This past weekend at NAMM, DigiDesign began releasing details on their Two new Pro Tools LE Bundles, that revolve around the 003 and 003 Rack.
The 003 Factory Complete, and The 003 Rack Factory Complete
Both Bundles include not only the normal hardware interface (no word on if its the 003 Rack or Rack+ yet), not only plus the normal factory bundle of plugins, but also the Complete Production Tool Kit!
The Complete Production Tool Kit normally carries a price tag of $1995.00 on its own, but comes in these new kits at, virtually, half the cost.
Outside of the plethora of plug-ins you’ll get, Here’s what you get if you go for a 003 factory complete…
- The Hardware (thank you, captain obvious)
- The Complete Production Tool Kit (includes)
- More Plugins ($2650 Worth, says Digi)
- 7.1 Surround Sound Mixing
- 128 Total Audio Tracks
- 64 Instrument Tracks
- Multi Track Beat-Detective
- DigiBase File Management Tool
- Digi Translator (import/export OMG, AAF, MXF Files)
- MP3 option for Exporting MP3
- Time Code Functions
Basically, I’d say that’s everything but the Kitchen Sink.
Is it worth it? If you have the money, need the Tracks available, and like LOTS of options for plugins. Yes.
The 003 Factory Complete will be introduced at $3,995.
The 003 Rack Factory Complete will be introduced at $2,995.
