Setting up a new studio - former Mbox.

[HarveyLG]

I have a Mbox for about 1 year and am very disappointed with compatibility for XP and digidesign support. I believe it was really made for apple mac OS. Wat too many error messages during recording and bouncing that digidesign seems not to respond to.

O.K. so now I would like to try something maybe easier / looking at separating recoding into a separate unit like a fostex VF80CDR or Yamaha AW16gchd - both with Cd burning / bounce capability on board.

I mainly record acoustic / some electric and vocals.

Mic is audio technica AT 4040. Monitors are open to be bought.

Any recommendations - comments?

Thanks in advance

Im curious about your bad mbox xperience. Im about to get one for my "B" studio with a PC....

Might want to stick with the Mbox for a bit. Apple has been pissing off Digidesign lately (Apple owns Logic). Digidesign has been hinting that the will be taking better care of their PC users in the Future.

Well if you run XP you need to make sure your computer will be compatible to the MBox as it takes a lot of memory off of it and some other stuff that I can't recall like enough RAM and so forth...

SamAsh store here in Miami where calling out all MBox owners to turn them in and get something better of course from degidesign themselves...hmm
