Hi, I just made an account for this topic. I have been researching recording systems for my computer. I was going back and forth between the Digidesign Mbox and the Lexicon Omega Desktop Recording Studio. I finally started leaning toward the Mbox because i read such great reviews on the software and I don't plan on recording with 10 other people so two inputs was okay for me. Then I ran across the PreSonus Firebox! I was floored by all the great reviews and the sturdiness it appears to have in the pictures. I was afraid the others would crush while I'm setting them up or during shipping because they look so fragile. I have a G4 Powerbook with 1.5 GHz and 512MB (which I hope to upgrade to 1GB in the near future) so I don't think running the Firebox will be an issue for me. The one thing I am hesitant about is the software. Everything I have read about Cubase sounds bad compared to Pro Tools. My brother-in-law has an MBox with Pro Tools, but I read somewhere that Pro Tools can only be used with Digidesign products and Digidesign products can only be used with Pro Tools. Is this true or could I get Pro Tools from him and use it with a Firebox? Does everybody agree that I should go with the Firebox or should I go with something else? And please tell me something about the software. I would really like some feedback from some other people because I am tired of researching and going back and forth on what I should get. Thanks!
