Pro Tools 10 HD just boots up perfect, I didn’t get an iLok unfortunately
I can try to plug in the 002 to see if it works, but would I get a better sound from something newer or more update?
I’ve seen a lot of good things about the Focusrite series so I was thinking about a 2i2 3rd gen for now, then worry when I have to record a full drum set down the line.
Just looking for any suggestions on something relatively, hopefully, cheap that I can record 8 tracks at once.

Since the 2i2 is only 2 ins, why bother? I would keep using the 002(net cost=$0) and to get better audio, add either a 2 channel preamp with SPDIF(ART Digital MPA is good and affordable. API A2D is pricey, but stellar). Or add an 8 channel lightpipe pre(Behringer ADA8200 is quite good and dirt cheap. Midas XL48 is amazing for drums and well under $1K). iLok 2 or 3 is less than $40
