Just wondering if anyone has gone out and picked up one of the new Mboxes. I was in the search for maybe the old mini, but found out they recently came out with a new line. Anyone taken the plunge yet? What do you think about them?

Wow yet again they overprice these little M-boxes...

They look to be similarly priced to the last versions, and I assume they have been upgraded to some extent.


Makes sense to me.

They look very nice. Plus they can be used with Logic and any other program now.

You always could in fact, they are taking this option away from the HD system as logic gains ground in the DaW war, which is a major step back as many studios around the world reley on a logic/pt setup. Pro tools the program won't work on non PT hardware, but you have always been able to run other DAW's on PT hardware through digi core audio!

They do look pretty cool. I don't think they are particularly overpriced if you look at the equivalents in terms of I/O, quality and bundled software.

So are you saying that if I copped an old Mbox mini, I could use reaper, cubase, etc on it in addition to PT? The main reason I was waiting was because these come with PT already, and the new ones can use other programs now.
