Have you ever been to PARIS? PARIS Pro, the 24-bit digital audio workstation from Emu/Ensoniq provides all of the hardware and software you need to record, edit and mix digital audio professionally. Together with a 16 channel control surface, 128-track playback, 64 bands of parametric EQ and a host of I/O options, PARIS Pro gives you "the most complete integrated digital audio solution on the market today at an affordable price." We have been aware of PARIS for sometime, but until recently have considered it out of place with the majority of the market due to cost vs. performance. Not that PARIS has ever fallen short in performance. In fact many argue that this system is the sweetest sounding solution available. But in the past confusing pricing and configurations made it hard to justify. Now that there are so very many audio solutions in the Mac PCI card market, it's easy to place PARIS in a category that fits. PARIS lives well in between the "almost there" entry-level solutions and the high end pro systems. Home and ametuer studio users can take a major leap forward in a turnkey system -- Pro users can have the high end features they demand and save about $10k over the "Industry Standard." The Software: The PARIS Pro software gives you control by seamlessly integrating digital audio editing and mixing, signal routing, and effect processing into a single intuitive environment. An inviting graphic user interface lets you ". . .do everything from recording your first track to mastering a complex final mix with integrated studio effects and automation." With PARIS Pro recording, arranging, and mixing are ". . . logical, intuitive, and lightning-fast (just what you would expect from award-winning Intelligent Devices who brought both their very substantial Digital Audio Workstation design experience and some remarkable new ideas to the PARIS Pro project.)" "The interface is designed to be ready to work for you right out of the box, but it is also fully customizable! You control what appears on your screen. You can add EQs, move modules to the positions where you want them, and even decide how much detail is displayed in the mixer components (from full on-screen emulation of the physical controls to data-only displays for maximum density)."
