The update to the 002, the 003 sports a new look and some additional features….sorta…. It’s an 8-analog I/O with the usual SPDIF, MIDI and optical.
Plenty of bug fixes and adding some I/O options, Digidesign made a great design change to use thin preamp knobs (though I don’t use them anyways), and barely any serious enhancements. In fact, they removed the indicator to what sample rate the box is at in exchange for…MIDI… As if it isn’t hard enough to figure out what rate ProTools is at. In addition, they made the power button much easier to accidentally turn off.
But it isn’t all bad. The Firewire ports are stronger and the 003 does not have to be at the end of a firewire chain, and the second headphone jack plus Mackie-like [weird] routing should be helpful.
