沒想到 Digidesign 又發表新的錄音界面了，而這次是使用 FireWire 傳輸技術的 Digi002，除多了96kHz 支援外，增加了控制台方便錄音混音時的操作。看起來規格不錯，有 ADAT in/out、8 AD/DA、MIDI in/outs 和 4個 mic preamps。考慮中低價位 ProTools 系統的人不彷等等看。 <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR> Digidesign Announces Digi 002 FireWire Interface with Control Surface July 18, 2002 -- Digidesign has unveiled the Digi 002 -- a FireWire-based mini studio that offers functional options and flexibility. Digi 002 features FireWire connectivity, a touch-sensitive control surface, 24-bit clarity and up to 96 kHz sample rate support, and Pro Tools LE 5.3.2 software for both Windows (XP Home) and Macintosh (Mac OS 9.x). Digi 002 provides the means to create everything from demos to remixes to radio spots. Its analog, digital and MIDI capabilities enable Digi 002 to handle a wide variety of I/O configurations, while dedicated monitor and headphone outputs allow you to keep a close ear on progress...all with a simple, single FireWire interface to the host computer. What really sets Digi 002 apart is software and hardware access to the intuitive power of Pro Tools. Borrowing the same technology found in Digidesign's Control|24, Digi 002's array of touch-sensitive faders, rotary encoders and LCD scribble strips give you tactile and visual command over nearly every Pro Tools LE feature and parameter, including plug-in manipulation. Additionally, the single-box design includes all inputs and outputs. For live applications, Digi 002 can be uncoupled from Pro Tools and used via stand-alone mode as an 8x4x2 digital mixer with onboard EQ, dynamics, delay and reverb. Digi 002 Key Features: * FireWire Connectivity * Integrated Control Surface * 96 kHz Compatibility * 8 analog inputs including 4 mic pres with HPF, 48V and variable gain. * 8 analog outputs plus separate monitor, headphone, and --10 dBV RCA outputs. * 8 touch-sensitive faders, 8 motion-sensitive encoders, and 10 four-character scribble strips for individual track parameters. * MIDI I/O -- 1 IN port, 2 OUT ports (16 channels IN/32 channels OUT) * 8 channels of ADAT optical I/O, 2 channels of S/PDIF I/O * >108 dB Dynamic Range; >98 dB (0.002%) THD+N * Ships with 32-track version of Pro Tools LE software Digi 002 ships with Pro Tools LE 5.3.2 software as well as bundled plug-ins, offering more power and flexibility than ever before including up to 32 tracks. Base price on the Digi 002 (which includes bundled plug-ins) is $2,495. Digi 002 is expected to ship in Q3 2002. For more information, visit their web site at www.digidesign.com. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
想請問大家一件事一直困擾小弟, 為什麼大家需要那麼多軌？24軌還會不夠嗎？一般個人工作室不是都用MIDI,最多錄個vocal和吉他,怎麼會用到超過24軌？還是大家做的東西不一樣？要是流行歌也用那麼多讓人也不懂,一堆synths應該也不 用分軌錄超過32吧？
