Published on 06/17/12 at 01:11The good thing about the original Mbox is that you can still buy it online now and get it for really cheap since they have came out with the Mbox 2 many years ago. It seems like when they came out with the Mbox 2 everyone got rid of the original Mbox which made the price of it go way down. But its still a great interface and I still use it from time to time. I came remember which pro tools that it came with but I have upgraded pro tools so many times it still continues to work. Even when used in cubase and fl studio you can just use it in about any type of daw that you use.
UTILIZATION
Drivers are very stable and everything works great with it, it plugs into my laptop with a USB chord just like the Mbox 2, difference is that the MBOX2 is more of a hassle and cost over twice as much. If you are thinking of getting the Mbox 2 I say you downgrade and save yourself a couple hundred dollars and get the original Mbox and just get a newer version of pro tools and you will save money and be happier in the end.
GETTING STARTED
Setting it up is very easy and is hassle free. There are no issues when running it at all and its very sturdy and wont break on you. I even pack mine up and take it with me a lot of places, I am actually on my second one because the first one got misplaced when I was on a trip, I think I just left in a hotel in the middle of Oklahoma somewhere. This is a very simple interface that can take on some complex jobs I highly recommend it especially with the price that they sell for online now is so low.
OVERALL OPINION
It’s a great interface and I stand by it. Like I said im on my second one and I will get another if I need to. Why not, they cost so little and provide such great quality.
