I needed an audio interface to connect two inputs my mixer, or directly to my guitar and my microphone. I wanted an Edirol UA-25 with which I would have bought Sonar HS 4, but for the same price (at least here Montral), Pro Tools LE seemed suprieur.
I wanted to do simple home studio, the DMOS guitar / vocals / MIDI. I did not need to because I have a MIDI M-Audio Keystation 49e USB.
I have an AMD Athlon 1.8 GHz - 768MB - 40 GB (I know it's not super short ... Retailer machine "correct" from three years ago.
It has the instruments is my Gibson ES-137 C (gniale for that matter!) Which passes through the direct box Behringer Ultra-G, my Shure SM58 mic, and everything through my mixer Behringer Eurorack 1002. I branch also an old cassette player and a turntable rcuprer sounds.
I do not really understand what I had to note in this section, but if it is to see if the product silent well for my needs, so everything runs well, but 768MB RAM is limited, so 9 / 10.
UTILIZATION
Installing Pro Tools is very simple ... if you have a DVD player. I did not, so I have to disassemble the computer and insert the family DVD player (FIRST TIME I opened a computer!). It's a bit embtant, but good installation is fast and simple so ...
I have not met the asking incompatibility problem, but I have t say a little surprised to know that Pro Tools LE did not read the VST, and other small stuff like that.
Unfortunately the manual is virtual and is 500 pages in English. The French version is available on the Digidesign ... but it is 750 pages. In short, I keep my eyes and my sanity, so I'm going dbrouiller no manual!
As for the config is happiness. The MBox is not ncssite in any configuration, it does not "REALLY" driver. In fact, Pro Tools, which runs everything, and it is clear, simple and easy to use even for a beginners like me.
J'enlve 2 points for the short term frustration (DVD and manual), but long term you realize the quality and simplicity of the product.
GETTING STARTED
As I said above, no driver Tlcharger or even start during use. Pro Tools is a kind of software matre, which is handy. Having no internet connection on that machine, I have not performed up to date, and I will not if I have no problem ... but this is only my opinion.
With such Kompakt VST and Lounge Lizard, j'optiens latency of 9 or 8 ms. was enough for me, but I think it's a bit slow for some. In fact, when I play the guitar, for example, a project of PT, the buffer size must be a 128 for no latency. Ds that I add, there is a time limit! But Obviously, ds I played with a backing track, the 128 is not enough ... In short, the performance is somewhat dcevante, but may be is it my RAM enough? I do not know ...
After the buffer size (in 2000 ...), I can read dozens of tracks, it's enough for me (my projects include more than 15 ...). Buffer with 128, I can not read more than 3 or 4 recording. I know all this info is a little shaky, but hey I'm beginners and I do not force me too Systm ...
OVERALL OPINION
Good and most important:
-The quality of sound is exceptional
-The bundle pack is trs INTERESTED
-The MBox 2 Mini is REALLY mini, pretty, strong and easy to use trs trs
The mini-pro, it's - say they do not pay for stuff that is not used, it is not a gimmick: There are two entrances equipped with pramps although correct, a power supply famtome and two outputs. Nothing more simple, no digital I / O, no buttons everywhere, not I / O MIDI. Obviously, some need it, but the Mini is not for them. It REPRESENTATIVES probably the best available audio interface that price, in terms of quality (sound and professional). In terms of features, it is as necessary ... I was good enough for me.
I do not put 10 as the incompatibility of VST (not announced), the ncssit the DVD player (still not announced ... we really live in a capitalist world. C ' is made believes that "empty" everyone in a possde. Well I'm 16 and I'm not at all. a little frustrating (more morally concrtement ...) ) and the manual Designed to dplaire!
A good product for APRS me!
