003 rack as a mic preamp for a webcam?
Is there a way to use the digi003 rack like a microphone preamp that can act as the microphone connection for a webcam?

Nope, there is no direct mic preamp outputs and no built-in stand-alone mixer in the 003.

I just did it on my 003 Rack with Windows 10. Just set up input #1 as you normally would for recording, then select "Digidesign 003 Rack Analog 1/2" as your mic input in your webcam software and you're good to go. Remember to set the Playback Engine HW Buffer size as low as possible (64 in my case) to minimize latency. |

Re: 003 rack as a mic preamp for a webcam?
So lots of details may matter here. And some care with naming.
The 003 has no preamp inserts so you cannot use it as an outboard preamp. The 003 does not have a stand-alone mode so you cannot say use it as an outboard mixer and input S/PDIF into a computer. And that does in the question if "like a preamp" is to be believed literally. But sure you can use the 003 as an *interface* but then its an interface not a preamp, and you may need to use the audio/headphones output on that depending on your software. And you cannot aggregate the 003 using coreAudio if you are on a Mac, which some software might require if you wanted to use a different output. Last edited by Darryl Ramm; 04-22-2017 at 03:45 PM. |

If you want to do it the easy way (003 powers your mic, amplifies its signal and then converts it to digital so it appears as a digital input that you can easily select as the input for your video recording), the answer is "Yes, it works great and it's not that hard to set up". If you want to do it the hard way (don't launch protools, expect the mic output to be on an analog output that you can then find some other way to digitize and get to your webcam), then yeah, the 003 isn't a good choice.
