  • ProTools LE (Digi 002) and FCP?

    Posted by Bob Roberts on March 5, 2006 at 12:17 am

    Anyone using the firewire based ProTools solutions with Final Cut Pro? I’m looking at adding advanced sound capabilities to a system running FCP 5/Blackmagic HD Pro.

    Thoughts?

    I’ve got a similar setup. Works fine with PT version 6.9, I haven’t tried it yet since I upgraded to 7. I like it much better than the Decklink audio mainly because the output levels can be adjusted on the hardware. The Decklink output is around +8db (should be +4).

    Multi-channel monitoring works as it should but will occasionally need re-setting in FCP preferences.

    The only real problem (that version 7 may have fixed) is when the Mac goes into sleep mode, the Digi Core Audio manager will crash. It will re-start automatically, however, as soon as you OK out of the resulting dialog box. I think most people would just set prefs to “sleep never”. This also occurs when Pro Tools is running by itself.
