SO,

I want to re-learn Pro Tools (havent used it in 3 years) but i need a interface just to make it act as a dongle and run PT. What's the cheapest thing i can get to run it ? Ivan

either the Mbox 2 Micro with PT8LE:

or the M-Audio Transit with PT8 M-powered:

both should be similarly priced with software. the transit has stereo line in and optical in, the micro is just a headphone out basically
