What would you guys recommend as the best small and tight mobile set-up...I guess taht comes down to interface. Personally, I think we have to use one of their M-Box deals, but can I just slap an Apogee Mini-Me via SPDIF on the front of that and keep it good sounding AND small?

Any other mobileinterfaces that offer good converters?

Soooo...anyone with a good mobile Pro Tools set up via laptop, let's herar your set-up!

?I use a Metric Halo ULN 2 as preamps and converters to my PT unit.
I find it not bad at all.

I'd like to know if anyone is out there with Pro Tools on the new laptops, a minimal set-up and getting good results.

If so, what is your travel rig.

Me, I'm thinking the new Pro Tools for the Intel Mac, an Apogge Mini-me going SPDIF through a dhaper Pro Tools approved Audiophimle M-power deal and a small 4 space rack of select rakced analogue synths and small keybopard controller.

Any other suggestions for both high-quality results for when that work gets bropught bakc into the main studio?

I will soon be using:

MacBook Pro 15" (top of the line)
M-Audio Audiophile Firewire with Pro Tools M-Powered
Apogee Rosetta 200

That's a pretty mobile rig (ok, the Rosetta 200 is a full rack but it's still pretty minimal).
