It's so scary good we just hope they don't build 8 and 16 channel units of it while we still have Rosetta-800's and AD-16x's and DA-16x's in stock!!!

Isn't that essentially what the Ensemble is?

Not only can't you use this as a stand-alone AD/DA, you can't even decouple the preamps from the converter (or interface) from what I can tell. Big F-U to Digidesign customers.

Why does that have to be considered an "F-U" to anyone? This is a relatively inexpensive box designed to do one thing. Adding digital I/O or any of the other things people want would raise the price. That's fine as some people would be willing to pay extra for those features, but the $500 price point is somewhat "magical" and to have a unit of this quality at that price point is great. The fact that it doesn't have digital I/O doesnt' meant that Apogee is saying "F-U" to anyone...it just means that this isn't a standalone converter.

Digidesign are the ones that are excluding them selves by not suporting core audio like evryone else IMO.
|
What exactly are they excluding themselves from? They're primarily a hardware company, so by not supporting core audio they are excluding everyone but themselves, which is what they want to do. Offerign Core Audio support for Pro Tools would certainly cut into their sales.

logic 8 lets you run plugs in line before it is tracked :)

Assuming you mean you could actually
record the audio outpu of those plugins...why would you want to do that?
