Mbox2 interface for recording your ideas
Digidesign rolled up their sleeves and went to work to make sure the Mbox 2 delivers superior sound quality that easily surpasses the sound of almost any other bus-powered USB-audio interface. Mbox 2 features newly-designed mic preamps (designed by Digidesign) and new A/D and D/A converters, offering an impressive dynamic range that translates into much more headroom and a significantly lower noise floor. The result is that Mbox 2 users can record ideas more accurately and play them back in greater fidelity than ever before.

Pro Tools LE Software
This bundle 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 recorded sessions in any Pro Tools-equipped studio around the world.

M-Audio Axiom 25 MIDI Controller
M-Audio's new Axiom 25 kicks off the more advanced Axiom line of MIDI controllers. Built around an even more rugged chassis, the Axiom 25 includes 25 semi-weighted velocity-sensitive keys with assignable aftertouch, eight MIDI trigger pads, six reassignable transport buttons, 20 non-volatile memory locations and more!

Studiophile AV 40 reference monitors
The compact M-Audio Studiophile AV 40 powered reference speakers are great tools for traveling musicians who want to record on the road, or as top-flite monitors for desktop recording and multimedia systems with space concerns. These mighty mites deliver the same M-Audio quality as their big brothers. A 4" polypropylene-coated woofer and 3/4" ferrofluid-cooled silk dome tweeters combine to create punchy lows, crisp highs, and an overall even, transparent response.

Nova condenser microphone
M-Audio's Nova is a large capsule cardioid condenser mic, using the same acclaimed technology as M-Audio's Luna and Solaris mics. A 1.1" evaporated gold diaphragm is mounted in a solid brass encapsule, making the Nova sturdy, as well as ensuring source-faithful recordings. This mic includes a hard mount for your mic stand, and a soft case for protection!

Velvet vintage piano plug-in
Velvet faithfully reproduces the sound and feel of classic Rhodes and Wurlitzer electric pianos and packages it nicely in an easy-to-use graphic interface. There are over 100 presets included, plus sounds can easily be tweaked with controls for overall timbre, dynamic response, and velocity curve of each model for a range of classic and contemporary electric piano sounds. Velvet gives you a ton of built-in processors to tailor the sound to your desires with a preamp featuring tube overdrive, compression, and 3-band EQ, along with distortion, wah/filter, modulation, and Echoplex delay. The electric piano was instrumental to the sound of rock n' roll in the '50s and '60s, and Velvet now puts it in the hands of Pro Tools users in a an easy-to-use, great-sounding plug-in!

Structure LE
Digidesign's A.I.R. shakes things up with Structure LE, a professional RTAS sampler designed and optimized specifically for Pro Tools. Structure LE boasts an advanced sound engine that supports up to 8-channel multitimbral playback per Structure instance and 256-note polyphony. Structure LE comes with a professional 3 GB sound library from A.I.R. to get you started, and like its big brother, Structure LE delivers exceptional performance and unprecedented reliability to keep your creativity flowing. Tap into the power of sampling with Structure LE!

iLok Smart Key for holding all of your plug-in licenses
Lok is a hardware USB dongle that accepts "license chips" for software authorization. iLok uses the same, secure Smart Card technology that you've probably already used in cellphones, casinos, on the American Express blue card, and so forth. You can take your iLok dongle anywhere, and use the software on any computer free from the problems of hard drive failures, computers which don't have floppy disks, and so forth. Repeat: no more floppy disk or hard drive headaches!

All required cables
It can be frustrating when you buy a new system, only to open the box and realize you're missing just one cable to get everything running. Luckily, Digidesign has you covered! The Pro Tools Music Creation Studio comes with all the cabling you need to get started immediately - stop worrying, and start creating!

Exclusive 24/7 Sweetwater Support
When you buy your Pro Tools system from Sweetwater, you have a team of Pro Tools experts standing behind you. We have helped literally thousands of our customers get started with their Pro Tools|HD, Pro Tools LE, and Pro Tools M-Powered systems, and we've even created a Sweetwater-exclusive online Pro Tools Resource Center that answers many of the most common Pro Tools questions - everything from how to set up your first session, to the latest compatibility details.

Though the software applications included in the Pro Tools Ignition Pack are "lite" versions, they are fully functional tools that pack in serious features for music creation and production. They are not demos. What's more, many of the software manufacturers offer upgrades to the full versions of their respective products at discounted prices.

The same software the pros use
Of course, the heart of the Mbox 2 system is Digidesign Pro Tools LE software - the same software used in countless professional recording studios and post houses across the world. Plus, the tracks that you create in Pro Tools LE 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, you become a part of the largest community of digital audio workstation users in the world.

This version of the industry standard gives you incredible recording, mixing, and editing power, offering 32 simultaneous audio tracks (with 128 virtual audio tracks), fully integrated MIDI sequencing with 256 simultaneous MIDI tracks, the ability to stream ReWire applications, and the unique Beat Detective LE automatic groove analysis and correction tool. Pro Tools LE also includes 37 DigiRack plug-ins, including EQ, dynamics, delays, reverb, and much more, plus seven professional Bomb Factory plug-ins - all the tools you need to create radio-ready tracks right from the moment you open the box.
