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. |

Yeah.
I'm using a G4 emac running ProTools and Logic Pro - with an MBox. I also have a G4 just running Logic Pro - with a Hammerfall. T the moment the latency on the MBox makes the system unworkable - on either Pro Tools or Logic. Thinking of ditching Pro Tools and selling the MBox and getting a decent audio interface. The only reason I stick with the ProTools system is because so many people bring me stuff that other people have recorded on ProTools - and want to work on them. And the first thing I have to do us convert this to Logic - for which I need Pro Tools to check out all the tempo settings, time stamps etc. I know so many people who swear by ProTools - but - to be honest - give me Logic Pro any day. It's about time Digi brought in a firewire interface to replace the MBox! Hopefully before I find myself shopping again.
