PT is not at all well suited to what you want to do. Reaper is very good in general & more to the point way better than PT re it's routing & excellent VST capabilities. And the full no limitations vers is available for 30 days at no cost. PC or Mac. And a license costs WAY less than it is worth. http://www.cockos.com/reaper/download.php The digi 002 will work with it, tho IMO is is far from a good sounding unit. BTW i have no connection with Cockos/Reaper other than as a happy customer.

I have been looking around for a plugin, with not much luck. It appears SoundField have one, but I can;t find out if it is compatible with PT9 (only PT8HD or VST) I have just started teching at a venue with a pro tools rig, and while I despise it, I think I'm stuck with it for the time being. I am using a SoundField SPS422B system. I'm recording live classical music from solo instrumental, chamber (about 4-10 musicians) through to small orchestras (up to 100 musos) From what I can gather from the patch, the last technician used to take a stereo out from the SoundField processor, mix in any spot mics via a hardware mixer and record a 2 track audio mix to CD and Pro Tools. This looses so much of the value of the SoundField, and want to do better. While I don't have the gear to do surround at the moment, I would like to have the B format stuff sussed in stereo first so that I can upgrade later in the year. Basically what I need is: A way to mix any additional spot mics or solo mics into the B format universe A way to mix the B format from the soundfield and spot mics into mono/stereo (upgradeable to surround) All using pro tools 9. :( If Pro Tools isn't an option, what do you recommend that will work with a digi 002? (until I can upgrade and remove digidesign rubbish from my life all together) Thanks in advance.
