Digidesign Pro Tools Bundle

!±8± Digidesign Pro Tools Bundle

When I created a recording studio at home, that was quick, easy and inexpensive first package I would need would be a serious look at Digidesign's Pro Tools bundle.

Digidesign has made a total of four of these bundles of approximately $ 600 mark up to a thousand. (Not listed Great Speeches sale price here) and are:

1 Pro Tools Mbox 2 Bundle Digidisign

2 Digidisign Pro Tools Mbox 2 Pro Bundle

3 Digidisign Bundle Pro Tools Mbox 2 Factory

Digidisign Pro 4Mbox 2 Factory Bundle Pro Tools

All four beams share these five main components:

Mbox or interface

or Pro Tools LE 7 software

or Studio Monitors

o-mic

or Ignition Pack (Software Group)

Main difference # 1:

Note that packets 1 and 3 of the Mbox 2 and Mbox 2 have two four decks Mbox 2 Pro uses a regular USB port and Mbox 2 Pro FireWire connectivity. Some might argue that the latest USB technology is even faster than FireWire, whileThis may be true for some applications, but not for recording music. For recording audio FireWire is faster than USB, which means it easily audible delay called latency. I often do with a USB Mbox and redirect monitoring of a mixer which can bypass the latency problem, but you will not even be there with FireWire speakers.

Main difference # 2:

Then there are the studio monitors. The two low-priced packages 1 and 3 (beam itself, the Mbox 2 USB) have created a pair of Fostex PMO.4Powered Studio Monitors. These are slightly worse than the M-Audio Active Studio Monitor BX5a that come with more expensive packages 2 and 4.

Main difference # 3:

The microphone with bundles 1 and 3 is the Audio-Technica AT2020 cardioid condenser microphone with a characteristic. A decent and good microphone for digital recording. Bundles 2 and 4 are equipped with an AKG Perception 200 condenser microphone, frequency range and a larger aperture of the Audio-Technica.

There are several otherDifferences such as packet switching. Even if all the bundles come with him, are the two most expensive bundle packs a few goodies like IK Multimedia T-RackS EQ plug-ins. This is a great equalizer, and a burning tool that sells for about $ 300 alone. But all have an excellent software such as Reason, Ableton Live, AmpliTube and SampleTank.

As I said, for someone who has been recording on Pro Tools with everything you need and want more, then one of theseDigidesign Pro Tools Bundle is your name.

Oh ... They all come with a microphone stand and cables!
