the finest beer in the world.

I also like Heiny, Becks, St Pauli Girl and at the right time of year there
is a Carlsberg - I think it's called Elephant - that is very, very, very
strong, and especially good if you like falling down a lot.

As for American beers, I just don't like 'em, but if i had to pick one it
would be Miller. I tend to prefer sweeter beers.

A good Norwegian beer is Ringnes, but i doubt you will find that down under.

Another interesting dutch beer is Orangeboom, but it's gotta be fresh. Same
for all of them I guess.

The only dark I ever liked is Newcastle Brown. You can surely find that in
Oz.

Skol!

I'm not quite sureI understand what settings would make Paris fly but create
too much heat. what would be the fastest possible Paris settings? My ED
cards are all exposed to the open air in a machine room with a big fan
blowing air over them. Unless the heat is sufficient to actually melt the
card in the PCI slot, I doubt it would be an issue for me since there is no
case. In the attached picture, the EDS cards are on the very top.

Dear DJ,
Nice thought I never thought of taking apart a case...

The magicnumbers are
EDSTransfer 8,16

The first number makes Paris run fast enouph to have a 0 latency senderella
working and the second number ensures that the disk steraming can work reliable
as opposed to havinga transfer of 8,8

I choose Polesoft Lockspam to fight spam, and you?
http://www.polesoft.com/refer.htmlI have a ProTools 002R and an MBox I use on a PC laptop
for small overdub sessions in non-studio situations. It
is real easy to consolidate the tracks and dump them in
a folder on the firewire drive for an easy import into
Paris. The bonus for me is that I end up in a lot of
ProTools studios for tracking dates, and it has gotten
me a lot more fluid on PT for these dates.
