to believe that the Democratic party has none, but it's either true, or
it's politics wherein any effort he might make is thwarted if possible and
no feedback is offered to help because he might get credit for it. Given the
attitude of the Bush haters, this wouldn't surprise me at all.

It's really nice to be able to just open up a UAD-1 plugin or insert an
external processor on a track and it is automatically compensated. That's
very cool. Also cool is being able to bus groups to compressors.
The thing is, I'm doing mostly acoustic/bluegrass projects and the overall
clarity of the mix is a *huge* deal here. Processing always reduces that, no
matter what. Even without using processing in SX, there is processing going
on in the lightpipe transfer and the more I work this way, the more I'm
noticing a cumulative hit. It might work fine for pop music...........not as
well for this.
I am very seriously considering cutting back on the SX machine and just
making it a sequencer/VSTi platform again and doing all of my mixing in
Paris. I'll probably keep the Multiface and unload one or both of the HDSP
9652's along with 3 x of my ADAT cards since I will be using Windows XP
again with Paris.
I haven't decided for sure yet. It's been fun playing around with this
monster rig, but the more I work this way, the more I ap

doesn't allow you to operate using Card B as the master output? I could have
sworn I have done this before. Maybe I'm getting senile or something. I'll
have to check when I get the time. I'm on my way out the door right now.
