Cool beans? Latah.

be sure to pick up something else like Digital Performer as a front-end for that 002 (or better yet, get a MOTU interface with more connectivity), or you'll be limited to 32 tracks.. which is a crime when you consider the power and expense of the computer you have listed.
 
James has a good point there. I use a 002 and it can get quite limiting the things Digi didn't put on the 'LE' systems. Oh yeah, hope your not doing alot of -midi-. Digi's midi SUCKS. For audio it's awesome, for midi...I'd go Digital Performer all the way! And Digital Performer works well with the 002R.
 
Well, I do want ProTools. I have an MBox and love it. I wouldn't mind looking into something could work WITH the 002R, but I'm definitely not just throwing it out all together. For the stuff I will be doing I will probably never even hit 30 tracks. For MIDI I use Cubase SX anyway, never figured out the MIDI in PT, lol. So I'll look into that thing you suggested. Thanks. Latah.

Wait, ok...so Digital Performer is what? I'm looking at it, and not getting it. As in not understanding how I would use it with the 002R. If somebody could explain please.

Also, later on down the line I plan on getting a ProTools|HD 2 system. For right now I just need to record some guitars, vocals, and classical instruments. 10 tracks at the most would even be more than what I'll probably use, heh.

Either way, DP4.5 is only like $500, so if after somebody explains it, and it makes sense, it's not like it costs a lot. Everything that I have looked at is just features and what it has in it. I don't care about that, I want to know what the hell it does. Yeah. Latah.

~006
 
Ok, well that makes sense. But still....how would I use it with PTLE and my 002R? Would I basically end up using the 002R as an interface FOR DP? Or what? I need some info. Latah.

~006
 
Ok cool. So it DOES work with PTLE though right? It seems as though everything is advertising it for use with HD systems. Just making sure.

Alright, so then DP will allow me to have how many tracks more than PTLE? Obviously more than 32...but is it unlimited? However many my system can handle? Haha. I plan on getting a UAD-1 PCI card for all of my plug-ins, so that my cpus won't even be bothered for the most part. I noticed that DP made a huge deal about how it handle's plug-ins better or whatever. The ability to use RTAS and Audiosuite plugs in DP is a great plus. And the extra tracks. Awesome. I'm sold. Thanks. If anybody can give me a track count, unless it's unlimited, I'd appreciate it. Latah.

Oooo, just thought about this. Eventually I plan on getting a Mackie Control Universal or possibly a Command|8 for my rig. Will there be a problem with using either of these with DP? Latah.

nope... DP will actually even be a bettah front end for your Mbox... for instance i'm sure you've noticed how in PTLE you can't lowah your hardware buffah below 1024.. which leads to noticeable latency... with DP in front of the Mbox you can easily lowah the hardware buffah to 256 or even 128, which is killah for the tracking stage of your project.. less latency while ovah-dubbing.. then raise it latah while mixing to get more "plug-in powah". i believe this flexability translates ovah to the 002 systems as well. and yes, you will be limited track-wise only by what your computah can handle. soonah or latah Digi will be need to eliminate that phony 32 track limit. talk to ya latah gatah, don't be a playah hate-ah

:tickled:
 
Lol. Awesome. Thanks guys, you really are helping me out a ton. By the way, I'm about to post a new list.

One question....the monitor (display) that I bought for my Dell, the connection is the same so that I can use it with a Mac right? Stupid question I'm sure, but it's good to ask right? Besides, I've already paid for this display, lol. Although the Mac displays are nice...they cost more than what I want to spend right now. Pizzle.

O.K. man. I'm kinda in the same boat your in. But, I have PTLE and I'm ready to move on. With D.P if you got the UAD-1 D.P. has a latency compensation feature. PTLE doesn't. Not as of today and prolly not next week either.
You can only use RTAS plug-ins in D.P. if you have TDM/HD D.A.E. It will not work in Native systems. I know this because I've asked around. Read up on the Command|8 make sure it'll work with what you decide to get if you buy it.
Go to Motu and read up on D.P.
Hardware interfaces? Motu 828MkII / RME Fireface 800 two good units. The RME has way better converters though.
I was a little nervous about D.P. But hey James uses and likes it. So it's gotta be great for Metal music!!!!!!!!!!! :rock:

So THATS why I have to mute my tracks when I record!! Damn, I'm dumb. It would always record in time with the music, but I could never monitor it while recording because there was like a 1s latency. I need to try that now. w00t. Mhmm.

Awwwwww crap. Wait, my Waves plugs aren't RTAS or anything, so I should still be able to use them. I have the Waves Gold 4.0 plug-in pack and the Rennaissance stuff too. Those should work in DP right? Latah.

~006
 
AWESOME, now I can monitor stuff. Thank you so much James, holy shit.

<--n00b.

not true, they have the same converters.. also the same as PT/HD. they all buy them from the same vendor. buy an Apogee Rosetta or a Crane Song Spider if you want better converters. the Spider offers a lot more for the money though.
 
Oh, btw, I can lower my sample rate to 256, 128 even. Thats what I just did and I did a quick test run with a guitar amp over some drums and it monitored with no-latency. I have a huge, shit-eating grin on my face right now, lol. I'm really happy. Thanks a million again. Latah.
