Default Purchased a used M-Box (without software)....

Hi.

Sorry if this has been asked before (I tried the search).

I've purchased a used M-Box 2 all by itself. No software etc.
I'd like to purchase PT 8 LE for it. Will this work? Or is there a step that I'm missing? The download & box version are called "upgrade versions"

What if I have no previous versions?


Many thanks in advance,
Erik

So I should have no problem with my used lonely M-Box working with PT 8?
That's good to hear.

May I ask one more (dumb) question?

I use an Echo Audiofire 12 for my ins coming from my console. (With Ableton)
If I have the MBox connected, using PT, will my Audiofire also be seen?
Or can I only monitor using my Mbox?

NO. PTLE won't see other interface. Also won't work with other interface.
Mbox 2 will work with other software.

That's what I shall do. Track into Ableton. Mix in PT.
I know that VST's and AU don't work in PT unless you use a wrapper or patch type program. Are there better options for this?

Also..... (sorry for so many questions)

Will my Mackie MCU (the older style one), work with LE?
In other words does LE have control surface support?


Thanks a ton folks!
