PRO TOOLS & MPC

Im thinking of getting the digi002 in the next week or so to sync up my mpc and computer and mix everything with my pc. My question is do I need to purchase a sound card also if my pc has the stock one it came with and which one is a good one and not to pricey and do I need the 8 outs on the mpc?????? THANKS in advance to whoever replys

If you purchase the 002 you do not need a separate sound card. The console acts as a mixer/external sound card. The mixer can be used with the software or a stand alone digital mixer. I saw the demo tour when digidesign came to my part of town. If you got the $ cop it. U wont regret it. Your PC must have a Firewire connection though, if not you may have to cop a Firewire pci card.

If you got the funds... I can't reccomend the Dig002 enough!!! You don't need a soundcard.. just make sure you have a firewire input like gambles said. The 8 outs is just a convience thing... I was gonna buy the outs board myself and get a Dig001. Its more of a speed issue than anything you can record 8 tracks into ProTools at once. I'll be fine just muting more of mine while tracking into PT.. then lining them up. Depends on your preference.. I'd say the outs board is a great purchase tho if your gettin an 002.

yea the firewire pci cards are not that much around 35 to 45 dollars. i really hope the rumor is true about digi design coming out with a firewire 001 ill be so sike!

Sup famekeyz... is that you from FP??? Yo, does the Mbox have a monitor out where I can run it back into my mixer.. and hear everything from my mixer's headphone out?
