Im running Nuendo 2 on a MAC G4 at the moment and I am thinking in the long run that I will want to get into Pro Tools HD.
I am enrolled to take a Pro Tools 101 Class in the Fall 2007.
I know they will have some MBox's provided for class, but I was considering buying a simple Mini MBox or something for home so I can use it outside of class for practice and whatnot.
When I consider the price at around $299 and the possibility of eventually switching over to Pro Tools anyway, I am wondering if I should just spend a little more and get the Digirack 002 for $999 which I am told could interface with my existing RME/Nuendo 96k 8 I/O AD/DA Converters via ADAT. Then I would have a functional Pro Tools LE recording setup.
As far as Nuendo 2 is concerned, I dont have anything crucially specific to that program that would scare me from leaving it for another program.
Most of my plugins and such will carry over to Pro Tools LE.
So I guess my question is would it be worth the switch from Nuendo 2 to Pro Tools LE? Quality and capability wise?
It seems like the Recording Industry is Pro Tools driven and I would be more adaptable in studio situations being a Pro Tools user than using Nuendo which has been fine for home use.
My main gripe with Nuendo is merely some of its performance issues and a few concerns with the Nuendo 96/52 audio card which I think is giving me some latency clicks and pops on guitars. Just tired of trying to fix little issues and want a solid system.
My normal plan would have been to Upgrade to the Newest Version of Nuendo when it comes out which I assume is going to be $700 anyway.
I could pay $999 now for a new Digirack 002 and wait a few years to build up my cash for an HD setup later.
Any advice from users who may have experienced both Steinberg and Digidesign setups?
