If you are into your home recording, and want to be able to produce great results for your money, this is hands down the hardware to buy, and it comes with Pro Tools LE 8 on a disk, not as a download as it says here, which is great. I work in radio, and this means I can bring my work home. Compared to other DAWs, such as Adobe which is also common in radio, this is unbelievably fast, efficient, and the quality is fantastic. For those who don\'t really know much about processing such as EQ, compression, gates, or effects like reverb, chorus, etc, pro tools 8 comes with some pre sets which while they are not perfect, they are a good start for the average person looking to learn more.

One thing to note, if you are solely looking to use MIDI, I personally would recommend Cubase 4 or Logic. I just find them much easier to use and more efficient for MIDI recording than pro tools, however pro tools are always getting better with this! However, perhaps this is because I used Cubase and Logic years before I used pro tools.... who knows. One thing\'s for sure, for a high quality and dead easy to use audio production package, the Mbox2 is the one to get.

Mbox 2 Factory is ACE!

I purchased an Mbox 2 factory based on a recommendation from a tutor and have been majorly impressed.

This product is definately value for money and reliable. The additional software that comes with it bumps up the value.

The inputs are high quality and the ProTools interface is simple and powerful.

If you are looking for a product similar to this in this price range this should be your buy!
