Hey everyone
Wanted to pick your brains and get some ideas/suggestions/opinions on this. I've been using ProTools LE and I'm pretty much happy with it so I'm not looking to change my DAW but the only interface I have is my MBox. Now this isn't really much of a problem since I have access to a couple of studios to do actual tracking on a larger scale (drums and such) and only use my Mbox for when I need to do some overdubs for projects at home, various guitar parts, keys, etc ... things that I like to spend more time with and of course, so that I'm able to run PT. Now I've been thinking for a while about upgrading some of my own recording gear but I have no need for anything with 8-16 channels blah blah blah since the most I would ever be doing is the stuff I mentioned above. Now a lot of people say they pres in the MBox are pretty nice but the converters suck ass. That being the case, can you guys make some suggestions of how I could improve my signal chain to go into PT without having to buy something like a 002 or 003 and the using the lightpipe for to hook up something better? I'm thinking any type of 2-4 channel pres and either seperate converters or something that is just overall better than the MBox with both ... and then also how I could hook that up to work. Any ideas would be appreciated. This isn't something I'm looking to do immediately, would just be nice to have some good ideas on what to look at. As far as budget, well, I would say anything in the $2000 - $4000 range just to see what you guys can come up with. Thanks in advance
Cheers!
