Can this be done?
SteveHey Kim, "the shaggy dog has leather ears". If I'm being to obscure, that's
code for "the deed is done"...which is code for...well you know what I mean.
Again, thanks for all of your assistance with "housing" the Newsgroup!!!!

I choose Polesoft Lockspam to fight spam, and you?
http://www.polesoft.com/refer.htmlMy 2c on this discussion, for what it's worth...
I'd like to think most people here are open to other DAWs. Paris has been
unsupported for several years. I'd like to think that most people still have
respect for Paris, and understand that there are still things it does well,
but are also things it's now behind on naturally.
This group, more than any other group, is always going to be the best place
to come to for anyone with a Paris related question, simply because of the
history of those the group has attracted, being Paris users. If you're looking
for info on Paris, no other group is going to be of more help.
But if I was to go all Nazi and implement some kind of blanket ban on posts
not related directly to Paris, this place would be awefully quiet and pretty
boring IMO, and no doubt die a slow death. The reality is there is less and
less to say about a system which has had no development for half a decade.
I'd like to think, as the group moves forward, there will be certain basic
things it will take with it.
(*) It will continue to be the best place for Paris info, even though the
actual user base is bound to deplete further. Not much can be done about
that. No other group is likely to become more useful for Paris info than
this one.
(*) It will become a place where people can openly discuss other systems.
Many other systems have their own forums, but often getting unbiased advice
in such places is difficult, as the forums can be full of fanbois. Here hopefully
people can get useful information, and everyone can appreciate that all systems
have their advantages and disadvantages, just like everyone here understands
that Paris has it's strong points, but that an outdated system doesn't suit
everyone. Already the system base of users here is diverse, and people respect
that different systems have their advantages. That is pretty rare on internet
forums.
(*)It will continue to be a place where Deej can tell stories about critters,
and ridiculous setups. ;o)
I imagine that, say a decade from now, or two, the number of "current" Paris
users will be very low. I'm hoping however that the forum can continue to
be an excellent forum for general music knowledge. I'm hoping that the isolation
offered by the fact that our newsgroup is available only on this one little
server, and pushes itself on the search engine only to Paris users, will
shelter us, as it seems to have so far, from the usual issues with trolls,
fanbois etc, where it can be hard to get an honest, unbiased, useful opinion
through the noise.
It is not dissimilar to issues I was recently discussing with one of the
organisers of my (ex?)favourite music festival. It was once popular for being
"dickhead free", but recently dickheads have arrived as it's reputation has
grown. To their credit, they are looking aat changing and reducing advertising
in order to ensure that the festival remains "the best kept secret" of intelligent
funlovers, instead of becoming full of typical drunken fools who throw bottles
in the crowd, and flares in the air which land on tents. They have strategies
in place to try and ensure that the festival remains better than most. Indeed
next year they are reducing crowd numbers.
It's my view that, while still centered around Paris, this group is a bit
of a gem in that it's got geniune intelligent people giving well thought
out and educated opinions on audio gear in general. Other forums do get this
at times, but I think what this group has is rare, and I don't think its
usefullness relates only to Paris.
In any case, like it or lump it, the consideration of upgrading to other
systems, or a hybrid system, is a very real consideration on the minds of
many current Paris users, so the experiences of others who are making such
a move is valuable info.
That's my 2c anyhow. ;o)

Thanks Tyrone.

Dude, I love that term. And your right. Look at all the hits made WAAAAYYY
before we even had computers, much less DAWs. It ain't as much about the
tools as it is about the capturing of the moment. How you do that is totally
personal and up to each of us. Sure, I can spank the daylights out a PT mix
in level with Paris, but then again Paris midi sucks. Use what floats it for
ya, I say. Use it how it floats it for ya. If it's good, everyone will know
it when they hear it, and the means doesn't matter. I still prefer Paris in
a big way, but I program midi/song structures elsewhere where the 'sound'
doesn't matter and dump to.

for the best way to do their thang with music, and share it.... guys and
gals that aren't swayed by popular opinion, unless it happens to be the same
thing that works for them sonically, or logistically, or ergonomically, or
whatever, and are willing to share, or learn. I say, bring it on. If PT is
working for you, and you can tell me how...I'll listen. Maybe it will make
me better.
