Thanks in advance for your time to answer.

Pro Tools 2021.3 and 003 Family 11.1.5 Driver
 

I know the pain of no one responding to a question here... ;-)

I had successfully run a Digi 003 Rack (not 002) with the 003 Family driver and Mojave 10.14.6 for well over a year.

I did get occasional-6101 errors, though. Not showstoppers, but annoying. And those DISAPPEARED when I dumped the 003 Rack and deleted the driver in favor of a Focusrite unit. YMMV.

Could’ve been the driver...could’ve been something in the 3 adapters I had to use to get the 003R connected to TB3. Can’t say for sure.

Sorry I cannot answer your question. Support for the 003 sadly went a way a long time ago. When I had mine (for 13 years) I ran it with a 2007 iMac, Lion running 10.7.5 and Pro Tools 10.3.

I knew when I decided to upgrade, everything was going to have to be upgraded, a full tech-refresh. New iMac, new interface, and new PT Software.

On my old system I had to make a decision on trade-offs. One was update the 003 driver to gain the support of the Agg I/O, meaning I could play iTunes without having to close Pro Tools. However with that I lost Low Latency Monitoring. I chose the LLM over having to shut down PT to listen to a reference track, You Tube etc...

That's why after 13 years, I felt I got my money's worth out of the old system and time to refresh. Glad I did. IMO, the UA Apollo pre's sound 10x better than the pre's in the 003. But that is just my opinion and not stating that as a fact. Sadly legacy equipment that relies on computer drivers and software just falls off the support grid as technology marches forward. Just the nature of technology.

I have another system that is a new Mac Mini running Mojave 10.14.6, Pro Tools 2021.3 and a Lynx Aurora n32 A/D/A, which works great. I use my old Mac Pro for editing only - no tracking, so I have been trying to limp along my old 002 and it works fine with Pro Tools 2020.9.1. I am wanting to update to Pro Tools 2021.3 but I really don't want to buy another interface for the old system.


Thanks for your reply.

DO NOT upgrade to 2021.3 or 2021.3.1 if you haven’t already. Major bugginess awaits. I just ran back to 2020.12.1, myself.

If your system is solid, stick and stay. IMO.

Agree that if your system is solid to stick and stay, but I wouldn't call 2021.3 buggy at all - I had the exact opposite with my 2013 15" MBP and my 2019 16" MBP. I also did a clean install and installed plugins with the most current installers.

Is it possible to use the Family Driver(s) even with Pro Tools | First ?
