Be forwarned of a long and timely install with Protools M-Box.
This takes HOURS and is a pain -But WORTH IT

If you are going with the M-Box 2 Pro make sure you get the-(I think Digidesign just updated the M Box 2 Pro-look for that one.)
-Digidesign Mbox 2 Factory Bundle Audio/MIDI Interface -
--You get extra plug ins--
Digidesign Mbox 2 Factory Bundle Plug-Ins:
Moogerfooger Analog Delay
JOEMEEK SC2 Compressor
JOEMEEK VC5 Meequalizer

Luke will match prices with anyone and does not mislead you-with ordering and then its on backorder.
I talked with him today and told him (Karen) might be calling-just say Deward told me your # and ext. he will know who you are.

Good Luck in your quest.
