Purchase confidence...

[Philip Cottrell]

Greetings all..
I am about to purchase the 001, but after reading some of these posts I am feeling a tad shakey! Should I wait for 002 (hopefully with firewire support) or jump now?

Also, I will be using 001 to bring audio into Cubase.. Anyone doing the same? Any issues of which I should be aware?

Thanks for your comments!

Jump in now, the water's just fine!

Seriously, the 001 (aside from all of us bitching about certain aspects is an amazing box).

Welcome to the family.

Yeah man, make the move ...... it's a significant amount of power for the $$, besides who even knows if & when an Digi001 upgrade will be available - if you wait you might be on the sidelines until you've got grey hair. Go for it.

Bitching is pretty standard in any user group. Keep in mind though, for every person who bitches, there's a thousand others who are so busy making music they don't have time to complain. I have a friend who's used the 001 everyday for two years, and he's never even logged on to the DUC. Probably because he just calls me if he's got a question... [img]images/icons/rolleyes.gif[/img]

I used to use Cubase as my main DAW/Sequencer until I got PTLE. I hardly use it anymore (importing REX files seems to be the only use I have for it now).

I still have the 4.x version which uses ASIODirectIO drivers made in 1998 or 1999 (not ASIO 2.0). Just make sure the ASIO driver will work with Cubase 5.x.

Since Steinberg started making Nuendo (and stopped supporting TDM), they haven't put much effort into supporting Digi hardware - they have their own hardware which competes with some of the Digi hardware. The Digi/Steinberg relationship is not particularly warm.

...just a couple of things to check before you "assume" everything will work fine. Check on the Steinberg site and ask around there...

as one of the biggest critics of the box..... Yes, do it. PT's is by far the best and the digi001 is a nice box as well. If i did go with MOTU it would be on a second machine and you'd have to pry my digi001, AM2, and AM3 from my dead hands.

You have to also remember that the only reason some bitch on the DUC is because we actually LIKE the software and just want better things for it. If you want the industry standard and (I believe) the best,most intuitive interface, you have got to go with PT.

Thanks everyone for your replies... I feel better about getting on board now, and will look forward to participating here more often..

I was burned once (Opcode) and am a little tentative about splurging on a big ticket item (for me anyway)..

Thanks again!
