    Digidesign Mbox 2 with Pro Tools LE 7

    it only has 2 ins so I would look for something with more IN's when trying to track a 12-14 track beat with only 2 ins is very time consuming. I use a AW16G with 8 ins for my MPC I get a 16 track beat done in 2 passes. which might take 5-6 min. On a mbox a 16 track beat could take a hour of...
