I just thought I'd share a small epiphony I had late last night when I couldn't
sleep. You've probably all had it already, but I thought I'd share just in
case.
I've been working on a mix, and I was lamenting the fact that in order to
pan my reverb returns in to 10 and 2, I have to use live mix mode and rout
the returns to ajacent chanels. This sucks because you can't record new
tracks without killing the reverb, etc, etc.
So, it dawned on me: why not use the patch bay to route the left reverb return
to both the right and left inputs of aux 1 and the right reverb return to
both the left and right inputs of aux 2 and then use the pan control to pan
them in.
Of course, it works!
PARIS rulez.
MikeAll i get is a blank screen in Win98 even with Chainer. Also in Wavelab
it doesn't show up either. crap crap crap Such a nice plug in and it
won't do 98 from according to their sys reqmnts.

Those dirty copycats! LOL; )Do you have the fxpansion DX Wrapper ver. 3.3? If so, try it to only find
Chainer and not the Steinberg\vstplugins map at all( Chainer must find all
the VST plugins in Steinberg\vstplugins map). I have only tested with WinXP
and Paris and it's working perfect there for me. I shall try a test later on
with WinME too, when I have time enough.

All devices and drivers are installed. I've still got to do a little
tweaking with the Steiny Houston controller. It's not talking to Cubase
properly yet, but all RME cards, UAD-1 cards and the Matrox cards are
working properly. The RME cards and ll of the UAD cards are in the Magma.
Matrox video cards are on IRQ 16, RME Cards are on IRQ 19, one of the UAD
1's in on IRQ 18 (not shared) and 3 x of the UAD-1 cards are on IRQ 17
sharing with the Marvell LAN controller. Hope this doesn't bite me, but I
can always disable it when using Cubase I guess. I only use LAN to transfer
files between computers prior to mixing anyway.
The Magma seems much friendlier working under ACPI than my old SBS
chassis..........guess that's why they're recommended.......eh? ;o)
System is running fast and smooth, UAD-1 plugs are authorized and working
and I haven't even gotten into the *in depth* tweaks yet where all
non-essential background services are turned off .
I just opened a 48 track Cubase project with 40 tracks of audio loaded.
Playing this back on my old AMD XP 3000 system on the ASUS A7V8X mobo
(333MHz bus speed) used to use up between 40 to 50% of my CPU cycles with
512k buffer settings and wouldn't even play back at 64k buffer settings. On
this new system, it hums along steadily at 12% at 512k buffers and plays
back at 64k buffer settings with between 30 and 35% CPU usage. That's
*significant* and is what I was looking for when I decided to build this
machine.
Once I get my Steiny controller working, I'm Ghosting this one.
So far so good.
;o)

base. It's set up as a remote ptransprt jhust fine. The
unit powers up and Windows says it's working, but I'm getting zilch as far
as control goes. I wonder if this is because it needs reinitialization.
I'm scrambling around here looking for my manual. I think the dogs ate it.

The price he quoted was a little prihibitive - something like $3000
for 100 Gigs or there about.
