Hello all. I am planning on buying the MOTU 828mkII to use in conjucntion w/my Power Mac G4. I've been researching what platform to run it on. What do all of you veterans think of emagic's Logic 5 Platinum? I was considering going with the Pro Tools LE 002. After doing some research on this I found you could get the same Pro Tools software with lesser Pro Tools hardware for dirt cheap.

:) Hi Sebatron ! I edited the boring history of why I am asking this question, sorry.

Is it desirable to have an input transformer that provides a maximum output, or is there a balance judgment between response, gain, and other things?

Hello fellow studio junkies. I am at a crossroads. I have decided to go Mac like most of you big boys out there.
Now the question is MOTU 828 via Logic 5 Platinum
or the Pro Tools LE 002 via Pro Tools (I think it comes with entry level)?
RecorderMan made a point about setting myself up for the future by going Logic since Mac now owns it.

Hi Sebatron ,

As a user and designer of audio equipment, one thing I always spend a lot of time wondering over is the control surface and "user-friendliness" of equipment.

What are your thoughts on the user interface of equipment?

I was just reading a reply by G-Dub on DP versus Cubase SX. I do run SX on the PC platform but have'nt taken the time to learn or understand what this system-link thing is all about. Could somebody bring me up to speed?

I've never had a chance to use one of these things, so i'm not sure what the effect actually sounds like. i do have an Aphex Aural Exciter (Type C) and think i understand it's principles of operation. (synthesizing harmonics)

I just bought a digi 002, which cam with pro tools, i also bought a new HP computer with Windows XP and installed a fire wire port in it. I installed pro tools fine but when i tried to install the digi002 as new hardware i had a problem.

Hi all,
