If you are doing home recording, I think Pro Tools is overkill. I have several Presonus products and am very pleased with them. It would be a good option if you want to get a FireWire card for it. The FireBox comes with Cubase LE which is getting good reviews (well at least its daddy-SX-is). Our PC only has USB but I could get a FireWire PCI card. Our worship pastor mentioned the FireBox, too.
That would totally hose us up as we are multi-tracking like crazy. I had been seriously considering the MBox with Pro Tools LE bundle until I read your comments here about latency issues. wav files into it and are having a blast using the plug-ins to sweeten things up, then do a better mix at his console. He's got, you guessed it, Pro Tools, so we have also imported our. We are both taking a Live Sound Engineering course, which meets in the instructor's recording studio. This is working out quite nicely for a home rig, but I'm looking into something newer/better. I then copy the tracks, one by one (with a bit of click at the beginning so I can line them up again) into Cakewalk Home Studio 2002 on the PC. My son and I have been doing some home recording into my old Sony multi-track mini-disc recorder. Hey guys, great thread! Thanks for all the tips. I think this unit is designed to get you hooked on Pro Tools so you'll finally give in and buy an 001 or 002. It is unfortunate Digidesign didn't do a better job of making an inexpensive entry into Pro Tools.

Unfortunately, ASIO drivers require exclusive priveledge, which means you can't use the M-Box for inputs and your regular sound card for output either. I found an online review in a magazine like EQ (I'll see if I can find it again) which reached the conclusion that it is a good unit for recording live situations but is useless for multitracking. The M-Box's DA/AD converters must be extremely inefficient-it simply cannot handle sound going both ways. The best I could ever get it was about 250ms, which is way too much. If you want to monitor what you are doing at all, you will have latency problems. That's true for many outboard units like the Tascam, but the M-Box is a different story. everything pre-recorded mixed with your live signal through the m-box will be zero latency. To avoid this, just mute the output of your live track.

You wont want to do much eq or mixing, I'd think, to bring out the full natural sound of your amps as much as possible. Im assuming you want to post these clips on the web? well, the card, preamp, and mic should get you there.
I'd just use some decent monitors or even your regular home stereo system. If you're not multitrack recording, I dont really see the need to get any headphones or really good monitoring system.
If you're on the cheap and just want some sound clips, i'd say get the 2496 card, a decent mic, an ok preamp, and whatever software comes bundled with the card (G-Live "demo" version, but its enough). I've got the Audiophile 2596 - good card, especially for the money.Īlso, the latency of outboard unitslike the M-Box is only an issue if you're trying to monitor your live sound after being processed through the recording software. It has the worst latency and strange behavior problems I have ever seen and I am not a novice at troubleshooting such things. My strongest advice is to stay away from the M-Box-at least on the PC.

There is some pretty good open source recording software out there for free if you don't plan to go wild. In your case, you could use the card, preamp, phones, and mic for $326 and have something better than the Tascam. I highly recommend the 2496 sound card plus external mic preamp solution over most of the all-in-one interfaces out there-the quality is better by leaps and bounds and it has no latency problems since it plugs right into your PCI buss. The bundled software is almost unusable IMHO. It does a decent job, but the preamps are pretty noisy. I owned the Tascam for a few months and I still recommend it to beginners looking for a very easy way into PC recording.
