is it true that you can only use the protools software when using the Mbox, or would i be able to record into cubase or samplitude? Also how good are the pre-amps in the Mbox? thanks
If I'm correct there are Focusrite preamps in the MBox.
I believe you can also use the Mbox with other software, but the whole plus of the Mbox is that you can use Pro tools. If you ar eplanning not to use Pro Tools, you'd better buy another interface!

There's a small list of what Digi says their hardware has been tested on. Just do your research. Pretty much as long as the software works with ASIO drivers, then you can get the hardware to work.
