digi 002 interface options! why so few?
So, are there only the 3 interfaces for 002 under $500? I have only found the ada8000, the alesis ai3, and the tango 24.
I need a 8 channel ad/da for a 002 rig. does anyone here use their old adats? do these interfaces just show up as an external adat device?
also I am looking to buy, so let me know what you have for sale.
thanks ryan

I may be in the minority, but it seems like three is a lot of choices to me. How much are you looking to spend? What different features do you want? 8 channels. A/D and D/A conversion up to 96k. Adat, spdif, and analog outputs? Only three choices?
I suppose you could buy adat's online, but something like the focusrite ocotpre (like, $500 or something) should be more than enough. Right?
Edit: I was just looking at your site. You have some nice stuff. Go with something a little more high end. Your recordings will be the better for it. Or you could go with the Alesis or SM-Pro and get them modded by Black Lion Audio.

thanks for the replys, I will be using this with pt7 digi 002 rack. all I need it for is to add 8 ins and outs i dont need preamps. I use an analog console so pres and aux sends are no problem. I had no idea you could use motu gear to do this. can someone tell me more. I have dp 4.6 as well so going motu would give me 32 ins and outs. and i use a 32 c hannel console. huh!
thanks ryan

you could use a 2408 to do this. Just use the CueMix software to route the 8 analog inputs to the first bank of ADAT outputs and the 8 analog outputs to the first bank of ADAT inputs. Then, connect the 2408 to your 002 and you're ready to go.marsrecordingstudio wrote:thanks for the replys, I will be using this with pt7 digi 002 rack. all I need it for is to add 8 ins and outs i dont need preamps.

alternatively, I've still got a Tango24 that I'd be willing to sell for $400, shipping included. I'd have to fire it up and test it again. I haven't used it in a while. But, it always worked great for me and it sounded great for a pretty inexpensive converter. I think it was around $750 new.

Check out the mackie onyx 800r. I'm only a novice so take it with a grain of salt, but I've been really happy with it. I don't have a lot to compare it to as far as sound quality goes because I haven't really had anything similar, but it's really solid and easy to use, has great features, and sounds good to me. Also check out the presonus digimax. If you look around, you've got way more options than just what you listed. It seems like more and more companies are coming out with similar stuff just recently.

Don't forget that you are still limited to the 18 inputs of the digi no matter what you get.marsrecordingstudio wrote:thanks for the replys, I will be using this with pt7 digi 002 rack. all I need it for is to add 8 ins and outs i dont need preamps.
