Hello

Has anyone succesfully connected a Soundcraft Digital 328 to a
Protools system? If yes, i would appreciate some help on the issue.

Thanks

You need to be more specific than that. Connected how, and to what
ProTools system, to do what? You can make a pair of analog connections
to an M-Box, but I suspect that's not all you want to hear.

Sample question: "What do I need to do in order to connect the ADAT
optical I/O on a Spirit 328 to a Digidesign 003?"

Sample answer: "Sure."

Sample question: "Can the 328 act as a control surface for ProTools"

Sample answer: "Gee, I dunno. I doubt it though."

Mike sorry, you are absolutely right. With the audio connections the
desk is beautifully connected

My problem is exactly with the Sample question No.2: "Can the 328 act
as a control surface for ProTools"

The option is definitely there. The Soundcraft website have a .pdf
specifically for the subject but at least in
my case they do not seem to be implemented that great.

I've got the faders moving, but that's it were joy stops.

If anyone knows anything more about it please do let me know.

Many thanks

That's the case with may control surfaces. I think ProTools was around
Version 4 or 5 when that console was designed and one of the things
that they keep changing is how remote control is implemented. And of
course the console has been discontinued for a while, which means that
sustaining engineering and support has been discontinued, so you
aren't going to get an update that converts it to the current HUI
standard.

You do what you can, and when you can't, you just have to reach
further. You might consider getting a Frontier Design Tranzport to use
as a remote control for the ProTools recording functions. It's cheaper
than a hair transplant job.

Yes, but i've been saving for a hair transplant job Dammit, again i
will sacrifice
looks for performance!
