Default Re: 003R drivers required to use as external pre?

Not worth it. It'd be noisy too, I think. And what you get for your money nowadays is quality way beyond the 003r.

Thanks for the think-through. Like you say, it'd involve firing up my old 2007 MBP (still works!) which has the driver on it, running either PT10 or 11, and routing from there. Just not worth it anymore. Even better- that computer is noisy as all get out because the cooling fans are failing and run out of control and the heat causes 2nd degree burns (ask me how I know). Time and technology have moved on, thankfully.
