Digi001 Exchange Programs?
 
I have an old Digi001/LE ProTools rig running on an old G4 that has been in storage for a while. I recently got a new MacBook Pro and wanted to know if there was still any hardware exchange programs for the Digi001/LE platform as I would like to resurrect the rig. I did some searches and find exchange programs, but they were from 2007 - 2008.

Thanks for any help.

Since this is the USER conference, I would simply call a dealer. I would be shocked if they have any deals going on a 10 year old(give or take) product:rolleyes:

Thanks for the reply. I was going to call a dealer next, but thought I would put the feelers out there to see if anyone had any thoughts.

Think about it, the 001 is so old it doesn't even qualify for a PT 9 crossgrade.
Really out there hoping for a hardware exchange.

Just go ahead and buy PT9 and keep it moving.
Would seem to be the simplist move.

If not then go on the hunt for a used 003Rack or mBox2 Pro, if you do go used make sure you get one that has PT LE 8.

Not trying to insult anyone but a real important point to understand.
If the OP was in the position to purchase HD/Native he wouldn't be complaining about no 001 trade in or crossgrade.

HD/Native is a hardware/software upgrade, it's not the Pro Tools 9 software upgrde.

001 to 003 Factory upgrade. Saves quite a chunk of change, too.

Scarey since it appears to be a Sweetwater deal not Avid.
