Yup. Seen it with my own eyes, heard it with my own ears. I'm convinced. As far as top 40 commercial releases, I'm not sure, but I know a couple of producers who sell beats for $10K+ to major labels who only use Mboxs with no external conversion/pres, etc (and I'd assume the conversion/pres in the DIGI 002 are better than those!) I know this is GEARslutz and all, but honestly, 90% of your sound is going to come from your talents and techniques, not your gear.

I hear ya and agree up to to a point. Unfortunately I record mainly classical instruments in their natural acoustic and so the quality (and accuracy) of the chain is pretty important. The good news with this time of recording though is that my main stereo pair is sometimes all that is needed. This is what would go through the Amek with perhaps some spot mics going through the 002's pres and ADs (until I can afford another outboard pre/AD thing). I guess Im worried that those spots recorded through the Digi chain will be of such bad quality that they are essentially useless. Although the impression Ive been getting from the posts here seem to suggest that they might just be ok for the time being in this application (i.e. as long as the quality of the recording doesnt "hang" on those channels).
On a seperate note, I posted something else about using a 002 with a laptop PCMCIA firewire card but havent had any replys yet. Anyone here do that? (my laptop doesnt have firewire ports and Digi still havnt released an updated list of supported PCMCIA cards
)

It's all good, a lot of times in a thread, other good discussions that are slightly off-topic will start that many other people will find useful. There's a lot of good stuff in here all ready, it's a good thread

Agreed. The 002 raises a lot of interesting debate as it is possible to use what is essentially a "prosumer" device in a professional way (with the use of external supplementation of course!)
