Hi,
I thought the MBox would provide me with very good preamps (Focusrite) but actually I had to push the gain button almost to the max (as always with integrated preamps!) to get an acceptable sound level from my SM57.
Contrary to what Digidesign claim, I don't think that 600 Euros is an affordalbe price....couldn't they put 2 more inputs then? And most of all, I realised that the MBox was not compatible with My iMac G3...

Fair enough. I had the same issue, but then I tried a condenser mic instead of a dynamic mic and the difference was incredible! Sounds really great!
I got an inexpensive Samson for about $75US.
With the condenser mic., Sansamp guitar box, Doggiebox drum software I feel like I'm set.
Give a condenser mic. a shot before you give up on the Mbox.
Good luck.
