So I asked my dad, apparently the black version is for ProTools and the white one was for AVID (Avid Media Composer I guess). Should we create a second page for this one?

I did a bit more digging. Apparently the Avid version could not be used to unlock ProTools. The reverse was not true, the Digidesign 888 could be used with Avid Media Composer systems, and was a popular choice for Media Composer systems here in Los Angeles back in the late 90s and early 00s.

So... what are you using this AVID 888 I/O for? I'm guessing you don't have a late-90s PowerMac with the correct PCI slots and AVID Media Composer license needed to make this thing useful. The Digidesign 888 can be used as a standalone DAC, but that's a pretty obscure need in current music creation situations.

Hehe, you're wrong, I do have a late-90s PowerPC that have all the software installed and the PCI cards >:)
But yeah, the license is broken. I do have this dongle, but it doesn't work anymore, and have tried to call AVID for that (they said they had to replace the dongle if it broke), they never answered :')
Edit: Uhh wait, I don't remember if it was the 888 I/O that had a dongle in order to work :/ But can't I just used the S/PDIF ports on these things? My Mbox had an S/PDIF ports as well, maybe it could work?

Yay for the vintage Mac! But for music, I'd honestly recommend not touching any of that stuff. That 888 was more expensive than a good used car back when it came out, the converters on it are nice, but, personally, it's not worth the headache. It's not going to give you any kind of magic sound, it's just old, obsolete hardware that should be sold off or donated if nobody is using it to edit video anymore. Without the ability to unlock ProTools, it doesn't even really qualify as music production hardware, it belongs in a museum for film post-production, not music production.

You could put the Digi 888 into a standalone mode and use it just as a converter, but what I'm seeing online is that the Avid 888 doesn't have the same stand-alone modes. But that's just forum chatter. It's not 1999 anymore. Ableton Live, or FL, or Logic + a $100 audio interface + a $100 midi controller and you can make any kind of music you want. A 25 year old audio interface has zero role the play in the process.

Funny Little Boxes Skeleton Key

Image: https://funnylittleboxes.co.uk/products/skeleton-key

Info from the official web page: An op amp based distortion pedal with a unique voice and specifically tuned gain stages so that when you put it between your amp and down tuned, humbucker loaded guitar you can nail a range of the incredible tones on offer throughout the QOTSA back catalogue.

Delivered in a simple, 3 knob format which captures the rawkus, yet highly complex and nuanced drive sounds of some of QOTSA's best known songs across a range of their albums. From Regular John and If Only from their self titled debut; Lost Art Of Keeping A Secret and Feel Good Hit Of The Summer from Rated R; Mega hits No One Knows and Go With The Flow; all the way up to Paper Machete from this years In Times New Roman release.

The QOTSA sound has had guitarists forking out on expensive amps and pedals for years and still left them wanting. Want no more as the Skeleton Key unlocks them.

So I think that for the big boxes
We should do 2 different. The Digidesign version, and the AVID one.

Sounds good. Personally, if it's a product aimed purely at the video editing market and it can't be used to unlock ProTools (which seems to be the case), then it's not really the kind of gear that the site owners want added to the site, as it would be like adding a video camera or Avid Media Composer to the database...but you're over 500 points now, so you get to make the call on this kind of edge case stuff yourself.

You'll see a little blue link towards the bottom of the Add > Music Gear screen. Good luck, and let me know if you have any questions or issues.

Well, I would say that it's audio related, since it's an audio interface :/
I mean, I get what you're saying, it's not made for music, but technically you could >:)

Hey, thanks for the efforts!
It's just that at the top-right corner of your screen, you can manually add the items, that have a correct link, so you can do it by yourself, and it gives you some GearIQ.

I detailed the areas that need to be improved within the notes of several of your submissions. I also linked you to the guidelines that need to be followed. https://equipboard.com/contributor_guidelines

I'm happy to add more of the items you've requested once you've addressed the noted issues with the submissions you've already made.

This is the purpose of restricting what items a new user can add, so that we volunteers have a chance to work through any issues with you before you start adding a dozen items at a time. Having a few issues to work through when you first start is a totally normal part of the process.

Asking the moderators to add 10 (!!!) different items within 24 hours is less typical, but totally ok, once you're making submissions that meet the guidelines. :)
