Advice About The Mbox, would anybody recommend this Options

[abcdaniel]

If I were in your shoes, I would get myself an mbox, but I would make absolutely sure that I got it together with a version of ProTools that runs on OS9, that is ProTools 5.x. (ProTools 6.x only runs OSX)

Then I would start up in OS9 every time I´d like to use ProTools and I would probably have an aight number of tracks/effects. I would try it on OSX, but if it didn´t work out, it´s all good. Still got OS9. When I´d get my new G5 I´d move everything to OSX.

This is what I´d done, but I don´t mind being backwards and work in boring old OS9. You decide, depending on how interested you are in ProTools.

Check out the user conference on www.digidesign.com.
Did a quick search for "400 mhz" and found this.
Might be interesting.
Good luck.

I have never used logic - but i do like pro tools le - it's very solid - and it's great for audio

I run os 10.3 on a Powerbook 667 with 768mb ram - the track count is not mind blowing but it's fine for what i normally do. It hooks up to Reason fantastically via ReWire. I run it off the internal HD (not recommended by digi) - i changed this to a Hitachi 60gb 7200 rpm internal BTW.

i don't see the usb bus being an issue - it's a stereo device - we are not talkin 16 tracks - ok if there was a choice but otherwise identical of course i would choose firewire - but it works for me.

Digi have realeased a new core audio driver (multi client) so we will have to see if this sorts this problem out.
