- I just buy it ... but early tests are very promising
- I was three years of DIGI002 but I needed to also work on Digital Performer, so that's the main advantage of this machine: it works with almost all software. Access to parameters is relatively easy and the jog wheel is very handy during assembly. Everything is very intuitive and the machine was well in hand after only an hour or two of use. Without having all the features of a Procontrol, the experience is much the same in the mix.
Minor drawbacks: HUI mode, the master fader is not taken into account, it is the protocol that is like that, the Mackie is not to blame. Another thing, caches Lexan polycarbonate stickers and are done to be glued to the console: it's a bit boring for a multi-machine, I preferred that the covers are magnetic and can be 'clip' on the surface; as they are slightly concave, they do not marry 'exactly' the MCU. If I find a system to solve this, I will share with you.
- Digi002 the Apes, I acquired a BCF2000 for travel (not comparable, but not even taken either). I tried a Tascam, the command of digi-8 and M-Audio Project Mix, and I finally opted for Mackie. The others were either too expensive (Tascam), is still limited compatibility (Cmd-8) and Project Mix a little toy, especially since I doubt a little of the quality of the sound card (a hard, low dynamic ).
- At this price, after a battery of tests, I feel very satisfied with my purchase.
- I will tell you if I have no regrets in a year!
