Damien Looney Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 Would the Mbox 2 micro and the bundled software (Pro-Tools 8/48 channels/48kHz/24 bit) be a good option for track laying? I'm not looking for any record-in options as all dialogue and fx are pre-recorded and this isn't something that I'd be using everyday, but the price for it is quite good and it's a unit that I can pick quite easily from retailers here. The last time that I used Pro-Tools was about 5 years ago so it's amazing to see something this small offering what it does. Any thoughts from users appreciated Damien Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundtrane Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 ProTools LE you get with it is limited tracks 32, and no OMF or timecode support. There are workarounds, but the MAIN thing is - outputs. if you need proper outputs, you will need a better interface. Also, if you need MORE than two outputs... my 0.1.... -vin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Tuffrey Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 This is basically a dongle that lets you use LE without dragging the large Mbox about. It came as an answer to complaints that one has a laptop but can't work on it with out a large mbox attached. Digi where eventually only too pleased to help and to show their pleasure they gave it a substantial price tag. After all it is aimed at laptop using mbox owners who already have paid for the software/hardware solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bondelev Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 There are no inputs on the Micro (I have one). It is for monitoring only. The mini is good. I have one of those as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundperson Posted July 15, 2012 Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 Hello, anyone. I got an MBox 1 (the odd shaped MBox) and lost the PT driver that came with it in the box. What PT version can I download onto MAC OS 10.7.4 can make it useable again? Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best to loose the Mbox as well, as you won't get it to work on 10.7.4 http://archive.digidesign.com/compato/osxintel/mbox/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris McCallum Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 If you need a solution for offline tracklaying then it is fine. The good thing about it is that you can then take your session files into a larger ProTools suite, open it up and utilise the extra features available to you there.

greg sextro Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 Starting with pro tools 9 (and now 10), you do not need an external interface, the program can use the computers own input and output. Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBlimp Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 You are kidding right? Best to loose the Mbox as well, as you won't get it to work on 10.7.4 http://archive.digid.../osxintel/mbox/ For quite a while I had an additional install of OS 10.5 on a spare partition so I could still use the MB2. A bit cumbersome, but why not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
