Smooth Dj, have been watching this thread for a long time and you are the 1st person to really get into PTLE and specifically the Digi 003. Thanks for all your info so far.

My main intention for this mixer if possible is to track my 16 analog inputs from the zed into my 003 through FW or a a combination of FW and adat.
The main concern I have is that, I'm using a mac book pro with only one FW port.
Would it be possible to daisy chain the zed into the 2nd FW port on the 003 or vice versa for the full 16. Or is there another combination that would allow me to get all 16/18 from the zed into the 003?

Thanks a lot for any help you may have....
Thanks Tu-Ki,
I only wish other ppl would share their experiences. it really helps since there is little help available on the subject. To my understanding, you cannot track the 16 line inputs from the zed into PTLE. The zed is not a compatible interface for PT. The only thing that might work is 8 ADAT from the zed to the ADAT on the 003. Im pretty sure the 003 only has 8 in/out ADAT. In this case, you would switch the zed into ADAt mode which means the firewire cable does not have to be plugged in at all from the zed. I would just try out different things and see what works and what doesnt and then share your experiences. Take a look at the files AlienHeath posted on this page, it has the full routing layouts for each scenario.
