A Great Gateway into Pro Tools!

Digidesign's Mbox 2 Mini is one of the smallest, most affordable Pro Tools LE systems ever! Whether you're a singer/songwriter who's new to recording or a seasoned pro on the go, Mbox 2 Mini packs professional features into a robust, ultra compact, easy-to-use audio workstation to record and mix music wherever your inspiration takes you. And with its compact size, Mbox 2 Mini literally puts the power of Pro Tools in the palm of your hand. It comes with award-winning, easy-to-use Pro Tools LE software, which provides you with many of the same tools the pros use on major recordings and in films. And because Pro Tools is the industry standard, you can use your Mbox 2 Mini-recorded sessions in any Pro Tools-equipped studio around the world!

The USB-powered Mbox 2 Mini gives you two channels of Pro Tools recording, so it's ideal for the singer/songwriter, podcaster, or anyone with basic recording needs. Just a plug a microphone into the first channel and your acoustic guitar or keyboard in the second channel, and you'll be ready to record at better-than-CD quality! The Digidesign Mbox 2 Mini features stereo outputs, so you can listen to your creations through a pair of studio monitors. And you can always plug your favorite pair of headphones right into the handy front-panel headphone jack.

All in all, this streamlined interface is ideal for desktop production and on-the-go projects... no wonder, the Mbox 2 Mini is one of Sweetwater's best sellers!

Of course, the heart of the Mbox 2 system is the powerful Digidesign Pro Tools LE 8 software - the same software used in countless professional recording studios and post houses across the world. The tracks that you create in Pro Tools LE 8 can be instantly opened and used in those same pro studios - take your sessions to a Pro Tools|HD-equipped studio and have them mixed by a pro, or enjoy having your entire body of work be fully compatible and usable whenever it's time to make the move into a larger system - with Pro Tools LE 8, you become a part of the largest community of digital audio workstation users in the world.

This version of the industry standard gives you unprecedented Pro Tools LE recording, mixing, and editing power, offering an impressive 48 simultaneous mono or stereo audio tracks - expandable up to 128 tracks with full 7.1 surround sound mixing! You'll also enjoy robust MIDI sequencing and editing abilities, built-in music notation tools with the Score Editor, Elastic Time and Elastic Pitch control, easy track-comping tools, convenient automation and controller lanes, and a time-saving update-checking feature for Pro Tools and all of your plug-ins. Plus, Pro Tools LE 8 includes a comprehensive collection of professional sound-processing plug-ins and 20 new effects - on top of a host of incredible virtual instruments. There are a Mini Grand piano, the Boom drum machine, the DB-33 tonewheel organ, and Vacuum and Xpand!2 synths, and more - as well as more than 9GB of high-quality loops and a ton of plug-ins and tools to fix, enhance, and polish your mixes. In short, you'll have all the tools you need to create radio-ready tracks - right from the moment you open the box!
