Default Can Pro Tools software work with any non-digidesign hardware
Can you only use the MBox2, Digi 003, etc, or are other company's hardware compatible? If so, what are the compatible DAWs?

I use logic a lot with all of the mboxes and 002 and 003. If fact Logic loves digi hardware. (the only digi hardware that seems to be not as compatible are the HUI's (Control 24, etc....)). Also Ableton, Reason in fact allmost all audio programs will recognise digi hardware, the other way round however...........

Pro Tools software will not function without Digidesign hardware. The program won't open.

Just realised I read his post inside out, upside down, back to front, or inverted the polarity of his meaning (you get the idea!!!)... Doh!

albee is of course correct. No digi hardware = no protools
