Default Re: Pro Tools LE Vs. HD

It really depends are how far you want to take your recording, and what type of recording you will be doing.

You can absolutely get professional results with a 002, or 002 Rack. One of the main reasons I upgraded from 002 to HD was the track count and I think Digi is smart that way. If PT LE's track count was limited to your CPU power many people wouldn't find the need to upgrade, I don't think I would have.

Is there a sonic difference between HD and a Digi002... technically yes. Things like a 48bit mix buss vs. 32 bit mix buss, floating point vs. fixed, but to be honest it's not striking, so many other factors go into getting the right sound.

So if track count and marketing are not huge factors for you then I say invest in some high quality converts, mic pres, and mics.

A Digi002 with some nice outboard gear can yeld some incredible results in the right hands.

YMMV,
Rob
