002 compared to Command8

[kcurry]

It DOES record automation: you just can't set the automation mode or change what you want to automate with it. For example, you can't use the C8 to change a track from auto read to auto write, nor could you set up a control on a plug-in to be automated. However, once you have done this with the mouse, you can certainly record automation for any parameter using the controls on the C8...

so are you saying that the digi002faders version could do all of this for you?

or are you talking about a more expensive bit of gear?

I have a Digi 001 and calling Digi tomorrow to trade in and up (unfortunately , not an HD)
I also am deciding 002R and Command 8 or Digi 002.
I probably will go with the Digi 002factory and a Digital Console. Either Yamaha , Tascam or Spirit so I can mix out of the box and use channel onboard gates/comps /fx along with rtas. I mix often in stems. i also have a Spirit analog console M8 which has a digital out. A REALLY KILLER little console for the money. Sweet EQ , DI's on every chanel , spdif out and the pres are pretty good.

I'm trying to figure out the best way to get the BEST POSSIBLE signalinto and out of the Digi002. Considering Appogee Rosetta , mini me, mini dac , etc

I see that many of you are concerned with talk back.
One of my friends has a killer 1 rack unit , I forget what it is that has talk back , several stereo pairs and was pretty costly , i think around $850.00 and works and sounds great.
I , on the other hand didn't have that much cash so i purchased the Samson C-Control. GREAT LITTLE UNIT !!!!!!
Not as transpaent as my firends but for the miney ....
It gives you several input option and you can switch between 2 sets of powered monitors and turn your sub woofer on or off , also mono , dim , mute and TALKBACK / talk to cue. A REAL HANY LITTLE BOX .... A MUST HAVE FOR ProTools.

see ya
