settle this please 001vs2408
CAN YOU COMBINE THESE TWO??

I am buying a G4 400 256RAM ASAP > >I seem to be stuck: > >..... between Logic Platinum (+card); the new DIGI 001; and MOTU 2408/DP. > >The DIGI 001 piece looks great, and I am sold on the PRO TOOLS 5.0 LE interface and the PRO TOOLS concept as "industry standard". But, it will be harder for me to import tape tracks into this >config. (ADAT lightpipe only - I am TDIF) > >I like the idea of the TDIF's on the 2408, but it seems a Logic/PRO TOOLS >combo is a more often used/common standard setup in pro studios - however >it does not offer the sleek card/interface of the 2408 (great for dumping >my tape tracks for editing!) > >Am I best mixing and matching (a la Logic sequencing, plus 2408 interfacing >tape tracks, plus pro tools LE for RTAS plug ins/editing)? ....Wouldn't it >be best to keep it all under one "brand"? > >Is host based processing/editing there yet? I cannot deal with crashing and >burning - I like tracking to tape - i hear too many horror stories around CUBASE, etc. > >Should I just get a sequencer (LOGIC) and wait til I can afford TDM/MIXPlus? > >PLEASE HELP! Your thoughts and insight are greatly appreciated. thanks in >advance.

I'm quite in the same situation of investing in a DAW A.S.A.P. Will the Digi001's MIDI sequencer be so powerful that I won't need to buy the (so called) top sequencer LA Platinum?? Could I have more details on it?
I'll be in NYC in about 2 weeks. Will I find one of these new machines to play with?? ------------------ |

After seeing the 001 on tour -
looks great, all inclusive. if starting from scratch, this is a great system and you probably won't need logic....if you already use logic, i understad that emagic will be supporting the 001. from the look of the system and its feature set, you would be best suited using it by itself as a stand alone, studio in a box. if you are just doing music (not synching to video/external tape decks) in the MAC, it will be a great, cost effective home studio solution...which I think is what DIGI had in mind. This is not the gear to buy to try to integrate into a full blown, intricately designed setup, with too many different pieces talking to each other. Think of it as the DIGI/Pro Tools MAC User interface version of a Roland VS1680 - you buy it for what it is and use it for that...when you are ready for more, you upgrade to TDM, add mic pre's, midi interfaces, etc.!!
