I'm jealous
and yeah, I'm not surprised your quality is better, the quality of the preamp makes a huge difference
altho I never used an mbox so I don't know, but judging from your reaction, they seem great lol
can you still record in Cool Edit with your mbox? or it only records in Pro Tools?
if it records in Cool Edit too, could you make some tests and compare a recording made in CE and a recording made in PT? I'm curious to see if Pro Tools makes a difference, or if the difference comes from the mbox itself
yeh, the college got us it for free, coz well, 70% of our course is on pro tools so if we dont have pro tools at home we are at a dis-advantage, the music department use that as an excuse to get a bigger budget to buy them for us lol
and yeh the quality is alot better, although i havent rapped properly but its defiantly a big improvement because i dont have that hiss i used to have.
and sorry man i cant make the comparison
when i installed pro tools and went to open it, it shut down straight away, and i think it was because my computer had to much on it (ram is the space i think programs use when running) so i un-installed cool edit and acid pro (and also alot of other stuff i didnt need) because i wont be using them anymore
so sorry about that man
all i do know is the M-box (as you said) has the pre-amp, and a independant sound card so i think the M-box makes a big difference more than the program does but i aint sure
if/when mc maybe come online im sure hell be able to answer hes been using pro tools for a while and im sure hell know the technical stuff (more than me anywae lol )
