Mbox 2 interface for recording your ideas
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 diminutive 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.

M-Audio 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-flight 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-diaphragm 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 capsule, making the Nova sturdy, as well as ensuring source-faithful recordings. The Nova includes a mic stand mount and a soft case for protection.

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!

Includes dozens of plug-in effects and instruments
Powered by award-winning, easy-to-use Pro Tools LE software, Mbox 2 Mini turns your PC or Mac into a full-fledged recording studio that's packed with many of the same tools the pros use. Mbox 2 Mini also comes with an incredible software bundle called Ignition Pack 2 to help turn your creative ideas into reality quickly and easily.

The Pro Tools Ignition Pack 2 includes:
  • Ableton Live Lite 6 Digidesign Edition: Compose, record, remix, improvise, and edit musical ideas easily with this intuitive sampler/sequencer. Live's audio sequencing can modify loops in real time - just drop any loops you like into a song, regardless of their pitch or tempo.
  • Propellerhead Software Reason Adapted 3: Specially developed for Pro Tools systems, this latest version of Reason Adapted includes a serious virtual rack of synthesizers, samplers, and effects that you can stream directly into the Pro Tools mixer through ReWire.
  • FXpansion BFD Lite (3 kits): FXpansion BFD Lite puts a full drum studio within easy reach, letting you work with virtual acoustic drum kits and individual samples - all produced in pristine fidelity with multiple velocity layers.
  • IK Multimedia AmpliTube LE: AmpliTube LE is a flexible plug-in with a variety of amp and cabinet models, classic stomp boxes, and other effects. AmpliTube LE sounds great on guitar or anything else.
  • Celemony Melodyne essential: Melodyne essential enables you to tune mono audio tracks, edit the timing of melodic lines, or completely rearrange parts through an intuitive interface.
  • iZotope Ozone 3 Lite, Trash Lite, and Spectron Lite: With this collection of iZotope's acclaimed plug-ins, you have a powerful range of tools to sculpt your sound. There's Ozone 3 Lite for mastering your mixes, Trash Lite for an array of top-notch classic guitar amp tones and stomp box effects, and Spectron Lite for advanced signal processing and spectral effects.
  • Arturia Analog Factory SE: With Analog Factory SE, you'll enjoy hundreds of high-quality vintage and modern analog synth sounds - plus the ability to tweak them to sonic perfection!
  • Digidesign Xpand! by A.I.R.: Xpand! is a powerful virtual instrument with a host of sounds designed to inspire your creativity, and help you polish your tracks. Cellos, string ensembles, a grand piano, multiple synth beds, chimes, bells, acoustic and electric basses, and more - with Xpand! you can quickly create fully realized soundscapes and backing tracks.
  • Way Out Ware TimewARP 2600 Lite: A spot-on emulation of the vintage ARP 2600 analog synth (endorsed by the ARP's original creator, Alan Robert Pearlman), you can choose from more than 60 preset patches for instant, 70s vibe.
  • M-Audio ProSessions SE Sound Library: ProSessions SE offers up its collection of high-quality samples so you can build up deep mixes right away.
  • Pro Tools Method One Instructional DVD: Learn Pro Tools system essentials, from setting up sessions and recording audio to editing MIDI, working with loops and plug-ins, automating mixes, and more.
  • One-Year Membership to Broadjam.com: Promote your music around the world with a free one-year membership to Broadjam.com, an easy-to-use web service for independent musicians.
  • One-year Subscription to Sonicbids.com: With this one-year standard subscription, you have the tools you need to promote yourself to the media, record labels, booking agents, and more with your own personal Electronic Press Kit.

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 Mini 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.

iLok Smart Key for holding all of your plug-in licenses
iLok 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.

“This bundle is amazing! The set-up is extremely easy, and the price is even better. You are up and running in almost no time at all. The most time consuming part is the registrations / authorizations for each of the fantastic LE plug-ins that are included.
