Results using the Digi 002 Rack with the supplied ASIO driver were perhaps only a qualified success. In testing with Cubase SX (version 1.0.6), the system response slowed to a crawl and, in particular, anything requiring a screen redraw was very sluggish even with an empty project. Despite considerable experimentation, I couldn't improve on this. 002 and 003 Rack Drivers v9.0.2.65 (Windows) 0 MB 002 and 003 Family Drivers v9.0r3 (Mac) 0 MB.

Although limited recording and playback of audio tracks may be possible using the internal drive in the iMac, a separate dedicated audio hard drive is highly recommended for maximum performance and track count.
Firewire Hard Drives
- For best results, follow the guidelines on the DigiDrive FireWire 80 Requirements
Maximum Performance Guidelines
- Recording to the system startup drive is not recommended or supported
- When using FireWire storage with Digi 002 Rack systems, connect the Digi 002 Rack 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 Rack to the drives

- System instabilities and performance issues can occur when using MIDI control surfaces in conjunction with Pro Tools 6 and 3rd party MIDI interfaces.
