Just wanted to say thanks

I was a Creamware user for just a short time but quickly evolved to a fairly large system. I have moved to a different hardware platform but I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed this group of people here and how much I appreciated the help provided by this community. Garyb and Ali have both been ...

I talked to Mobility Electronics about a 13 slot 64 bit Magma yesterday. You don't even want to know the projected MSRP.

Math theory seems simple, but Wolf and Ch. Steinberg have contradicting viewpoints.
We have no different viewpoints beside the nonsense, that pan law is the cause of difference between different mixing engines (i.e. - 3dB panlaw just removes the need to readjust the volume while panning left/right ...

Hey DJ, yes I have mixed on a Paris system, since 2001. You might remember me as Jesse Skeens from the NG.

I purchased a small Paris system a year ago after having sold all my stuff previously. This time I did many tests to try and figure out what was special about it. And contrary to what many on ...

Hi,
imho, floatingpoint summing is nice as long as singal scales are almost identical.
(For 32 bit floatingpint signals, you have a audiosignal -24 bit and a scale - 8bit)
If you are summing floating-signals with different scales (loud and quiet signals), fixed point seems to be better.

yes it's true.
measurable data would be hard to come by. for some people it wouldn't matter. i know people who think that their $150 cassette 4 track machines sound pro.

OSX drivers would make OSX users happy for sure, but if you think that moving to OSX will prevent this in the long run you're kidding yourself.

In regards to the 'antipiracy' measures coming with Vista (as per the article above), you need to consider that it's more than just Microsoft/Vista ...

Having used Paris for the last 9 years, I should be used to this kind of "proprietary" quirkyness as relates to Windows. As a mattter of fact, Paris has some things about it that are equally as wierd (and wonderful) as Pulsar. Actually, the Win XP driver for Paris was created through a ...

Win XP and ME Pulsar driver limitations and discrepancies???

I'm running Win XP. When I doubleclick on any of my Pulsar cards in the Device Manager and then click on the "Settings" tab, the word length is fixed at 16 bit.. The 24 and 32 bit options are not available.

Another thing that Neil just pointed out to me is that if running Pulsar on Win ME, "all ...
