Re: Audio Interfaces (again)
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.

Re: Audio Interfaces (again)
Hiya mate, I want to be able to record from as many different inputs as possible, so 4 on the mBox, I'll hardly ever use more than that, and a bunch of outputs, so I can have dedicated monitor mixes etc. I loved the way the mBox Pro worked, and I'll probably get another one if the ProFire isn't great, also, I'm in the UK, so I don't really want to be buying stuff from the US LOL, but thank you for the offer.

Re: Audio Interfaces (again)
Hey man. What are you looking for in an interface? How many ins and outs? I'm currently selling 2 pieces. An M Audio Fasttrack Ultra, which has 6 ins and 8 outs for $200, and an M Audio Project Mix IO for $400, which is a control surface with motorized faders, midi, 8 ins, 4 outs, but expandable to 16 ins with the use of an ADAT Light Pipe interface. The pres on both units are great, and both units are in fantastic shape. Only downside is that the control panels are inaccessible, but once it's set, you're ready to go. Let me know if interested.

Audio Interfaces (again)
Hiya all, I emailed a while about about audio interfaces, and I'm sure you all pointed me at the mBox Pro. I got one, and unfortunately it was b-stock, and didn't work very well. Other than that, I love it. Anyways, it looks like the company I brought it off won't repair it for me, so I'm looking again. I have found the ProFire 2626, and it looks, at least on paper better than the mBox Pro, but the price is so massively different, I'm wondering, what is the difference between these interfaces? >From the looks of it, the mBox has less inputs and outputs, and fewer mic pre's, for over double the price. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated, and I'm sorry if it's off-topic, if it is, please email me privately. Cheers all, -- Take care, Chris Norman.
