Maximum Performance Guidelines
- Recording to the system startup drive is not recommended or
supported
- For desktop models, a separate internal (IDE) or external dedicated
FireWire drive is highly recommended for maximum performance and
track count
- Although limited recording and playback of audio tracks may
be possible using the internal drive in PowerBook and iMac models,
a separate external dedicated audio hard drive is highly recommended
for maximum performance and track count. Digidesign recommends
the use of FireWire drives for use with these computers.
- When using FireWire storage with Digi 002, connect the Digi
002 and the drives to separate FireWire ports if possible
- If only one port is available, connect the drives to the CPU
using a 1 meter firewire cable, then connect the Digi 002 to the
drives
Known Incompatibilities
- Pro Tools LE 6.1 or higher required to use SCSI devices with
the Digi 002 on OS X
- Recording with the Digi 002 to a FireWire drive connected to
any of the 3 built-in Firewire ports on the 2003 PowerMac G4 "FW800"
models can result in -6085 errors. On these computers, Digidesign
recommends using a dedicated internal ATA/IDE drive for recording.
If using FireWire drives with Digi 002 & 2003 G4 FW800 computers,
a FireWire PCI adapter
card must be used.
- Digi 002 will not function if any Digidesign PCI cards are installed
in the CPU. (Digi 001, Audiomedia III, TDM cards, SampleCell)
- Pro Tools 6 does not work in the OS 9 "Classic Mode".
You must choose Mac OS X as your Startup Disk.
- Digidesign Core Audio Driver 6.1.1 or higher required to support
the Digi 002 or Digi 002 Rack hardware.

Supported CPU Models, Speeds & Requirements
Note – the best performance with Mac OS X and Digi 002 is
achieved by using fast dual processor Macs. Slower, single processor
Macs will work with Digi 002, but at a reduced track and/or plug-in
count. Pro Tools 6 for Mac OS X is fully compatible with Apple dual
processor models. There is no need to install any additional software.

The following computers are qualified for use with Digi 002, but
may result in lower performance:
The following computers are unsupported for use with Digi 002 with
Mac OS X:
- Apple G4 cube
- Apple Power Mac G4 (PCI Graphics)
- Apple Power Mac G3 Blue & White and older
- Apple iMac (G3 models)
- Apple eMac
- Apple PowerBook G3 ("Pismo") and older
- Apple iBook ("Clamshell")
Power Mac G5 Requires Pro Tools LE 6.2.3
System Software
Mac OS 10.2.6 or 10.2.8 (Jaguar) Required for Pro Tools LE 6.1.2
Total System RAM
- 384 MB minimum, 512 or higher recommended
- More RAM increases overall system and Pro Tools performance
- 512 MB RAM or higher suggested for sessions with high edit density,
extensive use of plug-ins, or simultaneous use with MIDI sequencers
- DigiTranslator 2.0 will also require additional RAM
- OS X does not require minimum or preferred RAM settings for
Pro Tools as RAM is dynamically allocated
Note: In Pro Tools 6.0.x, the maximum allowable RAM was 1.5 GB. MDD G4 models
with 2.0 GB would cause a "NeoAccess Error" and Pro Tools would not boot unless some RAM was removed. This issue is solved
in Pro Tools 6.1 and higher. Answerbase Details
Additional Computer Requirements
- Color monitor required with a minimum resolution of 1024 x 768
- Apple QuickTime 6.1 or higher required
