useing M-Box for tapeing
« on: June 30, 2004, 01:14:10 AM »
I am thing of geting a M-Box to tape with. The laptop that I am useing is a mac. The M-Box works off of the laptop and you dont need to go out a buy recording softwear. I want to know if any one can tell me if it is a good way to go at taping with a laptop. I hope that they is some one that can help me on my way.

The MBox works great as a laptop interface, as long as you are sure you want to use protools.  There are many other solutions out there as well, including the M-Audio Firewire410 (and now the Firewire1814), Edirol UA-5, Metric Halo ULN-2 (although it's much more expensive), and probably a few more. ;)

i love my firewire audiophile.  i not only use mine for taping, but also as an interface between my computer and my home stereo system.  for the price, you can't beat the versatility of the unit ;D

You can only get the M-box with a purchase of the cheap version of protools... At least, I thought thats what I had seen.

Nah, you get the full version of ProTools with the purchase of an MBox.

sorry, didn't mean to imply that the edition w/the m-box was lesser than the protools used with the higher end digidesign hardware.... my point was that the m-box is a bonus w/the purchase of protools.

I understand that you can use the m-box outside of protools in Windows, but you still need PT installed to get the asio driver.

I dunno if I would put it that way.  ProTools includes their software with any hardware purchase.  In effect, the software is a bonus with the purchase of their hardware, not the other way around.
