UTILIZATION

The installation took my head ... 1 hour I was worse at the beginning ... nothing worked ... I was lucky I had a test ... gives the driver xp does not work ... c often the case .. alas ... I downloader 1 beta (Beta 5.3.3b1) took on the Digi site everything is in order except some log
Sx / Reason / Ableton / recycle / tracktor / acid pro /
with wavelab but nothing! and with SoundForge ....
I go to the web I take the drivers (Beta 5.3.3b2) and any plant!
the log does not even have the driver .. I handed the old nickel from any walk
AFTER I intall protools ki also works very well

of + I (in sense 2) compatible with mac-protoolser my friends and who did not care of the mouth of my PC!

GETTING STARTED

The driver (Beta 5.3.3b1) tiendas the road with high log + cites

its a good preamp with nikel upstream ... but with all the c ...
no fear of having a neve or ssl ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 15 days (only (but thoroughly from 10 + / day if she had planted it should have done!
and then digi is a standart around the world! happening to you with your assignment Ptools you bump you go home ... etc.
c important!

I made this choice, only to make the audio, especially editing and mix.
My config:
Pentium IV 3.06 GHz
2048 DDRAM
120GB HDD
Recording often outside of a DTD (with microphone Oktava Mk012, Audio Technica and Rode), I use it primarily to edit and mix on Pro Tools 6.1

UTILIZATION

Not very complicated.
Beware, however incompatibilities with ASIO cards, or some problems related to ATI graphics cards.
Once launched Pro Tools, the config is so intuitive that already, if only a little practiced

GETTING STARTED

XP is stable. It is never safe from crashes that come from time to time (think of saving your sessions often). But it turns clear.
I use it solely on Pro Tools 6.1
Digidesign does offer versions of Reason and other software blackjack.

OVERALL OPINION

Bon bah that's fine. I use it for 2 months.
In Audio is great. I have often heard that the South is very weak. But since I do not use it at all ...
After Cubase, I think it's really something else.
And Pro Tools is a safe bet.
less than 1000 Euros, sold with PT6.1, go ahead it's all good.

Digital audio PCI card + 1U, 24 bit / 48kHz
8 I / O jack 1 / 4
1 I / O Stereo SPDIF
1 I / O Adat (8 I / O numrique)
2 Prampli quality digidesign
Midi In / Out
headphone jack with volume and volume monitoring

UTILIZATION

Simple user!
running cubase or other but your best to run Pro Tools!
very stable, the processor Allgemeine grant some effects RTAS

GETTING STARTED

You plug in your inputs and outputs, and given the level you play and record hop!
RAS & RAD

OVERALL OPINION

Trs good map that allows the amateur to the pro working with pro tools (with audio quality that is no longer prove )....... without ruining it!
is a value sre!

I bought this card hand because it seemed the best quality price vis vis the latest generation of cards (only with MOTU offer 8 inputs, 8 analog outputs and in-out in ADAT).
I use it in a config home studio, mixing and recording models, some video editing.
Config: AMD XP 3000 +, 1GG ram, hdd 80 1 g system, a 120 sata hdd audio gg

UTILIZATION

Installation made in 5 minutes thanks to the forum and Audiofanzine digidesign site.
I have not opened the manual.
I prcise my old sound card a MOTU 824 mk2 silent and have a lot galr with ... a little borked installation, reinstall in SERIES, disappearance of the card between two pc's start ... has worked but what a price!

GETTING STARTED

For the moment, drivers seem stable on the other hand it seems they are no longer being updated ...
I use it with Nuendo 2 and WAVELAB, no worries intgration hardware in software, with a latency of 11ms (without too much down the size of the buffer).
I do not do testing of multi-track recording at the moment, I would notice day thereafter. on the other hand I can read 20 simultaneous audio tracks with plug-ins.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it recently so I have not enough experience to rate a DEFINITIONS, for cons I can say that even when the ratio quality price is unbeatable (250 E used). I just wish not to have a version of protools latest issue, as the card comes with the 5.0.1. A small point ngatif, the length of cable between PCI card and external rack ... but hey xagrer should not either, the cable is not 50 cm ...
In short I recommend this card every home studio who do not want to ruin and are seeking a card with multiple I / O (with ADAT we could get up to 16 recording).

- What technical specifications motivated your choice?
I work in Home-Studio and I was looking for an audio interface too CHRE but with a good quality sound and connectivity than enough to not change in six months.
I was looking for a particular interface to work on Protools.

- For what purpose?
I record groups of fans and also levels of personal prods (for my group or other).

- What is your config (motherboard / CPU / Ram / Hard ,...)?
I work on PC, and even if it is supposedly not the IDAL to sound, I have no problem (hand to get used to shortcuts protools PC form with t MAC).
The computer does not suffer at all (2.5 GB RAM) and the installation of the t trs PCI Fast.

- Which instruments do you use or the Systmes? ...
I mixes batteries and sometimes I get him to the batteries via a midi batteire electronics. Otherwise, I do a lot of making guitar (acoustic and electric), many taking voice, and a little low.

UTILIZATION

- Installation is it without problem?
As said prcedemment, no worries.
No problem, even for a novice.

- Have you experienced any incompatibility?
No, I just blew up the SP2 on my PC (it is quite rcent and runs on XP Media) to accept Protools.

- The configuration gnrale is easy?
The PCI is recognized directly, without going into the BIOS to change Accs.
No driver to use the upload Digi001 (at least on XP).

- The manual is clear and sufficient? ...
Nickel chrome. Apart from that everything is in English.

GETTING STARTED

Well all is said before I think.

OVERALL OPINION

Ideal for many back in protools with optimal config for a ridiculous price from what is on the market.
A little has-been for some, with protools sincrement has changed very little.
Best years still ahead.

CONFIGURATION computer: ASUS P5E3, XPSP1, Q6600 2.4Ghz, PROTOOLS 6.4, 2ghz ram DD3, 2 SATA2 drives me syt ^ and data. Converter RME ADI 8 DS ADAT PCI card on the digi. 8 in / out.
Ddi computer music computer not connected to the net with 16 empty spots task manager.
Patch to optimize XP for audio Avid. (Stop service etc ...)

UTILIZATION

This configuration is valid even by me. P5E3 SP1 accepts and recognizes the heart using a Digi principal and also a little the rest because I qd disables other hearts, I will at least away from the performance. Front and P4@3.2ghz P4P800, I needed an IDE RAID 0 to relieve the system. The need, even 100% CPU with 100% automation everything is fluid 48khz/24bits 24 tracks.

GETTING STARTED

So I confirm this 100% functional configuration for Digi 001 users. Go to your eyes closed because "given the performance in the most demanding plug (which I think I am one) will be delighted. Without overclock so I'm all automated 24-track (several paramtres) I ride: drum roll ... 126 WAVE PLUG: renaissance which 116 EQ / COMP, 2 L2, a C4, 3 RVERB Stereo, a Stereo Delay. fluid medium.
Previously j'tais plug in 45 and rowed. This is the end of worry. Provided 400th prs (same mount me) you reach the performance of g5 qd they came out (I'll let you aprrcier the diffrence in price for equivalent performance mac / PC.
This is the very power!

OVERALL OPINION

Since 3 days without hsitations for those raises concern for protools quad core compatibility. FYI a nikel turns in sync with Reason 3 rewire protools 6.4 ds

The technical specifications that motivated me bah is the 8 inputs / outputs with the possibility of using Pro Tools at good prices.

-> Home studio recording use and become familiar with tools that I think use the most in my life (I started the SAE).

-> Config plutt good PC with 4 gigs of RAM intel proc I really know what and voila!

-> I use it plugs into a small console with MIDI and Yamaha also pramp and voila!
I use it with Nuendo and stuff like Reason Hearing everything works ...

UTILIZATION

- Installation, no problem even for the ca rolls ASIO

- No iTunes incompatibility unless it gre normal but hey I ca not chop it work Winamp with ASIO chupa ... The only REAL problem, say that Pro Tools on PC ... It's almost akin to turning Left 4 Dead on mac is not made for that so I bah Pro Tools icon on my desktop but I click on it ds screen is blue and So all the good shit ...

-> If no config ultra simple decision-head condition to drop Pro Tools on PC, unless you have a stable config not connect internet etc. (I remember having russi PT run, but long ago ..) Anyway I fuck all these idiots who talk about me as THE REFERENCE PT as the best etc ... from the sound that I find is 'qualitatively' suprieur Nuendo or Cubase (APRS all his views, and finally the point of hearing). Any fawn I got used Cubase, Nuendo now and that's what it's limited edition at best damn what more possibilities especially in MIDI (PT 8 seems to have partially rgl these gaps but hey ...). Voil what basically it works well on Nuendo matter and I can listen my my movies and music with Winamp ASIO ... brief

-> By the way no need for manual ...

GETTING STARTED

Drivers put more days but need ... Trs low latency with Nuendo and Reason and I think I test up to 6 tracks simultanment registered it works like clockwork ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a year now I think ... OCCAZ buy 250 balls (the price of the box used seems to have fallen further is really cool for this award have 8 inputs / 8 outputs and a trick that works great even when well (Digidesign is serious even if the old opportunistic basis ...) The ratio quality price is tip top BMOL is the only Pro Tools on PC right now but the prvoyez direct a Mac if it's war! I find cunt dpenser 500/800 euros in a card style MOTU or RME certainly trs good quality but good APRS I'm not super rich super short ... j'espre be clear of people ...

PS: Pramps rotten rotten but I bought a small pramp MPA Gold and top it if I use those in my small console ...

Frankly I kiffe against it by not super mobile (PCI) so bah I bought for my mac a little Tascam US-122 L that looks pretty sail!

This is a great audio interface for your computer. The one problem is that Protools takes up too much DSP, as a result you won't always be able to get 24 tracks of audio.

Price paid

$800

UTILIZATION

Very easy to use. Learn Protools and you're gold .

GETTING STARTED

Excellent user support. Amazing features. Infinitely upgradable! Buy the plugins install the plugins use the plugins.

OVERALL OPINION

Digidesign has always been known as the king of audio interfaces... with good reason. The Digi 001 uses the same quality inputs as found on thier $8000 Protools TDM System. You won't get a better audio interface for you computer under $1000!

Excellent gear. Don't know how I worked without it.

Has enough I/O's overall protools has done everything that I thought it would.

Price paid

$750 w/ mail in rebate

UTILIZATION

Very easy to use and set up protools buy a MAC and your straight and your ready produce in no time once you learn how to use it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GETTING STARTED

Oh Yeah I can plug in enuff instruments and get going.Interface is very sturdy.Have not had to use customer support yet!!!!!

OVERALL OPINION

It is perfect for home recordings and the sound quality is great.

I love protools, I wouldn't use anything else to record, I would only upgrade to bigger Protools systems. I've went from Protools Free to Mbox and now I use Digi001 when I get more money I want Digi002

I bought these purely to get into Pro TOols at a cheap price, and now I am hooked. I use a Celereon with one gig of ram, not a powerhouse, but it works well for my production studio.

UTILIZATION

The manual, as with most Digidesign things, was hard to read, thankfully the unit installed with no issues the first time I loaded it.

GETTING STARTED

The last version of Pro Tools supported is 6.4 and so far I have not had any issues with it, latency is fairly high if monitoring with effects and I have been able to use twenty four tracks at a time with my surrent setup.

OVERALL OPINION

DIGIDESIGN DIGI-001

If you are looking to get into a home recording system and not break the bank, you might seriously want to look into the Digi-001. Yes, it is not the latest and greatest unit by Digidesign and no it will not work on any Pro Tools version above version six four. But for the price you can find these things, most people can live with the shortcomings.

I currently own THREE of these units that I use. I have one in my main studio. I have one set up in a live rig and one as a back up. Hold on to your belts, folks – I have done some patient auction house hunting and I have a total of $350 dollar U.S. in all three of them INCLUDING the software.

They are smaller than the 002 and the 003 so they fit nicely in small home or production studios, the have eight analog inputs and eight digital inputs via ADAT light pipe and two more via SPIDF, there are two XLR connectors with switch able phantom power and they contain the rack ears to mount them.

I ask you. What more do you need for that price?

I have recorded a full fifteen CDs with this set up and more live gigs than I can mention and they have never even so much as once had an issue.

Now the Pro Tools folks say they don’t recommend anything other than an “approved” or “certified” computer system to run the units. Here’s the thing, I am running one of the units, my MAIN one on a Celeron processor with only a gig of RAM. The only difference I notice between that system and the Pentium four I use live is, I can’t run as many plug-ins before it starts to lock up. There ARE ways around that though through pre-processing the individual tracks instead of live processing.
