Members The Cerastine Order Posted July 20, 2007 Members Share Posted July 20, 2007 If I bought an 002 or 003 system, do I have to use PTLE or can I continue to use Sonar or any other native DAW with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Lee Knight Posted July 20, 2007 Moderators Share Posted July 20, 2007 Some apps are supported but I doubt Sonar is. Check digi's website for a list. Honestly though, the only reason to get either interface is to have access to the software. There are better pieces if you don't plan on running PT. I'm a PT user and recommend it, but skip the 002/003 if you're going to stay Sonar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really want to condense to only what i need in the highest quality possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DontLetMeDrown Posted July 20, 2007 Members Share Posted July 20, 2007 Not sure about 003, but the 002 is supported in Sonar. I've heard there is a problem with the digi driver that forces you to disable miltiprocessor support though. FYI, the 002 or 003 are not what most would consider to be "highest quality possible" if ya know what I mean... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members blue2blue Posted July 20, 2007 Members Share Posted July 20, 2007 Yeah... if you want to work with another DAW, I think you might be better served by another interface. If you just wanted access to PT LE files for mixing and overdubs, you could go with something as basic as an MBox system. If all you needed was mixing and LINE IN (with a single mic pre but no digital i/o) you could even go with an MBox Mini system, which is really pretty cheap, and get a proper multi-channel i/o box for your "serious" work with your DAW of choice. There's also the PT LE for M-Audio route. I wouldn't say I personally have a high opinion of M-Audio but many people feel fine about them. There are yet a few more compromises with PT LE for M-A but it does get the PT logo on your shingle, if you need that. PS... re: Potentially dumb Pro Tools Question... The only dumb Pro Tools question would be the one you ask Walters... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members moguelator Posted July 30, 2007 Members Share Posted July 30, 2007 Why don't you try Project Mix I/O from M-Audio. It works great with protools m-powered, sonar and cubase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gus Lozada Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 I have a dumb PT question too. Our TV station uses a Yamaha 02R96, which is PT compatible. If I hook up a laptop to it, do I still have to use an M-box or some other piece of PT interface, or would the Yamaha be considered the interface? The 02R96 can be used as a control surface for Pro Tools. However it is NOT an audio interface for Pro Tools LE, HD or M-Powered. You WILL still need a Digidesign interface (any HD system, MBox2, Mbox2 Pro, Mbox Mini, 002/003 rack) or a M-Audio interface to get Pro Tools working on that computer and then, using the 02R96 as its control surface / mixer for the interface.
