#Digi 003 standalone pro
I agree: four more mic pres, and compatibility not only with Pro Tools M-Powered but lots of other software, as well, from Ableton Live to SONAR. idreaminsound points out that, sexy as the new 003 is, M-Audio’s ProjectMix I/O compares nicely. They’ll also crossgrade owners of Nuendo, Cubase, and SONAR who also have an audio interface, though knowing how loyal DAW users are, we’ll see how many people take them up on it.
#Digi 003 standalone upgrade
I don’t see nearly enough here for existing 002 users to upgrade, but if you’ve been looking for a way to upgrade lower-end or older, incompatible Digi gear, now’s the time: Digi will have a new upgrade program called the Turbocharge Exchange program. Curiously, there’s no mention of the 003 functioning as a standalone mixer, only as a standalone MIDI controller hopefully they didn’t nix that feature.

That’s 8×8 analog, 4 mic pres, 8-channel ADAT and 2-channel S/PDIF digital, plus (apparently new on the 003, though 002 users can confirm this) BNC word clock. Also like the 002, the 003 has digital and analog audio with 24-bit/96kHz support. The 003 adds extra controls, however, including a badly-needed jog/shuttle wheel.

Like the 002, the 003 includes eight faders and rotaries for mixing, and dedicated transport controls. More info and comparison shots with the 002 after the jump.

That said, though, the redesign looks decent.

Oddly, Digidesign’s product manager claims the shuttle wheel “offers session navigation functions previously only found on high-end consoles.” Maybe I’m missing something, but I’m fairly certain you can navigate sessions in lots of audio and video software with shuttle wheels without a high-end console.

#Digi 003 standalone driver
Apparently, that will give me the driver I need to get my 002 Rack to work with Logic 9. I read on some other forum that Digidesign no longer supports Logic 7 and the only way I can get a driver that will allow Logic 9 and the 002 to work together is to purchase Protools 9. I cannot get my 002 rack to work with Logic 9 at all. Here is my issue, I can get Logic and the MBox 2 to work together. I am using a MacBook with 10.6.7 (I believe it's called Leopard. I have, and occasionally use Protools 7 and my hardware includes a MBox 2 and a 002 rack. I purchased Logic 9 because I absolutely adore it. I have an issue I was hoping to send your way for advice.
