What interfaces are compatible with Pro Tools LE?

If he bought the Behringer ADA8000, you can hook that up to the 002 via ADAT I/O for eight more inputs.

yes, but we have Focusrites that do that job!

The only interfaces you can use with LE are the 001 (up to PT6.4) 002, 003 or Mbox interfaces. You can use M audio interfaces with the M powered Protools but technically that's not LE

To add extra channels you can hook up loads of interfaces via ADAT and SPDIF but you already know that.

I did test a D24 card with an 882 attached to it once though in a PC that already had a 001 installed. PT LE could see the 882 but I didn't try tracking through it

you can run other a/d converters with a 002 or 003 as long as you run them through your lite pipe, opticals, or bnc connecters. this will expand your inputs/outputs not just limiting it with 8 ins/outs. my instructor runs a 002 with a digimax which gives him 16 ins/outs for live sound recording. he says the digimax is really transparent.

LE is 18io max. You could add a spdif interface, but that's it.

Oh, and people overstate how bad the conversion is. Especially those who've never actually used it, or who are monitoring in untreated rooms..

I heard that the Maudio fast track ultra 8r will not work with PTle... Does that make any sense?It's like made by avid and should work with PTle

Am I wrong or whats?

dude, age old thread, now with pt 9 there is no le and you can use whatever interface you please!

I'm still using 8 LE, for various reasons, and would like to know if anyone has tried using any other interface with it ?

I'm going to try using a Tascam US 100 and hopefully test an m-audio fast track pro as well. I will report back with the results asap.

I'm using an Mbox 2 now on a brand new Mac Pro and it crashes often because of the Mbox. I had a 08' Mac Pro which had the same problem with the Mbox, the Mac Pro I have now is a replacement as I thought it was the Mac causing the crashes not the Mbox, but I was wrong.

If you have 8 LE, the only interfaces you can use are the Digidesign ones.
