Avid, I need to know about future support!
DIGITECHSUPPORT, please reply... I know you're always around...
So they say: Quote:
When Pro Tools 11 comes out, can I still use a 002 or 003? I don't believe Avid has any hardware that can replace these. If I can NOT use a 002 or 003 then you are effectively telling me that a year ago, Pro Tools was opened to ANY third party interface, but in another year or so... Pro Tools will be open to ANY interface, but their old ones?! It doesn't make sense and I've talked to a lot of people about it and NO ONE understands. A.) Here's the argument for the side that says we can still use them once Pro Tools goes 64 bit: "If they support any interface through CoreAudio and Asio, why wouldn't/couldn't they support their OWN?" B.) Here's the argument for the side that says we won't be able to use a 002r/003r anymore: "Digidesign hardware needs digi drivers... If they don't release updates, especially after OS updates... Users get screwed." So which is it? |

B) Writing drivers costs money. If the 002/003 family isn't making money, there's no reason to write new drivers for it. They will support them most likely through to the end of the latest OS builds like in the past... but this isn't the first time Avid or any other hardware company has dropped support of aging products. The fact that the 002 still has any support at all is near miraculous.

I have fully tested the 002r and 003r with PT10, and it is as it is in PT9.

Re: Avid, I need to know about future support!
I'm not worried about Pro Tools 10 at all. I can read. I know Pro Tools 10 is all good with this stuff.
I'm worried about Pro Tools 11, which is coming SOON. (a reason why most of you shouldn't upgrade if you can't afford it.) Pro Tools 11 will be 64 bit and I need to know what they mean by Pro Tools 10 being the "final release to support" the 002/003 family. Dism... You didn't really answer... You said a couple things that were a LITTLE informative... The A and B were two sides to a coin.. Not just two separate questions... It was two COMPLETELY different sides of the same argument But what I need to know is... Can I use my 002r with Pro Tools 11? Point Blank. DigiTechSupport can answer this. I know he can. whether I'm using it through CoreAudio/ASIO stuff or whatever. I just want to know if I can use it with Pro Tools 11. If not, I need to buy a new interface NOW. |

You already have your answer... you answered it in the first post.
PT10 is the last version to support the 002/003 family.

One of the funniest statements I have ever read on the DUC, for myriad reasons, none of which reflect well on the poster... lol, ff

All plug-ins, too? No need to update anything if not using HDX card?
