Mbox 2

— Paul January 21, 2010

After using Cubase for many years but recently encountering lots of problems, I decided to give the Mbox 2 a try. I was apprehensive but I needn\'t have been. The hardware is simpicity itself and the protools software is very good (albeit I find it a little strange after working with Cubase for so long). The additional virtual instruments such as the Xpand synth are also excellent.

Really pleased with this purchase and would recommend this to anyone who\'s interested in recording/making their own music.

Slashes...

— Aden Prescott June 17, 2009

Im not sure why all the backward slashes put themselves in there. Hopefully its still readable. Oh well, at least this will cancel the 1/10 rating a bit more.

Mbox 2 Review

— Aden Prescott June 17, 2009

For a small home/bedroom studio in the making, the Mbox 2 really is a great product to start off with.

Firstly, ignore the lower \"average rating\" for the product, that is because of ndongo\'s (presumeably accidental) rating of 1/10. Secondly, don\'t worry about the \"Pro Tools LE 8 via download\", the installation disc comes in the box (+ a tutorial DVD and a disc of Audio Loops and Samples)

This product pretty much covers everything you need to get started with an audio interface for your little studio. The simple and easy connection via USB and Phantom Power are great features. Set up is pretty much self handled; Just connect it to the computer when prompted during the Pro Tools installation and the rest is sorted for you.

One thing, just for the people that haven\'t had much experience / Don\'t understand all of the tech specs:
The \"Mix\" knob balances between \"What is playing on the computer\" and \"What you are recording\". For example; If you were recording vocals (using headphones), with the mix knob, you could have the vocalist hear ONLY the mix (knob fully left), ONLY his voice (knob fully right), or a bit of both (knob anywhere in between).


I haven\'t had much time to give it extensive use, and that is the only reason I haven\'t given it a full 10/10. I haven\'t come across a single problem so far, and can\'t forsee that I will anytime soon.

A perfect sollution.

M-Box 2 Review

— Carl Lamb November 16, 2006

What can you say about this piece of Hardware and Software, it totally blows everything out of the water, so forget your Hard disk recorders and other software companies, you want the best in Audio manipulation then Pro-tools is the way forward for 21st century composition.

The M-Box it's self, is light portable brilliant for on the road use or for the home studio with little space. Just because it's small doesn't mean you are compensating on quality becasue you don't. Digidesign have done a great job in reaching across the different needs of muscians and the same attention to detail at the HD side is the same at the M-box. What I like about Didgidesign is they have given you a box that you can put a mic into but also you have MIDI in & out options and the great thing is they WORK!!!!

Software - When I first got my Pro-Tools setup I was worried that I wasn't going to be a long time before I could get into the program its self, in honesty its easy. They have done the ground work on the programming so you don't have those endless nights working through problems, again it WORKS!!!

Lets talk about the bundled software - overwhelming (in a good way) you get Reason Adapted, BFD lite, Albeton, Plugins galore and the best thing for me, no silly manual that doesn't make sense but a DVD of Pro-Tools method 1. It doesn't just stop there if you wish to advance your Pro-Tool skills then do the course authored through Berklee.

In short, it's not just a box you buy but a total package with one aim in mind - to CREATE...
