Success

I purchased the 001 to do some recording in my home. But as I read all of the post in the User Forum it seems to me that I've made a mistake in purchasing the 001. Is the 001 just a creation by DIGI to market the TDM system, sort of an expensive TDM demo version? I am becoming a little discouraged. I am currently building a sound booth in my basement but I'm wondering if I'm chasing a mirage. Can any enlighten me? If there are so many negative aspects of the 001, regardless of the price, why are there 20,000 001 owners here? Thanks, D. Williams

Doug you just pointed out something that is common here on the DUC. There are alot of whiners! I purchased my 001 almost two years ago and it was one of the best things I ever did. It does everything I want it to and I am pleased with the quality it gives me. I can do both Pro Logic and Dolby Digital Surround on it as well. The editing side is awesome and now we just got 32 tracks. I am very satisfied and when you start using it on a daily basis you will propably feel the same.

It's too bad you don't like your 001. There hasn't been a recording "trick" or "thing" of any kind that I've needed to do that I haven't been able to do with the 001 & Pro Tools LE. Of course, I don't need more than 24 tracks...but that's a different bitchy thread, now isn't it? --chiba

We use Digital Performer, Logic and PT. I must admit, DP on a Dually is sweet. But DP still cant do AudioSuite (offline) style processes as well as PT. I always come back to PT for its "no joke " operation and superior audio handling. We are all on the horizon of big changes in the audio world. My vote is: Even if we stayed at 5.1 in OS9- the 001 kicks ass. Remember, a few years back we were all using 4 -tracks. Now, even big budget artists have 001s at home to write with.

Jeez Louise- a genuinely, unaffectedly positive thread about the 001! Now I can die happy....
