Well,
I’m replying to my own post. Just for the record. I did a little research and if anyone is interested i think this might be a cool way to go:
Digi 002 rack. Gives you 8 inputs and pre-amps and runs pro-tools.
then you get the Tascam FW-1082 control surface. That will control Pro-tools in the Mackie HUI emuation mode. It will also control Final Cut Pro and Soundtrack and MIdi stuff in Motion.
Soo… You’d get the phenomenal focusrite pre-amps of Digidesign, Pro-tools functionality, plus Apple Studio functionality.
Best part is looks like you could bring the package in for around $1500.
That’s like $500 cheaper than the cheapest advertised 002.
Of course if the 002 would work with apple studio that would be cool.
I can’t seem to find any evidence of this. Knowing how jealous Avid/Digidesign are of their precious little softwares I’m guessing that this would mean no.
Anyone know for sure?
Dave
