I just can't say this enough
The Digi system is not full protools, dido to Damann! Its not expandable, the Digi002 is nice and presonus has their Firestation or what ever to expand on the 001 but in my eyes thats still not going to cut it. but yeah I am upset with MOTU because or their failure to get out OSX drivers before the OS was already almost 2 years old. But then again protools is still OS9.

The only advice I have to offer is that nowadays I automatically "erase" dodgydesign from my field of vision when I walk into my local music store. I know what's cool and what's carp.
I own an Apogee AD-8000 converter  (yes, expensive but beautiful) and have a TDM ProFools rig and also, a much more creative, beefier in terms of DSP, and cheaper (than a single 2nd hand dodgydesign 888/24) MOTU 2408 rig. I have compared the output quality of the Apogee against the 2408 (I know I'm not talking about an 828 here, but my assumption is that the 2408's converters are similar) and the 2408 isn't quite as rounded in the bottom end as the Apogee, but hey!! For the money?! The 2408 s***s all over the sound quality of a dodgydesign 888!!  Do those who use PT really know their a**e from their elbow, I ask myself? The 828 is something I really want to get my hands on. A DigiOO1 is something I laugh at when I see it in some poor chap's/lasses rack.  Summary: If a (TDM based) 888/24 doesn't sound as good as a MOTU 2408, then what chances do the Digi001 have of sounding remotely usable, except for basic demos? And you only get 24 tracks!! I wont even mention the midi specs available in NoTools...there aren't any.  I'm a Logic user! PS...by the way, Mr. T, what are you standing in between of? Is it 2 large racks of dodgydesign equipment that you cant sell?

Teiwaz. Come on now. You're being silly.
I do understand, though. I was in a terrible mood a couple of days ago and should have had enough brains to go for a walk instead of upset people. Ah, yes! Both you and I use PT so that explains it. Are you suffering from withdrawal symptoms? Sorry folks, that's a bit of topic. Teiwaz, if you'd like to have a nice brawl, you could open a ring in the open bar. Please do invite me. Hehe! (You wouldn't be from Lancashire would you?). -------------------- Without shit, we wouldn't be here ;)

I have been having a similar dilema. I have purchased an 828 and absolutely love it, mostly because it is firewire and can use it with either a laptop or desktop. DP is a very nice DAW, although maybe not as refined as pro tools. I have used both and think that DP has a learning curve that is a lot easier to overcome than pro tools. What's more, MOTU has tried to add similar features from PT into DP, making the migration easier for users of PT. That said, I will probably end up also buying a 002 for mobile recording but still keeping DP for my main desktop because of DP's ability to use HD and TDM hardware. It is difficult (if not impossible) to get PT to interface with MOTU hardware. PT is a little too proprietary for me, but I do like how refined and powerful the interface is.
The choice for you really comes down to how much extra gear do you want to haul around for mobile recording, if that is even a thought for you? With DP, you can cary a laptop, external harddrive, and an 828. Can't do that with the 001. But if you are recording in only one place, the decision needs to boil down to ease of use and power. DP does a great job, there are a mess of plugins for it, as there are for PT, the choice comes down to what you want in the future. |

Wise thoughts there Truthfind... Nice to hear from someone whose opinion is balanced... it makes a change compared to all those useless "Dodgydesign, huhuhu!!" "PT users are ****, hehe" smartass comments.
Thanks for participating. -------------------- |
