Digi 002 for live mixing AND playing tracks
Hello there,
[disclaimer: sorry for asking dumb questions, I've done some research, but most likely I have overlooked some 'trivial' things ] Alright then .. I'm a keyboard player with ambitions to do some producing on the side for the bands that I play with right now. My current setup is a stage piano, a synth and last but not least: an Apple Powerbook. I'm interested in buying some new equipment, so that I can play additional tracks with live-gigs. Another thing I'd like to do is have a mixing console of some kind that enables me to combine both my 2 piano-lines and my 2 synth lines into a single pair of keys lines that will end up in the stage block somehow. So, I was looking into the Digi 002 rack version. It comes with ProTools, which would be good for making those tracks I mentioned earlier. So far so good .. Now, the thing is: will I be able to [1] play those tracks from ProTools, using output 1/2 on the Digi 002, and [2] use 4 additional inputs from my keyboards, mix them, and route them to output 3/4 on the Digi 002? I'm afraid that I will have to deal with latency, which would be very annoying when you're playin a live gig. I know there is a 'low latency' option in ProTools, but then I'd have to say goodbye to any plugins and inserts I would be using in ProTools for the tracks. Is there maybe a way to simply use the Digi 002 as a standalone mixer for the 4 lines of keys and output them on output 3/4 and do the playing of the tracks without the 'low latency' option? I've looked into the M-Audio 1814 as well, and I think the driver-dialog alone will let you mix the keys and output them to a separate output. But I'm not sure if I read everything the right way. If anyone of you could give me some advice I would be very greatful. Rens van Leeuwen |

Hey David,
thanks a lot for your reply (sorry I'm kinda late replying to your post). I did look into the MOTU 896HD, as you suggested. I have read lots of information about it so far, but I have read somewhere that the zero-latency mixing mode will only work for two inputs at a time. I haven't found a manual (yet) for the device, so I'm kinda stuck here with this question. Do you know if it's possible to have more than two inputs monitored with zero latency at the same time? Thanks in advance, Rens |
