Very good unit, given the price. And the pack it comes with is a weighty argument.
USE
I don't know how a mobile studio can do with this setup. Once installed, you won't dare touch or move it much for fear of having to reconfigure everything...For a non-mobile studio it's okay, especially since the Mbox can be rack-mounted and that it looks nice. Not much to say in terms of sound.
The most (and very) negative point is that these guys might be the best at designing hardware and software (Pro Tools is definitely a must!), but they are really bad at programming. You'll inevitably have to deal with several crashes until you end up with an optimal configuration.
OPERATION
Bizarrely enough, I have a fighter jet on my desk in the guise of a PC...and the instability of the system freaks me out sometimes!
OVERALL OPINION
Bottom line, if I had to choose again, I'd save some money to get a bigger system, like a 003 with PT HD!!! But, for the price, it's a good solution and, despite its defects, the Mbox fulfills its role very well.
So, it's okay if you are looking for a quickly enough functional system (not considering the installation time)
But forget about it if you want a stable system that will last a long time!
