Hi, Sorry I kind of worded that question wrong... I guess what I meant to say is what does the control surface make easier for us to access in the software? I'm sorry if I'm not making any sense here... I know it gives us access to plugins, but does it allow you to do much else besides using the faders for volume? I've tried to find a manual for it but haven't found anything, just a quick start guide that is not accessible. Sorry for the beginner questions here all... Chris Harrington

Hi Chris, Apologies if I'm wrong, but it seems your not familiar with the idea of a control surface? the 003 is an audio interface on one hand, so it can send your audio, analogue and digital in and out to the protools software. The questions you are asking are about its functions as a control surface. So the 003 can give you access to parameters of almost any plugin you open, for example, if you ope an equaliser plug in window, the 003 automatically maps on to its parameters, if the equaliser has more parameters than the 003 has dedicated physical nobs to control, then you can use a bank up and bank down button to move through the parameters that the 003 is cntroling. In addition the 003 has faders so you control the volume of tracks (also bankable) and there are many editing keys on it, and various combinations. If you read the mannual you'll get an idea on what it does. It can do some things that you can't achieve using voice over alone, and manipulating plug ins is one of these main advantages. However, its all dependent on how familiar you get with the 003 and how good a work flow you develop with it. So like most things, if you get fast and efficient at working o n it, it could be miles better for you than using a computer keyboard alone. Hope this helps, Brian. -------------------------------------------------- From: "Chris Harrington" <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, June 30, 2011 1:17 PM To: <[email protected]> Subject: RE: digi003 questions? > Hi, > Thanks for the tip, as far as plugin paremeters, are you talking about > say, > boosting lows in EQ, pulling back mids, adjusting the amount of reverb > that > goes on a track, etcetera?
