Re: old technology - digi 001 and G4



The 001 was my first ProTools system and was absolutely brilliant.

People generally agree that the pre-amps of the 001 were better than the 
002. I was happy (and still am for mobile recording using my Focusrite 
Octopre) with my 002 but then got the 003 for my studio when Digidesign 
offered the 'amnesty' for owners of 001s.

I now have a G4 sat in the corner of the room doing nothing having also 
moved on with my Mac choices.

If you can get the 001 for $100 as you say, I say go for it.

In time you will definitely want/need more processing power but until you 
are ready the 001/G4 is/was a fantastic combo and a great introduction to 
ProTools.
