New Interface
Im looking for some input for a new interface. We have a system that was updated to PT 12.1 and yosemite - from PT9 and a 002r on a Mac Pro 2009.
Obviously the 002r wont work any more. The system is used for song writing and composing. There are mono or stereo tracks recorded. Vocals, etc. So latency is an issue but not a huge one. They used the 002r after all. One challenge is: We like to be able to use the interface on a 2013 laptop as well as the Mac Pro. Other qualifiers are that it needs to have: SPDF Midi at least 2-4 inputs. Monitor Section Id love to be able to use the Focusrite Clarett 8Pre. It fits the bill perfectly but its only Thunderbolt compatible. Maybe the Saffire pro? or others? Thanks for the input. |

Re: New Interface
Is the Mac Pro not the new cylinder model?

Re: New Interface
No Its a 2009 Model So its just USB 2 and Firewire 400/800. USB 3 could be added but Thunderbolt cannot. I did a lot of research on that last night just to see if it was possible.

Re: New Interface
The Saffire pro should work swimmingly for you. Great interface, no complaints here.

Re: New Interface
THe Universal Audio Apollo Firewire fits the bill. Add a thunderbolt card and its golden..

Re: New Interface
BTW, just because the 002r is no longer supported, doesn't mean it won't work. Try the 003rack driver and see what happens

Re: New Interface
I'll toss RME onto the list as an option but I'd probably get the UA myself
do try the 003r driver to carry you until you pic a new interface

Re: New Interface
Yeah, if I knew you were thinking of a UA I would also go that route if the budget is there.

Re: New Interface
Still expensive but good deals on my favorite, Metric Halo now. Have the ULN8 and it's amazing.
