Andy.Fleming Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 Is Logic Studio going to work well with a digi 003 setup? I'm looking for versatility in a pro tools / logic setup.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Mayfield Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 You'd need to use the CoreAudio drivers. I've never had experience with them, but I have heard that they are not completely polished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy.Fleming Posted September 14, 2007 Author Share Posted September 14, 2007 It says in logic tech specs that is supports dae/tdm as well as core audio. I'm not sure what it is that the mbox and digi 003 uses. I know mbox has that core-audio interface, but I dunno about the digi 003. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 You need a core audio driver to use it with Logic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy.Fleming Posted September 14, 2007 Author Share Posted September 14, 2007 even with Lp8? How bad is it to use the core-audio drivers? I've heard it does not work well.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 In my experience it doesn't work well, I wouldn't choose a digi interface to use with Logic. But yes, that's the only option unless you have a DAE/TDM system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikkik Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 Hi! For now, on my MacBook Pro, I am using the built-in sound, and/or a Digi Mbox2 Pro. As mentioned, the Core Audio drivers are not the most efficient and kind, performance-wise. But, if you keep the system clean, you should only be a very slight step behind those with Lynx and others. Apogee fuelled users might have a good laugh tho...always easier to make whoopee with those already in your bed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lwilliam Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 The Digi003 will require Digidesign's Core Audio driver. It is usually an optional install when you run the PTLE installer. Otherwise, it's on the original disk or you can download it from the Digi site. It will probably work just fine. I've been using LP7.2.3 with my 002R and an RME interface as my main i/o. I actually only use the 002 interface as an expensive dongle or as a quick and dirty interface for demos. The RME is used for serious work, gets all the i/o and talks to the 002r via ADAT lightpipe. LP7 recognizes all 17 i/o, so I'm hoping LP8 will, too. My LP8 is arriving tomorrow, so I'll know more then. I have heard that the 003 is a much superior product to the 002 - in just about all specs. You only use DAE if you have TDM hardware. However, I understand that LP8 now works with TDM hardware on Intel Macs - LP7 did not. It only worked on the Motorola/IBM chips (g4/g5).
