The Mbox 2 is the perfect interface for people looking to record voice-overs, scratch tapes, and any other recordings up to 4 simultaneous tracks.

I was wanted to set up a small home recording set up on my Macbook Pro. I bought my first Mbox 2 about 5 years ago for right around $450 at Guitar Center in Pittsburgh, PA. I currently play drums for the band Brookline and you can see me rockin' an Orange County Drum and Percussion or Mapex kit decked out with Zildjian K Hybrids. I've been a drummer and guitar player on and off for the past 10 years of my life and have began engineering and producing in the past 4. I am a student, musician, writer, and pretty good line dancer residing in beautiful Nashville, TN. It is USB powered and has no monitor latency. The Digidesign Mbox 2 is a digital audio interface (A-D converter) with two analog inputs (4 with S/PDIF) and two analog outputs. It has everything you need, and get better you have to climb in price range. It can do a good job without taking the head.

Here, in summary, for the price, I find it excellent. Note also, that I would have never thought, well this is the headphone jack, which delivers good sound and a sacred reserve volume! Well I find it rather disturbing is not it? Sounds stupid but said that as I had other cards (usually best) on which bad mix not sound so bad.

No doubt, with it, a mix not great, and it will not sound good, then a proper mix will sound correctly. Regarding the quality of the preamp and converters, it is quite correct, and how to say. Latency is easily adjustable and has never asked worried. Never bugs, crashes qq small that I had were more than my computer, when I read and / or recorded until all fifteen tracks filled with plugs. The few knobs on the front are doing their job, and can easily do basic manipulations (without using another software dedicated to the card to manage all that). But now that I have more and I have tested many others, I realize how this map was excellent and convenient!įor those who do not want to take the lead with a computer, it is great, plug it works and presto, you can start recording. I got pdt 5 years and I have to sell it because I needed more inputs, and I thought it would be a good secondhand to try other things. I post this opinion, because I have heard and read a lot of bad things about this card. Used on mac with pro tools 8, a killer, never problem. I bought it because I was working with people who use pro tools, that I was already familiar with this software, I wanted a portable and efficient config. On a macbook, recording vocals & guitar mainly, but also percussion, keyboards, bass, various MIDI etc.
