Hello. You can already use other converters and mic pres and connect to any Digidesign hardware through the digital inputs. A very large part of installed TDM systems bypass the Digidesign hardware completely and just use the software.

Thanks Froyo - So if I was to go with TDM - what would be the minimal digidesign hardware components I would need? Just the soundcard? Is that possible? And then get my own converters, pres, and midi interface to plug into their sound card? Or do I need to atleast have the TDM hardware first? I'm confused...

I'd rather not change platforms, but I also want more flexibility. Thanks ~
