JocH « Digi 003 Rack + Factory »
Published on 02/05/12 at 15:10I chose this card to upgrade my home studio since I had the first Mbox.
I use it mainly for the production muicale but also for sound design or mixing of Short Film and Tv Series
I use almost all connectivity since I use the 8 inputs and outputs to be able to pluger all my machines: reverbs, expanders ... The two headphone outputs are very useful when I Zik on a boss with my co-producer when my Nana snoozing
I also use the spdif to attack with a Tc Electronic Finalizer 96k.
All is running with a MacPro Quad Core 2.8 and 6GB of RAM on Protools 9. I do not move to the 10 (I boycott a little pompous philosophy of money Avid)
UTILIZATION
The drivers are stable on condition of course be up to date, all updates available on the Avid site according to your OS or your version of protools, check! The software I use most often is Protools. Sometimes I work on Live, soft on which I will hand me greatly. Can be recorded simultaneously with the 003 8 tracks, expandable to 16 with an external ADAT card.
With respect to latency, it is void if I go down Quazi has 128 buffer, something I find a shame but still good ...
GETTING STARTED
Easy installation! No need for manual except protools course! Needless to post questions every day, read the instructions it will not hurt already! The manual is clear and the book protools certif 101, 110, 201, 210 ... ect ect can you sooooo useful!
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for 8 years, I tested a lot of different machines through my taff and I do not think I will ever buy this today, I was at the time blocked by Protools LE compatibility issues / Digidesign. What I like: ease of use. What I like least: as soon as one looks for the little beast by putting a micro analysis, we realize that the two output channels are not the same color. Same result in headphone and we are lucky to have had a 600euros. I reassure the detractors, several friends have had the same problems with this model as well as 002! SCANDALOUS for the price of the beast!
