Hey..
I'm buildin this new studio and have narrowed down to MOTU 828 MK 2 as the Audio interface for Nuendo 3.

Hey everyone...this is a mutiple part question...

Right now I run an FW1884 with CubaseSX2 on an iMac G5. CubaseSX is what I've been using for a few years, but it seems unstable on both Mac and PC. I'm also not totally satisfied with the FW1884, and it could be my error, but it just doesn't sound very good no matter what room treatment, mic set up, pres, or instruments I use.

I am very new to DAW.

I know this might start a flamewar, but I like the rack cause it uses Pro Tools (more classes/books/videos), but I like Fireface since I hear that it might have better AD/DA.

Does fireface have that much of a better AD/DA?

What I have:
Korg Triton Extreme 88
Event ASP8
Neumann 103
Athlon 3200, and a 3700 with 1 gig and 2 gig systems

What I need:
To record my wife, and also record (pass through) the spidif from triton to DAW

I have Just started to mess with Reason Adapted which I got included with my software when I bought my Digi Design 002 Rack however when I launch Reason adapted when I have Pro Tools running it informs me that another program is using the Midi port after I have previously told it (when running it without Pro Tools Running) to use the Digi 002 Port 1 to play into Reasons Sequencer and Digi Port

hi guys i was wondering how would control|24 would work with Digi 002. i mean how will it get its inputs or outputs. . cuz control 24 has 25 D-sub connector for inputs and outputs i think...so can any one guide me through this.

Am about to step my home studio up to 24/96 and my choices are:

1) DigiDesign 002

2) Apogee Mini-Me coupled with M-Audio Firewire Audiophile & M-powered Pro Tools

Any opinions?

Thanks!

Hey everyone. I'm considering a 002R, but I wanted to find out a few things.

Is anyone running the 002R on an iMac? Does it run nicely for you?

Does PT have a latency makeup for running outboard gear?
