Re: taking the plunge

[Nick Gawronski]

Hi, I would look at the guitar center stores as I got my digi 003 there 
on line and they are still around if you search for them. Mine came with 
an older version of pro tools but as I already had my pro tools 10 I did 
not use it but still have it and the ilok for that earlier version.  How 
much do you think I could get for that older ilok and the pro tools 
software version 8?  Nick Gawronski

ok. Here is the deal. I am upgrading my studio set up.
I have the mackie m c u pro control surface. I have a professional 
studio, I do all sorts of recording, including some full band 
recording. So I need a lot of i o. and lots of mic prees.

I have been thinking about the motu 869 mk 3 audio interface. It looks 
good, as it has 8 mic line press, and heaps of other things including 
an optical in and out. I have a focus right octopree, that I will run 
out of the optical to give me more inputs. But i don't know if this 
motu interface works with voice over on a mac. I like the motu because 
it also has gain nobs on each channel, and the gain control is not 
software controlled. How ever i've never seen one. Just read about 
them. I'm not sold on it, and i'm quite interested in looking at 
anything that will accomplish this task and meet my recording needs. 
But i'm a bit stuck as to just what is accessible. I don't want to 
fork out money, and find i can't access at least the basics.

From what i can gather, the divi 002 and divi 003 do not exhist 
anymore. So i can't buy one. Which is a bugger, cause they sound like 
a good option. Any thoughts welcome.

Well Steve, I would think about the Digi 002, 003 or avid artust 
series. The Digi 002 will be the cheepist, but if you need good built 
in preamps, it is the bottom of the line more or less. Also, the 002 
can work with Protools 11, but may not carry over to any versions 
after 11, I have a 002 and a 003 as well as the onyx 1620I. Are you 
going to use outboard pres or converters? Are you going to be 
recording professionally for clients, or for more personal stuff? 
These answers will make a difference. If you were recording for your 
self, you could probably get away with some of the UA apollo stuff 
and have some decent converters, pres and affects/plugs, but if you 
will have larger sessions where you would record multable sources at 
once then a control surface would be the way to go IMO.

    Hey Poppa bear. I was wondering if you could tell me what audio
    interface-soundcard you run with pro tools. I'm interested to
    know what you rrun , as I'm about to upgrade, and need more
    advice on choosing something, that will take care of all my audio
    needs, and is accessable.
    I've bought a mac book pro, and am learning voice over, and I
    love it.
    Hoping to start investigating tools in a couple of months

    Hello Steve, this is Poppa Bear from the midi list, glad you made
    it over here, Chris Smart is over here now and a couple others as
    well. Slau gave you a good solad bottem line answer. After almost
    two years with PT, I can't see myself going back to Sonar for
    recording/engineering. I can't speak on the music production side
    as much because I am mainly running PT to record, mix and master
    my clients now.

        Hi Steve,
        Welcome to the list. I can't comment on the comparison to
        sonar as I've never used it. I've used Pro Tools since around
        2001 after switching from an analog console and multitrack
        tape machine. I won't sugarcoat it: you have a steep learning
        curve in front of you. You'll need to understand VoiceOver
        like the back of your hand as well as have a good grasp of
        the OS and how it works. Aside from that, Pro Tools is
        undoubtedly a complex program but so is Sonar and you learned
        that over time so, most importantly, you'll have to plan to
        spend a bunch of time learning it if you decide to go down
        this path.
        Cheers,
        Slau

        Hi. My name is Steve Sparrow. I have just joined the list
        here. I am very seriously considering working with pro tools.
        I am currently a sonar user running sonar 8.5 with jaws. I am
        now considering pro tools, mainly because as we know the
        current sonar is no longer as accessable as it was. I have
        not bought a mac yet, but I think I'm getting very close to
        doing so. I know a little about voice over, and would be
        happy to put the time in to learning it. But I have never
        used pro tools and no nothing of it's workings. So not really
        sured just where to start. I guess the first thing to find
        out is just how much access we have. I run a recording
        studio, and use sonar just about all the time. Does pro tools
        give us as much accessability as what I am used too in sonar.
        I am quiet happy to put the time in to learning a new system,
        if I can turn it in to a good solid work horse. I also use a
        lot of waves plugins. mainly waves API, and ssl 4000
        colections. I also use a free analogue emulater called
        endorphin. Do these programs work with pro tools, and can we
        get to the main perametres.
        A lot of questions.
        Cheers Steve
