Thanks guys, I really appreciate the input. I think I found a better
solution. I'm probably going to sell my 002 and hook up with the new
m-audio project mix. That way I can still have protools and don't have
to be tied down to digidesign's hardware. Has anybody played with one
of these yet? I've read some really good stuff about it. For
$1,250.00 you can get exactly what I want... control surface/mixer
with automated faders, protools compatability, 8 preamps all in 1
device, and more. It looks to be a very portable device as well.

Let's generate some dialogue here for the benefit of all.

What are the pros/cons of buying one of these rather than the 002? I
mean, it does basically all that the full 002 setup does in one unit
and costs half as much right?

Thanks for the info and comments.

Just bear in mind that if you do this, you'll have to buy Pro Tools all
over again, since the M-Audio stuff uses a different version and it
doesn't come free.

I use a Presonus Digimax LT with my 002R and it works fine via ADAT
lightpipe. I also bought an RME quadmic to preamp the other 4 channels
of analog input and it, too, works very well.

For a control surface, I use a Behringer BFC2000, but it lacks touch
sensitive faders, so editing mixes is a little bit of a drag.
