Digidesign Mbox 2 Mini Portable USB-Powered Pro Tools LE Audio Workstation Review

Firstly do your research before buying this. Fairly steep learning curve for beginners. The hardware is solid with smooth knobs. The bundle I got came with a instructional dvd to which I flip flopped back and forth between the studio and living room for 3 days till I finally got things working right. I would also recommend pro tools le ignite books. There is a beginner and advanced guide for whichever version of pro tools you are using. I would recommend the beginner’s guide and the rest is self taught if it’s something you want to learn. If you gave more for your computer than this system then you’re probably gonna have problems. If you buy all your patch cables at radio shack then you’ll probably have problems. People have assumed that just because you get a lot for your money that this is a crappy product just because they can’t get it working right or have bad quality sound. Not so… the plug-ins are where you start shelling out the dough. I can assure you that if you have good quality cables and equipment that it will work right and then some. Also if you don’t have a decent pc/mac solely dedicated to music production/recording then I would say go with something else for recording because it does use lots of processing power at times. When I first got mine I called digidesign support and spent about an hour going through and deleting processes and such to make it run its most optimal.. I would suggest using a cheap laptop for internet or downloading and put everything on a usb drive/external or cd that u need for your music computer. Basically if you’re not too serious or lack patience then go with something else. But once you learn the program and all the short cuts I promise you will be stuck on it as far as recording and editing go. On the down side the MIDI department seemed to be lacking. It does take the place of whatever sound card that is in your computer as well. Other than that I would give this 3 thumbs up if I had a third hand.
