"Can Firebox be used as stand-alone preamp with AC adaptor - that is, signals still go in and out?"

-Yes! You dont get any mixing capabilities, but the two preamps do go out outputs 1 and 2 (separately) when the box is not plugged into the computer. Unfortunately it does not remember firebox mixer settings from the last time it was connected to the computer. But it still works biggrin.gif

piggy_destruction: Yes, pro tools will only run on digidesign or select Maudio hardware. I have not tried PT 7 LE yet, but pt 6 LE was not that great (buggy and processor inefficient for me on my Mbox system). I like logic over pro tools. Its more composer-centric as opposed to post-production centric, and more flexible for things like working in tandem with MaxMSP via Jack etc. The cubase u get with the firebox? I have not even installed it, as I have Logic Pro. The thing about the Mbox is u get a complete package (but one i dont trust from experience). With the firebox, u get a cut down cubase, which is prolly OK, but not the greatest.

My firebox blows my Mbox 1 away as a piece of hardware, but if u really want to use pro tools, you will have to go with the Mbox or an Maudio interface (which, like digidesign's interfaces, are not known for their great drivers from what i have heard.)
