Value For Money : Excellent
Before j'tais on PC with NUENDO, was alone even a 512 MB RAM. Dozens of tracks playing.

Configuration:
WindowsXP Pro SP2, 2.15 GHz, 512MB.
MacBookPro 2.15 GHz 1GB MAC OSX 10.4

Why manufacturers do they ever communicate about CHARACTERISTICS dterminent that the quality of their A / DD / A and pramplis (for sound cards ordis too)? Like all audio products, only use one can really choose.

Analog inputs. Between SPDIF I'm using it to add sound to my freeboxHD.

UTILIZATION

I go about installing and reformatting multiple discs. Working on one partition I have not problem even if it is possible deprecated by Digidesign. The copyright protections are entering nerva when we bought Protools.

For Hardware: read the list of configurations PC / MAC compatible gives Digidesign.com However in the PC I have to remove everything that conflicts with protools, sound card and the Previous to other things, yet I have a good dj XP dbarrass of superfluous gadgets. There is a fountain prcise to configure your PC the best for computer music Retailer in Audiofanzine. Finally, a PC ddi computer music is IDAL.

On XP: If your running config, especially KEEP and will not do nothing day.
Many apps do not have audio of his thanks Mbox2 ON PC, including Internet. Cubase SX can run with Mbox2.

MAC: All softwares MacosX with audio are supported by the Mbox2.

Take Mbox2 for good small models, learning and exploring on PROTOOLS plthore of apps that came with PT. 24/48khz is sufficient for these purposes.

GETTING STARTED

Then I pass on Macintosh and did not want to keep my PC for Protools. But surprise, MacOSX on a diffrence in size: the quality sound of all that comes out of the mac (protools like other apps)! I can make the exprience every day. What conclusion: a Hardware identical appear different sounds! The reason he only becaufe on MacOSX PT diffrent drivers would use? Or is it also because of the dveloppement Protools has been more about Macintosh and PC? Rsultat I knew what to do and what days of the PC (2008) I sold.

Despite advances in PT edition MIDI, Nuendo and Cubase are much more effective. The sample set is limited. The plugins provided are not of excellent quality. Eg pitch, reverb.

The audio edition of PT is trs laboremme if not really intuitive. In use I prfere Nuendo (I speak only of what I know). The LE version is in its interface almost identical to the HD (see the manual). You have our answer on protools you that know the keyboard shortcuts ... 500 Protools on, everything is ugly, cold, no color. Once one is familiar with ProTools (the documentation is several thousand pages) may be rvlera is there in all its glory ...

OVERALL OPINION

I knew the couple Nuendo MOTU MK2: excellent.

The report is good quality-price becaufe protools is much more affordable than before and it was hard + software. BECAUSE bad 'that price was the best hardware.

The Mbox2 may be well to understand the computer music's compatibility with HD is interresting. The sound quality of the hardware is sufficient for a basic home studio.

I advice that those who absolutely want protools s'quiper or a mobile solution "all in one." Shared becaufe I was when even a good package for under 500 euros mobile audio interface, a software used everywhere, a publisher noon loop, sampler and drum and more plugins and a few instruments. Just a laptop to make it 100% portable.

Also other product offers an audio interface + squenceurs and softs for less than 400 euros? For 500 euros it was usually either the soft or the interface. Peulpeul0 critics are too extreme. His words would they not influenced by his membership competition DIGIDESIGN password?
