Which Pro Tools System Is Right for You? Digidesign Mbox 2 By Jon Schafer T here are certainly more than a few DAWs out there, and frankly, all of them produce the same end result. Granted, some are better equipped than others for some tasks, but they can all edit and mix audio and MIDI effectively. So what sets one DAW aside from the others? Quite simply, it boils down to workflow. By its very nature, Pro Tools already possesses an impressive set of tools that make navigating through a session amazingly intuitive. Pro Tools comes in two basic flavors — Pro Tools|HD and Pro Tools LE/M-Powered — each with a specific market in mind. With so many variations and options to choose from, how do you know which one is right for you? We’re going to show you. Plenty of Horsepower We’ll start at the top of the pile: Pro Tools|HD. The heart of any Pro Tools|HD system — aside from the amazingly powerful audio/MIDI software — is the HD Core card. A system with a single HD card is known as Pro Tools|HD 1, and it will handle up to 32 channels of I/O and guaranteed support for up to 96 simultaneous audio tracks, with no stress on the computer. The HD Core card houses a host of powerful DSPs that provide the dedicated mixing and processing horsepower audio professionals have come to expect from Pro Tools. Expanding the system’s dedicated processing power and I/O capacity is as easy as adding additional HD Accel cards. 006-007_101Guides_Pro Tools.indd 6 The next step is Pro Tools|HD 2 Accel. This system includes the HD Core card and an HD Accel card, offering more than four times the mixing and processing power of HD 1 systems, support for 64 channels of I/O, plus guaranteed support for up to 192 simultaneous audio tracks, again with no stress on the computer. The undisputed heavyweight champion in the world of Pro Tools is Pro Tools|HD Accel 3. The Pro Tools|HD Accel 3 system features the HD Core card and two HD Accel cards, supporting up to 96 channels of I/O and guaranteeing support for up to 192 simultaneous audio tracks, with no stress on the computer. Of the three core systems, this configuration offers the most power and flexibility, enabling you to complete projects more quickly and efficiently than ever before. If this still isn’t enough horsepower fro you, then you can add an Expansion Chassis, which will maximize your Pro Tools|HD experience by adding more Accel cards (up to seven cards are supported on a single HD system). The more cards you have, the more onboard DSP you have access to — there’s virtually no limit to what you can accomplish with a maxed-out Pro Tools|HD system. Aside from the staggering amount of simultaneous tracks available in an HD system, Pro Tools|HD also offers a completely customizable front end — you can choose the interface (or interfaces) that works for you. From the 16 channels of hi-definition I/O provided by the 192 I/O and the 192 Digital I/O to the 8 channels of I/O of the 96 I/O, there’s an HD interface that meets your studio’s needs. Also available is the 96i I/O, an interface that accommodates the connection of third-party outboard gear — keyboards, samplers, effects, and other line-level equipment — into your Pro Tools environment. Its 16 6/16/09 8:35:27 AM SWEETWATER’S ESSENTIAL GUIDES Digidesign 192 I/O Front-End Options Galore analog inputs provide balanced or unbalanced A/D conversion, using TRS 1/4" connectors. A S/PDIF port capable of 24-bit digital I/O allows you to connect professional DAT recorders, CD players, and other digital recording devices. MIDI and synchronization devices along with an 8-channel microphone preamp, are also available, to complete your HD rig. Pro Tools for the Home Studio For most of us working in home studios, native-based Pro Tools LE or M-Powered will suffice (“native” is shorthand for a DAW system that relies exclusively on the computer’s onboard processor and RAM for its audio production power). Pro Tools LE is only compatible with approved Digidesign interfaces, which fall into two distinct categories: the 003 y familyy and the Mbox family. Digidesign 003 Rack Built with Bands in Mind Pro Tools M-Powered is a version of Pro Tools that is compatible with select M-Audio interfaces. The really cool thing about this multiple-interface approach is that there are presently nearly 30 M-Audio interfaces that work with M-Powered, allowing you a wide variety of options to choose from when selecting your front end. This flexibility makes M-Powered one of the most versatile — and accessible — versions of Pro Tools around. The software remains largely the same between the different Pro Tools platforms, with the only differences being minor and likely not significant to most LE/M-Powered users. One feature enjoyed by Pro Tools|HD users that would be a welcome addition to the native-based family of Pro Tools is delay compensation. This allows you to perform common studio tasks, such as using external processing on a track(s) without experiencing an audible delay (which can cause the processed tracks to sound slightly out of time with the other tracks). Other than that, the software performance is nearly identical in both the HD and the LE/M-Powered versions. In fact, one of the coolest features of Pro Tools software, especially in this environment where home studios are so prevalent, is that any Pro Tools session from any version of Pro Tools is compatible with any other version — the transfer is seamless! Whether your studio needs the amazing power of a DSP-accelerated Pro Tools|HD rig; the convenient, streamlined I/O of the Mbox 2 family; the flexibility of the M-Powered series, there’s a Pro Tools system that’s right for you. Still not sure which one you need? Call your Sweetwater Sales Engineer. M-Audio ProjectMix I/O Recording bands takes multiple mics, at least if you want to do it effectively. Drum kits alone frequently need at least three mics — sometimes as many as seven or eight. Either way, a fair number of inputs are needed. Any member of the 003 family can accommodate band recording, though depending on the availability of outboard gear, some setups can do more simultaneous tracks than others. The flagship of the 003 family is the 003 Factory. This combination of FireWire audio interface and control surface provides four mic preamps, four +4/-10 line inputs, eight channels of ADAT I/O, and S/PDIF. That’s 18 channels of I/O available simultaneously, which is more than enough to handle band recording. The control surface portion of the 003 gives you hands on control over your Pro Tools mixes via eight faders, transport control, and other mixing essentials. The 003 Rack and the Rack Factory offer the same I/O sans control surface in a 2U rackmountable package. A more recent addition to the 003 family is the 003 Rack+ Factory, a unit that holds true to the 003 Rack form factor but adds four XLR inputs, simplifying the multi-mic setup by eliminating the need for four channels of external preamps. Any member of the 003 family is suitable for band-type recording projects. M-Audio Fast Track Ultra Portable Pro Tools Power A good option for smaller-scale recording projects (not to mention portable affairs), the Mbox 2 family ranges from the FireWireequipped Mbox 2 Pro to the USB dongle-sized Mbox 2 Micro. These more compact units easily fit into a backpack, letting you record anytime, anywhere. Perfect for the singer/songwriter, the Mbox 2 family offers more limited I/O, which is ideally suited for vocal/acoustic guitar-type setups. These devices can also accommodate larger recording tasks, provided you take on these projects in steps and overdub any additional tracks you may need. 006-007_101Guides_Pro Tools.indd 7 Digidesign C|24 6/16/09 8:35:50 AM 8 Pro Tools Call us today at (800) 222-4700 HD Sysstem ms FREE 30-DAY VIDEO TRAINING SSweetwater Exclusive — Get the Most ffrom Your Pro Tools System!
