Focusrite Saffire Pro 14 with 10.3.
 

Hey guys,

This may be a very very simple and stupid question - but I have an MBOX Mini 2 and they're no longer compatible with Pro Tools 10.3 on Mountain Lion so I'm looking to buy a Saffire 14.

The MBOX - if I'm right - took the burden of some of the processing in Pro Tools off of the computers processor by acting kind of as a sound card when it was connected. . . does the Focusrite do this?

Or did the MBOX never do that and I've just made it up ! Haha.

Thanks for any help.

Well it's your interface so it does become a sound card for Pro Tools, but the processing is all done on the computer. The Focusrite will act the same.

I had an MBox2 and it never did that. It was just an interface. You are talking about on board DSP. I am using a Focusrite Scarlet 2i2 and it surprised me. Focusrite products are good.

Yes. . .since I posted I've found the Scarlett 2i2 and it looks perfect for what I need. I just need 2 mic inputs and 2 outputs so it's perfect, and yet small, cute, inexpensive and looks good haha.

Thanks for the answers Abre and cwsand
