Also like the 002, the 003 has digital and analog audio with 24-bit/96kHz support. The 003 adds extra controls, however, including a badly-needed jog/shuttle wheel. Like the 002, the 003 includes eight faders and rotaries for mixing, and dedicated transport controls. More info and comparison shots with the 002 after the jump. That said, though, the redesign looks decent. Oddly, Digidesign’s product manager claims the shuttle wheel “offers session navigation functions previously only found on high-end consoles.” Maybe I’m missing something, but I’m fairly certain you can navigate sessions in lots of audio and video software with shuttle wheels without a high-end console. Dedicated studio monitor output, plus alternate control room output (002 had only the studio monitor out).Assign plug-ins and sends directly from the control surface.Dedicated automation mode buttons for per-track automation (handy as you’re writing mix automation as you work).Other than cosmetic, the main differences here are relatively subtle: (The 003 only comes with the extra software, not without.)Īvailability: “Soon” (What’s with these vague ship dates, Digi?) 003 Rack US$1695 with factory bundle, $US1295 without. Pricing: 003 US$2,495 USD with factory bundle. And, most importantly, Digidesign has gone from charcoal trim to far-groovier white. These units run Pro Tools LE, just like their lower-end counterparts, but with greater control and audio I/O. The new release largely updates the control surface functionality Digi’s mid-range line. The Digi 002, both in control surface and rack versions, has gotten its successor in the form of the Digi 003.
