digidesing 001 and Sony Vegas

[David Sheneman]

I use the 002 with Vegas 5. All you have to have is the wav drivers from Digidesign installed on your computer and it works fine. You don’t even need to have ProTools installed on your system. It shows up as an ASIO device and you can record from any input – up to 18 total if you use the mic & line inputs, ADAT optical inputs and the coaxial SPDIF inputs simultaneously. I’ve recorded up to 16 tracks simultaneously (didn’t need the SPDIF input on that project) with no problems to an internal drive on a laptop (7200 RPM, though).

I haven’t tried the 002 control surface to see if I can get it to control Vegas through MIDI. Does anyone know if it’s possible to map the buttons, knobs & faders to control parameters inside Vegas? That would be cool. I know it supports the Mackie control protocol, but it also works with general MIDI commands as far as I know. Anyone know or have experience with it?

I have to correct myself a little. There are separate ASIO drivers from Digidesign that you must install. The wav drivers allow non-ASIO aware programs to use the 002 as input/output.

That should be very doable.
