Mbox Basics

Mbox, Digidesign's Pro Tools LE-based portable micro studio, offers novices and pros alike command of any project and full session compatibility with other Pro Tools systems, from Digi 001 to Pro Tools|HD. In addition, Mbox features a Pro Tools LE-based interface inspired by the same award-winning software used by professionals worldwide. With its spectrum of features, Mbox — our most inexpensive Pro Tools LE product — works hand in hand with your creativity to bring your ideas to life.

The Essentials

Mbox is a full-featured, USB-powered studio-in-a-box that works with your computer to give you a compact, portable, professional-quality audio production system. Comprised of a small, upright I/O unit and the latest Pro Tools LE software and featuring two Focusrite mic preamps, Mbox works in conjunction with your computer to provide the firepower necessary for quality results. Complementing Mbox's analog and digital I/O, Pro Tools LE software offers 24 tracks of record and playback, 128 MIDI tracks, real-time plug-in support, and a host of additional features. From beginning to end, Mbox places you in an ideal position to realize any project. (Mbox is currently a Mac-only product; Windows XP Home support is expected Q4 2Mbox.)

Enhancers

While Mbox is fully functional in and of itself, many products are available to increase the scope and performance of your Mbox-based Pro Tools LE environment. High-powered RTAS (real-time) and AudioSuite (file-based) plug-ins, designed and built by Digidesign and our Development Partners, are available for virtually every signal processing, sound design, and specialized editing purpose. These software applications work in conjunction with Pro Tools LE in both non- and real-time formats, emulating and often improving upon the hardware counterparts that they frequently emulate. The addition of a FireWire drive is also a wise choice, improving the performance of your system by virtue of increased throughput and data transfer speeds. And you always have access to upgrades and updates to Pro Tools LE software, typically available for free to registered users, as we continue to develop new ways of improving your Pro Tools experience.
