I live in Paris, and have bought some of their software, and gone through training sessions on said software. It is clinically correct and powerful stuff, but of all the softs I have from them, the only one I use regularly is AudioSculpt. The problem from my point of view is that the immense microscopic search for detail and control is heavily compromised by a heavy handed work method. Used for analysis and patient sculpting, it fares well, but it kills spontaneity to a point where I am much more musically inspired by lesser quality, user friendly software. The building houses all of its labs and recording and research underground, and thus avoids a lot of problematical street noises. They have open door days once a year, and it's a gas to visit.
