Hey all you MBox users out there.
I want the to get the Mbox 'cause Pro tools is great for what I want . Only thing is Ive been toid by some people that it cant run Virtual Instruments without noticeable latency and chews up processor speed real quick when adding effects. Tell me its not true, tell me simplicity rules and keep away from the maze that is Logic. |

Jimmy, I wish I had an answer, I have similar problems with a new MacBook Pro and my Mbox2. I can't even get sound into my Mac from the Mbox2 at all. And it also echoes music and desktop sounds all the time until I reboot or unplug the MBox2. I was trying to use Logic Pro to record instead but it doesn’t work either with my MBox2 it sees in preferences but again no sound. I have had it with DigiDesign. It took a year to finally do the update so it could run on the latest Mac OS and I still cant get it to work. Ugh. I may sell it and get another mid priced Pre-Amp. I tried calling them but didn’t get through and the web site is just a mess of information. I'll let you know what I find and hopefully someone more brilliant on this site can help. Blessings. Chris'

Chris, what a DRAG! I went through the exact same problem! I had to wait for the updates and such, even upgraded to pro-tools 8 (more money), it still will not work!
 Well, hopefully, like you said, someone will reply with a positive solution! Blessings to you too! JK

I have had this exact same problem. I'm running an Intel iMac (Core Duo 2GHz, 2GB RAM) with an MBox2 Mini, and since I started using the MBox, I've had kernel panics and application crashed up the wazoo. Like many people, I thought the problem was with a number of other elements in my system. It was only after I tested and re-installed nearly everything else that I discovered that it was my MBox that was causing the problems all along. I found this thread on Digi's forum:
http://duc.digidesign.com/showthread.php?t=194592 Apparently this problem goes back over 2 years. It's a mystery as to whether it's Apple's or Digi's responsibility to fix, and neither company is speaking up about the issue. I actually joined MacMusic in the hopes of finding something in these forums about a possible fix. It seems like our only course of action is to just wait until "they" fix the problem. --=Bryan |
