The handle can be swapped out with an alternative, solid piece of blue plastic if you prefer. The smart moulded plastic case can be stood on its end or arranged horizontally in this case, the carrying handle attached to the front panel tilts the front of the M Box 2 up slightly, making it easier to see the settings. The much-imitated look of the M Box has changed completely, although the new design is equally distinctive. (Or how about a PCMCIA card along the lines of Echo's Indigo IO? Please?) Instead, they've replaced the M Box with another USB 1.1 device which offers an almost identical feature set: the M Box 2. A change of plan from Digidesign seemed inevitable, and many people expected them to turn to USB 2 or Firewire to achieve a higher channel count, or perhaps just to drop the M Box altogether and extend their support for M Audio hardware to include USB interfaces such as the Fast Track Pro and Mobile Pre USB. M Audio and other companies such as Edirol and Terratec also make USB devices that are much cheaper than the M Box. There are plenty of affordable interfaces around which use the higher-bandwidth Firewire protocol, including those made by Digidesign's partner company M Audio, which are now compatible with Pro Tools. Recently, the M Box has faced increasingly stiff competition. A simple stereo-in, stereo-out USB audio interface, the M Box allowed anyone with a Mac or PC to call themselves a Pro Tools user without breaking the bank and its clever circuitry meant that the Focusrite-designed mic preamps could derive phantom power parasitically from the host machine's USB port, making it a truly go-anywhere system. In the three and a half years since the original M Box was introduced, it has become one of Digidesign's most successful products.
Avid requires you to buy support codes, which is ridiculous, so any help on this forum would be extremely appreciated.Digidesign have given the most affordable interface in their Pro Tools range a makeover, with a new case, new preamps and some additional features.
They've tried several audio drivers at the Apple Store and nothing is working.
The selected signal bar starts registering a regular, loud, red-lining metalic beeping sound, and at this point the issue remains whether or not I change the audio setting back. HOWEVER, when I change the audio setting to the build-in output, all **** breaks loose. This enabled GarageBand to recognize the MBox 2 as an interface, and it records without much incident when the audio input/output settings remain on the DigiDesign MBox. A trip to the Genius Bar led to downloading a core audio driver. On that system, GarageBand at first didn't recognize the MBox at all. Someone stole my laptop so I had to buy a new MacBook Pro the other day. I've been using my good old MBox 2 with GarageBand on my old MacBook without incident. It was recommended that I post to this forum.
