For my musician and home studio friends…If you were at AES last month, then you know the big buzz at the show has been about Pro Tools 9. The latest version of Pro Tools has opened up it’s interfacing options and really upped the ante for native based systems with higher track counts and plug-in delay compensation. The Mbox Pro is Avid’s premier portable and compact IO system with a firewire connection and lots of interfacing options:
Hardware configuration:
* 8 x 8 simultaneous channels of I/O
* 4 mic inputs with 48 V phantom power and high pass filter (2 XLR/DI combo, 2 XLR)
* 4 1/4” TRS line inputs
* 2 unbalanced Alt line inputs (2 RCA, 1 mini 1/8”)
* 6 1/4” TRS balanced line outputs
* 2 discrete 1/4 stereo headphone outputs with separate volume controls
* Stereo S/PDIF digital I/O
* 1 MIDI input, 1 MIDI output
* Word clock I/O
* Monitor control section with Mono, Mute, Dim, Alt Source, and Speaker A/B/C switching controls

I just donated $5.00 to All About Jazz.COM to support on-going efforts to uplift jazz music for artists and appreciators since 1995. It’s been tight $ for most of us, but I can’t afford not giving back to this worthy resource. They have done so much for me and jazz in general. PLEASE GIVE WHAT YOU CAN TOO.
