Default Eleven Rack + Another interface?

Maybe a dumb question but couldnt find the answer and it affects my decision on what to buy. If I buy Eleven Rack, can I add say a Fast Track Pro or other interface for more portable record options? Or do i have to buy separate systems like an mbox?

Pro Tools will only see ONE interface at a time, at least at the LE level. If that is indeed the question.....

well Id like to be able to do mobile records on my laptop without having to lug around a rack unit. Maybe another dumb question, can I just use my line inputs on the laptop instead of using a digidesign interface?

unfortunately not. digi software requires digi hardware. you could get an MBox or MBox pro to run with your laptop, we have a 002R with homemade pc and a MBox2 pro with macbook and external drive for mobile recording.

So I basically have to buy PT twice for each interface? I do lots of mobile records for corporate (dictation, conferences, panel discussions.) and dont want to lug around a rack unit like Eleven. I can use Audacity just fine to record but having protools avaialble with the Eleven, I wonder if I can just add a fast track to use for those mobile records without having to buy PT twice essentially.

PT can be installed on more than one computer(since you have to attach an interface for PT to open. The Eleven Rack is a complete interface with a mic input, line ins and outs and SPDIF IO. If you end up with 2 copies of Pro Tools, just take the new software and sell it unregistered. The next owner can register it and you get some money back on the purchase.
