I'm not mixin' national records on this particular machine - I have other tools for that. Just need to playback about 24 and record 2 at a time. Simple stuff - getting learning tapes together. But I want the convenience of using the PC at my job that I have admin access to.
I still have an old Digidesign USB Micro audio interface too - will that work? I'm usually an all Mac guy. But I need a PC solution and I'm wondering what the most current software version is that I can use on this baby. I LOVE clip gain and am really hoping to be able to put 10 on this baby. Any help you could offer would be great. I know this isn't an 'approved' computer for 10 - I've read all that. I'm just wondering if people ARE using i5s successfully with PT10.
Thanks! |
I'm using a Micro with my MBP and PT9 HD and its fine. However the Micro has zero inputs. It was a monitoring only solution. The Mini had two inputs. 1 line and one line or XLR. If your only recording VIs than the Micro would be fine. if your trying to record audio you going to need a Mini. Since 9 and 10 support third party hardware you have plenty of choices. Any Windows interface is going to need a ASIO driver to work with Pro Tools natively.
