Hey everyone,
This is the first step of building my new and improved home/professional studio. I'm in the middle of my audio engineering course, and I need to start thinking about my future career, so all help will be welcome. First of all let me say that I'll mainly be suing Logic 8, for my own production and for mixing other people's work. Now, I'm looking for a few pieces of hard/software to buy (already got Mac running Logic Studio), and I want to be able to work with ProTools in case any customer ask for it, so I'll have to buy it. Then, my question is: will Digi003 Rack be the best investment I'll do? It's an audio interface and ProTools in one, plus mic/instrument pres, so it looks kind of good to me. But I'm a little worried about its behavior with Logic. Anyone using this setup? Having trouble? What would you suggest if you had around 1100€ (think it's around US$1600) to spend and you needed to use ProTools and Logic? Also, I need some good plugins, EQ, Compressor, or even a DSP system... What's your opinion on this one? Maximum 700€ (+- US$1000) Thanks a lot to all you. |

The real question is why even use PTLE, it's not going to improve the quality.
And if people already have PTLE.....Why would they come to your studio? PT|HD makes more sense if you want to capture PTLE clients.

There are a few good reasons for using PTLE or PTHD and a few not so. it isn't black and white as pointed out here.
As has been pointed out a million + times - the pre's on MBOX blabla or 001/2/3/ are pretty useless (if you want pristine) If you want to make music for your Vinyl or CD release I'd work with Logic. If you want to be quick(er) editing & automating material to picture then PT LE OR HD would be the way to go. The OMF interchange between the two platforms still sucks. In my line of work most people use PT (yes sheep) as it's the Film blabla industry standard. Quite simple really. It's easy to say yeah go with HD if you want to attract clients - it's also a lot of money for most people, or hadn't you looked at the recent costs?
