Do 003 & 002 pass audio with no computer?

002 has stand alone support 003 does not. I always have to be careful as I've said that wrong before, you would think the 003 would add functionality not take it away, it was quite a disappointment to some folks when the 003 came out without it. Well discussed on DUC in the past, and wait for it... well described in the product guides

Look for "stand-alone"

If memory serves, only the mixer 002 had a stand-alone mode(with a button on the surface to enable it). I applaud you wishing to avoid the landfill, so here's another option. Pair it with an older computer and something like Pro Tools LE 8 and offer for cheap(or free) locally for someone wishing to get started in home recording, but doesn't have much money

Dave. I used to think that as well, and now I'm reminded this is something the 002 rack doc actually does not mention... but AFAIK it works. The inputs on the 002R are routed to the ADAT outputs. Anybody with as 002R should try it...

Not sure, but maybe you mis-read my suggestion. I meant to sell a turn-key system of older computer WITH the 002/003 and older LE software(as opposed to simply selling the interface by itself). I am planning similar here as I have a G5, original Mbox and LE 8, so someone can dive into home recording with a single modestly-priced package Recycling is fine too, but you might want to pull off all the knobs and list on eBay for a few bucks as I see some interfaces with missing knobs as most folks don't know where to turn for replacements

I haven't used my BLA mod 002R in ages. I stopped using it when I switched to a Focusrite LS56. And now, I'm using a PreSonus Quantum 2626, and love it. (I still use the LS56 as an 8-channel ADAT slave to the 2626.) The 2626 has solid build quality, great drivers, and sounds great. If you have Thunderbolt, check out the 2626.

Reading the great feedback on the Quantum. Low latency as well.


Still pushing my 2010 Mac Pro and thunderbolt is not an option.



Although some did run the Titan Ridge but not without hiccups that is not worth dealing with.


Seems I'm gravitating to the EVO 16 or the Mbox Studio since they are USB.
