Digidesign 003 Factory Complete

The installation is done it without problems?
No problem. Everything went as described in the manual.

Have you experienced any incompatibilities?
Then I do not know if you can call it incompatibility, but be aware that the hardware is only compatible with Pro Tools. We can not under any circumstances be used as a sound card + control surface for other software.
There are ASIO drivers but are super limited, impossible to do multitrack.
That is probably because I'm ill-informed before you buy, but I thought I could also use it with Sonar.
The general configuration is easy?
Yes the setup is very easy, no problem.

The manual is clear and sufficient? ...
Good textbook, and all come with a training DVD (in English) that explains the basics well. I found it pretty good.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

What is the configuration of your computer? (Motherboard / CPU / Ram / Disk / sound card ..)
Dell XPS Pentium 4 3.2 GHz, 4 GB memory

The software works he correctly on this configuration?
In the manual they advise to create a hardware profile to use the expression 003. And it is true that when you disable the cards that are not needed (network cards, peripherals and other resource-intensive.) The system works much better and was less than the registration deadline.

What performance? (If quantifiable)
The whole platform is a good all in one recording, with built-in effects.
This software + hardware is stable?
I have not had any problems in the few tests I made.

OVERALL OPINION

For how long have you been using it?
I used it for a week. Then I wanted to return to the site where I bought it because I personally prefer and am more familiar with Sonar, because the software was installed, I only have not resumed.
What thing do you like most/least about it?
What I like most is that everything is integrated, with effects, plugins.
You'll understand what bothers me is that I can use this platform with ProTool. But I only had to inform myself better before I buy <img class="smiley" src="https://fr.audiofanzine.com/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_lol.gif" alt="" />

Did you try many other models before getting this one?
I had Motu (now 896mk3), combined with the surface Beringher. And I came back. Besides, if I really can not make myself do have an on site shop which sold me the camera, you'll see on sale in the ads because I do serve at all. Again, this is a good tool, but not for me who knows better sonar.
I have already prepared the papers for licensing.
What is your opinion about the value for the price?
For what it is I find the prices quite suitable. If it was more compatible with other systems of registration, it would be downright excellent value for money <img class="smiley" src="https://fr.audiofanzine.com/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_lol.gif" alt="" />
Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice? ...
No, for reasons I described above. I'll try to buy the complete system CAKEWALK SONAR V-Studio VS-700 COMPLETE. on the other hand who got him to be only USB and not firewire ... I'm never happy, I know <img class="smiley" src="https://fr.audiofanzine.com/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt="" />
