I have been recording on 24 tracks of Adat with all outboard gear for a few years now. In the past 3 years I have setup a small DAW running Adobe audition with an EMU soundcard but I only have 2 inputs in this setup. It is cool for doing overdubs/laying down track ideas but the limited track input makes it where I have to track to adat and then transfer to my Daw. My soundcard doesn't have a lightpipe input so I have to transfer each track one by one and then re allign them manually off the click. It is extremely time consuming.
I have recently been searching for an option to get my track inputs up on my daw. I don't want to spend more than $400.00 and I don't need preamps since I have a big outboard console. I would like at least 16 inputs but more than likely I wouldn't be using more than 10-11 at a time. I was considering picking up a used Digi 001 but I have a few questions.
When using the Adat lightpipe input, can you use the other 8 analog inputs at the same time? So in theory, could I use the first 8 analog inputs and then use an Adat as an A/D to get 8 more channels into the software? I know the Digi 001's usually come with Pro Tools Le, will they function with normal pro tools software?
I am using a PC have there been any major compatibility complaints? I know the DIGI 001 is old but it is newer than my Adats that I am currently running. Any other options will be considered. Thanks for the info in advance.
