Metric Halo + DSP and 003

[sureno]

is it possible to use the 2882 with my 00 so that i can have the extra 8 ports and use the DSP function of it? if so am i right in just saying daisy chain the 2 and use ADAT to connect the 2?

I'm a little unclear about the full functionality of the 2882 in "Standalone Mode"

Stand-alone Operation
Flexible signal routing and sophisticated patch and preset management systems are also featured in the 2882 Expanded, including two separately addressable boot states for standalone operation. 2882’s front-panel recall system allows the unit to function equally as well as a stand-alone Mic Pre/Converter system. In standalone mode, the 2882 operates with the converters directly routed to and from the AES/SPDIF I/O, ADAT or TOSLINK.

As a standalone converter, the 2882 provides a 24bit/96kHz stereo front-end with 8 great sounding utility mic pres for any recording system. It also functions seamlessly as a digital monitor controller, making it ideal as digital headphone amp and studio monitor controller

If you can use the unit in standalone mode, as an 8ch A/D converter, out Light Pipe....
Pro Tools will recognize the MHLABS unit, as Adat 1-8 in the 003 i/o

You will NOT however be able to access any DSP power, from Inside pro-Tools.

At Best, this would be an 8ch Analog to Adat converter for you.

I'd contact Metric Halo (The always answer their phones, and are quite helpful) about using the unit in Standalone mode, to convert 8 Analog in's to Adat out.

Would be very nice if you could report back here after you've spoken to them.

Thanks
