Hello, I had an MBox upon tilla few months ago and its great when it works. The price difference is in the build quality and the mic pres and analog to digital converters and digital to analog converters. Also the MBox mic pres had a ton of gain on them so it worked great with ribbon and dymanic mics which are natorious for their low input. and usually on inexpensive audio interfaces once the last quarter turn of the gain pots on mic pres introduced so much noise they were unusable. Does this mean the less expensive interface sound like crap, no, but there may or may not be an audible difference when tracking through the respective interface. So unless you do a side by side interface shootout you probably wont be able to tell if the difference is just specs on paper. On Jul 11, 2012, at 1:15 PM, Chris Norman wrote:
