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. |

Unfortunately I can't tell you it's not true. Simplicity - humpf! things would be a lot Simpler with the mbox if digidesign had not tried to go-it-alone and make their own inferior drivers instead of using the awesome coreaudio architecture already in mac os x that gets realtime processing priority always. Even their coreaudio driver for other apps is a "hair-pin implementation" that makes it difficult to use with other software and break with each major new release of OS X.
 why? But pro tools itself is great for multitracking and sound design I think.
