Digidesign 003 Factory With Pro Tools 9

Posted on

I'm about 90% certain that the first thing you do is download the correct drivers for your interface, then load PT9.This is correct. And make sure you get the driver for the controller as PT9 now has separate drivers for the control surface(002/003) and the rack versions(002/003).

I have drivers for both installed on my system and have used both versions of 002, and the 003 rack and controller(1 interface at a time) and all have worked fine. You also may need to select a different driver for the firewire controller. While the Legacy drive is recommended, it didn't work for me, while the TI driver works great(and sometimes changing the driver to the wrong one, and then back, will actually help).

The 'Factory' moniker simply refers to a batch of plugins. The 003 controller is all the same, with or without the plugins(which come with an iLok to authorize them). You will need to register your purchase and update your iLok as PT9 requires iLok authorization.

Dumping my Roland VS2480 for Logic Pro and I need an audio interface & controller. I am looking for one complete package but so far I have not identified one. The new Mackie Universal Pro has 1 USB & 3 midi inerfaces but does not appear to have any audio interfaces, USB is not the way to go from what I have read. The Digi Design 003 has all the connections I need - yet all it mentions is Pro Tools vs being a viable alternative for Logic Pro as a controller.

If I could mash the 2 together I would. Any suggestions? I have about $2,500 to spend. I have a MAC Pro Quad, 4 GB Memory, 3.0ghz and 1.5 TB storage.

Hi There,I have just purchased a Digi 003 Factroy (not the Rack Version) to use with my MBP. I had the MBox before. It is 100% amazing. 100% Hands on in Protools 7.

It comes with some great plugs and the sound is way better than other equipment for that price.You can use all 18 i/o's with Logic should you choose that as main DAW. I am using it with both and but PT the most.You will NOT regret getting this thing.Look at it like this:The Digi 003 gives you Protools and Logic possibilities the Mackie only gives you Logic.Good 'Luck'.

HiI used to have a Digi 002 with control surface and now have an M-Box Pro and a Mackie HUI for the purposes of this discussion.The Mackie works fantastically with Logic as it was codesigned by the Logic and Mackie guys. It works better than the 002 control surface worked with Pro Tools.The Mackie also has HUI mode which allows it to control pro tools (still in a better way than the 002 did). You can get a 'pro tools overlay' ($20 or something) that shows which buttons do what in the HUI/Pro Tools mode. The modes are switchable.The USB cautions you have seen relate to audio and not midi, midi over USB is no problem. I've got the older Mackie which is midi only which is also fine and you can pick them up around $700. It does need a free midi in out though.The 003 (whilst pitched as a minor augmentation of the 002) does allow for a midi mode which allows the 003 control surface to control 3rd party software, but the software has to be mapped to the controller which is potentially quite a drag.

So there's no 'driver/personality' for Logic or Reason etc.I would say (and am currently thinking about) having the 003 non-control surface (rack) version and the Mackie as the best of all worlds. The MCU Pro (±$1200 midi & USB ) and the 003 rack $1299 would be one way. Or you could get the rack factory which has a cool plugin bundle for $1695 and the midi only Mackie MCU at around $700.
