could move on to figuring out how to get coconut shells and hemp twine to
carry a hot enough signal to record. There's way too much in the way of
petrochemicals in what we do. I want to build an organic studio.

Even Bohnam's drums sound better earlier in my opinion.
Of course, it all depends on the material

Or make sure the room mics are at least 3x the distance from the
snare than the distance from the snare to each overhead. I like
the multiple of 3 exactly, in fact; and if the room is large
enough, try to have at least 2x the OH distance behind the room
mics before you hit the wall behind the room mics (usually not a
problem unless you're in tight quarters). Don't ever stick your
room mics practically right up against (or even merely a couple
of feet away from) the wall opposite the front of the kit - that
just gives you too many strong reflections in the rear portion
of the mic's pattern. If you can manage this kind of
configuration in whatever space you've got to work with, adding
some room mic signal to the mix shouldn't make things sound any
less "tight", they'll just contribute some ambience without
phasing or comb-filtering issu

But then you probably all knew that. Sorry if I'm spewing
redundancy, but I figgered I'd mention it, just in case someone
might not be aware.
NeilDJ, are these the songs I heard?

Hey TC, I am brand new to the forum but I believe I was the first in Wisconsin
to purchase Paris. These plugins you are refering to, are they for the Paris

em to
www.greatidea.com/webnews/ .
* These drivers are being provided by a group of PARIS users. You must
agree that you will NEVER, EVER contact EMU-Ensoniq for support on these
drivers. If they don't work there is no option other than posting your problem
to www.greatidea.com/webnews/
* These drivers are being provided by a group of PARIS users. You must
agree NEVER, EVER to contact Intelligent Devices for support on these drivers.
If they don't work there is no option other than posting your problem to
www.greatidea.com/webnews/
* BE AWARE that if you begin experiencing problems with PARIS after installing
these drivers and do contact EMU or ID they will disavow support because
you are now running PARIS on an unsupported operating system. There is no
option other than posting your problem to www.greatidea.com/webnews/
* BE AWARE that even if you do post a problem to www.greatidea.com/webnews/
there is absolutely no Guarantee that we can provide a remedy.
With all that in mind (and I don't mean to scare you!), if you want to proceed
here are the steps you'll need to take:
1. Decide which version of XP to use: XP Home is the best value and can be
purchased as an upgrade from Win9X for under $100.
SUMMARY: USE XP HOME XP VERSION, BUT DO A FRESH INSTALL!
There are two possible reasons why you would choose XP Professional.
* If you need multi processor (multi CPU) support
* if you need or want your XP box to be able to join a Windows 2000 or
NT domain
Since most of us don't require these features, the value choice is pretty
clear to me, choose XP Home. It's most definitely not "crippleware" as suggested
on some sites.
2. Decide which Disk Format to use for our disks: Here you have a choice
between NTFS and FAT32.
SUMMARY : System Drive NTFS, Audio Drives FAT32
Here's what NTFS has to offer.
* File Security: Access rights can be assigned to files and directories,
allowing users full access, partial access or no access at all to data on
the hard disk. I doubt you would need this.
* Encryption: NTFS can automatically encrypt and decrypt file data as
it is read and written to the disk. It's doubtful that anyone running PARIS
would need this, and the performance hit is huge.
* Disk compression: File and directory compression can be performed
without using any third party software, which saves space, while still allowing
for transparent access and operation to the user. Theoretically you could
format one of your volumes as NTFS, enable compression and store backups
in compressed format. Personal experience leads me to believe that the .paf
and .wav formats do not compress by a high enough factor to make this worthwhile
* Support for large hard disks: We're talking very large. Try a theoretical
limit of 16 Exabytes, and up to 2 Terabytes.
As we don't really need these features the choice to run FAT32 on audio volumes
seems like a good one. On the system drive it's probably a good idea to
run NTFS because the XP installer doesn't support FAT32 drive volumes greater
than 32GB. Drives added after the initial install (like our audio drive)
can be formatted to any size.
3. Optimizing your XP install: There are tons of great resources out there.
One I like is http://www.tweakxp.com/tweakxp/performance_tweaks.asp. Keep
in mind that for most people XP and PARIS will work well right out of the
box. There's no need to go for the jugular when tweaking your machine.
In general I would recommend that you simply work with your system for a
while and figure out if it meets your needs in a stock configuration. I'm
a big fan of KISS (Keep it simple), and hardcore tweaking can make things
harder to debug later
SUMMARY: Try the system out before you tweak. If it works for you, leave
it alone :-)
4. Install the PARIS XP drivers: Download the PARIS BETA 3 Driver It's a
really good idea to print out the install directions and follow them exactly,
crossing off each step as you complete it. Many problems reported by users
come from improper driver installation.
SUMMARY: Follow the driver installation directions!
5. PARIS Pro 3.0 users: If you plan on installing Paris 3.0, you will need
to update the PACE InterLok drivers before installing the Paris 3.0 software.
The latest version of these drivers is available on the Internet at:
http://www.paceap.com/dldrvr.html Do not install PARIS 3.0 before you update
the PACE DRIVERS!!!.
SUMMARY: Update PACE Drivers before you install the PARIS 3.0 application!
6. Install the PARIS application: When you install the PARIS application

ially if you are changing the location, or
are installing an older version of PARIS. You'll need this info for the
next step.
SUMMARY: Know thy path and write it down.
7. Install the PARIS XP Effects Subsystem: This one is fairly straightforward.
Download the installer and run it. The installer suggests an installation
path for PARIS 3.0. If you are running an older version of PARIS, or have
installed PARIS to an alternate directory then you will need to enter the
correct path. Here's the rub - if you get this path wrong it's just not
going to work. The best strategy is to know exactly where the PARIS executable
is, and to get the path right :-) This version of the subsystem is 1.05
(minimum version). Check the myparispro.com site from time to time to ensure
that you always have the latest subsystem.
SUMMARY: Know the path to the PARIS executable on your system before you
install the subsystem!
8. The moment of truth - Starting the PARIS app: For the vast majority of
people this is just going to work. For those with Matrox Video Cards (especially
multi head) there may be problems. Don't worry - there are solutions :-)
The single biggest problem reported by users is ERROR 7/7. This means that
the hardware is not functioning correctly, even though XP shows it as "functioning
correctly.
The primary cause of ERROR 7/7 is the PARIS card sharing an interrupt with
a video card. Use The System Information tool located on Accessories/ System
Tools/ System information and determine if your PARIS cards are sharing IRQs
with a video card. If this is the case, and you are getting an Error 7/7
on launch you will need to rectify this. This is done through resource allocation
in the BIOS of your PC. There are far too many BIOS variations for me to
offer specifics on this, so if you don't know how to do it post your questions
to www.greatidea.com/webnews/ with your specific motherboard and somebody
with a similar config can probably help you.
9. New Effects: I get a lot of questions about running my new effects under
PARIS XP. If you followed all the instructions and have the latest PARIS
XP Effects Subsystem then all the new effects. I don't recommend running
the "simple" example plug-ins under any version of Windows and have actually
removed them from the site.
10. New Stuff In the subsystem: The new effects subsystem adds some plug-ins
to your system. The plug-ins it adds are intended to support other new plug-ins
in the future. There's nothing stopping you from using the mono and stereo
high res meters that are included with the subsystem, or from using the two
wires plugs. I'm not going to talk a lot about these plugs other than to
say that neither the meters nor wires is "finished". They include only enough
to act as building blocks for other plugs I will be releasing later.Anyone using this?

uch improved Rig Kontrol. But one of
the main things that attracted me was the new "Loop Station". I already have
a POD but I'm not that into it's sounds when it comes to recording.
I agree, that for live use it's a bit of a drag to rely on a laptop 100%.
How do the GNX4 amp models sound compared to Guitar Rig II?
