vonsmear	Date: March 18, 2003 @ 2:53 PM Personally I don't think it is enough of an improvment over the 001, to account for the $1800 price jump. You have a few more options, and you get the automated faders with it. Also it has spdif/opt/midi thru etc, but I don't think the common Pro Tools LE user, uses that stuff anyways. There's only two more preamps on it than the 001, which I think is it's real flaw. The only thing it has software wise that the 001 does not, is the extra plugins that are bundled with it. Alot of people are under the impression, they can buy a 002, and it will be able to record thier band. But the system is limited to only 4 preamps, which only allows 4 mics. You would have to buy additional preamps, which is upward of $700 additional. Yeah I guess you could use a external mixer for preamps, but that add's noise, and then why are you bothering with the 002 in the first place. I'd say just get an 001(which is great), and 8 channel mixer with at least 6 preamps. A setup like that run's you about $1000, as opposed to the 002's $2500 price tag. You would be able to record 8 tracks at once.

And I agree with the fact that you can get better than either of those with Roland's SI 24 and RPC1 studio pack and get automated/motorised faders, 5.1 surround sound joystic control, complete DAW hands on Control center with Jog/Shuttle control, Scene memory and it works with both PC and Mac. Check it out. http://www.rolandus.com/products/details.asp?catid=12&subcatid=50&am p;prodid=Studio+Package+Pro And after rebate it's still cheaper than most of the Digidesign stuff, and way better." id="53231">Where did you get 1800 from. The site says it's only 1295usd retail, which means you can get it for around 999 at GC. But why would you wnat that thing when you can get this one ( http://www.midiman.com/products/m-audio/fw410.php) for a lot less money and it will work on Mac and PC. Same thing, same quality.

yeshu2k	Date: July 9, 2003 @ 5:04 PM Actualy I stand corrected, Now I see what you mean on the $1800 issue. I was looking at the 002R, not the MX002, But I still say the Roland Studio Pack is just as good and way cheaper
