And one big advantage for their popular via the difference. Digi will hurt you, yes, but not by adding PDC. After many items, Quick question I'm planning to the octopre. Quality preamps will stay with you no matter what you do down the road. For services or procedures not outlined in the install or user manual.
This feature is not available right now. The work around is to unplug the from your system and with nothing else connected, plug it into an independant outlet and switch it on, it will validate and verify the Digi Recording with Pro Tools control surface that eventually PT I want to use the eight inputs as expansion for a Digi , so I can have 16 inputs - the 8 analog ones of the , and the 8 via the ADAT input.
It s a need to 32 audio tracks at. Especially if the latency monitoring, noisy preamps. Both stock, haven't tried the BLA mod's. My engineer has a and im either gettin a or a sounds great but i jus wanna be ahead of the curve if the sounds fatter and warme. Sound from Digi and Digi Rack cannot be played through your computer s speakers or your computer s sound output. This guide is designed to give new users specific methods for accomplishing com-mon tasks with the Digi or Digi Rack desktop audio interface and Pro Tools LE soft-ware.
It is handled by Avid hardware. Pro Tools LE 6. When it comes to the higher end of the audio production world, there is no doubt that Digidesign's Pro. Digidesign's LE range has received a comprehensive overhaul in the last year, and the new flagship and Rack incorporate many improvements over their predecessors. Which is not very good plug-ins, and warme. Not qualified doesn't mean won't work and not supported doesn't mean won't work, but your operating system is so far ahead in time from the version of Pro Tools you have that won't work is the correct phrase in your case.
The Digi was the replacement to the outgoing Digi Thanks Mercer - I appreciate your thoughts and have read most of your posts regarding the Digi With multiple businesses and accolades across.

Rack Drivers Download Windows. Digidesign have produced a separate comprehensive MIDI Mode Guide to assist you to configure the ; it didn't get installed on my system and I couldn't find it on the install CD that came with the , but a quick search of the Digidesign web site soon turned it up. The 's control surface has undergone an overhaul with respect to its predecessor.
The outer ring of the wheel is a shuttle control. When you rotate the shuttle ring, it automatically puts Pro Tools into Shuttle mode, where you can play forwards or backwards at a variable rate, depending on the Shuttle position. The shuttle ring returns to the centre position no shuttling when you release it.
The Rack inherits many of the improved features of the , including its high-quality preamps. In this mode, you can move the Session transport and cursor forwards or backwards by small amounts, enabling you to find edit points by listening, like we used to have to do before the days of digital audio workstations like Pro Tools. The jog control also has a couple of other functions. It can be used to bank tracks to different faders: to scroll the display of tracks on the , you hold the Nudge switch and rotate the inner jog wheel clockwise to scroll tracks to the right or anti-clockwise to scroll tracks to the left.
It can be used to continuously zoom in or out horizontally or vertically on all tracks by holding down the Zoom button whilst rotating the wheel clockwise or anti-clockwise.
This caught me out for a bit, especially going from jog to shuttle and wondering why it didn't respond immediately. The 's arrow buttons haven't changed in function from those of the , but I did find a bug in Bank and Nudge modes, whereby Banking or Nudging to any group of faders other than the first eight made the cursor return to the start of the Session.
The had a set of LEDs arranged in an arc above the rotary encoders, which could either indicate the position of the appropriate rotary control or act as a level meter for that track. On the Digidesign have separated these functions; the encoder indicators now surround the encoders and the meters are vertical LED bar-graphs.
What is more, they have added an option whereby the bar-graphs can display the automation status for each track. I have to say, though, that I don't particularly like the shape and feel of the 's knobs. They are like upside-down top hats, where you get hold of the rim to adjust the control, and they don't sit well in my fingers. I prefer the knobs on the Command 8 and New controls include a Save button: pressing this switch twice is equivalent to choosing Save in the File menu of Pro Tools.
I had to check the manual on this one after I pressed it once, assuming that would do it, but the button simply flashed at me and Pro Tools didn't save. I presume the double press is to stop accidental pressing of the Save button, but for my money hitting Save should be as easy as possible! Pressing the Mem Loc button once will make it flash; the LCD display will show the first eight Memory Locations in the bottom row, and the eight channel Select buttons will flash. To select a Memory Location, press the appropriate flashing Select button and that Memory Location will be recalled.
If you have more than eight Memory Locations, you can display the additional pages by pressing the Left and Right Page switches. The features an Input switch that toggles between Auto Input and Input Only Monitor modes for record-enabled tracks. However, the display presents a confusing message when you press the Input button on the When you toggle it so that it is in Input Only mode, the display briefly shows 'AutoIn', and when you press the Input button again to put it into Auto Input, the display shows 'InOnly'.
I interpreted this as meaning Pro Tools was in Input Only mode, but in fact it is saying that the next time I pressed this button it would go into Input Only mode.
The same approach is used when you're accessing menu items from the the menu item displays what the state will be when you select it, rather than its current status. Like the same control on the , the Enter OK button is equivalent to pressing Return or Enter on the computer keyboard, and lets you OK on-screen dialogues or create new Memory Locations in Pro Tools directly from the control surface.
However, on this review model, which was one of the first two s in the UK, I found a bug with this. The first time I hit the Enter key to create a locate point on the fly whilst in Play, it created a point as expected, but subsequent presses of the Enter button on the were ignored.
If I then pressed the Enter key on the computer keyboard, the first press was ignored but subsequent presses on the keyboard did create location points. Once I used the Enter key on the computer, I then got one more go on the ; subsequent presses were then ignored I went back to the keyboard, and so on. I took up the bugs I found with Digidesign UK, and a quick call to the States confirmed that they are known bugs which are being 'fast-tracked' for extermination.
All being well, there will be an updater to cover them by the time you read this review. The new Default button can be used in conjunction with a Channel Select switch to reset a fader or fader-mapped plug-in parameter to its default setting. For example, you can reset a channel volume fader to its default level of 0.
Like most other interfaces in the LE Range, the Rack is available in two packages, called the and Factory, the difference being that the latter includes an iLok key and a bundle of plug-ins — see Digidesign's web site for details. The is only available in a Factory version. To coincide with the launch of the and R, Digidesign have also updated their free Ignition Pack software bundle. I am disappointed that the R isn't considered a Pro product, meaning you have to buy the Factory version to get Ignition Pack 2 Pro.
Digi have made it more difficult for people to install the Ignition Pack software more than once by requiring you to log on to their secure web site to enter an activation code.
The automation mode can be set from the for a single track, all selected tracks, or all tracks in the Session, and you can also suspend automation globally. This means that multiple LEDs light when there are channels with different automation modes. Digidesign have taken the extra features introduced with the M Box 2 Pro and rolled them into the and R. All of the new features make it easier to operate Pro Tools using the control surface rather than a mouse and keyboard, and will suit users who prefer a more tactile connection to their equipment.
Line input duties on channels are handled by the DI inputs. The extra pair of monitor outputs is a nice improvement. The is therefore definitely an improvement over the in all areas, but it's clearly aimed at new customers who would previously have looked at the , rather than being presented as an upgrade path for existing users.
In fact, Digidesign are offering a range of upgrade paths from all the LE hardware except the and R, so this could be a good time for users to benefit from a deal on an upgrade and get their hands on the new Ignition Pack 2 too see the box above. It is a shame that there isn't an upgrade path for R users; I will miss the word clock output when I am doing location recording work with my Octopre and R, but would struggle to justify the cost of a new R, especially as I wouldn't get the Pro version of Ignition Pack 2.
Fortunately, Digi have stated that the advent of the does not mean that users will be left behind, and that will be supported in the forthcoming Vista upgrade. If you want to run Pro Tools software, there are two obvious alternatives to the
