Digi 002 Basics
Introducing Digi 002, Digidesign's first FireWire-enabled
Pro Tools workstation to include an integrated control surface. Digi 002 offers
novices and pros alike hands-on command of any project, easy connectivity via
FireWire and integrated I/O, portability, dual mode functionality, and full
session compatibility with other Pro Tools systems, from Mbox to Pro Tools|HD.
In addition, Digi 002 features a 32-track Pro Tools LE interface based on the
same award-winning software used by professionals worldwide. With its spectrum
of features and affordable price point, Digi 002 is without peer in the audio
production world.
The Essentials
Digi 002 is a full-featured
studio-in-a-box that works with your Window XP Home or Mac OS9.x computer to
give you all you need for superior MIDI and audio production. Comprised of a
single unit that includes a comprehensive control surface along with analog,
digital, and MIDI I/O, Digi 002 communicates with your computer via a single
FireWire cable (included). Pro Tools LE software comprises the final component,
offering 32 tracks of record and playback, 128 MIDI tracks, real-time plug-in
support, and a host of additional features. From beginning to end, Digi 002
places you in an ideal position to realize any project.
Enhancers
While Digi 002 is fully functional in and of itself, many
products are available to increase the scope and performance of your Digi 002-based
Pro Tools LE environment. Although many plug-ins are included in the 002 package,
other high-powered RTAS (real-time) and AudioSuite (file-based) plug-ins, designed
and built by Digidesign and our Development Partners, are available for virtually
every signal processing, sound design, and specialized editing purpose. These
software applications work in conjunction with Pro Tools in both non- and real-time
formats, emulating and often improving upon the hardware counterparts that they
frequently emulate.
The addition of a FireWire drive is also a wise choice,
improving the performance of your system by virtue of increased throughput and
data transfer speeds. And you always have access to upgrades and updates to
Pro Tools LE software, typically available for free to registered users, as
we continue to develop new ways of improving your Pro Tools LE experience.
Software Features
Audio
Digi 002's Pro Tools LE software enables you to record
and play back up to 32 tracks of audio at sample rates of up to 96 kHz. As soon
as your audio enters Pro Tools, it enjoys a 24-bit signal path. Coming or going,
the sound involved with your sessions also benefits high-quality signal converters
(A/D and D/A), ensuring the quality of your signals. Of course, Pro Tools enables
you to determine the quality of your audio as needs demand — you can always
determine the bit rate and sample resolution of a given session in advance.
But, it's always nice to know that you have the option of high-end fidelity
at your disposal.
Mixing
With Digi 002, we've made mixing extremely easy on your
eyes, ears, and hands. You can use either Digi 002's integrated control surface
or the Pro Tools LE software interface to tweak every component of your mix.
They share information, so what you do on one is instantly reflected on the
other. As your computer's processor transparently crunches mixing data, you
guide the mixing process via either the intuitive Pro Tools LE user interface
or the Digi 002 control surface, or both. However you choose to operate, Digi
002 and Pro Tools LE software present you with a variety of methods to control
and automate your mix, all within a non-destructive, recovery-friendly environment
geared toward rapid, superior results.
MIDI
Similar to its audio features and capabilities, Pro Tools
LE's integrated MIDI environment gives you full control over the MIDI components
of your projects. MIDI events and sequences can be manipulated as easily as
audio, eliminating the need to learn yet another operational paradigm. Pro Tools
LE software supports the import, creation, and export of MIDI data as well as
multiple MIDI device protocols. Regardless of the amount of MIDI you involve
in your projects, you'll be surprised by Pro Tools LE's friendly, comprehensive,
integrated MIDI environment.
Editing
Pro Tools' editing capabilities are such that they have
become the standard by which all competitors' efforts are judged. This phenomenon
has everything to do with two factors: ease-of-use and magnitude of scope. Just
as with Pro Tools TDM software, a single screen within the Pro Tools LE interface
— the Edit Window — enables you to adjust literally every aspect of
both audio and MIDI data at sample level resolution. Trim waveforms, reprocess
regions of audio, pitch-correct a compromised performance, replace drum sounds,
rearrange song sections on a whim — Pro Tools' non-linear approach to editing
enables you to act instantly on your decisions without having to commit to them.
And with tools like SoundReplacer available for the Pro Tools LE application,
there's always a tool available to fix what is — or isn't — broken.
Plug-Ins
Plug-ins, add-on software-based tools that work in conjunction
with Pro Tools LE, are paramount to the effectiveness of our platform. Plug-ins
facilitate and embody everything from dynamics to effects to sound design, often
improving upon the hardware counterparts and equivalents that many emulate.
To use plug-ins, you simply instantiate (or activate) them within the Pro Tools
interface. At that point, you are free to employ presets, customize settings,
and/or automate a given plug-in's activity within a mix. Unlike outboard gear,
you can use your plug-ins on multiple tracks, with multiple settings.
Pro Tools LE-compatible plug-ins take two forms: RTAS
and AudioSuite. RTAS (Real-Time AudioSuite) plug-ins afford you all the benefits
of real-time processing and can be assigned to multiple tracks as frequently
as you like within the limits of your system. AudioSuite plug-ins are non-real-time,
and once applied to your audio, result in the generation of a new audio file
with the processing intact. Of course, you also have the option of saving your
original file.
Mastering
In addition to providing an ideal recording, editing,
and mixing environment, Digi 002 also affords you the opportunity to add the
finishing touches to your projects through mastering. Editing capabilities and
plug-ins used in conjunction with the Pro Tools LE software interface enable
you to make the necessary fine adjustments to your final mix to achieve the
perfect combination of warmth, presence, and balance. Alternatively, Digidesign's
MasterList CD, a software application specifically designed for mastering tasks,
can be used to master a single piece or a collection of work with professional
results. (MasterList CD is available for Macintosh only. There are many off-the-shelf
options for PC users to produce Red Book-compatible CDs from their final Pro
Tools mix.)
Digi 002 Hardware Feature
Overview
Complementing the intuitive, comprehensive software components
of Digi 002 is a unique and innovative hardware configuration that provides
