Specifications

The 003 Factory from Digidesign is a complete and full-featured Digital Audio Worksation (DAW), comprising a control surface/mixer with analog, digital and MIDI input and output, along with Digidesign Pro Tools LE software. The whole system communicates with a computer via a single FireWire cable. Together, the system provides everything needed to capture, edit and output high quality audio with the user needing only to provide microphones, monitors and a computer.

The control surface provides 8 touch-sensitive faders, 8 assignable knobs, 10 scribble strips, and a complete control section, in addition to 4 microphone preamps with phantom power and individual high-pass filters. Transport controls and the usual solo, mute, and select/record arm switches are also included.

In addition to 8 high-quality analog I/Os, the 003 provides 8-channels of ADAT LightPipe I/O (48kHz maximum), 2 channels of coaxial S/PDIF, Wordclock I/O and MIDI I/O. The unit ships with 2 headphone outputs with individual source and level control, in addition to a studio monitor output, plus alternate control room output.

The Pro Tools 8 LE software offers 48 tracks of simultaneous record and playback, 256 MIDI tracks, real-time (RTAS) plug-in support as well as AudioSuite functionality, and a host of additional editing and mixing features. A comprehensive selection of DigiRack plug-ins is included covering everything from virtual instruments, EQ and dynamics, through delays and pitch shifting, and more. The software is cross-platform and sessions created on this system are fully compatible with higher-end Digidesign's Pro Tools HD systems.

Also included is a "Factory" bundle of 16 virtual processors that consist mostly of essential dynamics processors, filters and time-based effects.

Note! A separate, dedicated FireWire hard drive (with Oxford chipset) for the audio data is highly recommended.
