Called the store to make sure there is no restocking fee for opening the stuff up, and after being ok-ed, opened and installed PT on both the Intel mac and the Windows machine.
#MBOX 2 PRO INPUT MONITORING CONTANT MANUALS#
Upon arrival, opened the box and discovered that all the manuals and CDs are sealed. It’s a steal!Ĭould hardly wait to get home. He said he loves it, but then went on to tell me how much he loves Logic, and demonstrated its quantizing features on the iMac, even though I didn’t ask for it.Īnyway. The guy suggested that if I’m used to Cubase, it’s not a bad idea to stick with it, especially because the choice of hardware is pretty large. Got in the store, talked about how I would like to try Pro Tools. All the other options exclude Pro Tools from my list. The other road to PT is the M-Audio interfaces, but paying for the interfaces + Pro Tools M-Powered is more expensive anyway. Yeah, anyway…įor the $495 the Mbox 2 costs, I get the custom Digi designed preamps an external unit, which is a big plus since I don’t want to be tied down by PCI/e in case I want to use a laptop on location or anywhere outside of my place and this great software all engineers use called Pro Tools (LE). The sales person informed me that the latency is pretty much standard over all modern interfaces, unlike in the past.

The latest Pro Tools software works on the new Intel Macs, and both the CoreAudio and ASIO drivers are present, which to me meant that I could use Mbox outside of Pro Tools, if I so desired.
Since the latter doesn’t let you use some of the PT add-ons like the DV Toolkit ($999!), I decided to give the Mbox 2 a try, after double-checking that the store I buy from has a refund policy. The cheapest Pro Tools|HD1 solution starts at $8,000, and that’s without any of the audio interfaces like the 192I/O which also need to be purchased, albeit seperately.Īs can be easily read about on the Digidesign website, the next best thing to Pro Tools|HD is Pro Tools LE and Pro Tools M-Powered. The problem with all this, however, is that there is no way to try Pro Tools out without having one of the Digidesign’s audio interfaces. Before I have felt much of a need to record anything, other than my guitar maybe.
#MBOX 2 PRO INPUT MONITORING CONTANT DRIVER#
A group of developers released a free driver for Live! and Audigy cards that introduced a relatively low-latency to those otherwise consumer products, which pretty much made me stick to Live up until now. I have been using a Sound Blaster Live! for all my recording and composing since 2003. Now here is my coming out of the closet part. The tremendous hype everywhere on the Internet around it, and the constantly reappearing statements along the lines of “real engineers use Pro Tools in their studios” kept pushing me to give it a try. Nevertheless, I have started to grow more and more curious about Digidesign’s Pro Tools.
#MBOX 2 PRO INPUT MONITORING CONTANT MAC OS#
Having used Cubase for the past 5 years, the choice of the hardware seemed to be the widest possible, since Cube supports all types of audio devices, through the use of ASIO drivers on Windows and CoreAudio drivers on Mac OS X. Ever heard of a literary device called hyperbole? It is quite often used in various pieces of writing. UPDATE: For those reading and thinking Pro Tools ruined my life and ate my dog… Uuhh. Pro Tools was something I started considering due to the availability of Digidesign software and hardware at relatively reasonable prices. The much increased variaty in the choice of such solutions has created a problem of choosing the appropriate product, as there are so many things to consider.Īfter slightly over half a decade of composing, and doing some film and audio work in the past 2 years, I have decided that I need to gradually build up the hardware to move up from my current level quality- and possibility-wise.
Lately, the market has been flooded with affordable audio and video products for amateurs and professionals alike.
