I currently own a pc and have recorded simple guitars on it before. I am planning on switching
to mac's and buying a 12" powerbook. I just want to be able to record guitars, vocals, drums, keyboard and possibly a drum machine. I was also planning on buying an m-box, which comes with pro tools le. My first question is, will this setup work for me? My second question is can I use a line 6 pod with this? Thanx. |

yep this setup should work fine for you and yep it will work with a Pod. You'll only have 2 inputs that will let you record stereo sound or 2 mono channels simultaneously. For the Pod... just plug guitar into Pod and the runs cables from Pod to Mbox... no biggie.
 oh... if you want to record live drums... you will need to get a mixer with enough preamps for all your drum mics (betting you will use more than 2) and then run stereo outs from mixer into Mbox for recording but this will limit your control of final mixing of drums later as it will only be 2 tracks instead of the usual 4-6 tracks. Just depends one how you approach your recording sesssion
