This was similar to the Digi 003 but had terrible sounding pre amps that couldn't handle even a moderately dynamic vocal take. Not long before the Digi 003 M-Audio released The Project Mix. These only offered control surface capabilities that turned out to be rubbish. What Products Followed The Digi 003? The only products close to following the Digi 003 were the Avid Artist Control & Mix surfaces. I feel that no product since has followed in the Digi 003's feature rich footsteps. I still feel it was a shame that a Digi 00s were not developed after the 003 range. HD I/O systems with either a Control 24 or C 24 cost significantly more. Aspiring Pro Tools users, like myself, who were on a budget got a 003. The Digi 003 was the affordable option in the Pro Tools product range. The 003 wasn't budget but it wasn't completely unaffordable either. Pro Tools LE software & extra plug-in bundle (Ignition Pack) All of these features in a small design for less than £2,000. The Digi 003 was the perfect middle ground studio solution that meant we had the ability to record full band lineups with 16 inputs (using ADAT) directly into Pro Tools. The ability to connect two sets of monitors. Eight input/eight output audio interface. The Digi 003 Features I Loved.īrilliant control surface capabilities. At the time there wasn't any other all-in-one solution studio solution like the Digi 003 Factory. I still keep my 003 as a backup /interface. I owned both these control surfaces and absolutely adored them. The Digi 003 was the replacement to the outgoing Digi 002.

To start this series off I am going to be talking about the mighty Digi 003 Factory - released in 2007.
