m-box is a interface that allows audio to go in and out of pro tools, without it pro tools wont work, its the trick pro tools creators used to stop people hacking it lol witch is why its even more awesome, i mean pro tools is the same thing Jin uses to record his albums so thats just a small example of how dope this program is :smoking:

smiliar expect the one you have is more of a general interface, and a M-box, while being a general interface, has direct links with pro tools

you got an m-box for free? :o I'm jealous :p

and yeah, I'm not surprised your quality is better, the quality of the preamp makes a huge difference :y: altho I never used an mbox so I don't know, but judging from your reaction, they seem great lol :8)

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 :happy:

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 :sweating: 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 :sweating: 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 )

ok that's cool no problem :happy: I was curious to know cause in a lot of articles I read, it always said that it didn't matter what software you used, what matters is the equipment you have, and how you mix... but yet, a lot of people say that Pro Tools is awesome and gets you better sound quality, so I'm curious to know who's right lol :happy: for the test to work tho, it would need to be similar recordings (same bit depth and stuff etc...) I'm not an expert at that, but like 44,100 kHz and 16-bits (for example) etc... cause it would be unfair to compare an mp3 recording with a wav recording :sweating:
