ok check this, so i call sweetwater, tell dude my set up already, and what im tryin to do. so he goes on to tell me that an 003 would be cool, but what i have now is just as good with pt9. he said i would prolly want to get a new pc to an i7, he went on to tell of the mbox 2 on sale for 443.00 with the pt9 crossgrade. now my question to you pro tools gurus, is there any real benefits to an 003 over my Fw 1884? neither have dsp so its all native.
