>I thought the VLZ pro pres were "OK" if you wen't out the insert. Something
in the rest of the board was making the low end sound bigger and adding what
sounded like an upper mid bump. My belief (I have no proof!) is that this
was being done vis phase tricks to make the board sound "bigger" and "clearer"
in music stores without showing up in their spec sheet. The borad was "flat"
- but it shure didn't sound flat. I imagine a mic with a lot of mids - like
a 57 - would suffer from this more than most mics.

As for the C1. I don't know if I got a bad one or not. On mine, when I
recorded an acoustic guitar, you could hear that the low mids were *much*
boomier that if I used my 4050 or my slightly moded c3000s. I found myself
using multiband compressors and scooping out the mids to try to deal with
the "splash" of low mid that woul pop out constantly.

What really bothers me about this is that most people will hear a bright
high end much more easily than a boomy mid range. So, if you aren't used
to listening for the mids, the mic sounds great - until you comapre it to
a mic with solid mids (or a recording done with one).

I'm glad yours is working out for you, though. It is certainly possible
that mine just sucked. There was a rumour that the first run of mics sounded
better than the later ones.

Cheers!

I don't think I'll need a deesser. Maybe I got a good C-3.

Knowing Mackie pres, I wouldn't think they'd be a great match with a SP =

I've been using it through the Precision 8. The Neve was a little too =

Maybe the pre is the clincher here? I haven't tried my Telefunken V-72 =

Hmmm? Can you say metal guitar?!?!

That's just me,

>Help! I got the dreaded error message that won't go away....

I am able to open up an earlier version of the project file (which doesn't
contain the last two hours of edits). I could just redo these edits, but
I'm afraid it may happen again.

I checked some old posts and saw one possible cause for the file overview
error could be duplicate filenames, and indeed I do have about a dozen, possibly
because for some reason I used several folders for the audio files, instead
of keeping all the audio files & project files in one folder.

My question is, should I rename/renumber these in the Finder (I'm on a Mac),
or is there a way to rename them within Paris? Will this then make them unrecognizable
by the project file?

Another possible solution posted was to throw away all the overview files--I
haven't yet tried this--could this result in disaster or tons of work to
get the project back to normal?

I guess that's more than one question--any advice on how to proceed would
be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Daleyup... I got in on the first run I believe, so that would fall in line.

>>aarons' post below is pretty much it. i haven't really used paris as
more than a mix bus for the past couple of years so i'm a bit rusty on
all the do's.

first you have to set in the eds (fx) section on the mixer to
external. then in your patchbay window connect the cable for each
channel in the mec modules to output signal to external mixers. i'm
sorry i don't remember the names of the modules but it is just a
matter of lining up the channels and connecting them.

again i apologize for the lack of clarity on this but my paris rig
isn't even hooked up at the present.

That's seems totally bizarre - I must try that sometime. When you record
audio tracks, do you record directly into Cubase using some other interface
or do you go via PARIS ?

I tried a couple of tests - firstly I extracted a track from CD (Crowded

Yep. The middle of the country be flat. Really flat.

It's kinda like Vegas, where you think that you can walk to Paris from
the Trop in something like 15 minutes because it doesn't look that
far, does it, dear?

37 hours later, when you've managed to make it to the Harley Cafe',
you realize that you need to drag your ass over to the monorail or
you're going to pass out somewhere before you hit Aladdin from the 112
degree heat.

pabWhen I moved out here from Nashville, I drove a moving truck all the way.
Not so bad out of Tennessee and Missouri, but then we hit Kansas.

Kansas is uphill all the way going west for anyone who's never driven that
stretch of I-70. To get near the speed limit (okay 15mph shy at 50), I had
to floor it and keep it there - it just poked along at 50, dead on, not a
wiggle, not a hint of 51 or 49. One stretch (between gas stops) was 4 hours
of nothing changing inside the truck or out. I almost thought of putting a
box on the accelerator and moving to the passenger seat to read a
book...just to be sure time hadn't stopped.

"There's no place like home. There's no place like home." Really? Was OZ
that bad?

>Deej, now you know precisely why I chose Kansas when I wrote the following a
few weeks back on the general "column."

==================================================
Provocative discussion on Cavuto today, FOXnews; neogtiating with OBL.
Several notions were batted around on both sides but one guy pretty much
spoke my mind when he asked "what kind of negotiation can be had where the
starting point is that each party knows the other party wants the other one
dead as soon as possible?"

After that segment, I started thinking of "Running Man" because that's what
OBL already is. I wondered what he might settle for if he knew the
handwriting is on the wall. If I were as sinister as the mindset in he
aforementioned movie, I think I'd have no problem with offering OBL the
following deal:

1. Turn yourself over to us.
2. We arrest you for one day at most in a nice federal safehouse.
3. We talk for several minutes about whatever you like.
4. We give you $100k in twenties and a $300 Haliburton brief case.
5. You get a couple of good meals and good night's rest.
6. You are released at 610 N Main Street in Russel, Kansas the next day at
9AM.
7. API gets the lowdown at 9:15 AM on our "deal" except that your location
is not announced.
9. Go wherever you like, stay as long there as you like.
10. Kansas is kinda big.
11. The tallest wheat is west of town.
12. The first bus comes at 10:02 AM.
13. Good luck.

DubyaAnd how is 70 anymore? The last time I traversed the country on 70 was
1990...R-coast to L-coast, stayed at Rod's place for a day in KC. I don't
know if they've spent any money on 70 since then but I'd say it was THE
WORST interstate ending in Zero we had at that time and had been that way
for 10 years.

I'll add this positive aspect of Kansas; I enjoyed EVERY firework display in
the state Colorado on the evening of July 4, 1990 and I saw all of them
from, you guessed it, Kansas. Somewhere in that same trip, I was almost
sucked of the raod by a Tornado that wiped out a good bit of Limon area, CO.

Dubya outOK,
I use Nuendo, but I'm assuming here that they work pretty much the same.
In the edit window, there is a longditudinal window with bars/beats or time
markers on top of that window.
When the mouse is on that window, (black?), the cursor changes to a
pen...left click and drag the pen to the length of the track you want to
mix...making sure the colour becomes blue, from left to right.
If it's red you need to move the pen the other way.
Very convoluted explanation, but experiment in that area and you'll see what
I mean

Perhaps it's because the terrain changes make it seem like you're actually
making some kind of progress rather than sitting in your car with the engine
running while moving backwards in time.

Cheers,
Stewart.I've heard that OZ is actually worse. If you're talking about crossing the
middle of Australia that is. 52 degrees (don't know what that is in
fahrenheit) and the occasional motel / petrol pump, and the likelhood of a
kangaroo jumping out in front of you and introducing your front suspension
to your firewall.

So I've heard anyway...

Kansas, now that sounds like fun. Or hey, Nevada, in a supercharged
Challenger. Just like in the movie, except without the cops and the dying
and the car exploding and stuff.

Stewart.

I had a feeling like I was struggling with some unknown force the whole
time..........and now I know what..........gravity!! It makes sense. Heading
west, you're definitely slowly climbing toward the foothills of the Rocky
Mountains..........soooo........I guess if I was seaded east, I could put
the car in neutral and just coast across Kansas?

>In Nebraska I-80 follows the Platte river valley, a long gentle descent
bringing Rocky Mountain runnoff to the Missouri river. The route is a
part of the Oregon trail. It became a logical place to put a relatively
safe, easy driving interstate. You could ALMOST drive it on auto-pilot
but there are a few curves here and there. :^)

Since many folks only experience Nebraska by driving through on I-80, a
common misconception is to equate Nebraska with that drive.

Nebraska has other terrain. For example, there are vast sandhill areas
in the west. In the North East you'll find hills left behind by
glaciation from the last ice age. The East has interesting river bluff
country along the Missouri river and its tributaries. Nebraska,
birthplace of Arbor Day, also has a large man-made national forest.

I like the open spaces in the West. We have some incredible areas. With
our demanding, busy lives it's often hard not to just blaze through them
with this or that destination in mind, but sometimes it's worth slowing
down and exploring along the way.

does have some interesting topology. I was just being facetious. It's an old
joke with my family how boring that I-80 drive is as we've made the trip a
hundred times.

You sound a little like Alice Cooper in Wayne's World, explaining the
history of Milwaukee!

Where is this dialogue window?
I am certain the Left and Right locators are set properly.
I selected the output bus "Stereo" in the export window.

Heh. Yeah, if Alice grew up in Nebraska. Sorry I went all pedantic on ya
Tony.

I've made the drive a zillion times, too. Did I mention the many clean
Nebraska rest stops, with maps, weather/road reports and abstract
sculpture displays. I, uh, oh, sorry. :^)

I've also spent a fair amount of time going to and from to New Mexico,
Arizona, Southern California, Northern California, Oregon and
Washington. Lots of great country along the way. I really like the drive
through Deej's four corners area. And the vast stretches of I-80 through
Utah and Nevada. Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, great country. And of course,
Colorado.

OK, now I'm itchin' for a road trip!

Cheers,
-Jamie

Definitely, dump norton first. You do not want two A/V's running at the =
same time.=20

Of my own personal machines, I use AVG free and of the half a dozen or =
so constantly connected to the net and running machines I have, how many =
viruses (including my personal 2003 MS server) have gotten through in =
the last 5+ years?=20

ZERO

Them's pretty good odds dude. AVG-Free has a nag message, but these are =
not corporate machines and I could care less that emails sent via =
outlook/outlook express have a "I use AVG" message at the bottom of =
them. It is otherwise completely non annoying.=20

My spyware is Windows Defender Beta II currently... again, no problems.=20
Zone Alarm has done what it's supposed to for years. I do not like the =
included window firewall, shut it off. Config ZA, don't just accept =
defaults. I also sit behind a hardware firewall/router. Anyone in their =
right mind that knows would, though.
For spam blocking, it's been a crap shoot, and no one has been 100% on =
that one. Can't recommend anything there as better than say 60% area. =
Outlook 2003 has some things built in, but nothing is perfect. Spam is =
definitely a layered defense item. Bug the heck out of your ISP/mail =
service to filter ahead for you. sign up for a hotmail account, and send =
any 'unknown' sign ups, internet stuff and otherwise guilty until proven =
innocent sources to that email address.=20

Never used Bit Defender, no opinions on it. Ditto on NOD32/ESET. Bottom =
line is AVG never ever let me down, nor a client's home machine, so I'm =
loathe to change a working plan of defense. I think Norton sucks, and I =
think McAfee sucks just slightly less, FWIW. Trend has been pretty =
strong from what I've seen in the corporate world. I use housecall to =
clear up messes NAI and Symantec left behind on infected machines, and =
this has been pretty consistent this entire year.=20

On another related topic that is for sure coming... boy, can I wait for =
the virus clowns to start attacking and infecting our phones and PDA's. =
As popular as the iPOD is, I'm just amazed some smart aleck kid in =
Taiwan hasn't found a way to infect it and pooch the library/licensing =
yet, either.=20
One thing at a time Aaron, one thing at a time.
