Anyone had any joy with these? Is the card too good for just a electro drum kit, vox, bass and guitar? Or would any less expensive cards so the job? Card will be used on an Ibook 750mhz. cheers!

Strictly as an audio/midi interface. The mbox is priced above similar units by other manufacturers.

But it is the cheapest price of admission to get the Pro Tools software. So the question is: how badly do you need Pro Tools?

Also the Mbox comes with ProTools LE, so it doesn't have any dsp and wont make it any easier on your computer.... it is a simple setup to have going if that's what you're looking for though

unless you really need cheap pro tools - dont get the mbox. I have one and I regret it now that I dont use pro tools so much. The drivers are just crappy - not dependable and I/O latency (512 samples min. with apps other than pro tools) is too much for live work.
