Hi Karen, The Digi 002 has long since been unsupported by Pro Tools. I'm thinking that might have happened some 12 years ago or more. For control surfaces, the best bet these days is the Avid S1, ideally paired with an Avid Dock. Each surface runs around $1,000 or a bit more.
Upgrade paths for Pro Tools are sometimes confusing at best. I'd highly recommend contacting Sweetwater and let them sort things out and explain your options. Flo Tools is virtually indispensable for any serious blind user but I wouldn't dive into it before you familiarize yourself with the current flavor of Pro Tools. It has changed dramatically from the version 6 days. For starters, I'd go through this free online resource for blind users provided by Berklee College of Music: https://ptaccess.github.io/ That should get you up to speed. Hope that helps for now, slau > On May 12, 2023, at 9:54 PM, Karen Lewellen <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi folks, > have been a major lurker because until now I had little reason to imagine > updating my pro tools license.
