- This is a good time to lay in Markers to define song sections - but note that the [[WindowMarker Marker window]] should not be left open during regular operations as this has been [[ParisNoNos asserted to cause crashes]]. Get in the habit of closing it after marker operations.>>If your session expands to more tracks than you have cards for, use [[SubmixVirtual Virtual Submixes]] to create new submixes of 16 as needed.>>

- Bounce down to stereo pair of PAF files using NoLimit on the EDS inserts. If Paris is set at 24 bit on the Paris window it'll create a 24bit wav.>>EDS plugins like NoLimit can be very handy across the mix bus. To get Native effects on global, mix your song to a stereo file then import that and bounce again using native inserts like Waves Ultramaximizer.>>

**Add Real Drums**
>>Sometimes what feels/sounds right isn't exactly ontime here. That's a good thing! Turn off click, then retrack the lead instruments and extra percussion using the new drums with the click OFF.>>- Real Drums: Then track the real drums. Cutting and pasting until it is pretty much ontime.
- Vox: Last I do the vox. Groove doesn't mean ontime. It means playing behind or in front of the beat. I like my drum beat to be ontime, but the fills to be loose.
