Nick,
With all due respect, I tend to disagree with you on one point you made.
Yes, hardware can fall apart. I'll gladly grant you the fact that unless it
was physically abused, it's very rare, but I have seen it. I had a mixer
back a few years ago that I was tracking some stuff with, and the damn
master fader S O B fell right off in my hand. Oops? And what's worse is,
it did so in such a way that the master was all the way up! Youchie! Trust
me, you haven't lived! 'til you hear positive 20DB through a set of jvl
monitors. I thought I'd blown my ears there for a split second.
Chris.

Hi, First of all and you can take it how you wish I would never! and I
mean never! buy any equipment that had missing parts. True it just might
be that part but how do you know for a fact that nothing major was done to
it as from dealing with equipment before parts don't just fall off
devices. Also, is anyone using any of the thunderbolt interfaces and are
there any that don't require any external power to run them and can go up
to 96 KHZ? Nick Gawronski

Is the Focusright interface you mention simply just? an interface, or
does it also function as a control Surface? I've thought of getting a
Digi 03, but seeing that they're not made anymore, I don't want to get
something, then it crap on me. I'd want something which could be
replaced, as now that I'm getting very very serious with my PT stuff, I
want to consider what is gonna give me the best access, along with the
best and cleanest sound closest to the commercial grade Nashville sound.
If the Focusright doesn't do both, is there an interface maybe you all
could recommend which would be good for a beginner? Remember, I'm
probably not as far along as most of you are with PT. I could never
musically at this point in time compare to Kevin Reeves, nor to Slau, or
some of the other pros on this list. Don't get me wrong, I'm decent, but
I'm still definitely probably not commercial grade by any means. I need
a lot of work. At least I'm now however willing to stop denying it, and
admit it. I probably don't need more than maybe 4 channels. My workflow
is basically just maybe 6 or 7 virtual instrument tracks, and maybe 3 at
most backing vocal tracks, pushing it, and one lead vocal track. So, 8
PT tracks, of which probably only 4 of them are audio tracks. I spoke to
sweet Water about maybe looking into getting me set up with a surface,
and my sales rep is looking into it more for me, but if you all could
recommend something accessible which I could suggest to him we look into,
it definitely would help us both out. It would need to be USB, as the
mac I use doesn't have Firewire nor Thunderbolt.

I'd go for the focus right Scarlet 18 I 20. I don't trust M Audio
anymore, as they've begun to crapify their build quality.
As a trainer for the state of Illinois who teaches pro tools, we order
nothing but these scarlets and they are completely rock solid.
The mac Control panel isn't accessible, however the files are basic XML
so I think they can be edited by hand. I have access to folks who can
make a control panel config file with any setting you need changed. I was
also made aware of the fact that the control panel is accessible on
windows a bit, but I can't verify that.
If you want to go the mixer route, there's always the Mackie Onyx stuff.
I own one of those and love it for Pro Tools.
Hope this helps.
Kevin
