pro tools set up?
Ive been offered a pro tools set up that consists of using my PT12 mac system with getting 2 x 192 interfaces
Its for my home studio that i have drums, guitars (mic the cab), bass (DI & Mic) set up all the time so full time there is 24 tracks in use. My question is - do i need a desk or can i use everything in the box? ie - i plug everything to the 192 and use protools to monitor, set up headphone mix, add plug ins preamps etc etc or would i be best getting a desk??? |

Re: pro tools set up?
IMHO you would be fine without, though mixing can be easier with some sort of control surface,("mousing" can get tiring), and outboard gear is great for adding "flavor"

Presonus FaderPort(old style) 1 fader, but under $100 used FaderPort(new version) closer to $200(1 good fader can do a fine job writing automation) FaderPort 8 or 16(lots more faders, but priced to match) Behringer X-Touch(8 faders) for around $500 Artist Mix(used-around $600) If you can hold off for a while, I think we might see new stuff from Avid in the near future(Artist series are getting old). Personally, I am hoping for something like a smaller(and cheaper) S3

Re: pro tools set up?
And to add to what Albee wrote You also need a HD license as regular Pro Tools wont work with the HD cards and those 192 interfaces wont work without a HD card.
And if you plan to use older Accel cards you cant run higher version of PT than PT10HD. If you want to run HD12 you have to get either a HDN or HDX card to use that setup.

Re: pro tools set up?
You'll probably need a monitor controller of some sort. The 192's don't have any sort of built in volume control/speaker switching/talkback/cue/etc.

Not to mention $400 for a Digilink license.
