Re: Confusing Language at the Avid Site
Support was dropped for the 001 a long time ago.
6.4 was the last version if I remember correctly. You are just learning of this now? Here is the link This was basically triggered by Apple dropping PCI slots (in about 2002), as far as I can tell...

Of course, if you just did a search for "001" (which I just did) on the main digi site, you would have found this as the first result: http://www.digidesign.com/index.cfm?...5&itemid=23279

Re: Confusing Language at the Avid Site
Blam!
There it is on the Digi 001 system requirements page... but with quotes like this... "Pro Tools LE supports the use of any single supported Pro Tools LE audio interface." ... I thought there'd be no problem. Yeah, I've been doing Pro Tools 5.1 for years on OS 9.2 on a Blue and White G3. Super stable system! It never made a lick of difference in my needs, so I didn't care to get involved with the trendiness which amounts to hardly any bit of audio quality difference, but a whole lot more money. Then I started using Reason and Ableton and wanted to rewire it in to Pro Tools. Thats why I started updating, just recently. Got 6.4, everything was fine. But then I started getting gigs mixing music and found that I had no backwards compatibility, so I got my friend's 7.0 disc... and the rest you know. So it would be wise for me to upgrade my hard ware. I really do not want to give up my inputs and outputs, so it looks like the Mbox 2 Pro is the best bang for the buck. Any other recommendations? |

Re: Confusing Language at the Avid Site
Actually if you want to have the same number of inputs/outputs as your Digi001, you are probably better off with the Digi003R. There is also the Digi003 with the control surface and the Digi003R+ with 8 mic pres. The Mbox2Pro only give you 4 analog inputs (two mic pres/2 line ins) plus two digital SP/DIF inputs. Are you planning to use these on your Blue&White G3? Most likely you new interface will come with Protools 8 which will require at least Leopard (OSX 10.5.x) or Protools 8.0.3 which will require Snow Leopard (OSX 10.6.x) and an Intel based Mac. You kind of need to upgrade your whole system and OS, and not just the interface and software. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. The good news is that you are doing your research first before buying anything. It will save you a lot of headache. Better set a higher budget.
