Hi All
I am new user to ex ProTools LE 7. I bought it Jan. 7, 2006 (with Digi002 rack) and resold the same 20 months. Nothing wrong at the installation. It plutt easy. Ditto for the hardware configuration gnrale. Surprise at the first launch: the software is in English. A black dot over the doc also in English.
SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE
Here is my config: Athlon 2800 + on Asus A7N8X Deluxe motherboard, 1GB of DDR PC3200 and 2 discs UDMA133 7200RPM 8MB of cache.
Protools 7 LE requires large hardware resources. Indeed I Exceeds 60% CPU utilization with 12 audio tracks in reading and 5 plugins in which an insert convolution reverb (Wizoo)! The other 4 taient a comp and a basic EQ Digidesign. I use Nuendo 3 and I can usually record 24 tracks simultaneously and mix as much (or +) with 3 different reverbs (home waves), a comp + insert an EQ on each voice, use of sub-groups with even other effects and I can not reach 20% CPU usage!

Also I had several errors and crashes due to DAE (digital audio engine).
OVERALL OPINION
I used Pro Tools LE 7 almost 2 weeks to finally come back without hsitation Nuendo 3. In fact, the keyboard shortcuts are super complicated alt + shift + ["] for example and so must all the time going through the menus, the markers are difficult grate + and finally the edition or no programming noon and compared Nuendo. I often work on projects with long recording time (1:30 2 hours) and PT7 the "bounce to disk" which serves a mix multiple tracks to wav file Stereo lasts as logtemps the same time session. With Nuendo 3 for a project of 2 hours, 10 minutes to take the blender file stro.
The price quality ratio is good because even when the audio interface (the digii002) is of very good quality. pramps the 4 are good and it is possible to route the signal easily. However, and this is rather teacher, Digidesign announces 32-track recording and playback or the Digi002 not be liable for only 18 to record (and still a little bricollant with spdif). It is impossible to couple two Digi002 to reach the 32 tracks ... not cool. I for my part rgulirement need 24 tracks simultaneously.
In short in my case, I make a mistake by buying Digi002 and Protools 7 and I ENTSO. This material does not rpond my needs. I will not go that choice in the future. I sold everything and came back from Nuendo 3 with an RME Fireface 800. This is the day and night! DSOL for fans of Protools, but for me this log do nothing more than Nuendo. For the quality of sound, a good mic, good pramp, good converters and is jou whatever the software used.
