HEY! For starters, I'm a definate beginner. I just got the new 17" updated IMAC, with the audio input, and I'm looking to set up a little place to record some guitar licks, vocal tracks, and maybe get a keyboard (althought I don't really understand what MIDI is) I got all my little effects pedals for my Strat, is there a way I can utilize these and plug my guitar into my mac to lay some tracks. I've heard about the M-Box, where I could get a guitar and mic in, but is that a good way to go, wouldn't I need to applify the signal? Or could I get a mixer and plug evetything into that? I was gonna try pro tools once I got everything hooked up, but I also need a good way to simulate realistic drums. Am I dreaming here or can this all be done?

If you'd looked at the specs on the Digi site, or even done a search on here (Search button), you'd know that the Mbox has preamplification.
You can record straight into PT, but what is the sound you expect from your guitar? I would say its the sound that comes out of your amp. I've tried PT effects on the guitar live using my Mbox, and find them alright but nothing that'll make you fall over backwards. As I said, you can use inserts if you like. Just read the specs - its not that hard. http://www.digidesign.com Also, as the Mbox is now shipping with PTLE 6, you won't need to pay for the upgrade (which would cost me 75$ - see News Item on here) Another thought - the Mbox doesn't like competition on the USB port.
