Has someone any experience with the Soundcraft SI3 or VI6 with ProTools?

I am busy to build a new studio and we have to buy everything from scratch. Lucky me :) We will do our recordings with ProTools and all material will be recorded on memory cards. Don't want any file on the computers to protect the data.

Do have seen a few days ago the Euphonix series 5 and worked a couple of hours with. It is a very nice console but the downside is the OS, it uses WINDOWS XP. They guaranteed me that it will not hang as a lot of DLL's have been removed. But I don't want be surprised during an important session to get a blue screen or that the HDD has crashed. It always happens one day.... Other big thing is the price, the console is not cheap at all... it is within my budget but I think I can find much better stuff for the same price... or even better, cheaper so from the money I save, I can buy more microphones... :)

does anyone has some ideas for me what to do.... best is to have a console that totally integrates with protools as euphonix does...

You may want to move this to the pro tools forum.

on a side note, you won't be able to record on memory cards with pro tools without a million and one errors. You need a dedicated drive 7200 rpm's Or an approved external firewire drive with oxford chipset.
 
Those soundcraft consoles are designed for live sound. They don't integrate with Pro Tools at all.
