marcnyc · 25th January 2007

Hello,
I have a recording studio but I need to be able to sometimes take something with me on the road or home or on a trip to do some work. Since I am a ProTools user and DigiDesign finally has something that will open my 88.2/96 sessions, I was wondering if any of you can share some real world experiences about the Mbox II Pro.

Aside from the obvious differences that you can read on the website, are there differences in the quality of sound between an Mbox II Pro and the Mbox II and I?

Most importantly, it's FireWire, does that mean less/decent latency?

I used an Mbox I (usb) on a trip once and I was recording something and it was terrible. It made it hard to record rhythm-sensitive material for the musician than was using headphones.

Any advice would be great.
Thanks
