-40 minutes. Having
the cell phone let me have more time talking to my wife, and it has really
helped when it comes to changing plans, running errands, etc. My
sister-in-law and I drove from Santa Barbara to Tucson, and we got separated
in highway construction - I don't know how we would have found each other
again without the phones!

k Tracy two way wrist TV that I've ever seen! Phone,
Palm Pilot, web surfing, camera, mp3 player and more. I put in a 1 GB SD
card and I can store 13,000+ (640x480) pictures, or eight and a half hours
of (320x240) video, a bunch of MP3 files, or a combination. I got a
bluetooth earpiece and a GPS unit. (Sits on the car dash and communicates
with the Treo via bluetooth.) I'm with Sprint PCS - I was going to go with
Verizon because they're supposed to have more coverage, but they charge Treo
users regular minutes for any web surfing...

-Doug

http://www.parisfaqs.comOkay here's my take :)

First, that summing CD did not tell me diddly-sqat.During that time, I was
activly using DP, Logic, Nuendo, PT, and Paris. To say that you can't "hear"
much difference really speaks volumes.

It's a known fact that "software" does have a sound. Why do folks take offense
becuase someones says something they percieve to a negative, is not, but
only a perspective on sound.

And, yes, the true test of any of these DAWs is it's summing.
Note: DP with Motu hardware renders Top-off the line results, no matter the
tracks count. Something magical is happening when DP is used with it's own
manufatures audio units.

Now, run DP, and use a RME interface.The sound is bland, very vanilla, gerneric.
We don't know why, but this is just the case in our informal real world ,
real project applications.

Now, Thad,I'll be happy to ship/FTP you a project(50-24bit wav files) on
/DVD for you to mix or just bring up with out mixing in SX. .Then, I want
you bring those same files into Paris, or PT HD/LE..Then, if you will, report
your auditory findings..:)

Dedric, I think you think that I'm saying that one app is superior to another..Rather,
I'm saying "in different kinds of music genres, one app suites the music
more than others. Not, saying that you can't acheive great results from any
DAW, but rather, some forms of music is easier to "MIX" in than others..
That's all I'm saying. FOr example. To me, I would not use Paris for "critical
film scoring" work. To me, Nuendo/SX sound quality, with it's wide, spacious,
audio quality is just the right audio foot print for the project.
Pro-Tools could be next and so could DP/Motus interfaces..But, the Paris
sound, would be too "colored" where you need the spearation, wide deep sound
to hear evey element of a score. also, commerical work as well..

But, Paris would and is atop of my DAW food chain for mixing ROCK, HIP/HOP,
R&B, Gospel. Paris's Agressive crunch and it's colored sound when pushed
is alone in this dept followed by PT/with apogees Rosettas /AD/DA16x..
Again, this is my world real world findings, not some internet forum talk..

Sure, give me my MPC-2000& vs2480, and I'll get killer results everytime
that folks swear I used a DAW on.

in
specific situations, and how accurate that is - the ongoing DAW debate is
really about what is the "standard" or reference method. So far there isn't
one that anyone can agree on: float vs. fixed, DSD vs. PCM, etc, etc. For
example:

What Lynn Fuston's DAWSUM sampler shows is that actual summing of 24-bit
audio files (the act of adding at a given level) is identical in most DAWs
that have a known, invariant, direct path. This doesn't mean 32-bit float
and 48-bit fixed are identical in all mathematical uses, just that 22-24
bits of dyamic range, added together, are. Any difference between DAWs in
this test would indicate an error in pass through capability. The lowest
levels are where the bit depth differences occur - with 24-bit files in
unity gain summing, there will nothing to use beyond a 24-bit dynamic range.
At one time I found Paris was boosting gain exponentially as you go down. I
don't have Paris to confirm or recreate this (Sakis thinks we resolved that
issue, but I don't ever recall doing so).

**Also, interestingly, from Lynn's CD, Nuendo, Fairlight, Pyramix,
Samplitude and PTHD mixes cancel completely through -144dB, although with
very very small correlation differences between each (i.e. not one in
particular - this could be a slight variance in phase alignment in the
test), but Paris doesn't cancel with either - it exhibits differences as
high as -82dB. I first thought the Paris mix sounded wider, but when
comparing to Nuendo, and PTHD, the center of the mix sounded lower in
volume, making the edges sound wider - with a very slight bit of phase
oddity. The center of Nuendo sounded more defined, just as wide, just not
as loud on the edges. Paris almost sucked the center very slightly to my
ears, where Nuendo and PTHD pushed it a bit more. All of this can be
subjective, and on different monitors, the results could vary.

That's my take on it in more than a nutshell, and with more detail and
comparative listening than forum talk.

Dedric

DeejNo, in fact while your putting together the rig I'd leave the config file
alone completely opting for stock. Once you have it all working, then you
can look at tweaks but you'll not ever need the house sync line unless you
are using an external word clock.

I hope we can get some good show reports from Dave and others!

JamesHey Jamie,

That makes more sense - I couldn't see how Logic would have made it to 7
without sample accurate audio.

I can't speak for anything beyond 5.5, so take my comment with a grain of
salt. Logic may in reality have most every editing feature Nuendo has, but
to me, audio seemed easier in Nuendo after switching - that could be nothing
more than subjective psychovisuals, but tools, visuals that contribute to
how quickly I can analyze and edit an audio track, and at the time, much
better crossfade editing options (5.5 was a bit limited there). Handling
audio as events or clips, time warp, etc. are also nice features.

Probably the big missing feature (or so I hear - again, correct if wrong
here), is plugin delay compensation on busses.

That said, there are some cool aspects to Logic that Nuendo doesn't have:
1 - more powerful midi (but to be fair, I haven't found anything I couldn't
do in Nuendo, other than a complement to Logic's environment).
2 - dynamic processing allocation - not an official feature that I know of
but one users have been asking for in Nuendo. The beauty here - start a
song loaded with plugins and it doesn't max out the cpu until it reaches the
point in the song it has to load that one last plugin - nice. Nuendo will
sit there and stutter painfully until you can get a stop key through it's
overloaded brain. The advantage of static (Nuendo) is reverb/delay
processing - it continues after playback is stopped (used to be a problem
with Logic, requiring dummy audio clips, but I'm sure that's fixed by now).
3 - Add audio tracks without affecting playback (Nuendo/SX have to mute
playback while adding tracks, but that is probably a necessary tradeoff of
full PDC).

I wouldn't say Logic is inadequate for audio, just a different approach,
with its' own strengths and weaknesses like any other DAW. As long as I
have full PDC I would be happy to mix a record on Logic.

Regards,
Dedric

Wow 26 channels of really shitty I/O. Well hopefully it will be a little
bit better than the current Sapphire. That thing is a piece of shit.

Leave to Tascam/Giga to answer customers requests for Giga being a VST
even slower than Emagic improves Logic. People have been asking about
getting logically a VSTi version of Giga sense the beginning. Of course
Nemesys claimed that VST wasn't powerful enough to handle it. Ha
Well at least it will easy to sell and use now. And the Mac guys will
have it easier now.

Here is similar product that Synthax (the folks who distribute RME in
US) called Tronical. Not sure of the price I'm pretty sure that it is
lower priced than this.

Anyone who remembers Logic from version 5.x on Wi95 or OS9 would
probably be glad to see the improvements made since then. Onward and upward.

BTW, Logic 7.2 will run on Intel OSX next month, so they say. $50 upgrade.

What do you think of the mic pres?

Could be luck of the draw. Mine plays great. As far as the sound goes,
be sure to play with the mic placement control on each model to fine
tune the sound.
