so heres the situation with the digidesign hd chassis
i couldn't use it with pro tools 8 as i thought so i did some research and seen it was last supported with pro tools 7.4 HD & windows Xp. luckily i had a windows xp disk laying around. i did manage to find a copy of pro tools 7.3 hd unregistered in its original packaging, came with the music production toolkit and all of the demo disk from back in the day loaded everything up and connected my ART DPS 2 mic pre and did some vocals. to my surprised everything worked. i didnt get any lag or any other errors while recording.
im a run some more test tomorrow morning with some pluging and see how it goes but so far so good.
