Mbox 2, Digidesign's Pro Tools LE–based portable studio, offers novices and pros alike command of any project and full session compatibility with other Pro Tools systems, all the way up to Pro Tools|HD systems. The Pro Tools LE software included with Mbox 2 shares many of the same features as the award-winning software used by professionals worldwide. With its spectrum of features, Mbox 2 — Digidesign's most affordable Pro Tools LE product — works hand in hand with your creativity to bring your ideas to life.
The physical design of the Mbox 2 hardware unit is both distinctive and functional: It can be positioned horizontally or vertically for easy placement. Mbox 2 comes with two faceplates, which are easily swapped using the included hex wrench. One faceplate features a large handle that makes the unit easily portable. The second faceplate, which offers a rubberized grip, allows Mbox 2 to sit flat on a desktop and reduces the space required when the unit is packed for traveling.
The Essentials
Mbox 2 is a full-featured, USB-powered studio-in-a-box that works with your Window XP- or Mac OS X-based computer to give you a compact, portable, professional-quality audio production system. With a distinctive hardware interface that delivers exceptional sound quality, Mbox 2 works in conjunction with your computer and your Pro Tools LE software to provide the creative power you need to achieve professional results. Complementing the hardware interface's analog, digital, and MIDI I/O, Pro Tools LE software offers 32 tracks of simultaneous recording and playback, 128 virtual tracks, 256 MIDI tracks, and a host of additional features. As with all Pro Tools|HD and Pro Tools LE systems, Mbox 2 also ships with the Pro Tools Ignition Pack — an impressive array of added composition and production tools to extend the power of your system. From beginning to end, Mbox 2 places you in an ideal position to realize your creative vision.
Enhancers
While Mbox 2 is a fully functional system, many additional products are available that can increase the scope and performance of your Pro Tools LE environment. High-powered RTAS (real-time) and AudioSuite (file-based) plug-in. These plug-ins work in conjunction with Pro Tools LE in both real-time and non-real-time formats, frequently improving upon the hardware counterparts that they emulate. The addition of a FireWire drive is also a wise choice, improving the performance of your system by increasing throughput and data transfer speeds.
Pro Tools LE 8
With its matchless combination of flexibility, power, and simplicity, Pro Tools software has become the industry standard for audio production. Pro Tools software allows you to harness the power of your Digidesign hardware to move your ideas from concept to completion — all with total ease and efficiency. By balancing power and simplicity, Pro Tools software is also perfectly suited to those just getting into digital audio production for the first time. With its accommodating nature and extensive functionality, Pro Tools software is unlike any other application available. It works in tandem with Pro Tools LE hardware to help you achieve professional results affordably.
If you need to, augmenting your Pro Tools LE software is easy. Stream ReWire applications into Pro Tools LE for mixing and further processing, integrate a Digidesign Command|8 control surface for hands-on mixing, or add the DV Toolkit option to sweeten and augment the audio content of film and video projects. You can always choose from a huge selection of additional RTAS or AudioSuite plug-ins and software.
