Digidesign Digi 003
To coincide with the launch of the 003 and 003R, Digidesign have also updated their free Ignition Pack software bundle. None of this makes any sense. The noise floor was every bit as good on the 003 as on the Octopre and subjectively was possibly slightly better.
Build your mix in the park, then go dump it down to digital at any pro studio. All of the new features make it easier to operate Pro Tools using the control surface rather than a mouse and keyboard, and will suit users who prefer a more tactile connection to their equipment. Get a new sound card?
Digidesign Digi 003 - Plus, you also get the Structure Free sampler player, the powerful Xpand! To record from the pre's only, just choose one of those inputs in pro tools, and use output 2 on the 003 rack into the Rosetta.
Okay, ul takes care of your digi input. If you connect this way, you can still use the 003 monitor controls headphone outs and volume controls as well as hooking up the Main Out connections of the 003 to your monitors. Now you can switch between listening to the 003 030 and the Apogee converters simply by switching Aux In on the 003 on and off. The reason for doing this so you hook be able to A-B the converters, but also you can just use 003 hardware you have if you're not ready to take the next step and get other monitor control hardware. Connect your monitors as usual from 003 Main Outs. If you have more or different equipment in this chain, then that's another story and you might need to connect Word Clock. Sorry, I won't have any answers. Always power up the Apogee first. Before you begin, set the Sample Rate on the Apogee to 44. For other rates, do some research.
