Pro Tools Mbox 2 Mini

as far as an entry to pro tools its a bargain.

however the mbox aint the greatest interface, but you get what ya pay for
 
Its wicked for its price, but you should go for the mbox 2 standard, because you can record 2 channels simultaneous with that. And mboxs are awesome, the software is great. andyou can do nearly anything with that, here is something i recently recorded all through my mbox.

track sounds awesome dude!!

i'd get the mbox 2 but i don't have that kind of money unfortunately! i'm only gonna ever need to do 1 track at a time really, going to be using programmed drums for anything i do
 
actually your right, i have an mbox 1 at the moment. The mic pre's are apparently better (focusrite) but the mbox 2's more than make up with the newly improved a?d converters inside! and theyre cheap :)
