With an extensive range of audio and MIDI I/O, high-definition audio resolution, the creativity and speed of industry-standard Pro Tools® software, FireWire connectivity, and a big, comprehensive bundle of powerful software included free, 003™ Factory enables you to attain the same high audio production quality as commercial facilities in your own personal or project studio.
Get powerful hands-on control of your Pro Tools LE® sessions through its integrated control surface and take advantage of the plethora of I/O to connect and monitor your studio gear. Its portable size gives you the freedom to take a professional Pro Tools system anywhere your creative skills are needed — or inspired. And with over 80 powerful plug-ins, virtual instruments, compatible applications, and artist promotion services included, you have everything you need (and then some) to compose, perform, record, edit, mix, and master audio for music and desktop post production projects — with truly professional results.
The Hub of Your Personal Studio
003 (the hardware component of the 003 Factory package) offers an extensive array of analog and digital audio and MIDI I/O, making it the ideal hub of any home or project studio, or a powerful complement to an existing setup. You can connect just about any instrument and device found in your studio to 003. Plug in your guitar or bass for direct recording, connect line-level instruments such as synths or samplers, or capture sound from any source though a connected microphone — the interface’s premium mic preamps deliver the utmost sound clarity. And with its studio-grade 24-bit/96 kHz audio resolution, you can expect stunning, high-definition sound every time.
In addition, 003 provides the I/O you need to connect your MIDI gear, optical devices (such as ADAT), and S/PDIF digital equipment, and also features BNC Word Clock I/O to sync 003 to other external devices in your studio. It can also function in standalone MIDI mode, allowing you to integrate it into your MIDI setup sans computer. Plus, its FireWire connectivity ensures high-speed data transfers between 003 and your Windows- or Mac-based computer system — just plug 003 in and it’s ready to go.
Mix with Your Hands — Not the Mouse
With its touch-sensitive, motorized faders and motion-sensitive encoders, knobs, and switches, 003 gives you direct hands-on access to the power of Pro Tools, enabling you to control multiple aspects of your mix with much more speed and accuracy than mixing with a mouse alone. Ride a bank of faders to mix track volumes collectively, move instruments across the stereo field simultaneously, or mute multiple tracks all at once without having to point and click variables within the Pro Tools software interface one… at… a… time.
With 003 you can easily control recording and playback, mute or solo tracks, grab control of track volumes, pan tracks, assign sends, insert plug-ins and tweak parameters, assign and write mix automation, scrub video, and more right from the control surface — every move you make on 003 directly affects the parameters within your Pro Tools session and vice-versa. And since 003 allows you to control your mix with your hands instead of relying on your computer screen, you can close your eyes and concentrate on using your most significant mixing tool — your ears.
003 also provides essential visual feedback through its LCD display and plethora of LED indicators on the control surface so you can see how and what you’re affecting in your session. Keep an eye on your audio levels on the control surface instead of looking away at a screen as you adjust volume or gain thanks to a bank of 5-segment LEDs that function as volume/gain meters. The same LEDs also double as automation status indicators, letting you know — at a glance — which write mode is enabled on each track when you’re automating mixes.
Listen with Options
003 features multiple options for monitoring your sessions as well as other external devices. Dedicated stereo studio monitor outputs allow you to always have reference monitors connected without sacrificing audio outputs, while a stereo pair of alternate control room outputs let you hook up a second set of speakers to allow easy switching between two studio monitor sources. Two headphone outputs, each with its own level control, enable you to run two discrete monitor headphone mixes separately from your main mix. And an alternate source input allows you to monitor signals from a connected external device.
Everything You Need — Plus More
003 Factory comes with Digidesign’s biggest, most powerful and comprehensive software bundle yet, providing everything you need to create music, perform a composition, record audio, sequence MIDI, edit sounds, fix problems, mix tracks, enhance audio, master projects, and promote your creations.

Free Bomb Factory® Plug-ins
With the free Bomb Factory plug-ins, you have yet another palette of tools to make the most of your Pro Tools sessions. The Bomb Factory BF76 (formerly, Bomb Factory 1176) offers you the world-class compressor/limiter capabilities of the classic 1176 Peak Limiter, while the BF Essentials provide a set of time-saving, trouble-solving, mixing studio utilities. All employ intuitive, easy-to-use interfaces so there’s no wasting time with learning curves.
Free Bomb Factory plug-ins include:
- Bomb Factory BF76: (TDM, RTAS, AudioSuite) Modeled after one of the most popular dynamics processors in the industry — the renowned 1176 solid state compressor. The Bomb Factory BF76 plug-in’s true-to-form representation of the original in terms of both sound and operation (including the "all four buttons depressed" setting) must be experienced to be believed.
- BF Essentials Clip Remover: (AudioSuite) The BF Essential Clip Remover repairs clipped audio recordings. That red light no longer means a blown take! You'll be amazed how quickly this essential tool can repair clipped recordings. Best of all, it's much quicker and more accurate than using the pencil tool. Set your levels very carefully. But when your signal gets too excitable, try the BF Essential Clip Remover.
- BF Essentials Correlation Meter: (RTAS) Solve tracking and mix problems, and troubleshoot phase coherency with the BF Essential Correlation Meter. It works on stereo tracks or stereo submixes. Use it to stop phase problems before they start.
- BF Essentials Meter Bridge: (HTDM, RTAS) The BF Essential Meter Bridge provides best-of-breed VU metering on any channel while using minimal DSP resources. Enjoy the ease of use afforded by a needle, a big meter, and a faithful emulation of the decades-old standard for meter ballistics. Select RMS or Peak metering, and calibrate instantly for useful viewing at any signal level, just like a pro tape machine.
- BF Essentials Noise Meter: (RTAS) The BF Essential Noise Meter is three meters in one:
1) Set to "A," it's an A-weighted noise meter
2) Set to "R-D," it's a Robinson-Dadson equal-loudness meter
3) Set to "None," it's a VU meter with 100 dB of visual range
Mono and stereo versions included.
- BF Essentials Tuner: (RTAS) Even though some quality plug-ins exist that give you access to a whole slew of guitar amps, cabinets, and effects, you still need to have a tuned instrument going into it. Why complicate things with another hardware device? Enter the BF Essential Tuner. In addition to tracking more accurately and tuning faster than any of those battery-eating handheld gizmos, it’s more convenient than rackmount tuners.
- Funk Logic Mastererizer: (RTAS, AudioSuite) Lo-fi sound effects plug-in developed by Bomb Factory and Funk Logic
*Note: 96 kHz sample rate support with Digi 002 and Digi 002 Rack; 48 kHz with Mbox
