If you have the MCU and the Focusrite peace, you have enough to get up and running I'm thinking. From there, alot of your choices are going to be bassed on preamp, and converter taist. ----- Original Message ----- From: Steve Sparrow To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, April 11, 2014 9:28 PM Subject: Re: taking the plunge
do they also work with a pc, or are they only for pro tools use. Not really a problem either way, but interesting to know.

Mine came with an older version of pro tools but as I already had my pro tools 10 I did not use it but still have it and the ilok for that earlier version. How much do you think I could get for that older ilok and the pro tools software version 8? Nick Gawronski On 4/11/2014 9:27 PM, Steve Sparrow wrote: ok. Here is the deal. I am upgrading my studio set up. I have the mackie m c u pro control surface. I have a professional studio, I do all sorts of recording, including some full band recording. So I need a lot of i o. and lots of mic prees. I have been thinking about the motu 869 mk 3 audio interface. It looks good, as it has 8 mic line press, and heaps of other things including an optical in and out. I have a focus right octopree, that I will run out of the optical to give me more inputs. But i don't know if this motu interface works with voice over on a mac. I like the motu because it also has gain nobs on each channel, and the gain control is not software controlled. How ever i've never seen one. Just read about them. I'm not sold on it, and i'm quite interested in looking at anything that will accomplish this task and meet my recording needs. But i'm a bit stuck as to just what is accessible. I don't want to fork out money, and find i can't access at least the basics. From what i can gather, the divi 002 and divi 003 do not exhist anymore. So i can't buy one. Which is a bugger, cause they sound like a good option. Any thoughts welcome.

The Digi 002 will be the cheepist, but if you need good built in preamps, it is the bottom of the line more or less. Also, the 002 can work with Protools 11, but may not carry over to any versions after 11, I have a 002 and a 003 as well as the onyx 1620I. Are you going to use outboard pres or converters? Are you going to be recording professionally for clients, or for more personal stuff? These answers will make a difference. If you were recording for your self, you could probably get away with some of the UA apollo stuff and have some decent converters, pres and affects/plugs, but if you will have larger sessions where you would record multable sources at once then a control surface would be the way to go IMO. ----- Original Message ----- From: Steve Sparrow To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, April 10, 2014 9:43 PM Subject: RE: taking the plunge Hey Poppa bear. I was wondering if you could tell me what audio interface-soundcard you run with pro tools. I'm interested to know what you rrun , as I'm about to upgrade, and need more advice on choosing something, that will take care of all my audio needs, and is accessable. I've bought a mac book pro, and am learning voice over, and I love it. Hoping to start investigating tools in a couple of months Stgeve From: [email protected][mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf OfPoppa Bear Sent: Thursday, March 13, 2014 1:58 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: taking the plunge Hello Steve, this is Poppa Bear from the midi list, glad you made it over here, Chris Smart is over here now and a couple others as well. Slau gave you a good solad bottem line answer. After almost two years with PT, I can't see myself going back to Sonar for recording/engineering. I can't speak on the music production side as much because I am mainly running PT to record, mix and master my clients now. ----- Original Message ----- From: Slau Halatyn To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, March 12, 2014 7:08 AM Subject: Re: taking the plunge Hi Steve, Welcome to the list. I can't comment on the comparison to sonar as I've never used it. I've used Pro Tools since around 2001 after switching from an analog console and multitrack tape machine. I won't sugarcoat it: you have a steep learning curve in front of you. You'll need to understand VoiceOver like the back of your hand as well as have a good grasp of the OS and how it works. Aside from that, Pro Tools is undoubtedly a complex program but so is Sonar and you learned that over time so, most importantly, you'll have to plan to spend a bunch of time learning it if you decide to go down this path.

I have just joined the list here. I am very seriously considering working with pro tools. I am currently a sonar user running sonar 8.5 with jaws. I am now considering pro tools, mainly because as we know the current sonar is no longer as accessable as it was. I have not bought a mac yet, but I think I'm getting very close to doing so. I know a little about voice over, and would be happy to put the time in to learning it. But I have never used pro tools and no nothing of it's workings. So not really sured just where to start. I guess the first thing to find out is just how much access we have. I run a recording studio, and use sonar just about all the time. Does pro tools give us as much accessability as what I am used too in sonar. I am quiet happy to put the time in to learning a new system, if I can turn it in to a good solid work horse. I also use a lot of waves plugins. mainly waves API, and ssl 4000 colections. I also use a free analogue emulater called endorphin. Do these programs work with pro tools, and can we get to the main perametres. A lot of questions.
