Re: Live Looping Interface



Thanks Per. That's the problem, i would record on Pro Tools but that's not for live use (what it is my main concern).

Thanks again.

Hi Ariel,

I had a M-Box 2 Mini (not sure it's the same as the "M-Box Mini"
you're talking about) for a while to test and review it in a magazine.
It communicates over USB 1.1 and I was really surprised that it
sounded ok. No glitches at all in the audio when I played guitar into
it and had the sound go back out through the interface (to PA). It
worked very well for recording in Pro Tools. I could record many
tracks and record while listening to both my live instrument and the
recorded material through the interface. But that was Pro Tools. When
testing the M-Box 2 Mini with other DAW applications and looping
applications the sound was not clear any more. Glitches and drop-outs
happened now and then.

I think it is a good deal if you buy it for mixing and recording with
Pro Tools. You get an awful lot of software bundled as well. I would
not dare to recommend it for use with other applications than Pro
Tools though.
