| cheapest protools HD interface Hi! What is the cheapest protools HD interface solution? Cheapest I found is Digidesign 96 IO. Im looking for temporary solution of 2 ch. outs for monitoring before I buy serious converters. Maybe there is any way to connect 888/24 IO to HD without this new interfaces? Or to use samplecell or something from this low-priced or legacy digi products to route signal through it? Thanks. |

| I would first look on Ebay for a good deal on the 96io. You need at least one of the newer HD interfaces before you can connect an older 888/24. The older interface would have to connect via the legacy port on the HD interface.

| I don't know what they're fetching on eBay these days, but if you could find a used Apogee AD8000 (or Trak2) relatively cheap on eBay you could buy one of their AMBUS HD cards for it...and you'd probably be happier with the sound as well... -Duardo |

The cards are proprietary, and require an HD interface to open the S/W. Your best option is to find a used HD interface. There is no less expensive way around this. Good Luck!

| Actually, you can buy the Apogee Rosetta 200 and the XDigiHD card and it will work connected directly to the HD cards... and you'll have much better converters all for about $2300-ish if I recall...

| You still need some HD PCI card which is ridiculous expensive for the basic one. IMO
