Using REW with Digi 002 or Pro Tools?

Does anyone know how I can set up the software/hardware to run this way? I have a recording studio and use Digi 002 with pro tools. The Digi 002 can also operate in stand-alone mode and because I have my monitor speakers hooked up to it, I'd like to NOT use my computer's sound card unless it's really necessary. How would I set this up?

There's no reason that it wouldn't work. It has line-in and line-out just like any other soundcard, and so it shouldn't be a problem. (I assume the computer is not a MAC)..

Do you have a specific question?

Hopefully, you have read and are completely familiar with REW Cabling Basics and the REW HELP files.

I run the following and let me say, you're not alone in the initial confusion... give me a call if you've figured out all the calibration and such.

initial confusion

You are using OS 10.4 on your Mac. REW requires version 10.5 to operate properly.

ah, very good to know!!! what does operate properly mean?

I've been putting off upgrading since it means I need to check pro tools PLUS all my plugins for compatibility and hope there aren't many upgrade fees.

With 10.4 REW will not be able to access the inputs of USB-connected soundcards, even when you set them as the default input - you have to use the built-in audio input. With 10.5 that is fixed, BUT for both 10.4 and 10.5 you need an Intel Mac, with PowerPC Macs the audio data is byte-swapped and you will not be able to use REW. I'll put a workaround in for the PowerPC problem in the next release, but that's a few months off.

thanks for the info John.

The soundcard isn't USB, it's "digicable" which is a proprietary snake. Anyway, I think the same thing applies. It's an intel based mac, so I'll just wait 'til I put 10.5 on it.
