Default what else do I need m-powered 8 (hardware wise)

Right now pro-tools M-Powered 8 will not work because I don't have an m-audio piece of hardware. I want to know what you guys recommend for my situation. I will be bringing home tracks after church to mix down (play with is more like it though since I don't know what I'm doing yet.). I don't know why I need anything other then the software if I'm not going to be recording, but whatever, maybe there is a work around that someone knows about. I did find something cheap but I don't know if it will work... M-Audio - Midisport 1 X 1

The Mbox 2 Micro will do what you are talking about. If you're not married to Mpowered. The Micro uses LE.

Because it's Pro Tools.

You need a Pro Tools capable/compatible audio interface. Just "any sound card" will not do.

The MIDISPORT is just a MIDI interface; no audio. So that will not work for running Pro Tools.

The Transit is probably your cheapest route to qualified sound hardware for MPowered. The have it at Musician's Friend for $79
