It sure seems like a lot to get a project recording studio off the ground, especially if you're thinking about going digital. Once you decide which software you're going to run (an epic decision in and of itself), you've still got a ton of other purchasing decisions. Which interface should I get? What mics do I need first? Should I get monitors or headphones? What kind of additional software am I going to need to start recording? We feel your pain; heck, most of us have been through the same process already. We want to make professional-quality computer recording accessible to everyone, and that's why we've put together a recording bundle that's centered around one of the most successful home studio computer recording interfaces around: the DigiDesign Digi 003 Rack.
Industry Standard Pro Tools Recording SoftwareYour new Digi 003 Rack is the key to the world of Pro Tools, the industry-standard recording software that ushered in the digital recording revolution. Pro Tools HD systems are used the world over in the most discriminating studios, and as a Pro Tools user, you'll have a worldwide support network and massive online community to exchange ideas with. You'll also be able to take projects you've been working on at home and transfer them seamlessly to a professional studio environment, and vice versa. Record drums at the studio, then bring those tracks home and overdub guitars and vocals, on your own time. Collaborate on a song with like-minded producers across the globe. Hire a session-vocalist in New York for your Minnesota-based project. This kind of international musical community is only possible when you tap into the power of Pro Tools. Pro Tools LE is the native version of the flagship HD system, and is both powerful and simple to learn. With 48 tracks of stereo audio supported, full-fledged MIDI capabilities, extensive virtual mixing and bussing, and pristine audio processing, you'll enjoy the same creative flexibility as any world-class studio.
High-Speed, High Fidelity FireWire AudioThe wider bandwidth that FireWire provides allows for more audio channels while maintaining stable operation. For the Digi 003, FireWire connectivity provides up to eighteen channels of simultaneous I/O. Four microphone preamps with balanced XLR jacks let you connect high-quality studio microphones directly to the interface, with no need for any external hardware. Individual gain and filter controls for each mic input are easily accessible along the front face of the Digi Rack. A total of eight channels of analog input allow for recording of full bands or even live performances, and that channel count is expandable with ADAT and S/PIDF digital I/O. If you do add additional hardware, the Digi 003's super-stable Word Clock keeps everything in sync, eliminating common problems like digital "jitter" that can otherwise taint a professional-sounding project. The 003 Rack's own analog-to-digital converters are top-notch, with a higher than CD-quality 24-bit depth and up to 96 kHz sampling rate. . . you'll be able to accurately capture the musical nuance of any instrument, from a high-gain guitar stack to a classical lever-harp to a warm and jazzy trap kit. There's also MIDI in, out, and thru ports for connecting external sequencers and tempo-syncing MIDI-enabled rackmount effects. With XLR studio and control room outputs as well as dual headphone jacks, you've got plenty of monitor routing options, and the Digi 003's rugged, streamlined, two rackspace chassis is equally at home in your project studio or out on the road.
A Wealth Of Bundled SoftwareIn addition to Pro Tools, the Digi 003 Rack comes bundled with a bounty of virtual instruments and software signal processors to get you started on fully-realized, professional sounding projects right out of the box. Seven virtual instruments including the powerful BOOM! drum machine, a grand piano, a tonewheel organ, and an analog synthesizer plugin will help you realize and produce compositions of any style, from simple to complex. No fewer than seventy audio effects plugins are also included, ranging from compressors, equalizers and reverbs to phasers, delays and pitch-shifting effects. You even get M-Audio's digital DJ software Torq LE, so you can get started on your next hip-hop masterpiece. Expand your tonal palette with thousands of third-party virtual instruments and effects plugins with Pro Tools' support of the RTAS plugin format.
Add The Session Pro Bundle For An Instant Recording StudioFor the recording enthusiast or semi-professional who's just starting out, zZounds has put together an amazing deal that will get your home or project studio off to a running start. Many of the folks who work at zZounds run project studios themselves, and we've put our heads together to come up with a comprehensive package deal that'll save you over $1000 as compared to buying the items separately. Any studio needs a solid microphone foundation, and we've included two pairs of our favorite condensers for use in just about any recording scenario. Two AKG C214 large diaphragm condensers handle vocals, drum overheads, guitar cabs and a wide variety of acoustic instruments. A pair of Rode NT5 small-diaphragm condensers handle just about every thing else, and complement the AKGs perfectly. A C214 matched with an NT5 results in some truly stunning acoustic guitar tones, which you'll enjoy in beautiful detail thanks to the M-Audio Studiophile BX8a active reference monitors. These DigiDesign-designed, self-powered monitors will sit comfortable atop the two On Stage SMS6000 Adjustable Monitor Stands we've included as well. For alternate audio reference, we've provided a pair of Audio Technica ATHM40FS Precision Monitor Headphones, because music lovers listen on personal portable systems at least as often as at home or in the car. Add a mic stand, pop-filter and all necessary cables, and you're looking at $2500 worth of gear that zZounds is offering for the price of $1430, exclusively when bundled with the DigiDesign Digi 003 Rack.
zZounds and DigiDesign know what makes a successful project studio--zZounds because we're all musicians ourselves, and DigiDesign because they've been working with recording professionals and enthusiasts for decades. The Digi 003 Rack and Session Pro Bundle represent the dedication we both share to providing home recordists with the best equipment, software, and recording experience possible; there's no better way to join the home studio revolution!
