I'm trying to build a machine that can run both ACID Pro 5 and ProTools LE. Can anyone suggest good PC sound cards that will also not interfere with ProTools. Apparently ProTools functions as a sound card itself.

Thanks,

Eric

The MBox or 0002 are both capable of use with ACID or any other software. You really don't need another sound card.

001 is good too, but the latest versions of PTools LE dont support it. Basically, the 001 has been dropped from support by Digi.

Ok, I'm confused. How does this work? How does PTLE work as a sound card? I just connect it to my PC via Firewire and the drivers are installed on my PC and I select one in ACID?

:)

OK, while I'm at it, then how does ReWire work? Do I need to run ACID on another machine and somehow connect it and run it at the same time as the ProTools session? How do they synch up?

Many Thanks,

Eric

ReWire allows an entire application to act as a plug-in to another application. They must be on the same machine. So in ProTools you could insert ACID as a virtual instrument and it will play just like all the other virtual synth plug-ins.
