Re: quest for an audio interface for laptop music applications

I have the older mBox with Focusrite pres, and while the preamps are
perfectly adequate I wouldn't call them great. The name 'Focusrite'
doesn't appear in the specification for the new mBox2 (or at least if
it does I can't find it), so clearly that feature's been traded off in
the redesign.

Both the old mBox (now discontinued) and the new mBox 2 come with ASIO
and WDM drivers for Windows and Core Audio drivers for MacOSX. So you
can use them with audio applications other than ProTools.
