the a/d is still 24 bit regardless of the recording capabilities.. it could still be the same converters.

i'm not saying PT converters or worse then M-audio, echo etc.. i'm just saying they aren't better
cuz PT users get the feeling of superiority(which they are in a way cuz they can load up their files in virtually every studio and they got those damn bombfactory plugs that i hear are so great) BUT sonically they aren't A/D D/A wise... thats all
i'm not bashing just telling the truth
its basically like microsoft with 95- ME
they are all basically the same just increasing compatability as new things arise...digi 002 supports 96khz go figure

Linux Man...
BSOD
There is a BSOD for XP. It is rarly seen but I can make it come up like clockwork. If you telnet into a unix/linux box and paste more than 30 lines into vi it will overrun the buffer. At least it has on two systems with XP that i have played with. If that doesn't make sense, then um, just believe there is a BSOD in XP. It isn't pretty.

PS. I have no real comment about the 002 other than I wish they would have named it something else. That and maybe allow it to work with other software, but that wouldn't be digi now would it?

When I ran LE under Win98, it blue screened all the time.
When I run it under XP, it crashes a lot. And yes there definitely is a BSOD under XP, I've seen it on too many occasions but it's typically a symptom of bad hardware.
In any case, crashes in audio software are unacceptable to me, and like with any free software you get what you pay for.

Ah, I think you mean you're using Pro Tools Free, rather than LE? LE is what comes with hardware, like the Digi 001, etc.
The stability difference between LE and Free is night and day, esp. on PC.
I've not yet had PT LE crash (let alone blue-screen) on Win98 SE, which is what I'm still on. We'll see, but it hasn't happened yet.
Ham on Rye: "...it could still be the same converters."
You mean converters don't take into account sample rate as well as bit resolution? I thought they did ... otherwise, why would an external AD/DA converter that I have specify that it converts at 24/44.1 and 24/48, and requires that I choose one?

Ah, I see. I appreciate your clarification of what you mean, but it still seems you have a chip on your shoulder about Digi products (if Echo came out with a new thing, would you say, "yeah, but I bet it doesn't sound any better?" I don't know, maybe you would.). If it's because you think we PT users are status-conscious, let me assure you (and I attempt to speak for a majority of PT users), we're not. I chose Digidesign for, as you suggest in your post, collaboration with TDM studios; it's not about wearing a certain label on my shoes to be cool or whatever. It's about what suited my needs after exhaustive research.
Peace out,

Oy! Man I'm a freakin idiot, you are absolutely right, I was thinking of PT free. Sorry, please disregard my uninformed input!

hmmm...i dunno.
i want Digi002 converter wise to sound a lot better than my Aardvark Q10 or it isn't worth it.
It will be interesting to see how it is when it comes out. I'd like for it to be compared sound wise to Paris Pro 3 or something, that is "better than average".
I guess if not, there is always the separate A/D option....but, it just never feels right that way to me.
I want to buy the thing for the complete system. And I want to know that if I were using a Great River preamp with it...that it would be something worthy of plugging a great river into.
<sigh> who knows. It will have to be *good* to get my money...since what I have now is basically fine.
as far as firewire...I trust it...I think it is cool though, probably I would feel more secure with a PCI interface.
