All user reviews for the Digidesign Digi 002 Rack

Everyone knows
config, Athlon XP3200 + 1gig of ram and 3 internal NTFS HD + Lacie 160G

UTILIZATION

Installation ok,
I find it odd qd even have to upgrade the firmware of the 002 power-up but good.
manual in English, Yeah ...
no printed manual pt

GETTING STARTED

S install the ASIO drivers with pt.
Pt does not turn direct the first crash for no reason of the launch, bp dma so that it no nya bp
I am back on it works, strange.
launch pt crying because I have a file name extension on some of my discs.
Not possible to open a file because that makes it 12 characters, necessarily
pt taken first, not view the map entry, direct monitoring in pt, not really practical, a red and green LED on each input n would not cost much more.
huge latency in normal mode, not envisegeable to an outlet like that.
low latency mode is ok but c c is painful to have to check every time, all of that if you bump with plug (compression, eq) ca is the big change in the level of the mix when making a decision.
j tries asio in cubase (pt must be closed if its not working)
Listen to a mordeaux, pb buffer, I have tried three values ​​and it still does not work, ca m angry.

OVERALL OPINION

It'll be three days I was wasting my time trying to do well with the asio.
Preamp and general cool
features mean and really bad when you work more on protools.
acceptable value for money

very disappointed to have to waste my time still a mess with stuff in the computer, hard, painful painful
Besides being able to advance the project of PT HD, I do not see the interest of this card compared to competitors who are smarter cheaper and more versatile.

>> Top
Frankly yes the card is expensive, but the connections more about the sound that was there was a lot of potatoes with DIGI

UTILIZATION

>> Top
Yes we must meet the specifications imposs, the correct version etc ...

GETTING STARTED

Top>>>
Yes it is going hungry in a same PC MUSCL APRS is Pro Tools HD for you.

OVERALL OPINION

The best sound card for the Home Studio.
The connection is more than enough and you can move from one table to mix well.
NightHawk say that c '"is a imbcile ....
Guard your card, yes it is delicious, yes I do more session and it is limited to the track but there are sound and Bomb Factory plug ben fortunately they are .....

This is a rack biensur no problem it is the same names!
FireWire connectivity
8 analog inputs, 8 analog outputs
4 XLR mic gainindividuel and filters, 48V phantom power
8 channels of ADAT optical I / O or 2 channels of S / PDIF I / O
Outputs 1 & 2 mirrored on 1 / 4 "TRS monitor output, RCA-based -10 dBV fixed output
MIDI I / O: 1 IN port, 2 OUT ports (16 channels IN/32 channels OUT)
24-bit/96 kHz A / D and D / A converters
Headphone output

UTILIZATION

The configuration of the rack is an absolute pleasure, very simple, purified max.
adjustments are made with natural instinct (no need to look for three hours a button inaccessible) I did not like me needed the manual to make my connection.

GETTING STARTED

The sounds emitted by this little jewel is really not bad, but I advise you to have to connect the physical effects hardware (mic preamp, expander ...) as soon as you start recording the voice, because this pro tools are how I feel.

OVERALL OPINION

I work with for 3 years, I was able to leave the finished product impeccable, I compose instrumentals and I prefer cubase to pro tools because I think there is a better understanding between the software and hardware (which makes sense for digidesign).
money no problem.
I buy it back with pleasure

It's going to level connections are a lot of stuff but less than the price concurence gal (no AES / EBU or BNC for clock). Satisfying all the same throughout.

UTILIZATION

Plutt as well on this point is very simple installation (no driver) and all software works well with.

GETTING STARTED

The use as same is simple and well thought. However, when used with Pro Tools (LE 6.4), it is not stable and often rev the computer loses the card, it is true that my computer is not powerful trs (mac 700 MHz) I do not know if it s a. .. Any fawn it is clear that it is better to have more power to use it if it's not the top. For latency there is nothing scandalous.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 1 year and I do not know if I do it again this choice. Rel is the only advantage that you can use Pro Tools (Digidesign thank you ...). but if not better go in RME or motu me, because for the same price it has more connectivity and better sound.
What is the biggest problem m'ammne the digi: the sound. the 4 pramps are shit and trs convertos ways ... even when hurt when dbourse over 1000 euros. the pramps are soft and unfit treat high frequencies. for converters, I find they tend to take life to the sound of dpart and miss a little wide at the bottom.
If you are not an absolute fan of Pro Tools is best to use DP or Logic etc. and do not buy this sound card, it was loud and clear.

I use the Digi002 rack for a year and a half I am to version 7
audio software is excellent and the version 7 is at a MIDI
the least, there are only 32 audio tracks (which may be enough for most)
to access to more tracks, tools kit (98 mono tracks)
quality price is ok!
I work with studios with ProTools TDM teams so it's convenient for me
and I am quite satisfied with the sav, I had a problem it was done in 4 days
this material suits me fait.je nine dishes because there are only 32 audio tracks.

OVERALL OPINION

N / A

Why is this rack?
When using Protools LE (7) for the FireWire interface, the srieux recognized the Digidesign hardware.
For what purpose?
computer music instrumentals with some hardware and a lot of plugins. Used in home studio.
What config?
See my profile, it's simpler.
Systm and instruments?
Windows XP Pro SP2 with Command8 surface of control and a pair of KRK RP5 in monitoring. TRS connectors (awaiting DI 8 channels) and ADAT I / O with another PC in sync.

For CHARACTERISTICS nothing wrong: it's srieux.

UTILIZATION

Installation very simple: my computer is 100% made up of components recommended by Digidesign.

No incompatibility.

Configuration gnrale breeze.

Comprehensive manual.

GETTING STARTED

The drivers are outstanding, clean and well done for, installs automatically with PT LE7.
The updates are not lgion but walking, I decide not to touch: when it's stable must have the rest.

LE7 used with PT, Live5 ...

Minimal latency (thank you also CPU and RAM!)
Even less lag when I reu the UAD-1, but for now ngligeable.

I record some audio simultann: catch bass, guitar and synths in one or two MIDI. The rest is a matter of plugins.

OVERALL OPINION

In an area of ​​complment CONTRL friendly (the Command8) is that of happiness.
The pack I t Consulta vigorously by a friend-ing sound. I do not regret it.
All this equipment is trssrieux.

What I like most:
- Simple Setup
- Imperceptible low latency and
- Trs pramplis correct (do not forget ID)
- Monitoring well done in combination with the C8
- Mute the auto ignition is an excellent ide
- The connector ADAT I / O is terribly practical optical
- The rack is solid and inspires confidence

What I like least:
- The weight
- The price (even if it is quite justified)
- The gray plastic on the faade that ESG for the rack
- Touch the knobs of gain (but hey, I do not spend my time playing with)

The report qualitprix is ​​really good if we Whereas the pack Digi002R Command8 + + PT-LE7. And reliable solution pro harbor home studio with possibilities really beautiful. This is an excellent production tool that must be tamed a bit. For those who find the pramplis of poor quality I recommend a DI systmatiquement on guitars, basses and synths. Far from being bad, they are not fantastic, but for the price, you should not expect the SPL.

With exprience ... Yes. I am still far from being an expert but I dj on the clock a few hundred hours on bte passes and still no worries.

Just a note not mchante: PT ahrit universe MAC disabilities. Mchant nothing, you just avoid your HD have names suprieurs 12 characters. Even if it works still with it better and quickly without a dialog breaks c **** at boot software.

In: 4 analog line / mic, 4 analog line without knob, 1 optical ADAT, a cinch / RCA SPDIF
Out: 8 analog line, 2 line analog knob with common (monitor), an analog line with ST knob (headphone), an optical ADAT, a cinch / RCA SPDIF

Is there a way to save a lot of tracks simultaneously FireWire is much instantly.

I use it for more than three years with a Mac (formerly a G4 733MHz, yes I know ... but now a Mac Intel Quad hh.

UTILIZATION

I have not had a problem, but one day with an update Systm (Mac OS X 10.4, by installing rsolu I do not know what combo). But I'm pretty tired my ears listen to complaints from a lot of people tearing their hair on ProTools (especially PC .. ct at the same time it's clever, it's PC .. haha: D).

ProTools is one of the strongest programs in the world, like all-the-world knows. I do not speak of incompatibility, it would be absurd.

GETTING STARTED

There are updates for ProTools rgulires when the DigiCore Audio prt I did not care. I do not know if I had bad luck with respect to dates particulire Specifies the Digidesign promotions, but in three years I had to pay two updates .. and gav me a little.

OVERALL OPINION

I never t of the DigiRack because he did what he asked and you know before you buy it you may request. But now I intend to leave the Systm Digidesign to turn to Apple (which, it must be said, has broken all records with the release of Logic Suite $ 500), I find myself facing a SERIES of indniables made. The conclusion is that Digidesign is much too expensive. While you pay the reputable certainly achte is a program that runs in the studio and is rput to function properly. But ProTools LE s'crase to Logic. ProTools LE does not compensate for the latency of the plug ins, ProTools LE asked to pay for every little misrable optional plug-ins included with the basic programs are mostly of poor quality .. and so on.

I do not regret my investment because it has served me well, but if I had rinvestir in this type of hardware .. it is clear that I would spend on a system "open" as Apple, with better quality hardware (converters and the pramp Digi002 not worth really not worth it ..) . Gender, for Hardware: RME HDSP FIREFACE 800.

Hello all, I acquired this sound card in 2005. It seemed to me to be the best solution for my case: j'tais above all a great passion for music, but wanted to become his Eng. What motivated me to buy ft first common use with Pro Tools since I was going to learn it, then the number of entries, which can record a complete battery you or the whole group of flies with four prampli SERIES! With its many connectors as used in the mid-pro (ADAT, SPDIF, MIDI ...), and its usefulness mobile.
My use was made in an environment amateur and semi-professional recording especially for models.
I am the branch of a Firewire external hard drive Maxtor 7200 rpm / min I also firewire connects my laptop. It's an ASUS Intel Core Duo with 2 GB of RAM running WinXP SP2.

UTILIZATION

Prcisment following the guide, the installation does not pose a problem. Some modifications are made to Systm and installation is done by pro tools.
However, I have to do the opration 2 times because I let myself be that proposed by windows to install the card itself, something that is not according to the manual, so no problem at the install!
According to the Digidesign website, my computer n'tait not be compatible with the meaning Digi002R because of its motherboard and hard drive not recognized by Digidesign (Maxtor)! I have not yet had a problem.
On configuring the card, everything is done by pro tools. Everything is configurable but the default custom settings are are good. The software is in English of the same as the instruction manual, but this dernire is available in French on the Digidesign website. All other books (plug-in software Retailer keyboard shortcuts ...) however, are in PDF format with the Pro Tools CD.
I also Discoveries by surprise that a lot of plug-ins come with pro tools (gualisation, compression, d-esser, limiter, rverbe, delay ...) and three other CDs containing version complte Reason, Ableton, and new plug-ins: AmpliTube LE, SampleTank SE and T-RackS EQ. I was able to install without problem set by AmpliTube that crashed for some reason to boot. But be all APRS internet to look for cl ACCS for each plug-ins, I could edit a text file to launch AmpliTube and since then more problem!

GETTING STARTED

The drivers are now stable: I have not had any bug even on 6 hours of continuous recording.
Note that even when I spent some time on the instruction manual pro tools, all is not instinctive, but when we do not know, it is essential to take note.
Concerning latency, for a buffer of maximum size, it is relatively low. A decision instrument can even be performed at this level! I let you imagine what a can be for a minimum buffer size!
Tration, one can read and record 32 tracks 16 tracks simultanment. But I have yet to test the recording tracks with as much, if not read with 16 tracks including plug-ins, automation, ... everything is fine. Note that there is a low latency monitoring mode for recording with no latency while having a maximum buffer size.

OVERALL OPINION

So After a few weeks of using it in spring. While I like this sound card! The possibilities are tural extension.
Note however that my c'tait Premire real sound card and that I am fully satisfied.
The report qualitprix, without being excellent, I think is correct.
I would add all of the same you can see for quite some time and many many complaints on the forum, which have many incompatibilities or bugs, I think I had some luck on this move but the Digidesign website is what we can say trs well done, with updates, supports, updates downloads, a forum, something to contact a service-APRS Fran sale, and most importantly, a complete list of incompatibilities with some software and other hardware. In addition, the digi002R markets since 2002 is, so they had time to make changes and updates interface, so that those sold today get a better stability .
I would do IMMEDIATE this choice because, above all, the quality and the experience digidesign is recognized worldwide, so why not for the home studio!
And you do not run especially without reading the manual and visit the Digidesign website!
Be careful, I was not looking at all the versatility, which can be a barrier for some, dsireux touching everything!

APRS and 3 years ...?
To date, following these few years of use, I am still satisfied. I have no problem adapting the evolution of my computer hardware, Pro Tools, the peripherals and had no trouble or crash compatibility (I recall that I'm on PC). She traveled: chang environment, temprature, excluding alas transport (even when in flight case!) And did not flinch as everything is new!

UTILIZATION

Easy installation
OS Compatibility Warning; HARDWARE ...

GETTING STARTED

Easy and fun

Are a lot of criticism about the quality and reliability of this map ... justified but circumvented:
-The quality of preamps: the "bypass" with an A / D converter => coax or optical input.
PT-lost connection with the card, the card "blocking" was the lighting: Known issue with digi: free repair by them of the firewire power supply.
-Stability and greed of the program: be sure of the compatibility of the config, with sufficient RAM, use 2 HD: 1 = system = 2 sessions, avoid cracked plugs; update PT.
PT is a program that was heavy enough to run, configure the machine as a dedicated PT (watch out for patches of various programs background)
Once stable there ... and it affects more bump.

OVERALL OPINION

It's a good card, but for the price: four converters good, it would not luxury, but once repaired the computer and correctly configured, it provides access to the program as enjoyable, the most stable (ca is debatable of course) and more intuitive in terms of recording, editing, mix ...

The three big negatives: preamp M ° ° °; NO CLOCK WORDCLOCK and Internal (A / N) Yeah.

The world is unfair ...: A very good to work with RME Fireface Cucubase or logic (really?)
Or Digi002 Bof bof ... to puff on the well thought Protools.

I would do if this choice?
A budget and even without considering PT, RME Fireface 800 far better
PS: changed on www.blacklionaudio.com

- What technical specifications motivated your choice?
First, the possibility of accder Pro Tools for the era not too expensive. Also, I left the studio, a studio with pro tools HD, has allowed myself to recuprer sessions and tweaking (provided you have at least Produstion Music Toolkit with 48 tracks instead of 32) . ngatif Petit point, moreover, Pro Tools LE, prompting the purchase of TRS addons not always cheap! Anyway, I find the quality of treatment of Pro Tools really excellent and I love level ergonomics is simple and mga really screwed. And then everyone said to me well then good, 18 tracks simultaneously has suited me. already made a good decision-Reserved for battery!

- For what purpose?
My use is Mobile Home Studio and Studio. Compositions and model home. Couraging demos, or pre prod prod album self for groups.

- What is your config (motherboard / CPU / Ram / Hard ,...)?
A PowerMac G5 DualCore 2ghz with 5GB of RAM, a hard 10000tr/min in Systm give in and 250GB. Mac OSX 10.4.11, 10.5 and ending for an external FireWire drive 800.

- Which instruments or Systmes (console, prampli, DTD ...) you use it and how connections? ...
In home studio I use it only for now, I seek my Systm boost preamp with ADAT see a console that would serve numrique 01V96 surface CONTRL, 12 channels of preamp (8 adat and 4 line via omni). Mobile studio I couple that belongs to a 01V96 friend with whom I work. Standard connectors, the standard studio cblage (multicore, XLR, Jack etc ...) The card connects via a single FireWire 400 cable.

I put 9 because of Pro Tools LE, not enough original track ...

UTILIZATION

- Installation is it without problem?
I read other reviews and I realize that I was lucky. In the era of purchase I had a good quip PC (a P4 2.8 Ghz Hyper Threading Northwood type with 1GB of RAM, a Raptor drive that I always 10000tr/min and motherboard After an Acer server pro, all under XP Pro SP1), it was not on the net, and never FireWire PCI card worked flawlessly and 20 fully compatible with the Digi002 (VIA chipset). But I understand other users. Without wanting to spit on the PC, I just find that PC world is so varied and complicated that it is sometimes difficult to have a system that works with any PC ... That's what that really DCID to turn to Mac, a system that clearly more stable and adapted computer music but certainly more expensive, it is a choice. In addition, also making graphics, c'tait the ideal solution.
On installing Mac, the too, for me not galre ... seconds by the clock (well I understand)

- Have you experienced any incompatibility?
None Mac, a PC either, as I say, I had to get lucky (in the end the guys and go You Save Mac has simplified the stuff lol)

- The configuration gnrale is easy?
Well, level configuration of the card, not much to do, just the size of buffers re calibrating based on usage, but the one is as in other Systm of this type. Not really saying anything, handling IMMEDIATE!

- The manual is clear and sufficient? ...
So in my version of 2004, the doc silent in English, fortunately, I liked the cole was then not even worry too much about the technical terms that are left when the same musical field which we are confronted constantly ds achte that a rack effect pedals for a scratch or a plug. The manual provided is clear on the installation and handling. For all the cons I have even used several resources: a well-known book on ProTools, a sound ingnieur (Serge Begnas (Khaled, Goldmann, Tripod, INDUST.) What a bully) and our beautiful community I love hello AFienne elsewhere.
A 10 because for it was a good exprience.

GETTING STARTED

- The drivers are stable?
The again, when you have a stable config PC or Mac is no problem. There was a concern with the water internal FireWire dcrochait often see that almost all the time, but this silent problem experienced by Digidesign, unfortunately they did not fix this problem fouls factory pr Frant send the buyer in a rparateur which passed the note as collateral. I find it plutt way from a big box as a! Once corrected the problem, the Systm is stable as it should, since a word, not a crash caused by the map in 3 years.

- Are they often put day?
On this point, I think they are updated with new versions of Pro Tools. When I got the card, there was a Firmware Update, since then, no news on this subject can be .. I will get information ...

- What software do you use most often?
Pro Tools 7.3.1 and plugs. Sometimes Logic ...

- What you get lag?
Almost zero depending on the setting of the buffer. Still not using external DSP for now I increase the buffer size to mix work and the publishing, history of being comfortable but trs trs little crash dua a lack of buffers and has been for the beginners?

- How many tracks you get record / playback simultanment? ...
Ben 32 without the Music Production Toolkit, with many plugs in the shafts including Waves and EZdrummer. Like any Systm of this type, it must be on a lot of ram to be comfortable, but I invent nothing l.

Then the level quality of the card, not n'tant ingnieur sound pro, I think she's done really well Taf, the sound is clean, dynamic and respect from the source.J 'I got really made trs "pro" with this card. Too bad there have only 4 preamps, but for me and my use they behave perfectly. Of course I heard the diffrence with a card FireFace RME is better but still perfectible even for someone who has no ear for platinum. Remember one thing is that this card is Designed for a system that even when Home Studio. For the pro, we change the range. It is true that for the price we would have AIM a little more about this card when same. And I want to believe that other brands are better.

OVERALL OPINION

It's been three years since I have this card. I like the ease of handling, its stability once the problem of water firewire corrected CHAC Pro Tools LE.
I regret the lack of preamp, 8 t would welcome. To follow what t says below, why not 8 and a better quality would be nice t from Digidesign.

Before I did not have a home studio computer, I used a tape recorder (we'll call me old-timer before the time!) I export in Cubase SX using the internal sound card of my PC to burn them. hh. So all of the same aa change my life, especially since I'm primarily a musician and dsireux to produce good quality recording trs close to the pro. This card gives me any satisfaction with my expectations. Qualities for me delete some default, but not all. As its price for example, in 1300 the new era, for four preamps. At that price it would have been the again esprer better on this point. Difficult therefore to give the report due 10/10 qualitprix.

In retrospect I think I redo the same choice. Now, if I get the uroccasion, I toffe this Systm with ADAT interface and a system that surface CONTRL (adat Preamp Mackie Onyx or RME-800R and Command8 or simply a 01V96 which gives the possibility of the 18 tracks thanks to the SPDIF) or pass a config carrment CT but we'll see if I become a world-famous rock star in my dpartement ...

I only use this interface with ProTools LE, simply because I prefer that program. I use it with my MacBook Pro and it works well. Since I mostly record with it at home it serves every purpose I've ever needed. If I need to use a lot of mics I prefer to go to a studio. I tend to stick to guitars and vocals, as well as rough demos for my band. For these ends, it's great. The interface isn't great but it works fine. It is capable of running up to 16 tracks simultaneously. There are four built-in preamps that are pretty solid.

UTILIZATION

This interface works pretty well. It's compatible with Pro Tools and it doesn't cause my computer any problems. Everything tends to be pretty stable. The only problem occurs with the Pro Tools software, not this interface. The manual is pretty easy to read, too, in case it's too confusing, though it shouldn't be.

GETTING STARTED

There haven't been any compatibility issues for me, but then again my setup for it isn't particularly exhaustive. I only have ProTools on my Mac. I can't speak to how well it works with a PC, but from what I hear, anything and everything is more difficult to use with a PC when you're dealing with ProTools, so I doubt this would be any different. Every function that the interface can handle is accessible and easy to use. They are also identified pretty easily, which is good for me since I use larger boards in a studio.

OVERALL OPINION

The sound of this interface is pretty good. It's not incredible, but not many of its kind are. The price of this interface is really fair and reasonable. I have slowly upgraded my interfaces, and haven't tried any that are around this price range other than this one. However, at this point, this model more than serves my purposes.

Plugins are alot. 002 has a built in mixing surface. rack version lacks it but im not a fan of the built in one. id recomend a mackie controller. you cant expand the number of tracks to mix on the 002 full. so im happy i got the rack version.

Price paid

1100

UTILIZATION

Easy to use if you have used any other audio program like cooledit and cubase cuz they all jock protools. the manual sucks if you dont know protools. it shows you some basics but is only 80 pages or so.

GETTING STARTED

It seems well built. nothing has broken. i havent had it for a long time to say it stands up to anything.

OVERALL OPINION

Sound quality is on point. more than enuff inputs good pres compared to other digi products. more than worth the money

yeah im really happy with my purchase. for a grand you cant get software and hardware that would ever touch a 002 rack or protools. i use this for hip hop and its the best for me. my mic sounds on point and its easy to run mpc or reason through. exactly fits my needs. if you need more than a protools le system id say look at higher end protools equipment

The feature on and in this unit are well thought out and placed. I wouldn't say anything was missing.

Price paid: $1900.00 USD

UTILIZATION

For your average DAW user the usability is a breeze.

GETTING STARTED

The first series of the 002R shipped with a power supply (harness) problem, which digi acknowleged and sent purchasers replacement wiring harnesses. With the newer units the problem has been fixed. I would change nothing in terms of usability.

Other than the harness problem with the earlier shipped units the quality as usual I find to be good. Durability is another issue, I wouldn't take this unit on the road with out the protection of a rack space. It's not that I feel the unit isn't durable, but why take a chance.

OVERALL OPINION

Lover factor. I really do love the 002R. I love the fact that this is a high quality unit, with great sound and features. Also the fact that digi puts Protools into producers/muscians on a budget hands at a fairly low cost.

Basically, I bought the 002 rack so that I could run Pro Tools. I use it with Pro Tools 7.4 with a Macbook Pro (2.2 Ghz Processor, 2 Ghz Ram) and use the ADAT feature to send it to a Behringer ADA8000 for more inputs. I used to have a MOTU 896HD and while I liked that more as an interface, I needed to start using Pro Tools.

UTILIZATION

It's pretty easy to set up depending on what other things you are using it with. I haven't had any compatibility issues with the interface, although I do have occasional issues with the Pro Tools software. The interface layout really couldn't be easier, plenty of monitoring options. I haven't had a need to ever look at the manual as it was easy enough to figure out.

GETTING STARTED

Using the 002, I've had no issues with latency, but it depends what kind of machine you are running it with. I have heard it doesn't work as well with a PC, but I have no experience with that. As the 002 only runs with Pro Tools, I have had no option of trying it with another type of software. I can run 16 tracks at once, using the 4 built in preamps, the 4 1/4'' inserts and my ADAT external 8 channel preamp.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had this for about a year and a half and there is no going back from it. Although I wish it had more built in pre-amps, it does everything I really need it to do (most of which is to run Pro Tools with). The 002 is a bit pricey but since Pro Tools is the industry standard theres nothing that can really be done to control the price of it. All in all, I'm very happy with my 002 and I would recommend it to anyone looking to do multi-track recording with Pro Tools.
