Digi 002 midi
Hi.
I am using PT8le and Sonar Pro on a Win 8.1 64bit /16bit 16gb RAM system. With Sonar ,audio is being handled by an Emu 1212m I would like to use Digi 002 console as a controller with Sonar Pro, and noticed that in Sonar ,there are TWO MIDI options listed (hm okay there are three actually but the one is obviously dedicated to the in /out midi socket on back of device...) FW 002 MIDI AsyncMidiControl FW 002 MIDI MidiControl (and ofcourse it lists a FW 002 MIDI IN/OUT) Which MIDI port would you suggest me to try configure with Sonar's learn function? |
Re: Digi 002 midi
Personally, I would dump the 002 and try the new Presonus Faderport8.

thanks for the suggestion Well I think that if I was to buy me something new that would be Behringer X-Touch ,looks MUCH better to me than Presonus.Only the endless encoder and FOUR on each channel strip ,makes it so much better for slightly more. Anyway I'm using mostly PT8 ,and Digi does it all so nicely.... |

I agree I'm not enthused with the sound of Digi 002 pres.I have a Behringer T1953 solid state with a blend of tube sound pre and using it puire solid state sounds quite transparent .I also feed the digital out of digi to E-mu ,so I can use its AKM converters which for its price are quite good. My main issue is that given PT8 limitations ,having also Sonar Pro installed makes things better.Besides the limit on number of track with PT8LE , there are features in Sonar not available in any PT version ,like unlimited inserts or Mix A/B just to name a few .Especially unlimited inserts is great cause I don't care if I need to have for example 3 compressors and 3 EQs on the same strip and mute all except the one I like and be able to compare between them, without worrying getting out of slots to insert something else.For me that's quite flexible,and this feature alone is the reason to use it. I am a bit undecided on which system to mix on : PT8LE is track limited,. and I think there's no PDC.Sonar doesn't has these limitations but the Digi integration is great.I don't know either about Presonus or the Behringer : but I saw more controls and buttons to push than Presonus :D |
Re: Digi 002 midi
Things to consider:
More buttons is necessarily better(in fact, often the opposite is true). PT 8LE is "caveman" software compared to anything current:o( PT9 was a step up(added ADC). PT10 was a game changer, PT11 was monstrously better(because of being full 64 bit software) and the current 12.8 would make your head spin(assuming a computer capable of running it well) in comparison to LE8. Is PT now better than Sonar, Studio One, Logic, etc? I don't know the answer but truthfully don't care. At the end of the day, all the current DAW options can give great results(with a skilled op and decent recording techniques), so I say, use the one that works the way you like:D I curse PT from time to time, but it handles my needs in ways that keep me onboard:rolleyes: |
